REES.—In loving memory of our dear Son, Morgan, 14 Morgan Street, Gadlys, who died at Rouen, France, February 11th, 1917, aged 20 years.

I loved him in life, he is dear to me still, But in grief I must bend to God's Holy Will, My sorrow was great, the Oock hard to bear, But angels, my darling, will tend thee with care. —From his sorowing Wife and Baby, Hilda. We did not know what pain he bore, We did not see him die, But this we know that he is gone, And never said good-bye. In the bloom of life death claimed him In the pride of his manhood days, None ever knew him but to love him, None mentioned his name but to praise. —From his Father and Mother-in- law, Brother and Sisters-in-law.

LETTEATO THE EDITOR. A CRITIC.—No name and address enclosed. CYFARCHIAD.—Next week. CT CO-OP.'s RETORT TO COUNCILLOR BOWEN. Sir,—It was not my intention to waste any precious time in continu- ing this correspondence, and more especially after the abusive language tised by Mr. Bowen. He seems to have overlooked the fact that the comments were not personal. How- ever, the sentiments- were sufficient proof that the writer was suffering terribly from a swelled head or some other unnatural cause, and the old saying was verified in his article, "Where ignorance is bliss, 'tis folly to he wise." He evades the whole cause of con- troversy, and confines himself to matters which have no relation what- ever with the question at issue, viz., inefficiency of the management. I can only repeat my statement re membership, a sugar card will not tie any person for more- than a per- iod." Further, although his ration was small, the Councillor does not submit any proof that he was wrongly treated or refused the por- tion alloted to each member, hence the management are not to blame for the shortage of supplies. The members in general would be up in arms if the inequality of distribution was so great as described. With regard to the sanitary condi- tion caused by the conjestion at the shops, provided we accept the only suggestion by Mr. Bowen, it would be necessary to turn out a number of poor mothers to the street, or, as an alternative, to form a queue, which has been avoided as far as possible by the management. Sanitary In- spectors have full power over all the Society's premises, to inspect, and we invite suggestions for the im- provement of sanitation. The committee in their letter did not claim perfection in distribution, and adopted the card system, which was described by Mr. Bowen as of no value, but acknowledged by others, who know something about business of this kind, to be the only remedy in the present strenuous times, and for the benefit of the public at large, apart from the absence of commodi- ties, the trouble has been aggravated by members of the Society in peace time wandering around the town in search of cheap commodities. A large number of Co-operators went to shops other than their own for goods, and when Government took stock of the position, back months ago, they based allotments on those disloyal days, hence our difficulty in procuring our full requirements" for all members according to rationing scheme. In referring to the writing of other people, which has no connec- tion with the present issue, and while quoting the principles of Robert Owen, let me advise him to first study well the principles which he professes to understand, and for him to remember that in the Co-oper- ative Society or the Municipality, the citizen and consumer unites with his fellowmen to control and manage' for each other's benefit. A few years ago. a very prominent leader in South Wales remarked that while a section of people could almost in- form the Almighty how to cule the universe, they could not organise a tea-fight themselves, and in referring to one writer, viz., Robert Owen, we all know that the Real is unfortun- ately very far from the Ideal, even. on the Mountain Ash District Coun- cil, and sufficient is it to know that all the great writers and thinkers "agree that the application of Co- operation is the one thing needful in spreading happiness amongst the wage-receiving class, and the system as worked by us meet with their ap- proval and good wishes, and further we may state that Co-operation is, the child of confidence, and ignor- ance is the patent of mistrust. Yours truly, Aberaman. E. JONES,
