Furnished rooms for rent: who
has furnished rooms for rent?
That is the question asked at this

poor to pay for advertising the

TIE THE HoRsEs-The runs,

TIE THE HORSES-The away
this morning made the third this
week and they we're all caused by the
animals not being tied. 1t is high
time that drivers Of horses when leav-
ing the vehicle should be forced to
tie the animals to hitching post OF
some other convenient place. The
runaway this morning WAS dan.
gerous proposition, and II anyone
had been coming down the side
walk in front OF the McCAndless
real estate ofiic., he or she might
have been ground to death. While
there are not 30 many posts
in Florence, this gives no excuse for
such carelessnss. A weight that can
be carried In the vehicle and tied to
long strap can be dropped on the
around.

EXAMINE BEES-Examine your
bees today and see # they have room
to store their surplus honey. My
bees are idle, lying in great punches
on the outside Of the hive and OIL ex !
animation find all the extra surplus
honey books are full and there is no
storage room left. The bees have
had a sorry time this year from
drouth and frost. but they have been
too sensible to swarm and start out
from the parent hive when their in
stinct told them that there was no
honey to gather. Since the rain and
the large growth Of sweet clover. hon
ey dew. alfalfa and other bloom,
times have changed with the busy bee
and he is now storing honey see that
he has room to place it.
