It is important that the millers be present. One object of the convention is to bring the . milling interests and their buying agencies into ilti'ecr relationship, show- ing the advantages to the millers of me - curing their supplies of grinding stuffs through the Co -Operative Exchange where they can obtain the virgin wheat direct, It is the aim of the convention managernedit to have many of Ow rep- reaentetives of the milling interests on the platfotim dirang the 'three days of the convenficin and have the co-operatise idea presented to the delegates from their standpoint. It is hoped that Millers' Day may be inauguarted so that 0111\ day of the three may be de- voted exclueively to the milling inter- ests. There is not a single logical rea• son why the millers cannot anti ought not be ntembe , •s of the Equity Exeliange, even thcaagh they have other affiliatioue.
