BEES KEEP
RESIDENTS in
NEAR PANIC
Take Refuge in DENIES Rain
Spout, Causing Postpone
ment of Wash Day
WILL DROWN THEM OUT
UNLESS OWNER TAKES THEM

The neighborhood of Third and
Adams streets is i'm a state of siege
because of the presence there Of
swarm Of bees. countless in number,
which swooped down from clear
sky about 2 O'Clock yeterday and
slighted on a rain spout in the rear of
the home Of Charles Dennie, at No.
309 Adams street A small hole
about midway up the spout was the
attractive point and the number of
bees in the swarm can best be judged
from the fact that they fill the RAIN
pipe from one end TO the other. The
spout is at least twenty feet long.
AS a result of the visit of the busy
workers. wash-day in that section Of
the city has been definitely post
poned A number of women in the
neighborhood attempted to begin the
family washing this morning, and af-
ter several of them had been stung,
a general lay-off was declared. The
women then occupied places Of
vantage in second story back win
dows, protected by screens and
watched the efforts of resident Of
the Eleventh ward, a native of ire
land, TO whom the bees belong. to hive
them, and were greatly amused at the
antics Of the old man, who was as
sailed by some bees that objected to
teing removed from their new home.
All Efforts to hive the honeymak-
ers this morning were unavailing and
another attempt will be made this
afternoon. Meantime the people IN
the neighborhood are leading a miser-
able existence. The windows In the
rear of all the houses in Adams
street and also some on Third and
Fourth streets have to be kept closed
in to prevent the bees from invading
the homes. This, together with the
heat today, has served TO make the
inhabitants of that particular locality
very uncomfortable.
When the bees appeared at the
Dennie home. yesterday afternoon
Lemuel Watson, boarder in the
house was taking his Sunday after
, noon nap in the second stoy bach
room. The windows were up that tbs
breeze might have easy access. One
window is located at the rain spoui
where the bees landed and within a
few minutes hundreds of the insects
had invaded Watson's room and when
awakened Watson found they were
swarming all over him ard the bed
It took Just one leap for him to
reach the door and down stairs he
went pell nell, giving the alarm as
he ran. Mr.. and Mrs Dennie beat a
hasty retreat and the boarder later
consoled himself with a cooling bath
It was sometime before any one would
venture into the house and close the
doors and windows.
William A. Coke, an ice cream
manufacturer. at Fourth and Adams
streets, was appealed to, but all he
said was; you had better let then
alone" This advice was followed by
a majority OF the pecsle, though sew

FARM BOOKKEEPING.
~ You Don't Keep Records, How Do
Yeu Know tho State of Your Affairs7


II there is any business in the world
needing a set of books it is the farm.
A fairly accurate bookkeeping plan
will cause the farm to make more
money. because it will show up the
Improbable undertakings. and this
showing will naturally cause the farm
er to give his attention to those things
which are revealed as profitable. On
this matter of bookkeeping Andrew
Boss of Minnesota says In the Kansas
Farmer:
Farming is now considered as a
business. To be successful as bust
ness man the farmer must adopt bust
ness principles. He should know the
cost OF production of the various farm
products and which products can be
grown and sold at the greatest net
profit and with the least draft on the
resources Of his farm. He should
know what he has invested in his
business and the rate of interest his
Investment is paving; also whether he
himself is earning anything or wheth-
or his income is earned altogether by
his money. II the latter. he may as
well invest his money in 6 per cent
mortgages and take il easy himself.
'Thc Only way to learn these facts
is to take an inventory OF the farm
and equipment. Start n simple &C
counting system. carrying it through
the year. and taking n balance at the
close OF the year. The accounting
system need not be complex nor the
labor exacting. Jan. to April is a
good time to take an inventory. as the
stock Is ut its lowest usually during
that season. There are many simple
forms of accounting suitable to the
farmers needs. any one of which
forms may be used
THE winter season offers many
spare moments for studying these sys-
TENS and putting one of them into use.
Why not utilize the moments and do
something that will be useful and at
the same time add to the knowledge
OF the farm business? Often a grown
son or daughter may be induced to be-
come the account keeper. thus getting
n good business training and improv-
ing the minl at the same time. And
1t Is surprising how much use will be
made OF the facts recorded when once
available"
