Germany Now thinks War Is dalarailous Gr CM' ���tk Oi Wheat Pool Movement of Western C.u:.ula In less than three years, have estab- :| co-oin-raiivo organization of its kind in the world. The Pool, with Us throe units in tho provinces of .Manitoba,' -Tim funni.Ys IMi.m! tlu- large; ���'���unadiun Wlioal Snskatdinwau and Alberta, now has a lotal membership of 125,000 farmers, who control .1^,230,000 ol the 21,000,000 acrer; sown to wheat last year ln ilireo pt'iiii-io provinces. It is handling the sale of the greater part of exports moro wheat tin the'wheal, production * of Canada, and Canada already t'.iaa any country in the world. .. . "* Tho first of ihe three wheat pools commenced * business in* the province cf Alberta in October, !923, and at tho close* of the first pool year ou July lo. 11)21, had handled 34.500.000 bushels ofcwheat shipped by Its members. ,, Meanwhile Manitoba, and Saskatchewan were organizing pools. In tho fall of I!)iM. they had perfected provincial organizations and the three, pro- vinciM iheu merged their, selling slrength into ono giant marketing organization, known as "Thy Canadian Co-operative Wheat Producers, Limited." Tills .���agency is incorporated under a Federal charter, with, very wide powers. Its . I unction ia to take, delivery of the wheat'from each of the respective pro- - v I acini pools aad io place it on the. markets of'the world in such a manner ii:. to' secure, a price coniineiisurate with the natural law of supply and demand. Each of tho throe porvlncial pools is responsible for. gathering the wheat' of its own members and plaelny it at the disposal of the central selling agency, which is controlled by a board ol' nine directors composed of.the president, vice-president and one director of each provincial pool. The largest proportion of tlie wheat is sold by "the selling agency to importers and buyers in different countries of the world, " for tho ageiicy'has direct selling connections with every, wheal, importing counlry and its own representatives in 51 ports of tlie world. The funds whicli accrue from the .'.ales aro disbursed to the members of the three "pools. This method of handling wheat provides a large volume through one agency and reduces the cost of operation to a -minimum. - .*' :7. ii is difficult, if-not impossible, to estimate in dollars and cents the victual increase in. the price of .wheat attributable to the "operations of the wheal pool, but the Pool, controlling as it does, over-50 per cent of Canada's exportable surplus,--has the opportunity of preventing large volumes' of wheat being rushed on to the market aiid creating a glut which���'inevitably forces prices dov/u. The strength of the Pool ���llos'in its stabilizing power and' - lu "its facilities for selling in great quantities'* ami in all countries. This vsat co-operative', organization of farmers grew out of tho experience of fixed prices for wheat, established by the,Canadian Government during tho war, regulated by an official body known as the Wheat Board. Immediately after the war the farmers of Weatorn Canada urged the Government to 'maintain the Wheat Board, but as it had been^brought into being and had functioned under a. War Measure'Act, the machinery for its-maintenance '.automatically passed out of existence.* with'the signing of the Peace Treaty. *~ The wheat producers oC4ho Gaundian West, learning that thc.,Wheat Board 'could not continue, began to realizes the necessity of an organization of their .own to handle the marketing'of- their wheat in a way that would prevent a too wide "fluctuation and secure a better stabilization of prices., ��� Through lho Pool the wheat is haudledi af cost aiul therefore, at a saving to the***fanner. The Central Selling Ageney with its .direct connections is able.to��elIminaf.e some of tlio handling charges between .producers and ���consum'er that' are incidental under any other .method of marketing. Moreover, the Pool - relieves 'the' farmer of the necessity of.: guessii'g lhe right time to sell'.his grain and assures him of the average prlce-for the year on all wheat it; sells. This orderly marketing avoids the disastrous effects of the ..'flooding of the market in" the fall which prevailed uuder^the old system. v ' ,' ��� Tho Wheat Pool in. Western Cariada is. a notable example of the advancement made by the farmci-s of this* stage. Already' It; has shown the possibilities and advantages of co-operative marketing.Tinder .the old.system the farmer sold.his wheat, and took; what the ���market offered. In the Pool system' he. delivers his grain when convenient and obtains the average price of the selling period, together with the saving-in the handling costs. Tlie Poor price to every member is tlie price at Port William,' le^s handling ���^eluiTges=an-d=f ['eighty lenglh of the haul.. . ��� y ��� ' * -.',;-. . With .the development of Canada's agricultural areas, only one-fifth of which arc as yet under cultivation, the. growth.of the Canadian Wheat Pool may reach a magnitude never before conceived in co-operative marketing. . International, Strife is Insanity on a Wholes-ale Scale It was the fashion, omy a few. years ago, to glorify war and to create in tho minds of young men an impression of its necessity. Germany was particularly eager to give its youth a strong martial spirt and to hold before them military ideals. If Stresemann speaks for his countrymen���and there is no reason to doubt that ho does���tho Germans havo had a complete change of heart. The appalling sacrifices of tho war havte taught them, as they havo taught other nations, that war ls not glorious, but always calamitous. International warfare is insanity on the wholesale scale. It ls of course, natural and right that young men should go co the'defnse of their country when It is threatened; it is noble to lay down one's life in a just patriotic cause. But if wars can be prevented.as they can, if-the proper state* of mind is cultivated, il is tho duty of. every young person to help the movement along. , IEUMAT1C SUFI Farm'Settlers From U.S. Active 'movettierii.'.of .farm settlers from the United States fo Canada���'continues,', according, to the department of immigration and colonization.

In the days of our -grandfathers rheum'atism was tli'ought to be lho tin- avoidable penalty of middle life and old age. Almost every elderly person had rheumatism, as well as many young people. It was thought that rheumatism was duo to exposure to cold aud dampness, and it was treated with liniments and hot applications which sometimes- gave temporary relief but did not remove the trouble. In those days there were many rheu-- matio cripples. Now medical science understands that rheumatism is a disease of the blood arid that with good' red blood any mau or womau of any age can defy rheumatism. There are now many elderly people who have never felt a twinge ofjiieumafism, because they have kept tlifelr blood in good condition, and there aro many who have conquered it by building up their weak, .watery: blood. The blood- enriching'qualities .of Dr. Williams' Pink Pills is becoming _ every year more'widely'known', and thcvlnoro general use of these pills has robbed rheumatism of its terrors. At the first sign,of thin, Impure blood protect yourself against Ihe ravages- of disease by. taking Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.-;.
