BEES ARE MOST PROFITABLE
Only Producers Known to Husbandry
That Yield Profit Without the
Cost Of Feed.

II people knew what a great source
OF profit is found In the keeping OF
bees and how interesting the work.
there wouldn't be an unused square
foot OF ground on any farm In the
United States.
Bees are the only producers known
TO husbandry that yield a profit with
out cost OF feed. They find their own
pasturage They multiply so rapidly
that they more than pay for the small
initial expense of housing them, and
the first cost of equipment is almost
trifiing.
Bee culture may be made profitable
by the children of the farm. or by the
women members of the family. It
may be carried on successfully in con-
junction with the keeping OF poultry
or the growing of fruit. In the latter
case, agriculture Is found to be a great
help toward more fruit and better
fruit.

The Lid.

- According to orders issued by the
federal Indian agents, the greater
part of northern Minnesota will be
dry by the first of December.
This paper is sorry to see prohibit
ton come in the manner in which it
has. It would have been much pre-
ferable to have seen the matter set
tied by the people with the ballot.
The present order Of things is unde-
mocratic. It is not right to force a
political condition upon a people
without their consent, is the opinion
Of the Grand Rapids Independent.
Nevertheless, this paper cannot see
that the clapping on of the lid, after
a couple of years Of the dry" con-
dition, will work any very serious in
jury to the country. To be sure, for
a time, a few individuals-a compar-
atively few-will suffer more or less
severe financial losses-for a time.
Rentals for business buildings will
not be as good as they have been. The
man who made his living will-for a
time-holler hard times and other
dire calamities. The man who drank
liquor, that's, the habitual drinker,
will also. join the "hard times"
chorus. But in time things will re-
adjust themselves. The men in the
saloon business will find other en-
ployment. The boozers will either
find that they can get along without
their booZe-or move to some place
where they can get it. It will be
surprising how soon the empty build
ings will be rented for some other
business enterprises. The money
Which has been spent in the saloons
will have to be spent somewhere,
. y'know.
OF course, it won't be all lovely.
2 There'n be b"ootleggers and blind
pigs and other similar institutions.
These, however, will be death with.
The public which has been arguing
for the saloons because of the revenue
for the liquor license will surely
turn against unlicensed drinking
places and cause them to quit doing
business. These forces, along with
public sentiment and the Indian
agents, should keep the ~so-called
