peaches. 1t is the latest and most
dainty product from the critic and

Juice Of ripe peaches in the country.
Honey has been produced in many
places made partly frCG, the nectar of
peach blooms, but not before from the
ripe fruit
On Mr.. NIirablc's ranch he 0ro-
duces large quantities of honey each
year from alfalfa and mesquite
blooms, and thus far the bees have
been satisfied with that sort of mate
rial This year there has been an
abundance of both kinds of blooms.
but the bees decided to try ripe
peaches.
Recently Mr.. Mirable found the
bees at work in his peach orchard. On
some large peaches he found as many
as a dozen bees hard at work They
were able to puncture the skin of the
peach and not harm the fruit. and get
all the peach juice they wanted
For three weeks he kept a close
watch and the bees have worked with
great diligence in the big peach or
chards through the valley near Arte
sia They have stored the peach
sweets in the hives at the ranch and
the new crop of peach honey will be
ready for market during the coming
month. The first TO lie taken will be

IN order 90 wiz in ,ra next national
election The Isluc Tic party must be-
organized. Now is the time TO under
take the organization of Democratic
clubs. Eleventh hour organizations, of
the mushroom variety" are all right
and do good work, but victories are not
the result of chance-they are the re-
suits of organization, of careful plan
ming, of thorough equipment and of
concerted action! The National Demo
cratic League of Clubs and the FEEDER
ated State Leagues invite all the pro-
gressive young men of the country to
join their ranks now. The league is
practically a young mans organiza-
ton, 1t appeals to them for support
and 1t relies on them to help carry
out its plans-whatever victories or
rewards follow will be theirs. Now
is the time for the progressive young
men of the country to get busy If they
want to contribute to the perpetuity
OF Democratic institutions.

Presidsnt 10 Forced to Make Tour Of

Shortcomings OF His
& Party.

In an address to the Democratic

ter Harrison OF Chicago summed up
the political situation as follows:
In the last few years the people OF
this nation have been awakening to
the insincerity of Republican plat
forms and the insincerity of Repub-
hcan pledges. The most notable ex-
ample, the one known to all citizens
of the nation, is the downward revi-
sion plank of the last Republican con-
vention and tho action of a Repub-
Hcan senate, of Republican presi-
dent. Republican congress in dealing
with that question; an action which
today causes the president of the
United States to be making a tour Of
the natio with an apology for his
part In it.

than that, the nation has selected a
Democratic house OF representatives
and that magnificent body of true
Democrats in its last session showed
to the nation the difference between
the way In which Democracy handles
Its party pledges and the Republican

These are days, my friends, when

in Illinois wonder what has become of
our party. We ask ourselves what, in
