DIR. A. Y. Cartwright Is entitled to
precedence as the leading bee cultur-

quite a small way few years ago, and

The transformer house at the Ia
vora mill was struck by lightning yes
terday afternoon and set on fire. An
alarm was sounded at once and the

proposes to discharge the duties that
have dcvolved upon him as thorough
