REBUILD THE OREGON.
Famous BattIeship to Be Bebuilt and
Modernized

The famous battleship Oregon is to
be modernized, and Secretary Metcalf
announced today that he had authoriz-
ed the expenditure of $4,000 900 from
the naval repair fund for the purpose.
OF the best type of warship when she
was launched, the Oregon is already
almost obsolete, and to make her
equal to modern men-of-war, she must
be extensively overhauled. The
changes will be similar to those order
ed for her sister ship, the Indiana, the
most important being the substitution
of balanced elliptical turretes for the
present round turrets, which cause the
ship to heel when all four 12-inch guns
are pointed over the same quarter. The
alterations will be made at the Puget

A PARADISE FOR BEE KEEPERS
ATTRACTIONS OF THE DANBURY
 FAIR

A bee keeper may leafn a lot at the
 Danbury fair if he will keep his eyes
 and ears open and ask questions. He
 will find here not only everything used
 in the apiary but some of the most pro-
 gresslve bee-keepers as we'll. The
 men and women who have skill enough
 to make an exhibit at the Danbury
 fair are generally worth talking to
 when one wants information about
 bees or fixtures. And it is notable
 fact that every skilled bee-keeper is
 always willing to impart information
 without money and without price, In
 formation that he has learned in the
 dear school of experience he gives out
 as cheerfully as though it didn't cost
 anything. There is something so fasci-
 hating about the study of bees that the
 person is rare one who is not ready to
 talk on the subject. So if one will lin
 ger around the apiarian displays at
 the Danbury fair and get acquainted with the exhibitors and interested yisi
 tors, he must be a dull scholar if he can't learn something of value And then one sees all the appliances just as they are used in the best apiaries. One may learn how to put foundation in the sections, and how to arrange ~
 manage the supers for comb honey in order to produce the finest grade for market or exhibition. One may learn how to render wax so as to have it of the highest grade and value One may examine the different styles of hives | and learn which are best for his pur- poses. One may often see different | races of bees and learn something of | their characteristics. Above all, com ing in contact with others in the same business and seeing how they do things spurs one to better work when one get home. That is the chief benefit of fairs. They show us what the other fel- low is doing and, unless we are willing to admit that he is smarter than we are, we go home and try to beat him next time. Fairs usually come to- wards the close of season of hard la DOT for the outdoor worker, and such one needs a week s rest and recreation. Let him plan to take day or two off and go to the great Danbury fair, Oc- .ober to 12. Roy .Knabenshoe will
