the central selling- agency to importera and buyers in different countries of the world for the agency has direct selling connections with all wheat importing countries and its own representatives in 61 ports of the world the funds which accrue from os are disbursed to the tnem- beru of the thrce pools this method handling wheat provides a large volume through one agency and re duces the cost of operation to a mini mum the wheat pool in western canada is a notable example of the advance ment made by the farmers of this age already it has shown the possibilities aim advantages of cooperative mar keting- the farmer in the canadian west who is a member of the wheat pool has realized that under the old ajstena he sold his wheat and took whatever the market offered in the pool system he delivers his grain when convenient and obtains tho average price of the selling period together with the saving in the handling costs tho pool price to every member s the price at fort william less hand ling charges and freight charges the latter of course vary according to the length of the haul with the development of canadas agricultural areas only onefifth of which are as yet under

the extent of the time of the judges is a matter of considerable un certainty these judges were war riors typical of their day and genera tlon and gideon the hero of our les son may wel represent them a very human hero gideon did not have the arm fahh of a moses joshua or a caleb he had to have repeated assurances of the help of god nevertheless ood made him his in strument in the deliverance of the chosen- people from destruction it is in the realization that god uses such comparatively feeble tools that you and i may find encouragement gideon is honored despite hla hesi tancy and lack of

contributes an article to the spectator of london in which he denies that prohibition b a failure in america there is enough evidence to dej celve the casual visitor to america into thinking that prohibition is a failure he says but the lawbreakers are probably not more than ten per cent of the total populaton- the re markable thing is that the prohibition law is respected as much as it is
