It in the light of those facts the Government considers that conscription is essential to the welfare of the country, then we should have conscription enacted and enforced without recourse to a refer- endum or an election. Had this course been pursued, there would have been trouble and opposi- tion, but it is highly improbable that there would have been the bitterness that is almost inevitable in a political campaign such as the one that faces us now.

Arrangements will be made with the United Farmer's Co-operative Company Limited, of Toronto, the 'Trading Company of the United Farmers of Ontario, to secure their valuable assistance and co-operation with a view to greater development as necessity arises. The preliminary expenses, incidental to the formation of the Company, obtaing Charter, Legal fees, Stationery, five per cent. commission for procuring sub- scriptions, etc., etc, is estimated not to ¢xced Twenty-five Hundred Dollars. The pricary object of the Company 1s to render better service and better prices to farmers and stockholders in supply of Feed, Flour, Lumber, Shingles, Cement, and other commodities as may hereafter be needed and in demand by the farmers of the district. 1t is considered that great saving will accrue to stockholders in the operation of the plant under the supervision of men long connected and favorably known, some of whom have signified their intention to take shares themselues. The estimated earnings of the Company based on past business will be sufficient to pay substantial dividends on paid up capital.

The vendor of the property is Mr. A. Q. C. O'Brien of Toronto,whe holds the option from the Carnegie Milling Company. The purchase of the property has been under contemplation for some time, and has been carefully investigated before deciding to 1ncor- porate «the Company. At the organization meeting, leading farmers decided that they had. heretofore supported the industry, and had been instrumental in making its success, it would be well to acdire it. rather than it should fall into the hands of a private company' and secure to themselves this established and profitable concern; bind- a ing together the interests of business men of the Village, the Farmers, and the large buying capacity of the United Farmers' Organization of Ontarie. : : 3 Mr. J.
