POINTS. -4- The Radical Government, who are making Great Britain a lauglnDg-stock by their crippling of the national defences, sang a very different tune when they were wooing the electorate. At Edinbugh, on November 5th, 1904, Sir Henry Campbell Rannennan de- clared We all desire to see a very strong Navy; having the full command of the sea it is necessary for our position, for the nature and character of our Empire, for our immense trade, always occupying distant lands of com- merce, as well as for the protection of our shores in this island." Mr. Asquith (now Chancellor of the Exchequer) said on February 21st, 1902: There are two branches of national expenditure in the diminution of which I see no prospcct, and for the diminution of which I have no desire. One is the money we spend on our national educa- tion the other is the money we spend on our Fleet." Mr. John Morley, at Manchester, on November 8th, 181)3, avowed Every- body knows, Liberals as well as Tcries, that it is indispensable that we should not only have a powerful Navy, but I may say an all-powerful Navy." Yet these very 11 i n isters, now in office, are cutting down the Navy and the Army to save money. What for ] To pay a salary of ,C300 a year to capitalist Jtadlcal members like Mr. Monu and Mr. Lever. What do the deluded electors think of it all

The annual mooring- of the Cheshire, Shrop- shire nnd North Wales Farmers' Supply Asso- ciation, Ltd., w,"b held at Whitchurch on Tues- d-t, Colonel Cotton-Jodrell, C.B., prcsid rig. There were also present Sir Delves Brougluon, Mess's. John Emberton, James Corbett, J. Crewe, George Lewis, J. VÙdley, Evan Lang- ley, A. 0. Lakin, G. C. Iiockenhull, G. Waid.e, R. W. Cartwright, W.

Mr. G. B-d. (Spurslow). and Mr. Proud.ovc (Bradewall). Mr. Dutton added that the harvest weather had intprT"rcd w.th the attendance of many laruici.i. The auditor (Mr. E. Noel llumpheys, Ch'ster) was unanimous'y re appointed Oil the moi ion of Mr. Barton, seconded by Mr. Ilccnen- liull, end was also thanked f ir his uervic-s. Mr. Humphreys suitably acknowledged t ho com- pliments an d expres-od the hope tna.t- if through the exigencies of business there should be a decrease in the receipts he hoped they would be as friendly to their s,'rvan:" a; vn thl} 1'0- I spot auspicious occasion. ANNUAL REPORT. In their annual report tho dirccior.s j stated that the turnover during the year had Iticr,e of £ 17,055 over that of 1905, the working expenses j having been with M.017.4a.5d. Therewnsanettprohtforti?- po,al of £ 2.271. 14s. 2d., or an incre?.-?' com- pared with the previous year of £333.4", They recommended the disposal of the protit thus: — | (1) Interest on capital (at 5 per cent.). x591. 4s. P-I. 12) depreciation on plant at. Mills, etc., £ 110 j Is 3d. (.3) bonus of 7d. in the £ on tho pnr- clia.o of members. £ 2,252 16s. 8d. (4) to transfer to reserve fund, £ 18. 17s. 6d. The resisrve fund again shewed a substantial increase, and now amounted to 1;1,652. as compared with £ 1,071. 12s. in 1901, and £ 216. 15.s. 7d. in 1896. The turnover of the year was the highest yet recorded, and exceeded tho most sanguine expectations of thot-ie who knew most of the possible developments. Notwithstanding the inevitable loess through the regrettable fire at Lea Forge Mill, with it3 consequent disloca- tion in the local trade, they were able to recom- mend again the payment of a bonus of 7d. in the £ on tho purebafXNS of members, and to carry a small amount to the reserve fund. All tho re- placement of machinery, etc., at. Lea Forge Mill would be completed within the present month. and they were pleased to again have indications | of a promising trade there. They had main- tained the plant at the other mills, and recom- mended that the rate of depreciation be 5 per; cent. It. was therefore with the utmost satis- faction that they pr8{'nted tj¡('ir report and balance-sheet. During tho year two v-ac-mcics in the directorate h;¡d oc.curn'd 1.hl'oug-h the decease of Mr. I. A, Goodwin and Mr. Alfred of i. A. G(-)<)(Iwlri ar)(I ?lIr. Aifr,?i ami Mr. William Nunneriey. I tho appointment of Sir I). L. Brouglif.oji, Bart., Tho Ch'?u'man, in moving the adoption of the report Hnd baiiinee sheet, said it was with the utmost satisfaction that the drirecto ft pre- sented that statement. They had never had a n ovo satisfactory year than the pros'nt, one. When the business of the association stood at £ 60,000 he thought, it was very trgh. and when it rose to £ 70,000 and £ 80,000 he thought it useuss his endeavouring in any sort of way to prophesy to the shareholdeTfl whr¡!, t.he ultimate resources of the association might be or the amount of trade it would in the future develop. Since I13 had been their chairman, and certainly of late years, he hud been able to face the shareholders with a. mind free from any qualms. Tho reason of the c-nnt:nueJ prosperity of the association was, he thought., due at all events to two very good and satisfactory causes. One wa, the tremendous energy and business capa- city of their manager—(hear, hear)—and the second was the confidence which he inspired in the nsmds of the public and those with whom he Jtealt., and the conifdence which the public had in the art icles which they obtained from tho assoeiat on. With ihose etcments still con- tinuing he t'uw no limit at all to the amount of trade which might, be done by the associa- tion ill the future. They were extremely seny that the fi:e occurred at Lea Forgo Mill. It cam-G at a disastrous and unlucky time. Fires generally occurred at. unlucky times, but in the niuiddlo of inter they were less desirable. The damage, however, was now repaired, and from, what. Mr. Dutton let fall at. the directors' mooting, he gathered that the Lea Forge Mill was practically completed, bo' li in tho fabrio and in the plant and machinery which they hail at work. Mr. DuHun: It is completed. The Chairman, continuing, said that was now over and it would enable them to put the house in order. During the year the directors had had their attention called to the subject; of looking up thoi'r insurance police. All inquiry had been hold into the matter, and in the future the shareholder;! might comfort themselves that the policies d lire ins;i;ance j were perfectly satisfactory, and tli-ai. for the I future they were well protected as far as they j could be from fire. They had to ;egret the decease during the year cf two directors; one I of them, Mr. J. A. Goodwin, being an old servant who had joined the board of director;; shortly after the formation of the association. These vacancies had been fLIed by tbo appoint- mentof his old friend, Sir Dolv:-s Broughtcn, Dirt., and Mr. W iltiam Nunneriey, who repre- s' r.ted the district between Whitchurch and EHesmere, which was becoming of increasing importance to the trade of the association. The Colonel then called attention to an im- portant. matter which, lie said, had considerable bearing upon the ?r!')nc:als?d'of t??Hi-s?cIa- ticn. The very large expansion of trade on the comparatively small capital which they had j called up, led at many times during the year to a considerable overdraft, at the bank, and it. had readied such a point at tho p:-e?c;it time that the directors had leen very seriously con- sidering that morning the question of i-suing FRESH CAPITAL. I They had powers under resolutions that had been passed to increase the capital of the as- sociation to £ 20,000, of £ 1 shares. Theanourit of subscribed capital at present was £ 11,718, which was laised by new shares totalling £205 to £ 11,923. Subtracted fiom the nominal capital of £ 20.000 that loft matter was last gone into in 1203. alr.iiough the directors were allowed to -k,uo capital up to moiiio sort of stipulation made that if they wished to issue capital over £ 15,000 they should mention tho matter to the shareholders and let them know their intentions. The directors had practically resolved to invito subscriptions for £ 7,000 more leaving a margin of about £1.0::0 still in their hands which they could ia*uo for purposes that might, turn up and for which was best to have a small amount in re.-e:ve. Therefore, as the £ 7,000 added to the £ 11,900 would bring the total duty to lay the matter before the shereholders. The dive:tors felt veiy strongly that they could not do with less than £ 7,000. Tho butanes? of the asrociaticn had advanced to such a stage that the overdraft- had become a very great nuisance and as one speaker reminded them they must a,. d a? <)!?e t k or rei ai.-o consider the manager. It was hardiy fair that he should be to such inconvenience and responsibility. The amount of security at the bank was only £ 5,000, of which £.OOO was absorbed by a guarantee bond. The overdraft often exceeded £5,000, so that it was not with- out considerable reason and strong conviction tha.t the extra capital was n cessary to bring the machin-1 into better working ordPr. In conclusion Colonel Cotton Jodrell congratulated the members on the v"ry prosperous condition j cf trade and the rdate of the management, and moved that, a dividend of five per c'nt. be paid 1 on the subscribed capital, that a bonus of 7d. in the £ be paid on the purchases of members, :n :C be p that £ 110. b. 3d. be written off as depreciation on plant, machinery, etc.. at the mtills, and that the sum of £ 18. 17s. Cd. be transferred to the reserve fund. Mr. Evan Langby secended. He briefly traced the history of the association for the past 35 | years, since he hed been connected with it, and i culogecd the cervices of Mr Carr, of Liverpol, I who initiated the association, and cf Mr. Fitton, who worked assiduously for so many years on the association'* behalf. He alro spoke in com- j plimentary terms of the boundless energy d's- playcd by the present manager (Mr. Dutton), and pa d a tribute to the efficient work of the staff generally. The resolution was afterwards cordially oar- Tied. Ti-e the Rev. Canon Armit- stead, Messrs. J. Crewe, Edward Gouldbourn, G. C. Iiockenhull, Evan Langley, Geo. Lewis, and John W alley, were all re-elected on the it-ol i o,i cf iA[r. L,? k  ,-i, motion cf Mr. Lakin, seconded by Mr. W. R- Iluntbach.

If the resec- tion was agiced to he thought it would give an opportunity to many people who were de- sirous of becoming member^ of the association- It would also further the interests of the as- sociation and facilitate the work cf tho manager. Sir Delves Brougiiton seconded and r. Hock' nhuil supported, iho latter aiguing that the more money the shareholders had in the business the greater would be their interest the asfccciation's weiiarc. The mot,on was carried unanimously. r.

No ono knew more than he did the amount of work, inteiest, liytn- pai.hy and patronage they put. into tho work. Regarding the progress of the company he thoug .t ihey had now leached high-water mark. COL. COTTON-JODRELL CONGRATU' LATKD. During the last few days, he continued, thoi* chairman had received an appointment, and honour at the hand s of hiB (clIntry and tho Government, and he was sure they all tendered h in their hearty conglutinations.
