THE CO-OPERATIVE SYSTEM, \\f HIGH insures mutual help an did entity of interests, has met'with pheno yt menal success wherever it has been applied to any object. In the United " Kingdom some over seven millions of people, or a fifth of the whole population enjoy the benefits arising, from Membership of over a thousand Co-operative Societies, thus saving al 1 middlemen's profits, and the Chief Wholesale Co-operative Society thero holds invested capital of over £11,000,000, and the annual trade turnover exceeds £25,000,000. This success is owing to the fact that the investor sees not only a fair commercial .return on his investment, but proprietary division of profits which he would not receive from any other organisation. Ifc has been left to Australia to apply . this grand principle to r I R R I GAT I ON. - And the Co-operative Irrigation and Mercantile Society of Australia, Limited, who have already secured three Irrigation Colonies which are partially sett led and planted, are negotiating for other-large areas of many thousands of acres, each of virgin land, specially adapted for fruit, poultry, dairy, and general agricultural farming, to be followed at an early date by application to the respective Australian^ - Governments concerned fof Government concessions from time to time of lands, as the Society's resources admit of colonising same. ."■.... ■ ■ : •".- COION IB Si's ; f "• ;//■ Partially populated, awaiting the small resident or noh-residpnt capitalist, therm ployed worker, or the man Whose Sole Capital is his labor.
