W! Swanyon: + 25 The. co-operative movement, after Rumerous flashes of success and many disheartening failures, onge more is coming td the front 48 a live Question in Canada. The pressure of the high cost of living has given the problem an 'interest to the man on the street, which he could not find in it hitherto. The Ontario in convention at Toronto in March last, seriously attacked the problem of co-operating in produc: ing and marketing their products. In this they are but following the successful policy of the United Far- mers of Alberta and the Grain Grow- {ers oi'the West. "In view of the great interest now being shown Jin the movement, I in- terviewed Mri A. C, Wieland, manag- er for Canada df the wholesale co. operative societies of England, Mr. Wieland has been connected with the English wholesale co-operative trade, as manager in New York and latterly in Montreal, for over twen- ty-five years: No man in this coun- try is better qualified than he there- fore to discuss the merits of the co- operative movement. 'How do you account, Mr, Wieland for the ill-success of co-operation in Canada?' I inquired. "Bécause in too many cases the co- operative venture hoc beén pro- perly organized. ¥ rprisingly few attempts have been made to forth the associations that have bben started into protective organizations, Their efforts have been: feeble compared With the so}id organizations of their competjtors--the ors; the jobbers and. the wholesalers Without. organi- zation and conferences for mutual help and advice co-operative associa- tions can not compete successfully with their rivals, There is no one to advise, to Strengthen, and to eneour- age the members of new societies. They start out, eo. often, with in+ sufficient capital dnd with managers of too little experience, "But more than that, there has been a lack of evidence. .of the true co-operative spirit, Canadians | are selfish and individualistic in their ac- tons. Virgin lands, easy money and wide open opportunities have made us independént in our hetions.. We dislike to surrender individuality to the will of the majority. "Our high standard of living has not forced us to acquire ;the penny saving habit so common among the Europeans. We would rather give profits to the merchant as his pay for the management of the retail business of Canada than bother: ours Selves with the intricacies of the mat- ter. Besides, we like variety im our food, dress and comforts and conven- lences, and do not like to tie oursel- ves down to one store or one society. "But these habits and prejudices are being broken down. Aside from the farmer's organizations we have some splendid societies which are-do- ing exceedingly well in Ontario, Que- bee, Nova Scotia, Saskatchewan and Alberta, To mention a few names we have such societies as the Guelph co-operative association, the Civil Service co-operative supply associa- tion of Ottawa, the Industrial co-op- erative society of Valleyfield, the Bri- tish-Canadian co-operative society of Sydney Mines and many others. In fact, it may be said that at least the movement is catehing the imagiation and minds of the Canadian people. "How do I account for the extra- ordinary success of the movement. in Hthe United Kingdom in particular and CANADIAN SERVIOR, From Southampton From Montreal June ¢ Juna 20 June 11 June 27 uly 2 Ausonia July 18 Steam call Plymouth thound.

Because Englishmen and other Europeans must, to a greater or less extent, practice economy: A quarter~ ly dividend of $5 would seem very small to the average Canadian or American workman, but it means, much across the water, especially at the quarterly period when rents must be paid. 'The English and Scotch are, in general, much keener than are our people, in studying economic and in< dustrial problems. The budget means something for them---cheaper or dearer. tea, coffee, tobacéo er beer. In Canada and the United States up to very recent times, the changes in fiscal legislation meant little or nos thing to the average man. clear conception of the value of say- ing even. small sums through assoc lation. \He has developed scores of trained leaders through his trades organizations. These leaders he group of men sigaified their willing- mittee. of management for a co-oper- ative retail store, the question would be at. once raised as to whether they were crooks or simpletons. "The extent of the co-operative movement may be measured by the statement that we have 2,000,000. members representing heads of fam- ilies, Estimating five members to each family, that will give us a to- connected directly or indirectly with the co-operative movement.

Within four years an annual trade of $1,500,000 was reached. The annual production amounts to 1.- 450 tens of tobacco, 2,750,000 cigars and 26,000,000 « gareites, provid- ing employment for 712 persons. "The co-operative movement big enough and broad is peration. 'It means much in dollars brotherhood. It is not merely sordid, materialistic enterprise, but within the movement are the germs higher, life, nobler purposes, ideals. It means mueh more than has yet been grasped; but, its purposes and understood.

Bishop Turner, during the recent Methodist conference in Atlanta, told a Stery about a missionary bishop a- mong the Eskimo. "This bishop," he said, "attended a synod, coming South by sledges and canoe, a six weeks' journey. He was welcomed joyous but, when be rose.to speak, he said his church had gone to the dogs. * 'Yes, my dear brothers," he went on, '1 had a church, a real church. last year, I had te build it to satisfy the zeal of my Eskimo converts, "*And what a church, L built There is no wood in my diocese, and 80 we used whales' ribe for rafters, and various hide for walls and roof.

Blackfeet Indians of Alberta Lead In Per Capita Riches. It will be rather starting to many to be told that a iribe of aborig 'al Indians, now resident in Canada, are ths wealthiest people in the Domin- fon, and that th:'r per capita wealth is only $3,000 less than that of the richest people in the world. The Blackfeet are all resident in Southern Alberta, living on the re- serves provided "or them at the time treaty was made with them many years ago. There are 'hree bands, Bloods, Blackfeet, and Peigans, a .d they are the least civilized of al' the It the last five years, however, competent Indi.n agents and farm instructors have in- duced the red men to till ground and occupy tHemsel- is with other indus- trial work, and the result has been that the wealth of the tribe has been considerably increased. A careful survey of the reports of the agents shows t at the total wealth of thc Blackfeet Indians, in- cluding an average yearly income, is $10,987,250. This divided among the 2.329 bueks, squaws, and papooses on the three rescrves means an aver- age of $4,675. It is well known that | squaws are not all-wed any share in { the earnings of the Indians, and that | the wealth is held by bucks over the {| age of 16 or 20 years. If the wealth | of the Blackfeet nation were divided among the males of over 20 years of age the per capita wealth of each would be $16,445. Indian families, as a rule, are large. Ten is not con- sidered many for a teepee. But if we should allow seven ta.a family and give the wealth of the family to the head of the house, he would be the possessor of some $32,725. Fortunately this great wealth is held in land, implements, fencing, buildings, live stock, ete., so that the Indian cannot &quander his ir.mens» wealth. The tribe has increased by four during the last year. The cnly rivals of the Blackfeet in the matter of wealth are the Osage Indians in Kansas. Their per capita wealth is $7,612, held in much the same way 28 the Blackfeet. The Gull"s Home. To view the Canadian lake gulls in their ideal breeding-grounds, one 1 should visit the Georgian Bay about the 'middle of May when the first egser are laid. Three go-to a nest: and the latter being the roughest, crudest little circle of matted twigs and grass hidden around the granite crevices, | Or among some . driftwood tangle shorewards. - If a patch of moss is there for padding, it is by the caprice of an over-luxurious parent-gull, looking forward to the second week In June when the first grey chick breaks its way through the shell, downy-feathered 'already: and able clumsily to walk, after a fashion even to swim. The parents, however, of necessity bring them food till well in August, about which time the unini- tiated are wont to think them two different species--the white and. the grey. If you are curious, you will stalk the young chicks to their nest; 80 confiding is their nature that they will even let you fondle them. Do one, or a flishing.eyed, scular fisherman may. stalk you. , Mover shoot. a grown gull on any pretext, or that lone fisherman may become a dozen. The laws pro- hibit the dumping of fish offal In our rivers and lakes; and the fishermen, after each night's "clean-up," deposit their leavings on any handy fiat rock close to their shanties.

There can be no question about tf --Iife in the Georgian navy' was Ane sufferably hard. fieid, "it was brutalizing, cruel aw borrible, the kind of life ndw ough for a criminal. There was b barous discipline, bad pay, bad food bad hours of work, bad company." Thies is putting the case strong! Sea it is exactly what it must haye seemed. How then did they get me to . enter the service? There several'ways in vogue. A captain on being appointed to a vessel, besid attending to her armament and equip- ping her for a voyage, bad also th a crew, He set about this by lishing a recruiting office ashore, generally at a sailors' tavern, amd placarding. the fact through the town and the surrounding country with the announcement that Blank, R.N., foreign waters." unlimited rum, prize money and the King's bounty. When the gullible one came to the bait -he was plied [generously with drink and flattery, the King's gold jingled before his staring eyes and befuddled brain, Jilled with stories of the joys of life in the King's navy loudly bawled in the sea ballads of the day. That these joys wefe not unknown is shown by the fact that the bounty was at one time above $350. When these gentle means failed to complete his number the captain sent a few boat loads of sturdy fel- lows ashore after dark in charge of an officer, This party or "press gang" proceeded to the resorts of merchant sailors and picked up any stragglers they found in the streets. In times of need no male beeen bgrhood and old age was safe, A Matter of Initials. An engineer who was repairing a railway line in South Africa found a cosy farmhouse, which Re proceeded to occupy. Promptly came a telegram which read: "G. T, M. wants house." The engineer wondered who "G. T. M." might be. On inquiry he found it referred to the general traffic man- ager "All right," he murmured. wired back: "G. T. M.can G. T. HL." Two days later there came a very | indignant and self-important gentle- | man. It was the general trafic man-| ager. In coldly polite tones he ask-| ed the engineer what he meant by| sending such an insolent message. The engineer said innocently: "Why, it wasn't thsolent." "What do you mean, then, by 'say- inglcanG.T. H.?" "Simply an abbreviation," explain- ed the engineer. "I wired that the G. T. M.--the general trafic- man- ager--can G. T. H.--get the house."
