There are thousands Of patriotic

BEES ON THE FARM
Article No. 4.
How to Make q Start With bees.
BY Joel S. oilfllan.
The Murmurins and Inuumerable Bees

One of the NEST important things In
entering upon bee keeping is TO make
a wise start. Probably more people
fail because they did not start right
than from any other cause.
First one should learn something
about handling bees. He should have
at least one good book on bees, and
read It carefully. One good work
like the "a b. c. OF Bee Culture"
would be worth many times its cost
in one season. Then It would be Of
great value to visit the apiary OF some
progressive beeleeper. The apiarist
would take pleasure in showing how
he handles the bees and would give
some valuable demonstrations and
also allow the visitor to try his hand.
Such an experience would give a
knowledge that could not be gained in
many weeks Of reading.
Many make the mistake Of buying
too many bees to begin with. 1t is
a great temptation for one who is con-
templating embarking in the bee busi-
ness 70 take up the offer. which seems
such a bargain. OF some one going OUT

BAD SPOT IN GOOD LAW.

Il serious question has arisen over
the Interpretation Of that section of
tie PRIMARY election law providing
for the nomination Of the superior
court Judges and the supreme court
will be asked to pass upon it before,
the time for the September primaries
Under the provisions of the law the
result of the primary determines what
Judges are elected, and it is claimed
this is in direct violation of the con-
stitution, which provides that the
general election shall be held in No
vember.
1t is believed by many prominent
attorneys that this will make that
part of the law relating to the judi
ciary unconstitutional, but that such
a decision will not affect the rest OF
the law. 1t is hardly reasonable to
expect that the new law will not con-
tain some defects, but SO long as the
general principal is maintained, the
results should be beneficial. The pro-
vision in regard to the judges, how
ever. appears crude and unjust and
certainly should be changed next
winter.-Chronicl

their friends, who were entertained
at cards as on the previous day, in
honor of Mrs. Owens. The hospital
ity and ability of these ladies to
make a success of any undertaking
is too well known to need comment
upon. 1t is unnecessary therefore
to say that the parties for Mrs.
Owens were most hugely enjoyed by
all those so fortunate as to be bid
den. Mrs. Frank Case and Mrs.
Walter Olive received pretty rewards
for their prowess at 500, and the
guest of honor, Mrs. C. E. Owens,
was presented with a handsome
hand-painted picture. Dainty re-
freshments were served at the con-
clusion of the games.

sing, and gave several numbers. One
gifted with a voice as rich and pleas

so doubly blessed as to be able to
accompany herself on the piano so
pleasingly as she. Mrs Charless
Merritt played several enjoyable
mandolin selections.
