identified with the movement with a view to enabling those with farm produce to dispose of it v best advantage the saskatchewan provincial de partment or agriculture has estahjjsjied a coopera tivc exchange tho idea is that covopcrative associa tions in the province where there is a surplus of po tatoes and liko produce should ship to districts within the province where there is a scarcity through lack of information at present farmers with produce tj sell frequently export it from tho province in ignor ance of the fact that better prices could be obtained from other saskatchewan districts the exchange plans to bring the buyers and sellers together and act as b clearing bouse the outstanding lesson of the ontariolclcction is that tho citizens of the province are in dead earnest upon the temperance question the people arc in no mood to stand trifling or evasion in regard to this paramount issue but want men who will stand straight clcur and definite for the cnactmcnt en forcemeni of prohibitory legislation temperance people have been criticised for not supporting tin hearst government who gave them prohibition the general feeling was that it was sir william hearst more than his government who deserved the credit for the measure and there were certain members of the cabinet who while unwillingly acquiescing in the passage of the ontario temperance act were dis tinctly unfriendly to the temperance cause this wns a handicap the leader of the opposition refused to declare himself upon the issue and was generally sup posed to be more in sympathy wijh the liquor inter ests than with the temperance reform on the other hand the united farmers organization came out flatfooted and strong for prohibition to tho limit of provincial powers no one had any doubt as where that organization stood and tho candidates were mainly men whom the people trusted if there is one lesson more clear than any other in the result of tho ontario election it is u strong warning
