WEATHER AFFECTS THE BEES
Cold Snaps Have Shut OFF Their Sup
ply of Honey Making Materials
in the Fields.

Boonville, Ind, May IS. = The sup
ply of honey is so scarce In the fields
of Warrick county that the bees have
invaded the grocery stores, and screen
doors have been put up, in order to
keep them from covering the sweet ar
ticles in the stores. Bees are seen by
the hundreds trying to get entrance to
the stores The managers of the stores
let the fires go out in the evenings be-
fore they close for the night and the
cooler air makes them numb. .
They are gathered up in pans in the
morning and put outside, where they
revive in the sunshine. Bee growers
say it was never known in this part of
the state when the supply of honey
and pollen was as short. Blossoms have
been killed by freezing weather. There
are only a few wild flowers.

The victim says he knows every one
of the whitecaps and he was in con
ference with Deputy Prosecutor Lou
den. The cause of the whitecaping is
said to be the loose and wild life young
Morris has been living. His father,
Jacob Norris, is one Of the old re-
spected citizens Of Ellettsville, and his
sons wild career has been the cause
of great deal Of worry TO him. But
the whitecapping had another angle
which did not develop until Thursday
night, when young Morris eloped with
Mrs. Charles Daniels, the pretty wife
of a Monon railroad man, and went
to Spencer, where the two were ar

They were arraigned yesterday MORN

deputy prosecutor he named AMI

Cup, Monon railroad employee; An

He then went back to Ellettsville

met the train, and there were black
looks and muttered threats against
Morris. In the crowd was Mrs. Dan

she got on. He stood facing the crowd

he swung on to the car and everybod,

the fact that about one-third of the

devoted to defining how the question
of prohibition shall be submitted to

comic opera entitled 1.-THE Mikado"
was being presented at one of the the

Japanese customs and officials which

Time For the Graduation Gown-At-

The type of girlish gowns classed as
graduation frocks is of great interest
to many people at this season. Suc,
frocks are not only well adapted to the
festivities that mark the close OF the
school term, but are quite as desirahi:e
for any other of the purposes fos
which an especially smart girlish toilet
is required.
All the grandmother styles are reck-
oned especially attractive today. but
no one now thinks of selecting any
model without first making an estimate
of the requirements. as a builder does
before he contracts to build house.
The items are different, the materials
filmy textured fabrics and pretty col
ored trimmings instead of bricks

same.
Embroidered collar and cuff sets in
linen and similar fabrics are used on
