A Well.Organlzed Business.
fFrom Wallace Farmar.l


| When We read Of the strikes and bitter
struggles between capital and labor, oi
the poverty and suffering In the cities,
OF the strifes between individuals and
families, when We note the constant
effort of the rich to grind the poor; in
short, the misery of humankind, the
more APPALLING as we become better &C
Iquaintsd with 1t, all through lack of
perfect organization, We turn with great
pleasure to that best of all organized
industries, the production OF honey and
the perpetuation of the race, that is
going on in the beehive from year to
year.
| Here there is no boss. Every class
and every individual knows by most
wonderful instinct its place and its duty.
The queen Tor more strictly speaking,
the mother bee, for she exercises no
authority whatever) understands that it
is her business to keep up the supply of
eggs, keeping in view always the sea-
sons requirements. The greater the
flow of honey, the more eggs she lays.
As the flow of honey ceases, she reduces
the number, as though guided by wis
dom more than human.
This same queen bee has very clear
idea of her own dignity and Importance.
She permits no rival, but submits to the
restraint which the hive compels. and
when her oldest royal daughter comes
of age, with the rearing OF which she
has had nothing to do beyond laying the
egg, she makes virtue of necessity and
leaves the hive to her children, in order
to be independent, taking with her
sufficient number of the members of the
family with which she is best acquaint-
ed. She recognizes the fact that there
cannot be two queens in one hive, and
she must get out, which she does with
The best grace she can.
The younger bees understand perfect
ly that it is their business to take care
of the brood, and they do 80 without
instruction and without complaint. The
older bees, all of them undeveloped
queens, drones excepted, understand
that it is their business to make honey,
and no man in charge Of great railroad
or industrial corporation ever worked
more intelligently than do these same
worker bees.
The drone understands that he is a
gentleman of leisure, kept in excessive
numbers to make sure that the young
queen will be mated with some one of
them. They all seem to understand
that,after certain period their useful
ness is past. They then cluster them
selves on the outside of the hive and
perish. They have had their day, and
whether satisfied with it or not, they
simply submit.
This whole hive simply realizes the
dream of the most advanced sociologists,
when everyone will have his work, will
have an equal share in the results, while
those who cannot do anything, whether
through their own fault or not, to pro-
mote the welfare of the rest, miserably
perish. The ants probably have quite
as systematic an organization; and we
suppose it was probably because Solo
mon knew more about ants than he did
about bees and their ways, that he said:
"Go to the ant. thou sluggard;
Consider her ways, and be wise."

ton of Arbor day at the new Slauson
avenue playground yesterday after
noon. "They have a language, they
have poetry and music to give us
cheer" he continued.
Several hundred persons took part in
the ceremonies which were planned by
the Los Angeles Arbor Day associa-
ton, a permanent organization formed
for the purpose of observing the day
each year. The municipal playground
organization Joined in the movement
this year and took an active part in the
preparation of the program.
other speakers besides DR.. LYamb
were Mrs. II. Myers, who spoke on
THE Birds and the Trees; Rev. Will

beautiful manner the lessons which
may be drawn from nature, and Coun-
Gilman =. J. O'Brien, who told in p hui
morous vein of his adventures with a

advice upon the buying and planting of
trees.

Regular Arbor day comes in March,
| but for several reasons it was i'm
possible to observe it this year on that

of the day neglected, the Arbor Day as
sociation agreed to postpone it until

A number of organizations and citi-
zens planted trees on the playground.
The trees were provided on request In
