POSSIBLE WAR BULLET
THE DIFFERENCE

The world looks bleak and dreary
When market prices flop;
IT makes you sore and weary
When all quotations drop;
The country's shot to pieces"
You cry: Its on the rocks
AS you observe decreases
Mark every list OF stocks.
But when shares take to rising
And stocks 60 soaring, well,
It's really quite surprising
How quickly all looks swell.

game cocks Of the grain trade in
the same pen.

differences held responsible for the
delay in appointment Of a grain
man, 20 the farm board. wheat pools
on one hand. and cooperative grain
elevators on the other, are brought
under a common roof In the pro-
posed 2 1000. 900 cooperative mar
keting corporation.
The super-organization would act
as a central marketing agency
through which the annual exports
Of 400, 1000, 900 bushels. or approx
mately one-fourth Of the entire
wheat crop Of the nation, would be
sold abroad.
There would be export represen-
tatives in foreign fields. acting
much after the fashion Of foreign

dies half Of Canada's wheat crop.
It would act as an intermediary
between the farm board and the
