The new $100,000 utility plant of the Frase? Valley Milk Producers’

Association is to be located ut Sardis, according to advice from that place.

The locating of this plant at Sardis is amearby example of wnat a Board

of Trade CAN accomplish. that the jon was

sceking a site, citizens of Sardis, through their Board of Trade, got busy and

_@ found one. The site was suitable, but the price asked by its owner was

$1,000 higher than the association was prepared to pay, so Sardis people got

together and raised that $1,000. Five sites were under consideration by the
milk association executives.

* Probabilities now indicate that every milk truck and wagon in the Chilli-
wack valley and district will operate from Sardis, and a welcome little pay-
roll provided for the settlement.

Opinions haye been voiced that the recent failure to finance and estab-

lish a farmers’ co-operative store in Abbotsford is in a measure dug to opposi-
tion, covert and open, developed by local merchants.

. > * .

This notion is not correct.

While local opinion does uot unanimously endorse such a venture at the
present time, the town’s commercialelement did not hinder the effort.
Business interests here realize that the problems of Abbotsford and the sur-)
rounding community are identical, not conflicting, and that this village docs)
not exist simply to prey upon the needs of ils environment.

Appreciating the fact that a successful co-operative organization in Ab-
botsford would in the long run re-act favorably upon town commer
the farmers, those in business here are able to

’ efforts along co-operative lines.

It didn’t take long for stock and bond houses in our coast metropolis to
get busy following the U.S. elections. Reports from, Wall street showed
the upward bound of prices to be rema rkable, many stocks going to the high-
est point in years. This activity doubtless indicates higher prices for farm
produce and better wages in the United States, all of
this country. It also means a ‘‘run’’ of bond and stock trading, mech of it
by people with no experience. Along with other securities German bonds are
