Around the Honey Makers.

Comb honey that is to be sent to
a distant market should be shipped
before cold weather. since the combs
become extremely fragile when cold.

promptly and breed from the best you
can secure, thus raising the standard

The young bees. Matched from Aug.
I on, constitute the colony to be
wintered, and for this reason It il
wise to see that much brood is ready,
even IL you have to resort to stimu-
lative feeding.
AS rule, bees cast prime swarm
as soon as the first queen cell is sealed
unless prevented by bad weather; there
fore the first young queen may be ex-
pected to emerge on the eighth day
from the first swarm.

In certain space their inmates can

there are some trees. shrubs or the like

either, and the absence of that always
helps to make bees better natured.

C, 0. P. NOT RESPONSIBLE
F.. FOR HIGH COST OF LIVING
RISE IN PRICES SHOWN TO BE UNIVERSAL
THROUGHOUT CIVILIZED WORLD.
DOUBLING Of COLD OUTPUT THE CAUSE
Heart To Heart Tain on Conditions ii: United States
and Comparison With Other Countries.

, not responsible for the present condi-
tion of prices.
The proof is this: the rise in prices
is universal the world over. The
same condition that exists here, ex-
lists in Germany, France, England
Austria, Russia, in China and Japan
All nations and all people are affect
ed alike. Prices of foodstuffs have
scared in Holland, free trade coun-
try, and in France, which enjoys pro-
| lection.
Now then: is the republican party
to blame for the high cost of butter
and eggs in Spain? Is President Taft
responsible for the high prices in
China? Riots and revolts have oc-
Cured in number of European cit
| les, but it remains for the political
orator in this country to charge the
present administration for their oc-
currence. Common intelligence can
see that where the evil Is an inter
national one, the cause-at least the
main cause-must be of an interna-
| tional character.
1t is agreed among the leading
economists of all nations that the
large increase in the worlds stock OF
gold is this one, great international
cause.
Gold Is the measure of all values.
X is the medium Of exchange. II the
production of gold exceeds that of
another article, then it requires more
gold to purchase that article. 1t is
then that prices increase.
Let us give you few figures: In
1900 the worlds production of gold
was 1855 500; in 1911 it was esti-
mated at $i61, 900, 100000, or almost
double the amount! Aside from this
general and international cause, the
situation in the United States has
been aggravated by other reasons.
Thus, for instance: the population IN
the United States from 1900 to 1910
increased 469 per cent; the cattle
only IA per cent for the same period
More people to feed and less meat to
| feed them on. Wheat and corn only
increased 1.6 and 1913 for the same
pSiiOus AiC thCoC ldCts HUI
Taken in connection with an ever in
creasing gold output, do they not ex-
plain the rise in prices?
In the last ten years the population
in the cities increased 34.S, while tie
rura Inhabitants show an increase OF
only 11.2 per cent. Does this not ex-
plain, in a measure, why the produc-
ton of food stuffs has not kept pace
with the growth of population? We
could go on and give figures and data
and statistics, pages long. It would
be accumulative. We have shown you
how utterly foolish is the claim of
those who would want to blame the
republican party for the existing high
prices A. 40 would vote against
President I'm because butter is S5
cents pound
But the man who stops and thinks
for second will not be Influenced by
any such ridiculous talk.

TRUSTS ARE FOR 7. R.
Their Directors Contribute to His
Campaign Fund.
Harvester Trust Perkins and Steel
Trust Munsey Give Him
Half of Total Amount
Contributed.

Roosevelt's cry of stop thief" has
not succeeded in diverting public at
tention from the liberal support which
he Is receiving from the big trusts.
Among the significant contributions to
the third party campaign funds the
past week were those of George w.
Perkins, a director Of the Harvester
Trust, and Frank A. Munsey, Of the
Steel Trust, for $4,000 each. Perkins
says that more will be forthcoming
when needed. He cannot be, charged
with ingratitude.
The Harvester Trust was organized
during Roosevelt's administration with
paper capitalization of one hundred
and thirty million dollars. The tangi-
BILE assets upon which this vast
amount of watered stock was issued
millions of dollars. Ex-senator Hans
brough of North Dakota declares that
word from Roosevelt, who was then
president, would have prevented the
formation of this great combine. But
the word was not spoken. The deal
went through and the farmers who buy
Harvester Trust implements have been
helping to pay the dividends on this
extra one hundred millions of watered
stock ever since. Later in the Roose-
welt administration the department of
Justice, on its own initiative, was
about to begin prosecution against this
trust for violation of the Sherman
law. But Mr.. Perkins appealed to his
friend, President Roosevelt, and by
the presidents personal order the pro-
ceedings were stopped. Mr.. Perkins
has not been a power in the White
House during the present administra-
ton, and by direction of President Taft
a suit is now pending to dissolve the
Harvester Trust. Is 1t any wonder
that Mr.. Perkins contributes. literally
to the third term campaign fund.
And is 1t any wonder that Mr. Frank
A. Munsey is equally liberal, when II
Is remembered that he Is heavy
stakeholder in the Steel Trust, whose
Golfers were enriched to the extent of
sixty millions of unearned dollars by
the absorption of the Tennessee Coal
ehu haoh OOhpohy, It's nOoI udn6Oi-
Gus competitor-an absorption which
recent congressional investigation
declares to have been plainly against
the law, and which never would have
been made except for the promise OBJ
tanned in advance from President
Roosevelt that the law would not be
invoked against 1t.
These are not campaign ISLANDERS.
They are acknowledged and undis-
puted truths. And they are set down
here merely to make 1t clear why Il
happens that George w. Perkins, a
director of the Harvester Trust, and
Frank A. Munsey, heavily interested
in the Steel Trust, can afford to be
generous with their funds In financing
the third term campaign. They found
Colonel Roosevelt a friend indeed
when he was last in the White House,
and from their point of view they are
fully warranted in drawing upon their
plethoric bank accounts to put him
back again.

michigan Automobile Output
Nearly $3.50, 600, 900 Annually -
I Under s Per Cent Tariff

y Michigan leads the United States as
q manufacturer of automobiles, acces-
soCies and parts. Ohio, the next larg-
est producer, is outdistanced three to
one. The thriving industry in Mich
igan was made possible by the protec-
tive tariff. In no other way could the
manufacture of automobiles in this
country have been made possible, for
even with the tariff, foreign competi-
ton Is very keen.
The annual output Of our factories
has reached $165,115,000 and over
$S4,o00,OO0 worth of accessories and
parts. The industry employed 9,233
salaried men and 1881 workers
drawing the highest wages paid any
where in the world. The staving off
of an importation of cheaper ma
chimes manufactured by the ooorly
paid labor of Europe could never have
The Owosso times. (Owosso, Mich.) 1897-1926, 1912-10-04

been possible without the As per cent
protective tariff imposed by the Re-
publican administration.
The demand for labor in the motor
car shops has resulted in the increas-
ing Of wages in every other industry.
1t has brought prosperity. Every farm
in the vicinity of an automobile town
in Michigan has been increased in
value. Many farms have doubled in
value. The price of farm products
has increased for the simple reason
that there has been q greater demand
and more money with which to buy.
Now the Democrats of Michigan are
readily Joining in the free trade pol
icy advocated by the national demo
cratic party. And a few Republicans
are really thinking seriously of help
ing the Democrats to victory by vot-
ing with the third party. Do you want
the tariff taken off automobiles? That
is tust what tho Democrats are prom
Using to do.

Hano Up the Scythe.

1t is undesirable to leave a scythe
lying about, yet it is equally difficult
to find a suitable place to hang one.
To hang 1t on nail is to risk dulling
the blade. while to hang it in the
crotch Of tree is detrimental to the
trees welfare. However, there is a
way. Obtain V shaped crotch from
an old limb, cutting one fork about a
foot in length and the other about six
inches. The rear side Of the long fork
is then trimmed down slightly so that
it can be nailed uprightly to fat
surface. This will form permanent
place for the scythe. where the blade
will not get dulled nor fruit tree be
injured.-Farm and Fireside.

POLES THEATRE

This afternoon at Poli's saw the first seock performance in New England of 1, Ma dame x.'' Henry W. Savage first
 brought the play out in this country with Dorothy Donne1ly in the stellar role and there has been no waning in the popularity of the piece since. Mir. PoH has always been desirous of secur- ing the best for his Bridgeport patrons and the announcement that Madame x' will be produced at his playhouse this week at popular prices is suffi- cient proof of this fact, especially when it is taken into consideration that ing the country at advanced prices.
 The story of Madame x' is an unique one in every detail. It con cerns a young woman named Jacque- line Floriet, who deserts her husband and f1ees with dover. Some time af- ter she. returns home and begs to be permitted to see her little son who is dangerously III. She is denied this fa- vor by her unrelenting husband and she goes back to her lover, Laroaue. In the first act, a scene at the Inn twenty years later. she learns that Laroque is planning to expose her past and blackmail her husband. Rather than have this news reach her sons ears, she shoots Larouue. The scene in the French court room where she is being tried for murder under .preesive and vitally interesting ever produced any stage. Madame x sits in the prisoners dock, her face showing the effects of drugs, which she uses to make her forget" patient .ly waiting for the verdict and mak-- ing no effort to defend herself Tine play comes to a grippingly intense eli max when RayYmonde F'loriet. a young lawyer who has been assigned to act in her defense, learns that Madame x, whose life he has been fighting for is his own mother.
 Miss Frances Nordstrom will have the opportunity of her career as Jac- oueline F1oriet, later Madame x. MT. Van Beuren will appear as her dover. Larouue, while MT. Harrington will play the deserted husband. MT. Kent and MT williams as two trickster law yers will furnish the comedy relief in inc play. MT Fox will be seen as the young lawyer and all the other mem bers of the company will have inapor- +ant and interesting parts

THE STOCK MARKET
CT. L. Watson 6 co.)

Domestic conditions are strong and even inc prospect of an extraordinary session of Congress to revise the tar if may not put much restraint over business at least for long time to come. The verbal pledges given by President-eIect Wilson should result in a revision of moderation, while the impulse imparted to industrial and commercial revival by the great crops by no means can lose it's force early. Monetary conditions, however, are hardly such as to warrant an exten- sive speculation and the large inter ests are inclined to insist on conserva- ttsn1. This policy will rebound to the strength of the situation after the an- nual settlements are effected. The facts and outlook, therefore, warrant the maintenance of holdings, but inn may be gradual and depen- dent more upon investment forces than upon active operations of a more spec ulatiVe nature.

 This newcomer was a man who in any company would have seemed striking. In complexion fair, and with blue or gray eyes. he was tall as any viking, as broad in the shoulder. He was smooth faced, with fresh skin and well developed figure. His air of self confident assurance seemed that of a man we'll used to having his own way. As he stood, distinguished in appearance, he had a half savage look, as though ignorant or scornful of the tenderer ways of civilization. A leader this man might be, a poor follower al- ways.
 Yet the first words he uttered show ed the voice and diction of a gentle man. "AIy dear captain he began, extending his hand as he approached. "I am indeed charmed! I must claim the pleasure of having met you once
