HlVlNG A SWARM.
Methods Followed BY a Successful Be.
Keeper.

When bees get to hanging out on
the hive, raise 1t from the bottom

not stop raise them higher. explains
a bee keeper in Farm and Home. I
think that raising them is a very good
preventative OF swarming. A certain
percentage Of colonies will swarm In
spite Of anything that may be done.
II takes but little to induce swarming
during good honey harvest. Bees
left to themselves will generally send
out one swarm In a season, often q
second swarm. sometimes a third.
In hiving swarms It frequently hap.
pens that the bees take wing when
dumped in front OF their new hive In
stead of crawling into IT. We have

a popular official and the city was a
model under mis- administration of OF
flee. OF course he had trouble at
times, but he managed the atrairs of
the position witn entire satisfaction
to all classes.
Mr. Moore was made deputy sheriff
upon the election of Ed Valentine
some three years ago, and he served
in the office to the opening of this
year, when he engaged in business for
himself His work in the Office of the
sheriff was of the same excellent
character that marked his record in
the police department of the city gov
eminent. The man is quiet,but force
full. He Is not inclined toward dem
but he does things, and
whatever he does IS well done. The
nature of the work in the two offices
is such that a man may easily make
himself most unpopular with ali
classes, but not SO with Mr.. Moore.
The people know that Whatever was
in the line of duty was quickly, hon
estly and thoroughly performed and
in a manner that lett no complaint
with the offending or the suffering
parties.
AS an officer Mr.. Moore was thor
ough and firm anu the same qualities
have marked all mis- work. He Will
bring to the position of mayor the
qualities that are so much desired in
the chief executive of the city. He
mas the acquaintance OF the people
and possesses their unqualified re-
gard. He is a man of irreproachable
character and commands the utmost
respect of all classes. He has an
intimate knowledge of city affairs
and the requirements of his office that
were gained through actual expert
ence wherein he did much oil the
work himself. ne election OF Mr..
Moore to be mayor of the city Will
be no experiment.
The republican principles upon
which Mr.. Moore stands need no eX-
PLANTATION before the people. They
have always been the same and Mr..
Moore as their advocate will demaTd
in the new city government all that
is best and all that Is fair. He knows
the faults and the sore spotj of the
city of Oskaloosa. better than does
any other candidate, and he is better
able to cope with the multitude OF
city problems to better advantage
tina is any other nominee now be
fore the people. The best interests
of the city and the community de-
mand Mr.. Moore's election.

Trade has followed the flag in the
new possessions and Cuba, and the
little republic of Panama shows up
well in recent figures. In 1904 our
imports from Panama amounted to
$4,000 and exports TO s2600,000.
The totals in 1906 We're $l,400,G00 i'm
ports and Sl4.2OO.O00 exports. Baaa-
mas are the largest item in the inn
ports, followed by India rubber, vege-
table ivory, hides, mahogany and cof-
fee. Prominent among the exports
are provisions and other food mater
ials, with many manufactured pro
ducts, including boots and shoes, fur
niture, iroa and steel Our exports
to Panama now exceed $l,C00,000 a
month. The list includes over forty
articles and covers nearly the whole
field of production.
Much of our commerce with Pana-
ma is due to the building of the canal,
but this represents demand that will
steadily increase, AID rise to far
greater proportions when the enter.
prise is completed. After all, this
trade is with near neignbors, and
legitimate basis for its extension ex.
lists in adjacent countries if friendly
can be arrived at. The
balance of trade need not be large on
either side, for the products bought
and sold are non-competitive. Our
commerce with Mexico, for instance
has increased fast, yet the imports
and exports interchanged are nearly
in an equilibrium. 1t will pay Amer
leans to look we'll to the trade OF
South America, Central America,
West Indies and the orient. 1t is a
field that looms up wherever Oppor-
tuaities are opened.

EoR MAYOR. "NIcKD MOORE.

The republicans of Oskaloosa nave
been most fortunate in their 1omina'
ton of a standard bearer in the mu-
nicipal campaign that is now being
waged in a three-cornered fight NO
man is better calculated TO win out
in this fight than this same man wno
was the unanimous choice of his con
yention. Mick Moore, as every one
knows the man, is the candidate
the party and he should win in the
fight that is being made for the OF
fee.
Mr.. Moore Is well known and pop
ular in the city. In fact, everyone
knows him through his prominence
in connection with a public service
well and faithfully performed. He
was born in Poweshiek county and
one might say has known oskaloosa
from his boyhood, He has resided In
the city over fifteen years.

Random Thoughts
of a
Busy Outsider

There are no friends like the Old
friends" so said a prominent public
speaker one day to one whose affec-
ton he had proved.
1T is rare, says the social philoso-
pher, that a man makes any real
friends after middle life."
In the main both these sayings are
true. 1t is certainly the old friends
ito whom our hearts turn in hours OF
sorrow or indecisiol. 1t is from them
that we expect and surely find sym.
pathy for our misfortunes, tears for
our sorrow or sincere congratulations
on our success. ae p, an.
What a joy it is when old friends
meet after years of separation. The
Outsider was a glad participant in
one of these meetings last summer.
A number OF friends who had not
been together in years, met and maze
a picnic holiday on the old farm
home of twenty years ago. Promi-
nent among that group of old neigh
bors and friends were a couple who
had met last as boys. Both had mar
ried in the interim, both had families,
one had grown gray, and there were
places on the others head where the
hirsute adornment waD thin, but you
should have seen their joy in re-
union. The look of frank and full IN
derstanding which they exchanged,
each secure in the knowledge that
the other understood him.
Understanding, that is the real
tombstone of friend ship. The man
or woman who has your heart ii
keeping may not fully understand
your inner self-maybe it is as well.
The father ana mother who reared
you, the sisters and brothers with
whom you played, may not know you
thoroughly. But between you ald
your real friend there must be COM
plete understanding.
In that calm, shady glow of affec-
ton wherein there enters no passion,
no blood prediction, the intellect
works, and a Knowledge eacn Of the
other is necessary. That is why
there are no friends like the old
friends.
The boys whos waded in the same
brooks, chased butterflies over the
same pastures, or attended the same
school, know each other thoroughly.

THE MUNICIPAL ELECTION,

Now that all nominations for the
municipal election have been made,
and three tickets have been placed in
the field, there can be no excuse for
any voter failing to exercise his right
OF franchise at the polls.
Good men have been placed on the
three tickets and the general outline
of policies has been announced. The
hackers of each one are no doubt as
sincere and honest as are the pTomot-
ers of the others, and any charges of
incompetency or corruption against
any one of them will, as it should, re-
fleet upon and damage the accusers.
In local elections men should remem.
Der they are all neighbors; in fact,
members of one big family, and all
interested in the one object of pro-
noting the general welfare of the city.
On the other hand, everyone shoulJI
have a choice, but he should not Yet
friendships or environs interfers(witn
his ideas of the best interests}of Os-
kaloosa, and he should vote flor the
men and the policy best suited to
serve the greatest number in the best
way.
AS republican paper, the Herald
will support the republican ticket Ior
three different reasons ;-becauss 1t
is made up of good, capable men from
top to bottom; because it was nomi-
mated in Tie regular way by the re
publicans of Oskaloosa, and because
it believes that any party that mas
made such a splendid record in city.
county, state and nation as has the
republican party, deserves to be pro
tected from the wedges of disse1sion
and the darts of outside influence,a1d
deserves the united support of every
man interested in it's welfare.
Oskaloosa is naturally a republican
city, with working majority of from
300 to 400. To the republican party,
therefore, belong the Offices. or
course, if the republicans fail to
choose good standard-bearers, they
should not expect to win. This charge,
however, cannot be made. The men
are tried and true and are qualified
for the places they fill and are de-
serving of the support of their party
aad their friends.
The party has suffered repeatedly
in times past By movements of vari-
GUS natures, that have served only to
make a demonstration of strength and
give the office to the enemy. While
We have no fight to make on the men
who go into such movements consci'
CONSCIOUSLY, yet We believe that the
two great parties that bear the po-
litical burdens of the people at all
other times should have the support
of these people in all tests of strength
down to the smallest Office within the
gift of the people. Organization Is
necessary to success and the best ends
will be served by clinging to the party
OF your choice and aiming at your
ideal through its united influence.
