PRESIDENT WILSON AT WORK.

The president is on good terms with
the newspaper men and has the res
pect and admiration ofrofficial Wash
ington. While the people in Washing
ton scarcely regard him as a favorite,
yet he continues on his even course
imperyious to local popularity, realiz-
ing that the District of Columbia is on
ten miles square and an unsafe place
to guage the trend of national thought.
His methods of working are dis
tinctly his own. Before writing his
messages, he makes notes." usually
in shorthand, for Woodrow Wilson is
still in practice. The rough draft of a
state paper, written in shorthand and
labelled in long hand, is transcribed
with the exactitude of the stenograph-
ic cipher. Admirers find firmness of
character indicated in his shorthand
notes, with fine and even shading in
the strokes and circles above and be-
low the line. The clearness of the
Graham characters is in sharp con-
trast with the goose quilts Of Jefferson
and the steel pens of Cleveland. In the
presidential methods of today are
utilized the business-like click of the
typewriter, though, mind you, this
dictator makes his own notes-he die
tates first to himself.
Interlining in the typewritten copies
of his message indicates the "Presi-
dents instinct to edit his own stuff"
as they say in a newspaper office. All
this leads up to good story Of hav-
ing a President who takes dictation
from 'the people" who expresses the

Rotting Apples.

Considerable quantities of apples
are often left to decay in orchards.
These should all be gathered and eth
er made use OF or destroyed by being
buried deeply or by being burned. A
great many of them contain worms of
the coddling moth, the insect which
makes worny apples. The sooner
these apples are removed after falling
the better, because the worms crawl
out and hide in the pupa form until
spring. If the orchard can be fenced
off so that sheep or pigs, or even poul-
try may be allowed to roam at will,
the number Of insects that will live
over winter will be very greatly re-
duced, because the pigs and sheep will
eat the fruit and the poultry will catch
q great many of the worms as they are
hunting winter quarters.

oped (bumble bees and honey bees)
that are supplied with apparatus suit
able for collecting and carrying pollen
from flowers &c all forms or designs.
What are known as mason bees and
leaf-cutters have the ventral surface
Of the abdomen furnished with long,
stiff, retroverted hairs, which, point
ing the wrong way, brush the pollen
from the anthers as the insects pass
in and out of the flower. Grains of
pollen become entangled among them
and by this means they are transport
ed elsewhere, the hairs on the abdo-
men Of such insects adapted for the
fertilization of flowers having a broad
and flat corolla, and the reproduce
tive organs being protuberant or con-
spicuous.
If the hinder legs OF one of the hairy
bees be closely examined when return
ing home, it will be seen that they are
thickly bespangled with grains of pol
len, to be afterward transferred to the
pollen baskets; ii is these stray grains
of pollen attached to the hairs that are
utilized in pollinating the receptive or
gans Of blossoms.
The hairs on the hinder legs of one
Of the humble bees, the arrangements
Of the pollen gathering hairs, are car
ried out with greater perfection, but
the hairs are distributed in the same
irregular manner as in the hairy bee
already referred to.
In the ordinary honey bee the pol
en-collecting hairs are much better
adopted to their designed use than is
the case with the former.

Edgar Kllborn Writes to Banner

Edgar Kiiborn Writes To Banner
Bedding Banner
Gentlemen:
A few days ago ! saw number Of
letters in the Banner from different
parties stating why they went to
church. / read every one and was the
most pleased with Mr.. Laphams but
did not see one word about letting
their light shine. The reason l go to
church is to let my light shine so that
others may see by my good work that
there is something better for men
than to spend their time playing cards
and going to festivals and all such
things; that they should not go to
church TO visit and laugh and flourish
ones self as some do and then go out
and cheat their neighbors in weights
and lie to one another about each
other.
But says one, How can a man live
clean life without being converted"
He can't, so help us God.
Repent We therefore and be con-
verted that your sins may be b1otted
out so as to be ready when the refresh
ing comes from the presence Of the
Lord"
There was never q Weakening of
Gods power without the presence of
he'll fire being preached TO people. No
need TO be afraid of hell fire if men are
clean in their lives and holy in all
manner of conversation as the Bible
says they shall be. Some men are
preaching they have committed all the
sins in the catalogue but murder and
have retained their religion, showing

that they never were converted, never
had change OF heart.
No wonder infidelity reigns so high.
The Bible says let no filthy commun-
ication proceed out OF your mouth.
Now why does II? 1t is because OF the
filthy heart or affection. Why do peo-
pie lie? Because they love TO. no other
reason whatever. no other reason. The
truth is better than a lie any time.
Perhaps 1 had better let this sermon
suffice for now and IL you wish to print
this you are at liberty and you can
sign my name to II in as big letters
as you wish.
Yours respectfully.

Bees as FertiIizins Agents.

The influence OF bees on crops is not
wen enough appreciated. Pollen is the
vital agent in the production of all
fruit crops. There are many methods
provided by nature TO bring about
this union in plant life, but in nearly
all of them, with the exception of the
union that is produced by insects it is
extremely haphazard.
In referring to the bee as a fertiliz-
ing agent, IL must be understood that
not all or every variety of bees, al
though both honey and pollen gather
ers, are capable of general fertiliza-
ton. 1t is only the most highly devel-

IRON ORE PRODUCTION
BREAKS PREVIOUS RECORD

TIE quantity Of iron ore mined in
the United States in 1913 is estimated
by f.. F.. Burehard, of the United
State Geological Survey, to have been
between 58.000.000 and 10000. 900
long tons. This estimate is based on
preliminary reports from % of the
largest iron mining companies. which
represent the principal iron produe-
ing districts and whose combined out
put is about 81 per cent of the total
iron ore mined in 1912.
The average increase in output
shown by these % companies was 5
per cent over that for 1912. and if this
increase should be maintained by all
the iron companies in the United
States the total output of iron ore for
1913 should reach 50, 1000 long tons.
At any rate, il appears almost certain
that the former high record of iron ore
mined, 81 ,014,096 long tons in 1910.
has been surpassed in 1913. The Re
ports received for 1913 showed eonsid-
cradle variation in the percentage of
changes in output compared with 1912.
the maximum range being from a De
crease Of 36 per cent to an increase Of
Sc per cent These apparently wide
variations were evidently due TO con
ditions affecting particular companies
rather than TO general or even local
conditions of the iron mining indus
try; moreover. they concern for the
most part. the operations of companies
whose production IS not sufficiently
great to affect largely the grand total
tonnage.
In the Lake Superior district. where
about s. per cent of the domestic iron
or is mined. the increase in production
correspondent closely with that for the
United States in general, or about s
per cent. thus indicating a total pro-
duetion for that district Of about 80.
600. 900 long tons. compared with 40
36s,s7s tons in 1912. The veal 1913
is therefore a record year for produc-
ton and shipments in this district
also. The preliminary figures indicate
that the shipments of Lake Superior
ore by water will exceed 40, 900, 000
long tons, which, together with the
all-rail shipments of more than $780,
900 tons, brings the figures for total
shipments of Lake ore very close to
the tonnage of ore mined and indi-
Gates that not much change has oe-
Cured in the stocks of ore at the
mines in the Lake district. These
stocks amounted at the close of 1912
TO about 100000 long IONS of ore.
In the Birmingham district, Ala
bama, the production of iron ore in
1913 as indicated by the preliminary
returns was about 10 per cent greater
than than for 1912. In Tennessee
there was apparently a slight decrease
and in North Carolina 2 slight in
crease. New Jersey and New York
both showed slight increases, while
Pennsylvania showed a slight de-
crease. In the Rocky mountain dis
triet of Wyoming, Colorado and New
Mexico there was a slight decrease.
The types Of iron ore produced com
mercially consist of rel and specular
hematite, brown ore, magnetic and
stitsiderite, or spathic ore. Hematite
about 90 per cent of the
Only a very small fraction
of | per cent of the output is siderite,
