considered the serious situation as again brought to our attention by the committee for the enforcement of the ontario temper ance act re acepmodation for the travelling public we feel that some

the address of mr r w burnaby president of the united farmers cooperative co to the local united farmers on saturday afternoon there was a fairly large attendance to hear mr burnaby as an example of the benefit of sticking together the speaker cited the case of the toronto milk produ cers assiciation in the west he stated the country was practically controlled by the farmers today canada was controlled by the big interests but the day must conie when the farmers would have resentatives in parliament he ijn boaowals 1mcu6 ntore stouffville he stated had been appointed by the big interests you stick by your party and cant see your own interests he exclaimed he said the food controller had set the price of wheat first of all because the far mers had no organization to protest now the price for cheese had been fixed at a price at which it could not be produced at a profit oleo margarine had been barred from on tario because of the dairymens as sociation an instance showing what organization would do as long as you allow yourselves to be led ar ound by the nose wewill never have our interests looked after he ex claimed the speaker dealt without glo ves with the munition makers who were guaranteed huge profits and had knighthoods thrown in while thjj farmers wore asked to produce more food without any guarantee of even a fair profit tho acuteness of the labor situation he ascribed to the munition factories where labor ers were flocking to secure wages as high as ten dollars a night mr burnaby thought the city man who worked eight hours a day much better off than tho farmer who spent eleven hours a day in toil reckon ing wages at twenty cents an hour he figured the farmer would be fortythree thousand dollars better ho criticized tac ontario govern ment which lie said encouraged lo cal farmers organizations but dis- couiitges a central organization be cause that would make them too powerful ho appoaled for support for tho farmers cooperative co and lamen ted tho fact that it had been unablo to fill orders for coal bran shorts and binder twine during the past few months but he asked tho far mers to stand by the company until better conditions arise he stated that the company would supply im plements and wos now prepared to handle cattle by tho car load last year a total business amounting to six million dollars had boon done on a capital of six thousand dollars mr burnaby answered a number of questions relating to the farmers cooperative co and made an appeal for subscriptions for stock in it the election of officers of tho local brannch of tho united farmers was to have taken place at this meeting but owing to a diffidence on the part of tho farmers in taking office that part of tho program was left over until tho next meeting mr welling ton stouffer was elected president and the vice presidents represent- special attention is called to tho annual statement of tho standard bank of canada which was submit ted to its shareholders at the 44th annual meeting held at the head office of the baiik in toronto on the 27th of february last particulars of which will be found in another part of thismsuc our banks are properly regarded as the barometers of trade and their annual statements may be accepted as a fairly accurate indication of the conditions of the commercial at mosphere the standard banks statement reflects very strikingly the great prosperity which the dominion is enjoying and it may be safely stated that at no period since con federation has such activity in busi ness and substantial financial growth been recorded this property is shown in the remarkable increase in the banks assets during the past twelve months amounting to over 14000000 and now totalling over 73000000 of this substantial

been made to the government the legitimate needs of merchants nianu facturers farmers and cattle raisers have also been liberally served the interests also of the shareholders have received due

standard hank of canada has been in exis tence now some fortyfive years no cush progress has been recorded and tho substantial growth of tho past twelve months must afford much gratification to the
