PREPARE FOR COLD WEATHER
Bees Must Be Given Proper Protection
Hen House Should BE Made
Snug and Then Whitewashed.

Where are the bees going to win

posed to the storm? II in the cellar,
a place should be prepared for them
now, so that when cold weather sets
in for good the hives can be quickly
placed in position.
Once more: Never set the hives
fiat on the floor of the cellar-as some
people do. Bees must have fresh air,
and be kept free from dampness.
Every stormy day in which the hens
are allowed to wander about without
shelter, adds to the discrepancy in the

DO CONSUMERS GET
WHAT THEY BUY?
BY James Troop, Department OF En-
tomology, Purdue University
Purdue University Agri-
cultural Extension.

We are hearing a great deal these
DAYS about the high prices which pre-
vail all along the line Of food prod
ucts; a steak which. few years ago,
cost 121a cents per pound. now COSTS
80 or IS cents, or even moro than that
where there is no competition. In
fact, the high cost of living is 1eit
all along the line and by all classes
of citizens 1t is not the high cost
of things which we wish to call at
tenticn to in this article so much as,
are we getting full weight or measure
of what we buy? Naturally, when
food products are low, we do not pay
particular attention as to whether we
are getting full weight or measure or
not. But in times like the present,
when a dollar goes very short way
I'm purchasing food supplies, 1t be-
hooves every one to see to 1t that he
receives full measure Many OF us
have become accustomed TO take TOO
much for granted, to accept without
question, whatever is given us. This
applies more especially to that class
of people who buy only In small guam
titles from day to day; and that does
not mean the poorer classes by any
means. because, In most OF our cities
and larger towns. this method is large
" the custom with all classes. How
many know that they are getting full
weight or measure? In how many
Kitchens in this state may be found

ages may be weighed as they come

could be saved in this way in a year
I'm each household would more than
buy a good set OF scales. besides the
satisfaction of knowing that one was
or was not being cheated. The gen
eral use of the Babcock milk-tester has
saved many thousands OF dollars to
the American farmer, simply by show

in every kitchen would stop many a
leak In the grocery bill Ii would
not affect the honest merchant but II
would affect the careless dealer and
cause him TO be more careful.
The legislature of Indiana has rec
ognized the fact that We have both ol
these classes TO deal with. In 1911
the legislature passed weights ano
measures law which was intended Il
remedy this evil OF short weights anC
measures. but every one who has
given the subject any thought, knows
that we continued to get short boxes
OF berries. and even those entrusted

law did not say that berry boz

 Kansas City and other places In Missouri and Kansas have been re- duced almost to half rations in ice an account of the long heated term.

 This means of course increased trade for the local merchants which in turn means increased trade for the whole salers of the larger centers and event ually this demand will be felt as far north as Philadelphia. New York and other centers of manufacture and trade. In fact the whole country will prosper In the prosperity of the South for where each section supplies some thing for every other section all must prosper in the prosperity of one. While the entire country will participate to I certain extent in the good times com ing to the Southern states 1t Is of course right there in the Southland that the bank balance will be most productive of good, It means more factories, more land cultivated, more building industry and more comemrcial activity and better wages. What more could any community ask as q sign pointing to year to come teeming with viril industry and legitimate prosperity won by the sweat of the brow from the fertile fields of the homeland?

NOME, ALASKA, SEPT. 23. 1913.

Bankers are ubjcctinE tu the cur rency hll because they claim that the central board of control. which does not actually operate bank, will not be able to keep it's finger on the pulse of business and finance. They point out that the needs of the banking world must be felt rather than seen They claim that the federal board sent to the banks will be influenced more or less by local conditions in the sec tions visited and will let the interests of their particular sections outweigh those of other communities.
 The majority of bankers agree that what is needed is a central bank con- ducted by the board of control to be z. clearing house for all other banks. Every regional bank should issue it's own currency, up to a certain limit, pay out over it's own counters only it's own money, but take in the currency issued by any other regional bank This, the bankers claim. should not be reissued by the bank that receives it. but sent to the central banE and cred tied to the local hank that submits it It is claimed that this would create an ebb and flow of currency controll- ed by actual supply and demand ana not by a board which would have tc be omnicicnt to pass intelligently or requests for currency made by lively, scattered regional banks.

Daily we have more and more evi- dencc of revival of prosperity throughout the nation. Good substan- tial prosperity that comes from pro- duction and business. Not the hectic prosperity of the gambler, not the prosperity that is dependent upon leg islation or political parties but pros- perity that comes from the ever fruit full cources of nature. To be sure there have been some crop losses in Texas and oklahoma but from other South crn states come reports that far out weigh these slight losses. Besides these losses in the Southwest are mainly in the cotton crop and will go far towards lifting prices on the pro- duct of more fortunate states. Every duce will be in instant demand and the fact that the whole of the reported crop of 15,000.000 bales will be re- quired for consumption during the year assures price that can mean nothing else than prosperity. The monetary results to the South as a whole will be even greater than from the bumper crop of 1911.
 Not only cotton but tobacco and corn in the Southern states are in the best of condition and the demand is such that the realization in cash will be enormous to the farmers in the Southern seaboard states. It is toe disturbances to interfere with the yield and this means that within few months the producers of the South will

The next step, obviously, will be
to ascertain how long severed organs

When this has baan accomplished,
sufficient data will no doubt have

preserve human organs outside OF
