Mayor Jones Sends Greeting.

At the close of the meal, Mr..
Dean introduced Ralph W. Wheelock,
private secretary to Mayor Jones,
who extended the greetings of his
Honor to Minneapolis Prohibitionists

Wheelock addressed the assembly as

Dorsett for governor last fall He
paid a high compliment to the brave
men of the party who have stood up
for their convictions and expressed
his doubt whether even Prohibition
lists realize how much they have
contributed to the recent awakening
in behalf of better law and it's en-
forcement. He believed that it was
due to nothing more than to the
fight which Prohibitionists have
been putting UP for principle. He
spoke of the unwillingness of the
-saloonists of the eityete consent to
anything less than unbridled viola
ton of the law and closed his much
appreciated remarks by bespeaking
for the Mayor the sympathy and
counsel of all friends of law and

Bees Useful to Farmers.
The great value and usefulness of
the common honey bee on the farm
has been tersely put by Prof. w. P.
Hedrick of the agricultural college of
Michigan. He says: The fruit grower
who complains of bees is an migrate
full wretch. At best fair exchange is
no robbery, but the bees take nothing.
A crop of honey removes no fertility
from the SOIL no substance nor flavor
from the fruit, nor even the fragrance
from the flower. Multitudes of bees
may store their hives with "choicely
culled sweets" from your orchard, and
you may take it and feast yourself on
the apple-blossom favored honey, or
you may sell it for dollars and cents,
yet neither your trees nor your farm
is the loser by one penny's worth. If
the bees take little toll from the
fruit, what Of it? Should they not be
repaid for officiating at the nuptials
of your fruit blossoms. But do they
take toll?
