When cold storage first camMnto general use it was hailed as one of the greatest" discoveries of any age. We very much fear, however, that it is becomming our diief oppressor, unless we can take its power out of unscrupulous hands. It istime for us to awake to the importance of DEMANDING the square deal, as well as accord ing it.

And, paradoxical as it may seem, this trait stillitraces of bi n and st! predominates. We are as ready as we ever were to grant large justice to all. But GRANTING justice is only one-sided fairness but one side of the human equation. We should DEMAND justice and fainess, each for self and for all others. This we are rapidly ceasing to do.
