committee of the organization.
The conference is scheduled for

farm organizations, farmer-labor CO.
operation, labor organizations, in the

COOP BUYING
DOUBLES in
Is YEARS

WASHINGTON.-C buy
ing among farmers has increased by
about 100 percent during the last Is
years, according to the story told by
the official United States Census fig
ures which record conditions as they
were at the close of 1899.
The census figures are not yet COM
pleted but those already compiled JUS
tify this assertion of cooperative de-
velopment and in as much as the re-
ports from the large cooperative
states are already recorded, the esti-
mate made here will not be changed
unless it will be to increase the per-
centage to more than 100 percent.
Minnesota farmers lead the country
in cooperative buying with 89,772
farmers reporting membership in con-
sumner cooperative organizations. In
Iowa, 60,320 farmers were in coop
erative buying groups; in Wisconsin,
53,913; in Ohio, 41,571; in Illinois,
1926.
Incidentally, the Census Bureau
asked farmers, for the first time
about their activities in mutual tele-
phone or mutual insurance organiza-
tions, or in various other forms of
mutual service companies. The re-
ports indicate there are nearly 1,000,-
900 farm families now purchasing CO.
operatively some kind of service from
these mutual" companies.

cost loan for the housing project.
New plans accompanied second APP
plication the following year. In the
spring of 1910, the commission finally
o.k.'d the project and the men started
construction. These modern up-to-
date houses, complete in all details,
are costing the Coop members 1920
per week for six and seven rooms.
The houses vary in size from % by
26 feet to % by 81 feet Each house
is built on an individual piece of prop
erty SO by 100 feet. Along one side
of the property is strip of land
which is to be used as a playground
for the children. Three and one-half
acres will be used as a cooperative
gardening project.
Members of the cooperative them
selves illustrate a cross section of
Nova Scotian life. The president of
the Coop is Donald Macdonald, man.

much transportation as he did 20
years ago. and his pay has shrunk
from 81 to about so cents for each
unit of transportation he produces.
That this is fact, and not theory,
is proved by comparing the actual fig
ures for railroad pay and production.
The latter is best measured by a
unit" called the "freight-ton-mile"-
one ton of freight carried one mile.
Check These Figures
This comparison shows that, for
each dollar in his pay envelope, the
average railroad employe increased
his production from Ill ton-miles in
1921 to 145 ton-miles in $780, to 178
in 1889, to 100 in 1910, and to 220 in
the first three months of 1941.
Thus production per railroad wage
dollar has almost exactly doubled in
the past 20 years. That amazing in
crease in efficiency would be only
partly compensated by the reasonable
wage increases which the rail work
ers are requesting.
Moreover, the proposed pay boosts
would scarcely compensate for the
cost-of-living rise which has already
taken place during the war and de-
Tense emergency, let alone the further
price rises which are bound to come.
The railroads say they cant afford
it," That excuse cannot stand expos
ure to the real figures on railroad
profits.
available" Profits
Rail profits are most accurately
measured by the amount of money
available for fixed charges" That
is, the money the carriers have left
to pay interest on bonds and divi
dends on stock, after paying all ex-
penses.
According to ELEPHANTS Earning
Power of Railroads." a standard fl
nancial authority, available" railroad
profits averaged more than $600,000,-
900 a year in the seven worst years
of the depression, 1880 to 1886, when
the railroads were claiming they were
"broke"
Their available" profits rose to
1924, 100000 in the year ended April
80, 1941, and will be more than a bill
lion dollars in the year 1871.

IT LOOKS LIKE A LAW

That kind of argument you are sure to hear again, but the pro- ponents of universal daylight say ing will hit an awful lick when they point out that Great Britain, Canada and the Axis powers now are operating on daylight saving not just through the summer-but all the year around and are plenty satisfied.
 It looks like Representative Me Lean, or Rep. Eugene J, Keogh D.-N. Y), who introduced the second bill, has got himself a law. There's little difference between them. Mir Keogh would change the clocks the last of April and run through October MT. Mclean would like to start a month earlier Both would like to catch up with the daylight saving now in exis- tence in all or part of 16 states

Ben Franklin was the first to point that out when he sheltered over the fact that people in France, England and the United States wasted money on candles when all they had to do was make use of the daylight that existed before they got up in the morning. Since it provided more sunlight, daylight saving was healthier There were other arguments. ~4 'e$
