Young Bees Transferring.

The first authoritative statement
concerning the progress made in
transferring members Of the knights
OF the Modern Maccabees TO the new
schedule of rates has just been made
public by A. M. SIay, Great Record
Keeper.
"Among the first thousand members
who have already transferred" stated
Mr.. SlaY, 1--WE have found that l3l
members or l3 per cent are between
60 and 10 years of age; 247 or 20 per
cent are between 45 and 60 years OF
age. while 622 or 62 per cent are As
years OF age and under. 1t was feared
by soche that we would lose our young
er mem bers, but these figures abso-
lutelf prove the contrary. These facts
and figures also confirm the claim that
all members were treated fairly in
the re-adjustment OF rates. We are
convinced that the permanence and
prosperity of the Society is already
assured"

h. Importers Tactics.

The ways OF the importers are
strange and incomprehensib To the
man iu the street.
New York papers have been specu-
latipg on the reasons that led fruit
importers to ship thousands of boxes
of lemons from Sicily to New York
and then re-expOrt them To Canada,
Hamburg apd other foreign markets.
One explanation was that this was
done while the tariff fight was on at
Washington, and lemons being too
cheap In eastern markets TO permit
the importers to allege that the
tariff was showing prices up too high,
they tried TO create a scarcity by di =
writing lemons To other, and more pro-
Btable markets, aud cause the price

give them an argument. They show

prices he convinces no one. The
reader argues that anyone can use
these catch words aud thy prove

The most successful advertising is
not apt TO sound like an attempt to

of facts. The reader is given mater
