EMMETSBURG MAN
SOLVES OIL PROBLEM

Emmetsburg, Nov. 26.-Dr. O'Brien
has procured "a new apparatus for the
auto. It uses two-thirds kerosene an
one-third gasoline, which reduces the
cost of the fuel one-half. He says the
change gives the auto more power and
speed. The cylinders do not carbonize
and there is no smoke after the ma
chine is in motion. The adjustment is
on the dasher of the car and can be
regulated after starting as desired
The advantages of the late invention
are the ease with which the car can
be started and the reduction Of the
cost of the fuel.

IOWA BEE KEEPERS
HAVE GOOD YEAR

Atlantic. Nov. 26.-Twenty of Iowa's
leading bee keepers have produced
more than quarter of million
pounds of honey the past season, &C
co1ding to figures compiled by Frank
c.. Pellet, the state bee inspector. Ac-
cording to the last census only one
state of equal area ranks ahead of
Iowa in the value of her bees and if
the careless bee keepers can be awak-
ened to the possibilities of better
methods, Iowa will shortly head the
list The crop reports reaching the
state bee inspectors Office show re-
rlarkable results in Iowa this year in
spite of the long drouth.
B. A. Adrich of Smithland, produced
more honey this year than is produced
in the whole state of Rhode Island and
the District Of Columbia put together
as shown by the late census report. F.
W. Hall Of Colo, produced more honey
this year than is produced by the en-
tire state of Urth Dakota, with
liberal margin to go OH.
II all the half million colonies of
lees in Iowa had received the same
attention given by the twenty leading
bee keepers, Iowa would have produc-
ed fifty million pounds Of honey this
year, which is near the average for
the whole United States as reported
by the census.
T. w. Blackman of Nevada, sold
eighteen hundred and thirty-three dol
lars worth Of honey from forty-seven
colonies. ]. H. Fitch Of Bedford, sold
four hundred and ffty-flve dollars
worth from forty colonies. Similar
reports are coming from all sections
of the state. When Iowa gives her
bees the same care she gives to her
hogs she will lead the world In honey

WATER FOUNTAIN
FOR HONEY BEES
Neglect to Provide Drink Is as
CuIpabIe as to Cut off Their
Food Supply.

We take pleasure in kindness in va.
rious ways to the higher domestic an.
imals. well knowing that there is profit
should extend to the bees may come
as new thought to many.
Neglect to provide drink is as cul-
pable as to cut off the food supply
and yet the bees are in, many in.
stances, wholly disregarded in this
respect.
Yet the insects pluckily shift for
themselves in such cases, and they
may be found congregated about the
vilest spots. If they happen to contain
moisture, not because they do not pre-
fer pure water but because it is not
convenient to obtain.
You may have noticed how they in
variably flock about the watering
trough, If 1t happens to stand in the
neighborhood of the hives, showing
plainly that water is necessary. and
can you fail to appreciate how many
are drowned in this effort to get a
drink?
fountain for their special accom-
modation Is SO easily made that 1t Is
really wicked as well as wasteful to
neglect it. Cover pan or other shall
low dish with wire screen cloth and
keep the dish filled with water. plac-
ing it in shady place where it will
keep as cool as possible. The bees
can get the moisture through the
screen and yet there is no possibility
of their drowning.
Another hardship through pure neg.
lect, and one which often results dis
astrously, Is a failure to keep the
grass moved in front of the hives.
How would you like to have such an
obstacle in your path when coming
home tired and heavily laden?
Ease and convenience applied to the
work of every helper is not without its
reward.

This water may be returned to the
beans by soaking them over night in
luke-warm water. In the morning the
beans will look Just as they did when
just full grown and when served like
green beans the difference will be diff
ficult to tell.
There are many varieties OF each
kind-the running and the dwarf, or
those of the bush form. l grew the
King of the Garden, one of the large
pole varieties, for several years and
found 1t very good as to yield and
quality.
next tried Salem Improved Lima
and found 1t to be better bearer and
one Of the equally as good flavor as the
King of the Garden. Now We have
the Giant Podded Pole Lima and the
Evergreen Pole Lima. Burpee's and
Maul's Introductions. Both Of them
are fine beans and prolific. and profit
able to the grower.
The pole limas are better yielders
than the bush variety. but there is
more labor attached in growing the
pole variety; however. the difference
in yield overcomes this to great
extent.

REALIZE VALUE OF
BEAUTIFUL YARDS
Farmers Gradually Awakening to
Importance of Ornamental
Part of Farms.
cBy r.. G. wEArHERsroNE)

The baroness of the average farm
dooryard is a notorious fact In this
country. But within the past few
years the beginning of change has
come.
Farmers mere and there are begin
ming to realize the value of the orna'
mental part of farm life-the beauty
part of which has heretofore been lost
sight of In the grim struggle for land
and dollars.
Now that the land is gained and the
dollars are rolling in, the longing to
fix things up a Bit is uppermost.
So, dotted at irregular intervals
around the country one can now see
beautiful examples of ornamental
yard-planting- reminders OF
what the United States may look like
when a majority of the farms are
similarly adorned.
And each present beauty spot is an
example and an incentive to the for
nation of other beauty spots; each
farmer who fixes up his yard un-
consciously Influences his neighbors
to do likewise.
Why not start an example this year,
right in your own yard? Don't wait;
order few plants and vines from a
reliable nursery. Here is a good list
of varieties to select from:
Vines-Crimson rambler. climbing
rose; yellow rambler. climbing rose;
prairie queen, pink climbing rose;
clematis. Jackmanii, purple flower:
clematis, Paniculata, white flowers;
honeysuckle, red or white flowers;
wisteria, Chinese. blue flowers.
Shrubs-Althea. pink or white
flowers; Spirea, Van Houtte, whi.o
flowers; towering almond. pink or
white flowers; hydrangea, Paniculata.
white flowers; SNOWFALL, Japan; white
flowers; lilac, purple or white flow
ers; syringa. oblata or Pubescens.
white flowers.
Set the vines around the porch, and
mass the shrubs together In two or
three large beds at the sides of the
yards Cut the grass, fix up some
neat walks-and you have laid the
corner stone of much future enjoy
ment. q.

LETTERS TO EDITOR
"Need of a Man"

| To the Editor of The Age Herald
Please permit me to commend the edi-
torial in today's Age;H Herald entitled,
| Need of a Man." I know of no service
that could be rendered Alabama at this
time that would prove of more genuine
value than for every newspaper in the
state to republsh that editorial and dwell
on it's true import.
I know of no state that has more TO
gain from constructive policies at this
time than Alabama, and yet the people are
diverted from the golden harvest such
policies under proper leadership would
bring them, and they are promised instead
policies of hate, of strife, Of antagonisms
and destruction
Alabama Is the richest state in this
union In undeveloped resources and the
people need man who will lead them into
the development of those resources, which
will require policies of peace rather than
those of strife, policies of construction
ia ther than of destruction.
You say truly that If the state could
speak: Its cry would be for rest mean
ing rest from that class of agitation
As | see it, ii is nothing short of a crime
against this great state to not advocate
the improvement to the utmost of these
resources which the God of nature has so
lavishly bestowed upon us as a people.
Communities are like individuals if they
neglect opportunities for material adj
vancement that lie open before them. a
life time of vain struggle to regain those
opportunities often Is the result, and Ala
bama just now has opportunities of de-
velopment that will lead her into wealth,
fame and power If she will but embrace
them. Let us all fervently pray that God
may send us a man capable of leading
into constructive policies, and that He
may deliver us from all who advocate
contrary policies. N. r. THOMPSON. .
