TEACHING NEED FOR COOPERATION The thought is widely expressed that the most encourag ing factor in the agricultural situation is the steady, sustained growth of the great farm cooperative organizations. As they enlist more members, and make their influence more widely felt, their battle for stable markets and better pries auto matically approaches closer to victory. It might also be said that a lesser-known phase of coopera tive activity is almost as important as this kind of work, and gives equal cause for encouragement. That is the work the co-ops do in educating their members and the general public as well. They seek to lie agencies of economic informa tion, as well as Imyei's and sellers of commodities and their influence in this direction, as in the other, is always widen ing. Cooperative lenders have demonstrated to the thinking public that fair and profitable prices for agricultural products are an essential of recovery generally that bringing back the farm income to a normal level would be a major step in bringing back the urban income. The American farmer con stitutes trie greatest single market for our factory products, and no one can profit if his buying power is dormant. The cooperatives, in brief, are showing the nation that all our citizens rural and urban dwellers have the same interests and the same problems, and that better times for one means better times for all. ON THE CONTRARY A recent article in the Wall Street Journal reveals that prices of seats in the New York Stock Exchange are going up again. The last recorded sale was made on .May 23, ata price of $9ti,(M)0; since then, the Journal says, "asking prices, are 'way up in the air'." and the range of seat prices this year has gone as high as $190,000. Now all this, to an outside observer, would seem to be 'n pretty good answer to Wall Street's complaint that the new stock exchange legislation and the truth-in-securities bill are going to ruin everything. People don't buy seats on the Stock Exchange unless they figure that they are going .to get theiy money back through profits made in trading. If the new legislation were going to cripple the security markets half as much as some of Wall Street's anguished cr-ies would make one Mieve, these seats would le selling today at a dime a dcraen.

Labatt rested In London today at the home of tils brother. Hugh, ex hausted and nervous but unharmed after his 65 hours In the hands of the gang. Labatt was released, an authority here believes, because the kidnapers suffered a case of "cold fret." A relative of the family discounted rumors that Hugh Labatt could have paid the ransom- Hugh was reported to have obtained the money from a branch of the bank of Nova, Scotta. "As a matter of fact." said the re lative, "the bank was closed when he ww supposed to have got. the money. Attorney-Oeneral Roebuck made the following statement concerning La batt 'a kidnaping: ' "He was blindfolded and had been continuously blindfolded since the time he was taken. He was left In the vicinity of Forest Hill village, from where he took a taxi to the Royal York hotel (where Hugh await ed him.) He was Immediately carried from there, by his own friends, in a car to London. "At the time of his capture, he drove around for a time which he estimates at 13 hours. He was in Ontario all the time. He has no knowledge of having passed over any water. "There is no hot trail of the abduc tors. It Is most unfortunate that the police forces of both the province and the cltv have been verv seriously handicapped in their work by their 1 Inability to secure complete control of the situation."
