BILLIONS OF BEES.

rate of 10 cents a pound it was worth

Of the country had worked as industri-
ously and sknIfuIly as did the bees the

three times as great and the value $751;

Not only did the little workers con-
tribute that vast supply of a pure deli
cious food product to the nation. but
as they made IL they treated it anti
septically with formic acid, thus pre-
venting impurities or decay.
In one year the bee hives sent to mar

than the rye crop, and nearly s.. 600 600

DICK NOT PLEASED;

Ohio Senator, Alleging Federal

Senator Dick OF Ohio has entered a
protest at the Postoffice Department
against the appointment OF William B.
Morrey, as postmaster of wapakoneta.
Ohio.
The appointment it is said. is the re-
suit OF a recommendation by Chairman
Williams. Of the Ohio Republican com
nittee. This in addition to the fact
that the Senator received his infornla-
ton from the newspapers led him to
express himself freely in regard 10 the
policy Of the Postoffice Department
Senator Dick declares that his obiec-
ticn is not personal, but that he will
make fight TO his rights as Senator.
Amel H Mosher, ch-irman of the
Auglaize county committee, was nom
mated for the Wapakoneta postofice

one Of three that were summarily re-

NeZU Idea Strikes Hot Springs,
But If Is Doomed to Slaughter
ReSiduary Legatee, Senator Bournes Latest Child,
Cannot Find Ready Godfather in Presden-
ha Candidate Taft
By JAMES HAY, TR.

HOT SPRINGS, Va, July 1S.--An idea
Is in our midst today. 1t is not a deep
throated, militant idea. but it is an
idea.
1t arrived last midnight, safely bun
died up and protected from the heavy
mountain dew II is taken care of in a
most particular manner by its father.
The father is Senator Jonathan p.
Bourne of oregon, whose other idea,
the Roosevelt third-term thought. met
a sudden and decisive death in early
infancy.
This second idea is that William How
ard Taft should put into his speech Of
acceptance a specific promise that he
will not try to choose his successor in
the White House. Senator Bourne has
come out for such a statement in a
published interview He admitted to-
day that he still favored It.
1t is thus that an idea is in our midst
today.
It's Father" Arrives.
It's father" came on the scene to-
day. wearing a fuzzy Norfolk jacket
and carrying a pocket full Of cigars
He still had the idea well wrapped up
and protected from the early morning
observer that the Senator fears his
second great idea in American politics
may meet a death as horrible and as
sudden as that which came TO the
first idea. Only, in this instance, he
has offered no 81 900 prizes to the person
writing the best essay 70 prove that the
idea is a thought instead Of a dream
Senator Bourne is a reluctant talker.
When approached by newspaper men
he exhibits all the symptoms OF great
fright, but he is a brave man and
fights the fright away. Therefore. in
reply to a series Of questions, the Ia

plan:

idea ont of its habiliments Of fine linen

Mr.. Bourne will impress upon the
candidate that the idea. II = is allow

lean conscience as its saviour from ty-
ranny and despOtism. He has given
the idea for its first name 'Residuary,

family name OF Bourne, in keeping with
the Senator's sense OF modesty, has
been left OF.
