That tile company engage more generally in the business of selling frtrin machinery was suggested, and the suggestion met with general approval. J. C. Stewart, in charge of co-opera- tion in Ontario for the Department of Agriculture, Ottawa, spoke in The evening on the subject of co-operation by farmers in the manner of,collecting and selling eggs. He suggested the stamping of eggs by the producer for the sake a identificatioe. A great advance in this line of Vastness has been made since '1916, he said, and the consumer, as a result of the oper- ation of egg circles, has received bet- ter value for his money owing to the fact that the eggs, co-operatively handled, are delivered to the deal- ers: in better condition than when old- fashioned egg gathering by other method e existed. The Government's share in this work of handling eggs co-operatively consists merely in Pre- viding instructions and a.dVice with regard to the handling and care of the eggs. There are 2,500 members of egg circles in Ontario at present, he said, aid none cif these has any trouble in disposing of his eggs to advantage and to the advantage of the consumer. An account of the progress and prospects of the W. F. Co-operative Compahy was given by L. M.

This general stateemat will clarisr.the events of Monday, when Dr. :Karl Lieb- knecht tried a typical 13elshevik move at the opening of inc National Abetter Sol - (latent at ( Vorkinen's anti. Sokz.d.ers' Coun- cil)with aeplorable restilts to himself and the Spartacus group avith which ne is identified. When the assembly open- ed he led a mass of perhaps 3,04 work- men thruogh the streets in Augeorgene- ten Hall and sent in a delegation to in- sist upon an immediate hearing.. The president of tile Voltsugerat, which Is the Berlin committee nominally in con- tiol of the Government, was at the mo- ment In the middle of an address, He yielded the floor to the Soartacus dele- gate, who declared a complete Boislitvik Programme, which had already been pub- lished in the Rote Farm° 'Med Flag, or- gan of the Extremists.) Only one Judg- ment can explain this move for the body before which the Spartacus delegation appeared had been elected by Workers and Soldiers, who were alive to the dan- gers of Bolshevism, and were determined to avoid them. A majority of those at the meeting showed themselves unfrienuly to tho Sptrtacus intruders and were barely will- ing to hear them. When the vleitor de- manded that the workmen be armed and that. a Red Guard be formed of the sol - diets the delegates cried, "Out with them," and the hearers became furious when the Spartacus wettlters denounced the National Assembly. The situation was aggravated by the further demand that all the power of government be vested in the Arbeiter Soldatenra.t. It must seem strange tb the outside obser- ver that resentinent was expressed over the proposition of the Spartaaus speakers to vest full powers in the body they were addressing, which sounded flattering; but the whole political situation in Ger- msaoncyi ihgahvte t atter lea. ts red themselves for a constituent assembly, and against -the dictation of the proletariat. It was against this very ba:ly, so elected, that Liebknbeht tried his 13olshevik move.
