I do not believe that the changes
when they come, will inevitably be in
the interests of the masses of man-
kind,” he told the 500 delegates from
the various parts of Alberta. “The

elements which dominate the existing} son with the prices received by the
system will undoubtedly endeavor to | farmer for the products of his labor,”

guide the processes by which the suc-
ceeding system may be established.
Those elements are to be found out-
side our parliamentary institutions;
for in the light of recent history it
is becoming increasingly apparent
that political governments occupy but
&@ secondary place in the scheme of
things.”

The president declared that gov-
ernments apparently chose “to abdi-
cate before the threat of irresp

of production, leaving little or noth-
ing to meet other liabilities. “The
pric. of the goods, and services
which the farmer must purchase have
| been only slightly reduced in compari-

| Mr. Gardiner declared. Rates on banks

and mortgage loans and other farm
indebtedness remain as high as form-
erly.

ple behind them, as they might, by a

trammels.” He said the “real strug-

operative principle, however, was

and industry, and the manner of its
control.”

“Some of the most influential of
these people are obsessed by the will
to power, by the ambition to achieve
complete control of the social sys-
tem. If they do succeed in maintain-
ing control of the processes in the
not distant future the ushering in, in
its most perfect form, of the servile
State, the establishment, beneath, it
may be, the guises of benevolence, of
a tyranny such as the world has not
yet known.”

Mr. Gardiner, however, believed
that if “mass intelligence” was de-
veloped and organized in such a man-
ner that it controlled and guided the
processes of change, “we can confi-
dently look forward to an age of
plenty, to an era in world history,
brighter, perkaps, than ariy which the
human mind has yet conceived.”

He pleaded for intelligent under-
standing and’ organization which he
declared necessary, “if we choose to
take the path to a better social
order.” Development in the strength
of the local, “the bas's of our organ-
ization,” was stressed by the presi-
dent as essential to success of “a co-
operative commonwealth.”

Unemployment and the gold stand-
ard were referred to by the farm
leader. He believed that if the inven-
tive genius of the ‘present generation
Was permitted full play it would re-

and provide the people with an abun-
dance of leisure for self-development,
but it was increasingly manifest that
this could not occur under the present
economic order. Depreciation of the
Canadian dollar, he continued, made
it doubtful whether a single commod-
ity such as gold could be successfully
used under all conditions as a basis
for the issue of currency and credit.

In reference to reparations, the
president pointed out the tendency to
blame this result of the war for the
breakdown, but he maintained that
if this problem had been non-existent

The director of the play received a

It is apparently fairly definite that
the Canadian Government will make
salary reductions in the Civil Service
this year as part of its economy pro-
gram—a step to which it is practic-
ally forced by the state of the treas-
ury, It is to be hoped, however, that
the mail carriers, who have been
underpaid for many years will not be
affected. After years of service a

An Interesting Study

Thousands Of Bees Found To Be
Worl:ing In Full Force Colony
One of the most interesting of the
studies in apiculture carried out un-
der the direction of C. B. Gooderham,
Dominion Apiarist, relates to the
number of “fielders” or bees in a col-
ony in the field at work gathering
honey and nectar during the period
of a heavy flow. On the basis of
5,000 bees to a pound it has been de
termined by recording the weights of
colonies resting on weighing trucks.
that as many as twenty to twenty-
five thousand bees from one colony
are working in the field at the time.
In one case the total hive force was

in the field, leaving a hive force of
35,000. In another case where the
total colony numbered 56,250 it was
found that 27,187 were flying abroad
with a reserve hive force of 29,063.

Gangrene from exposure to cold
occurs more often in the temperate
zone than in the Arctic regions.
