Arthurs, bicycle riders, are artists of high order, making that little vehicle of torture a thing to be looked upon with respect.Layman and Chaulsaye are dancers of the highest rank, their avolutious, full of beauty and grace, appealing to the artistic sense of the present-day dancers.They give an entirely new interpretation of the \u201ccake walk,\u201d \u201chesitation,\u201d and \"whirlwind\u201d one step.The Four Victors, men of steel and rubber, are rightly named, and while not a novelty act, it is one that fills the audience with admiration for its evidence of physical strength and skill.Delora, contortionist, is a clever artist of her type, her movements causing the \u201ccreepy creeps\u201d and impressing one with the truth of the saying that we are fearfully and wonderfully made.Prof, and Mme.Farley are com- Men on Elevated and Surface Railways Threaten To Go Out.UNLESS COMPANY GRANTS DEMANDS OF EMPLOYERS LEADERS SAY THERE WILL BE STRIKE.New York,

company j and representatives of the Amalga-' mated Association of Street and Electric Railway Employees met this morning to consider the demands of the union that the company\u2019s annual contracts signed by the employees several days ago when a strike first threatened, but President Shonts\u2019 an-I nouncement late last night that the ( company would not grant the union\u2019s demand, indicated that to-day\u2019s meeting would fail to bring peace.Labor leaders asserted to-day that ( they would stick to their demands j and predicted that a strike would he called within twenty-four hours if the company refused to make, concessions.The contract which the employees\u2019 union wishes to have annulled binds the employees not to ask for advances in pay and improvement in work, ing

a great compliment to the energy and enterprise of the directors in their achievements in bringing the Fair to such a good position.Those exhibitions not only ten ded towards increased production, but were valuable from a moral ami artistic point of view, and in promoting good fellowship among the people throughout the Townships.He, heartily congratulated them on their success.Sir George dealt at some length with the war, saying the enemy was still strong and the end was likely to be some time yet, hut the Allies had bow more guns and men than the enemy, and had taken the initiative.The maximum effort must be kept up In order to obtain victory.He remarked on the moral effect Rouman la\u2019s entry in the war would have,and praised the Canadian soldiers for represented.Three bands will be In attendance each day, and with the knowledge that hundreds of our bandsmen have gone overseas, this part of the fair\u2019s programme should ; be greatly appreciated by visitors to i the grounds.THE AUSTRALIAN WOOD CHOPPERS.Something entirely new and an act that appeals to the best in us is that of the Australian Wood Choppers, ( Harry Jackson and Peter MacLaren, born in that country famous for its I strong men in both body and character, are perfect, types of strength, an4 their exhibition of sawing through a log GO inches in circumference and I their contest in felling a tree of

Commissioner on the motion of Mr.Crepeau, secionded by Dr.Cleveland.THE ATTRACTIONS.The fine programme of sports and races arranged for Labor Day was necessarily cancelled on account of the rain, hut the grand stand attractions were put on and made a good afternoon\u2019s entertainment.This promises to he one of the best specialty performance for which, our annual fair is famous.The entire programme has been chosen from artists wh'o have been appearing at the New York Hippodrome, and includes wonderful feats of strength and skill, aerial novelties, comedy dancing, etc.The Emily Bisters give nn exhibition of trapeze work full of grace and skill.The Tasel Bros., Japanese equilibrists, in their native gliding movements which1 are nevertheless full of strength, perform wonderful feats of pole balancing and ladder work.The trapeze act by the I,each Wallin Trio is a combination of beaut\u201d, grace and skill, showing that, \"not to ir.an alone is given strength.\u201d These artists perform wonderful feats while suspended by ropes held by the teeth, and though not a new device in always fascinating.Hobson and Nicol are comedians with the reputation of \u201chaving made a million

morning in the main building, but an appeal to the authorities soon set matters straight.Visitors! should take note that those little red ribbons are not for any patriotic purposes.Yesterday was \u201cMoving Day in Jungle Town,\u201d and nearly all night, too.Levitt &.Taxur\u2019s mammoth animal show held \u201cright of way\u201d from the Aylmer Bridge to the Exhibition gates fnr a time last

to watch their hard Pull.One car broke through a sewer pipe (that means more digging np), and In passing into the grounds the gates were badly damaged by the high cars.From appearances it is quite the largest show of Its kind that has visited the city.Mayor Sylvestre attended the Exhibition yesterday and paid a special visit to the poultry department, expressing his ptcasniÿ at.the fine birds shown.The Dairy exhibits this year are very heavy ami of excellent quality.The premiums given by the Canadian Bank o[ Commerce ($2501 have acted ( as a stimulant.The silver medal given by Messrs.|

the neighborhood of Guillemont, says the British official statement issued this afternoon.The British forces pushed forward to 1500 yards west of Oirille-mont village and secured a hold on Leuze woad.Further south a strong German system of defence on a front of 300 feet around Falfemont farm was captured.The text of the official statement follows : \u201cDuring the night we increased our gains in the neighborhood of Guille-mobt.In spite of the enemy's stubborn resistance and an unceasing deluge or rain our troops pushed forward to 1500 yards east of Guillemont village and have obtained a foating in Leuze wood.Further south, after fighting, the whole of the enemy\u2019s strong system of defence on a front of 1000 yards in and around Falfemont has fallen into our hands.The

fWikiHW» Sir George H.Perley Addressed Representative Meeting of Business Men MANY PROBLEMS HAD TO BE SOLVED IN WHICH CANADA WAS VITALLY INTERESTED Sir George H.Perley, High Commissioner for Canada, in London, addressed the business men of Sherbrooke, at a meeting held under the auspices of thff Board of Trade In the Directors\u2019 lining Hall, on the Exhibition grounds yesterday afternoon on \u201cConditions after the War.\u201d Mr.W.Morris] K.C., president of (the Exhibition land Mr.D.J.Steele, i were joint chairmen.There was a ! crowded attendance.Sir George explained at the outset that he an4 Lady Perley were in England wheii war was declared, without any intention of staying there any length of time, but the abnormal conditions brought about by the war had caused many questions to be raised which needed discussion with the British government, and as Lord Strathcona had unfortunately Passed away a short time previously, he had been performing the duties of High Commissioner in London as a member of the Canadian government at the request of] the Prime Minister.They had had an tintereeting and htlsy time in the hear| of the Empire and it was a pleasurejto be back amongst their Sherbrooke Ifriends once more.\u201cWe are living 8n difficult but most interesting times.We are in the midst of the greatest war that history has ever seeh\u2014greater than our forefathers could '\u2019possibly have ima gined.As the struggle of life tries out a man\u2019s soul and shows what stuff he is made of, so this war, this struggle for existence, is trying out the soul of this country and of every part of the Empire.We were forced into this war against our will.We were a peaceful people without any thought of aggression against any one, only asking to be allowed to develop our vast area in our own way and as believers in democratic institutions we live under the system of government we want.We are j subject to no autocrat, thank God, in these Anglo SaJk'i countries of which Canada is one of the foremost.We know that this system is best for us in peace times and now it ( is our duty to show that we who en-I joy these blessings, handed down tins should be able to protect our-j selves in war (cheers).This we are , doing and every part of this great Empire has bravely done it so far.We know this is welding the Empire ! closer together.Can It be otherwise when our boys are fighting in France alongside men from every other part of the Empire as well as the British Isles and are lying wounded in the same hospitals in France and England ?Our ties hitherto have been largely those of sentiment, this Canada of ours has grown up from a small and weak country until todn\u2019 we are nowe-f\u201d1 -rs '\t- jn our own hands entire authority ovr-own dtscinits ,,u\u201e\teverything that occurs within our own borders.This war is bringing us closer together and we feel that through it we shall enjoy closer relations with the mother country.We have our an-tonomy, our own self government of which we are proud, and which we will never give up, but we hope that some way will he found in which we shall have a voice in matters of common interest to the whole Empire, such as foreign relations in peace and war.We don\u2019t know exactly how this will he done, I have no cut and dried plan to suggest, but I do believe that out of the welter of this terrible war, out of our great loss of blood and treasure that some way will surely come to enable us to see how we can perpetuate this Empire of ours.\u201d EMPIRE MORE SELF-CONTAINED.Sir George proceeded that \u2018he believed on© outcome of the war would be that the Empire would become more self-contained.One reason whv Germany had been such a powerful foe was because she produced near all she required.His opinion was that the British Empire should make itself as self-contained as possible, and keep control of its own natural products and manufacture and refine them.This war had shown Britain the danger of allowing any of her necessary supplies to be in the hands of the enemy.The control of so many British industries by Germany had caused a great difficulty during the war,\u2014such a small thing as dyes for instance, which were made in Germany, although the method of manufacture was invented in Britain.Another thing was spelter, which came from Australia and concerning which Mr.Hughes had taken vigorous action.The products of the countries should he manufactured and refined in those countries so that they would have control of those great industries in peace and war.BOARD OE TRADE WORK\t\\FC\u2019RE- CTA TED The speaker mentioned that some Canadian business men who had gone over to England had already noticed a difference in the direction of closer trade relations, they were, received in a much more friendly spirit than before the war and found it easier to sell goods.Sir George acknowledged the useful and excellent work of the Sherbrooke and Associated Boards of Trade.He congratulated those live (.CullUnucd on pa^e 7 j FRENCH TAKE STRONG POSITIONS ON SOMME FRONT; 29 VILLAGES CAPTURED GREECE READY TO END NEUTRALITY Premier Zaimis Now in To

hope it goes through O.K, The cloth is \u2018\u2018Bosche\u201d overcoat, and their paper sand bags.The pouch is part of their equipment.Yes, Jack Dempsey was wounded within 20 feet of me.Just a bullet in the shoulder.He would be O.K.if he didn\u2019t pick up anything worse on the way out.I must get the address of his people In Ireland and write him through them.The Belford boys are here\u2014all fn the same regiment.I have not had a chance to look them up yet.I saw Waterman a few days ago and he had been to see them.Frank has been slightly wounded.Whatever happend you must be careful not to overdo the work part, as It would never do for you people to get sick.I do hope you are not having too much trouble with the haying.August 3.You will wonder why my letters ion\u2019t come, I fear.The truth Is that I have been plain lazy the past week.We have been out and having a pretty comfortable time in spite of the marches and parades.The weather has been about, the hottest I Dngotrt B 88, August 8.We had several inspections the last time out.They are always rather trying and do not tend to improve one\u2019s temper.We expect a very big one when we go out again.The papers will probably tell you whom.I wonder if you know that wt have Ool.Felly, D.S.O., hack in command now.He is one of the original officers.I think we are very fortunate ¦n having a succession of such splen->rl men to», command us.dp working parties most of the - at present.Of course they are the most pleasant part of sol-i ring, but it\u2019is all in the game.We have found to our sorrow that the rule here is\u2014man roust dig to live.If you could hear the way the shells go over you would understand that there is no danger of ever having too many of them.August 12.\"Everything quiet on (our bit of) the western front,\u2019\u2019 as the officials say, and nowadays that means nothing hut the usual artillery activity.That is one way we do have it on the artillery boys.Small mention is made of anything they do so long as we don\u2019t do anything except stick to it.Things were somewhat lively this morning, but did not amount to much as far as we are concerned.One '-thing certain, Fritz doesn\u2019t have everything his own way as he used to.When he starts anything now our guns always come back at bin* in great style.If your August weather has been as good as ours you will be finished haying in spite of difficulties.I can imagine you are still putting in long hours.Isn\u2019t it a shame that I along with so many others, should be spending rather than producing, but if in the end we can produce, a \u2019 lasting peace I suppose it will be well worth it all.The happenings in northern France have made us long more than ever, to get through and sut it all free once more.If We only get a continued increase in the flow of guns and shells that day may not be so far distant.Very much love to you all William, 23283.\t\u2019 Wli GIVE wind and weather a chance to get beneath the ahingleaofyour home, and you are in for no end of trouble and expense\u2014war ping, rotting, loosening shingles \u2014 leaking roofs an a end lesfi re pair.Pedlar's \"Oshawa\u201d Shingles give you the permanence of a single \u2018sheet of metal with the beauty of separate shingles.Lock tight jon all four sides\u2014wind proof, rainproof, rustproof\u2014not even the nails are visible.There's safety and permanence in a Pedlorizod roof.The coat is small.Write now for \u201cThe Right Roof\" Booklet q THE PEDI.AR PEOPLE LIMITED ___ (Established 1861) Nazareth 8t., Montreal, Qua.Executive Office and Factories : OSHAWA.ONT.Before You Oecida On Liquor or Drug Treatment Consider carefully Into whose hands you place yourself.Serious Investigation by physicians and prospective patients invariably results In selectins the KEWLBY \u2014 the Original.Scientific.Rational Treatment.Briefly, here's why ;\t38 years\u2019 success, skilled physicians, kindly treatment.natural health building, reasonable charges.no restraint,, no drastic methods, no publicity.We treat both men and women.No nausea or bad after-effects\u2014we do not use Hyoeotne, emetics or \"knockouts.'\u2019 Established 38 years.Interesting booklet mailed in plain, sealed wrapper.Write today.Keeley Institute 523 Cumberland Ave.Coi».Mellen St.\tTel.5470 PORTLAND.ME.Ideal Location.Table aeeom- a ndatlon unsurpassed.TWICE WOUNDED, SOLDIER WRITES OF beautiful, french COUNTRY.Granby, Sept.4 (Special)\u2014The fol-owing letter was recently received by Mr.and Mrs.M.E.Bowker of Granby from their youngest son Leighton who has been on active ser vice for over a year.He enlisted in the west and was once before slightly wounded.Somewhere in France.\t_\t\u201e x\tAug.12, 1916.My dear Father and Mother : Just a few lines to let you know that I am alive and happy.One week ago to-day I received a slight ] wou»d over my left eye, caused by a little splinter from a 4.1.H.E.shell1 (Hun, of Course.) I didn\u2019t want to I go to hospital, so I took a week\u2019s jrest at our wagon lines and attended a dressing station twice each day.! After the medical officers lanced, probed etc., several times, they finally drew out the splinter yesterday, and now I\u2019m feeling fine, with no more pains of aches.If you should see mry name in

wind-mills on top, them in the little valleys there are several small1 hamlets, each one with a church, the spire of which is higher than anything else there.Between here and those hamlets, and beyond

ensure.The war would bring many problems that required solution.The countries devastated by war would have to be | reconstructed, there would be great demands for all kinds of construction* and building- materials and there was every reason why Canada should get some benefit in that way.The war had put Europe into two camps\u2014the Alhes held a conference in Paris recently to discuss what should |»e done in trade matters after the war and undoubtedly Canada and the other countries fighting with them would be given a chance of supplying necessary reconstruction materials.What plan Britain would adopt was not exactly known but a commission had been appointed and was sitting now for the purpose of discussing the whole fiscal question and deciding on the best plan for the British Isles, and a promise had been made for a meeting of representatives from the Dominion to discuss the whole Empire 1 situation.REOON6TRUOTION WORK IN EUROPE The Boards of Trade of Sherbrooke and throughout Canada had to consider if it was worthwhile to get a large part of that business which would have to do with the Allied countries particularly in reference to reconstruction.The government would do everything to assist hut the best suggestions of getting trade or business always came from the firms engaged in manufacturing the various materials.Here Sir.George referred to the invitation issued by Sir George Foster for delegates throughout the Dominion to attend a \u201cCall to action\u2019\u2019 conference in Ottawa.His object was to get the help and advice of the best business men of the Dominion in regard to the best manner of handling trade matters after the war and bringing Canada back to its normal condition.RETURNED SOLDIER QUESTION.Dealing with the returned soldier question, Sir George said a lot of men would be coming back to Canada\u2014some were coming now wovrad-j ed and disabled and our first care j was of course for them.They had fought Canada\u2019s battles, had pro-j tected our homes and children and all must consider it their duty to see that these men were not only well treated but also found gome occupation to earn a livelihood as soon as possible, because although the Dominion granted a pension to disabled soldiers they would be happier \u2018and better men in some suitable occupation and all the workmen possible were required here.Canada needed population to develop her vast resources and those soldiers who returned strong and well would not care to resume their ordinary occupations, but even the others would be able to do a great deal towards increased production.Another method of giving occupation to returned soldiers which appealed to him very strongly and which be knew found favor in this part of Canada was to place them on farms.He knew the Boards of Trade had made great efforts In the direction of immigration to this part of Canada.After the war he believed there would be a long stream of immigrants to the Dominion, The army of England was composed of citizen soldiers just 1 as our own, many had come from the cities, stores, shops and offices and after living in the open for so long many of these men would, not bt willing to return to sedentary occupations, and Sir George knew of r part of Canada which ought to get a larger proportion of British sol diers in this way than the Eastern Townships\u2014called the \"Garden of Canada.\u2019 This was the most lovely portion of Canada,\u2014mixed farmin' always the most satisfactory in the I end,\u2014and the district he thought, would appeal to people from the old country more than any other because of its resemblance to England.\u201cI have been over the Experimental Farm today.I congratulate you on having such an excellent location for it, and on returning this afternoon I could not help thinking one would hardly know he was not looking on one of the most beautiful English scenes with its woods, hills and rivers, and this part of Canada will, I am sure, appeal greatly to men from the British force who make up their minds to emigrate after the war and get into some outdoor occupation.Not only that, but you have in the Eastern Townships many factories, offering opportunities to the young people as they grow up to find plenty of work, and I believe when the war Is over you will find it easier than in the past to attract the men you want.\u201d PROBLEM OF MUNITION WORKERS.Another problem that would have to be faced was that some day the war would end\u2014all hoped it would he soon, although it would probably go on for a long time yet\u2014and then the manufacture of munitions of which Canada made nearly a million dollars\u2019 worth a day would cease.(Sherbrooke was doing her part well in turning out shells).When the shell making ceased the munition workers would have to go back to their ordinary occupations.That was another reason for Sir George Foster\u2019s \u201ccall to action,\u201d in order to arrive at some concrete plan of meeting those conditions and restoring the country to its normal state.The speaker was glad to know that the Sherbrooke Board of Trade had received the idea with enthusiasm and intended sending six well qualified men to Ottawa to serve on the committee ; he was sure some wise counsel would emanate from the convention.CONDITIONS IN ENGLAND.The latter part of

funeral of Mrs.Albert Ingold, who died at her home on Manuel Avenue, as before noted in the Record, took place on Sunday at 1.30 at the house, at 2.30 at Grace Church, Rev.Herbert Charters, officiating, Mrs.In-goid had been in failing health for some three years.She was horn in England and came to Canada some ten years ago.For near five years her husband has been employed at Famham in the Maintenance of Way department, the family living for a part of that time in Sutton, Mr.Ingold coming home every night.The hearers at the funeral were Messrs.H.C.Reid, Clifford Chamberlain, James Flanagan, sr., Clair Brown, Nicholas McClarty and B.J.Lee.There was a very large offering of ; flowers, the casket being literally covered with beautiful floral emblems one fine pillar coming from Famham.Deceased leaves besides her husband, two children, a girl of seven years i and a boy of three.Mr.Ingold has 1 much sympathy in his great loss,and ¦for the two little ones left motherless.Mr.and Mrs.Clair Brown, of Farnham, were among those at the funeral, at which there was a verv ) large turnout of friends.DEATH OF MRS.BRIGGS LONGE-WAY.Mrs.Briggs Lougeway, for some years a resident of this village, died in a Montreal hopnital on Saturday morning after an illness of several weeks, caused, it is said, by a fall downstairs some months ago.Mrs.Longeway was 83 years of age, and idle was formerly for many years a well-known resident of Dunham.For some two years she had rented her house in this village and lived in Montreal to be with her daughter Katie, who is a well-known teacher and who went to that city to teach Quebec Offers Splendid Opportunities For Co-Operation in This Line.Quebec offers splendid opportunities for the co-operative marketing of live stock, yet practically no steps have been taken to organize for this purpose.Dairy farmers, as well as those who cater to mixed farming, are not usually in a position to market any class of stock in carload lots as only a few head are offered for gale at one time.Failure of farmers to co-operate in local selling left the field open to the buyer who has been able to operate successfully with a margin of profit that is often exorbitant.This is particularly true with regard to stock of choice qual- Shorbrooke Vulcanizing Works Auto Tire and Tube Repairing a specialty.W1VI.A.HAFMVfER, Prop.Pbone 668.\t202 B Wellington

would fireworks.\u2019\u2019 The British people thought of nothing else than winning tbe war ; it ) took them some time to realize the 1 situation, but now the British bull dog understood it he would not let go until a conclusive victory had I been won.Sir George told of visits 1 he had made to the front and spoke ' of the improved state in the tren-! ches last winter, wondering how un-| der former conditions and with the shortage of men the British lines j were not broken through.He praised the bravery, cheerfulness and 1 stoicism of the British and Colonial troops, and also the good food, i clothing and excellent medical and j nursing arrangements on the field ! and in the French and English hos-( pitals.\u201cYou never hear any grouching or grumbling, the boys at the front forget all their troubles, they are fighting to beat the Germans and they are doing it well, and when they get into the hospitals they are still cheerful with the object of getting back to the front.\u201d ' HEROISM OF WOMEN OF EMPIRE In his closing remarks Sir George ! paid an eloquent tribute to the no-I bllity and heroism of the women of the Empire and the ability of the ! British women in filling men\u2019s posi-| tions.The war bad shown that tbe British was not a decadent race, the crisis had been reached and the Initiative was now with them.The i spirit of sacrifice, confidence and determination would continue to animate the Empire until victory came.The address was well received and heartily applauded.A hearty vote of thanks was accorded the speaker on the motion of Mr.E.W.Farwell, seconded by Mr.D.J.Steele, and three cheers were given for Sir George and Lady Per-ley.Sir George In replying wished the Exhibition and Boards of Trade every success.Both were doing splendid work in the Eastern Townships.some two or three years ago.The funeral took place at Dunham on Monday.Rev.H.Charters, of Sutton, officiated.ODD FELLOWS ATTEND CHURCH.The Odd Fellows marched to the Methodist Church on Sunday, August 27, where Rev.James Plertts conducted memorial services, but on account of the rain the wreaths of flowers were not placed on the graves of the departed brothers till the following Monday.TEACHERS TAKE UP DUTIES.Among the Sutton teachers leaving for their work in Montreal on Monday were Miss Beatrice McClarty, Mies Gertrude Olmstead, Miss Jessie Niblock.NOTES.; Miss Nellie Tupper and Miss Mabe\u2019 ; Wallace, after vacation at their homes here.Miss Bertha Bickford went Sunday to Brome Centre to spend a time with friends; Miss Albea Vieu left on Monday for West Shefford, where she teaches school; Mr.and Mrs.Amedee Larondeau and son returned to Magog on Monday, guests here at Mr.A.D.Dupuis;\u2019 Mr.0.Houston, of Drummondville, on Monday from a visit to friends here; Miss Mamie Holmes, oi Huntingdon, guest over the week-end of her mother, Mrs.F.L.Holmes; Mr.Geo.H.Westover and family to North Troy, Vt., on Monday, going to Jay, Vt., to reside; Mrs.John Wilkinson left for Buffalo, N.Y., on Friday after a visit at Mrs.Wm.Wilkinson\u2019s here; Mrs.Salome Courser to Glen Sutton on Saturday, where she will spend the present fall with her daughter-in-law, Mrs.C.R.Courser, who is in poor health.The annual S.S.picnic of Grace Church took place at Selby Lake on Friday, a good number going out, and a pleasant day being spent by all present.Mr.Alfred Perras was in Waterloo on Friday, and Mr.Frank Jeune, jr., in Montreal on Thursday.Pte.Wm.G.Stanistreet and Pte.Wm.Guertin, both of the 148th Battalion, returned to Valcartier on Sunday.Pte.E.0.Dyer and Pte.Wm.Dow, both of the same Battalion, will return early the present week.The boys are all looking fine And speak highly of their life In camp, and all expressed pleasure that they had joined an overseas battalion that would enable them to do their bit in the cause of freedom.Mr.Chas.Hawk, of Ayer\u2019s Cliff, but for a long time in the Canadian Bank of Commerce.Sutton, spent Sunday a guest at Mrs.F.L.Holmes\u2019 here.Mr.Hawk leaves the present week for Winnipeg, where he has a good position.Mr.J.D.Clark, who has been a great sufferer from blood poisoning in one hand, was enabled several days ago to leave the Royal Victoria Hospital, and has gone to his cot-tage on Brome Lake for a few weeks.All will be pleased to hear of Mr.Clark\u2019s recovery.Notary C.U.R.Tartre has sold out his Cowansville Branch, notarial business, and will hereafter devote his whole time to his business In Sutton.ity, inferior grades, and small stock such as lambs, calves and pigs.ADVANTAGES OF CO-OPERATIVE MARKETING.Co-operative marketing insures a greater net return to the fanner.He always receives full market value minus cost of marketing.Profit is the objective of the local buyer.In order to protect himself during abnormal market conditions when prices have a downward tendency, he leaves a wider margin between the purchasing price and market conditions.By co-operative marketing farmers come more directly in touch with prices and conditions on the Central markets and are In a better position to breed and finish their stock to best advantage.Through an association farmers are usually able to market their stock when it is ready.Moreover an assoclatian on account of the volume of its business receives greater consideration at the hands of market officials and others.HOW TO ORGANIZE.Oo-operative marketing may be undertaken as an additional feature of one or more associations already organized, or a separate association may be formed for this purpose.The necessary officers should be appointed and a proper constitution and bylaws drafted.The appointment of a business manager is practically essential where any considerable am-| ount of shipping is being done.Great i care should be taken in the selection j of this man as the success of the as-[sociation rests largely with him.He should he honest and capable, with a ! sound knowledge of business methods and principles and, if possible, having some previous knowledge of marketing and shipping live stock.OPERATION OF ASSOCIATIONS.Associations organized for co-oper-atfve shipping should be operated on purely co-operative principles, all fees being based on the amount of business transacted through the association.In qelling two methods are open to associations.They may advertise for bids and sell direct to the packing houses for cash F.O.B.at shipping points, or the stock may be consigned to a commission man and sold on the central market.The first method where feasible has advantages over the second, as it brings the , central buyer more directly in touch with the farmer.It relieves the association of further responsibility once the stock is loaded on board cars.It saves commission for selling, yard expenses and feed hills and i permits of making quicker returns to the farmer, Where stock is consigned to a commission man individual contributions must be carefully marked.A uniform system of marking should be adopted.Roman numerals clipped in some conspicuous part of the body have been found most suitable for cattle, while branding fluid is recom-mended for sheep and paint marks for hogs.Upon receipt of the account of sales and remittance the manager should prorate shrinkage, expenses and proceeds among individual shippers.Each shipment should be given a number which should be inserted on check and statement to avoid chance of error.RESULTS OF EXISTING ORGANIZATIONS.Five hundred shipping associations are now operating in the United States.One association in Minnesota claims a saving of $6,221.15 for its members during 1914 and $25,1.55 , since its organization.Another asso- j elation claims a saving of $2.25 a j cwt.on veal while still another ef-1 fects a saving of 65c a cwt.on hogs and 70c to 75c a cwt.on cattle and sheep.The movement is still in its infancy in Canada where much of the ! work undertaken has had to do with 1 the shipping of lambs.Lambs shipped through associations in Prince Edward Island, Ontario and elsewhere have netted members from 50c to $1 a cwt.more.In addition to providing an appreciable saving to thfe members and diverting the profits of the drover to ] the farmer\u2019s pocket, co-operative marketing gives the farmer a much broader vision of market prices and selling.Not only has he an opportunity of following his own stock to the central market and analysing the Î returns received therefrom, but in addition he has an opportunity of studying the returns for each shipment made by the association.The local buyer wishing to make as much i profit as possible out of the farmers j endeavors to keep them Ignorant of market prices.Where shipping asso-; dations have been operating for a j number of years it is claimed that farmers have Improved the quality of their stock and owing to a better knowledge and closer study of markets, feeding and finishing have, heetf so adlnsted that sales can be made when the markets are strongest for the various classes of stock offered.Co-operattvo shipping has much to commend it and would undoubtedly result in larger returns to farmers in many sections of Quebec.A.A.MACMILLAN.TOMMY ATKINS IN RUSSIA.Officers and men of the Britirtl unit in Russia hgve had conferred upon them by the Tsar the Order and | Medal of St.Ann for \u201cMeritorious work.\u201d This unit consists of a large I number of powerful armoured cars and a complete equipment with hun-!

London, England, September 5.\u2014 Many Canadian officers were interested spectators of the Zeppelin raid on | London on Sunday night.For some | of the officers who had but recently arrived in England and were on leave ' of absence from the camps it was j their first sight of active warfare.Captain J.E.Smith, of the Sher-j brooke Record, and Lieut.Johnson, of Magog, witnessed the bombardment of the Zeppelins from the roof of the seven-storey Hotel Piccadilly.When it fell they at once took a taxi and, under the impression prevalent everywhere that it had fallen in North London, they drove on a dozen miles and saw the wreck.Another group of Canadian officers who were watching from the roof of the Strand Hotel reached the wreck when only a few special constables were on the site apd saw all they wanted and picked up all the souvenirs they desired.Men at the Maple Leaf Club in Hiydp Park made a dash on foot for the scene of the wreck, but the most of them dropped out before the site was reached.BOYS\u2019 SCHOOL CLOTHES Keep the boy well dressed and do not injure his pride by compelling him to wear poor school clothes.We are showing the biggest assortment of good clothes for boys in Sherbrooke.Boys\u2019 Suits at $3.50 and up to $12.00.RSTAR CïdOTMIN© HAUL.OSEIMOL.OOIVS THR^rrORE: THAT sets the pack A INTO COw LENNOXVIUE DROWNING CASE Woman Foiind in River Identified as Mrs.1.H.Price, Tliet-ford Mines INQUEST ADJOURNED UNTIL TONIGHTF U N ER A I, THIS AFTERNOON.Dr.Bachand, coroner for the dis-.trict, opened an inquest at the Town Hall, Lennoxville, last night, on the body of the woman who as reported in yesterday\u2019s Record was taken frora the St.Francis river on Sunday afternoon.After hearing several witnesses the inquest was adjourned until tonight.One witness, Mrs.Percy Robinson of Wellington St., Sherbrooke identified the body as that of Mrs.J.H, Pride, wife of a sergeant major in the Canadian Artillery who is at the front.She had stayed with witness at her home in Sherbrooke.Mr.Chas.Webb, of Thetford Mines called at the Record Office this morning and stated he felt sure from the !
