Omaha was again selected as the convention city for 1916, H Considerable wrangling oceurred over the systems of auditing co-operative ele- | wvator books at the afternoon session of the convention.

Books Not Regularly Audited. The session developed into A general discussion of accounting and auditing systems, and the consensus of opinion ‘was that books of the co-operative com- panies are not as regularly and thoroughly audited as they should be for their own * good and the good of the local managers themselves. o “1 want to ask,” said Becretary Short- S/ bill, “how many companies represented . here this afternoon carry a surety bond © with some bonding company for their manager?” . Perhaps half the hands in the house went up. “How many know theprovisionsofthe bond? “continued the secretary. /Fewer hands went up. ““How fmany know that they are com- plying with the requirements of that con- tract in the matter of the reguler auiting of the books?” the secretay weunt on.

Officiala polnted out today that a thor- unsatistactory oughly and unresponsive reply from Austila would bring dipio- matic relations the two countries to a crisis because of'thé closing words of Becretary note, which de- clared that “good relations between the two countries rest upon a common regard for law and humanity,” and that Austria, appreciating the gravity of the case, “will accede to Its (the United States) demand promptly.” FARMERS DOUBLE PRESIDENT'S PAY WITH APOLOGIES (Continued from Page One.) been wronged 8o 10 id dictated to by combinations we have helped to make by constantly voting our enemies into office to make laws that were not to our Inter- " He advocated that the farmer see that he gots better and more direct rep- resentation In the legislatures, and that co-operative education be more widely diaseminated. e read extracts from the report of the Board of Control of North Dakota, ‘wherein the board expressed the opinion that the practical way to eliminate the great waste between consumer and pro- flucer is the co-operative elevator plan. “It s of Interest,” sald the speaker, "that this board after two years of re- pearch work comes right back to the proposition we, have been preaching for f Laws for Layman.
