ual farmer, workins alone, will ac-
complish nothing. If we refer again
to those same census returns, we
shall find that almost without excep-
ton those states that have gone
farthest in developing cooperation
among farmers are the ones that
have made the greatest agricultural
progress during the past 10 or 20
years. In 1919 two and one-half per
cent. of our Maine farmers sold their
products on the cooperative plan,
while in Minnesota and California,
the percentages We're 43 and 90 re-
spectively.
1t is impossible to foresee the bene-
fits that might result if some of the
solictude that is being expressed
over our agricultural situation,
should be applied for example, to the
affairs of the Maine Farmers Elk
change, an organization that has
wonderful possibilities both in the
purchasing of farmers supplies and
in the marketing of their. products,
butw hich is now compelled to do
business on less than 20 per cent. Of
the capital necessary to its successful
operation. Why not try the expert
ment of establishing some cooperative
consumers organizations in our cit
les, to purchase directly from far
mers' associations? Are we not about
ready for the establishment of a mod
oln storage warehouse in one of our
Maine cities where farm products
can be stored and a regular supply
assured our merchants and hotel
keepers without going over the us
ual expensive and unsatisfactory
course of shipping to Boston and re-
shipping back to Maine. May we not
hope for some legislation this year
that will protect the markings on our
potato packages so that they will
mean something to the buyer? True,
it would be better for the farmers to
accomplish all these results for them
selves. as they will. in time, but if we
expect immediate progress their eff
fCrts must be encouraged and sup
ported now. The interests of the far
mer must be very carefully guarded
through this discouraging period. So
far there has been too much talk and
too little action but even the former
Las its waite since it calls attention
to the problems of the farm and to
the fact that it is not Yet too late to
save the largest industry of the state.

Red Cross Result of Geneyan

The battle of Solferino, fought in
1850 between the allied French and
Sardinians and the Austrians, was
one of the most sanguinary conflicts
of modern times. Twenty thousand
Austrians and $4,000 of the allies
were killed and wounded
TO Henri Dunant, a Genevan phil
anthrOpist, who witnessed the battle
it seemed that the wounded, not the
soldiers who met instant death, were
the real unfortunates. The military
adequate. Most Of the wounded
were left in agony. Thousands VINO
might have been saved by timely
help died upon the battlefield.
The Sw SIS philanthropist and
other volunteers did all they could
to relieve the suffering, but that was
comparatively little. The Genevan
asked himself what could be done
to mitigate the horrors of war. he
devoted much thought to the pro-
blem until, finally. he was able 70
suggest q plan of action. This plan
he set forth in a phamphlet entitled,
"A Souvenir of Solferino."
Dunant advocated an international
society composed of volunteer nurses
who should hold themselves in read
mess to follow armies and aid the
wounded Of any nation, to be pro
tcctcd by all nations asmeutrals and
non-combatants engaged in works Of
mercy.
This pamphlet proved to be the
foundation upon which the Red
Cross Society was organized. Dun
ants project was warmly approved
by his own government. When
Dunant went to Paris he found that
| there. too, the pamphlet had made a
deep impression.
The day after its publication in
the French capital, Nine. de Stael.

the Red Cro-s bandages to be dis
played in her drawing ROOM To
