WAS AN INVENTIVE GENIUS
Man Devised contrlvance for Riveting
Knobs on Strings Of Honey Bees
Why II Failed.

THAT man once invented great
iabor-saving device that he expected to
make him rich. but his hopes all came
to nothing"
what was it?"
1T was contrivance for riveting
little knobs upon tn, stingers Of honey
bees. thus rendering them harmless.
He got his idea from seeing a COW with
knobs on her horns to prevent her
from goring."
why was it that his invention
didn't pan out?"
That was the strange part Of It.
You see, bees are queer things. AS
soon as he would get his little knob
fastened upon the stinger Of a bee the
blamed thing would just sit around,
tapping on the floor of the hive with it.
Before he had completed his invention
no bee had ever. been able to make a
noise of that kind. Well, sir. all the
bees that had knobs on their stingers
just seemed to give up their ambition
as honey gatherers, and there they
would sit, proudly drumming on the
floor OF the hive, hour after hour
while the bees that didn't wear knobs
would hang around listening instead
of going about their business So he
had to give it up; but | understand
that he's working on new thing
which he expects to turn out much
better"
What is it?"
Its a machine for fastening fish
scales together so they can be used in
stove doors in the place of isinglass."

burglars Entering Home Where

While Alfred Shafer, IA years OF
age, and his younger sister were at
their home at 1411a South Second
street, Salt Lake City, alone, prepar-
ing their lessons for the next days
school session, they were startled to
hear someone creep softly up the back
way and try key in the lock. Whis-
pering softly to his sister to remain
quiet, the boy slipped into the next
room and taking down the receiver
called Main 8, and notified the police
that he and his sister were all alone
and that someone was trying to get
in. Two policemen were sent on
motorcycles to investigate. However,
the click of the telephone bell when
the boy hung up the receiver must
have notified the marauder that his
presence had been noticed, as no sus-
picious characters could be found in
the neighborhood, although the child
ren's story was substantiaed.

ton here and there, but in 1909 this
new enterprise was undertaken on a
commercial scale, with results that
were entirely satisfactory.
Early in the the year Joseph B..
Lotus, who is recognized as the
founder of the cotton industry in I'M
perial valley, brought from the south
a car load of cotton seed, which was
distributed among some 40 ranchers
with the guarantee that their crops
would be ginned if it proved success
full. Those who were not discouraged
by the pessimistic talk of their neigh
bors but planted their seed and cared
for their crop, reaped ample reward
for their pains. There were 1900
acres planted and the crop which
was cultivated and harvested aver
aged about one bale and half to the
acre. The stalks, which grew from
8 to feet high, each carried from
100 to $50 bolls and produced a
beautiful snow-white silk fiber.
This 1909 cotton crop was practi-
cally an experiment. The growers
did not know the best time for plant
ing or for irrigating, nor did they
know just how much water 10 use.
The seed was imported, and it has
been demonstrated that such seed will
not produce as abundantly as seed
that has become acclimated. Yet, not
these disadvantages, this
first crop netted a handsome profit,
some growers doing much better than
others.

estimate, 10000 acres have been

California Going Raise Cotton

The Imperial valley in southern
California offers varied opportunities
for the growers. In this vast empire
it is conservatively estimated that
SIS, 100000 annually may be realized
from the production of cotton alone.
This suggestion is greatly emphasized
just now by the announcement that
John Cudahy, the rich Chicago pack
err, has bought 100000 acres in that
section for the purpose of raising
cotton.
The growing of cotton in the I'M
perial valley, Cal, was tested on
sufficiently large scale in 1909 to
warrant the statement that a new
industry of the greatest possibilities
has taken permanent root in that
state. Prior to that year there we're
some desultory experiments made in
the growing of a few plants of cot
