him first one warm, sunny day when
the rest of his relatives were out gath

he was standing kidding with the
guards at the front of the hive.
He had a hooked body and long nat
wings. You know an old beekeeper
can recognize bees just as cowman
recognizes cattle. It's easy when you
learn how. After that first look at
Bum l got interested in him and used
to keep track Of his goings and COM
ings. They were worth watching.
The average bee travels mile a
minute. Bum never went faster than
ten miles an hour until he got within
ten feet Of the hive. Then he speeded
up and shot down to the door SO fast
you couldn't see him. The average
bee works himself to death in five
weeks. Fact! OF course, it doesn't
make much difference. because the
queen is busy laying eggs at the rate
Of 1000 day. SO there are always

until September. He had too much
sense to work himself to death. He
made about two trips after honey q
day. took things easy, and when the
winter rolled around climbed In with
the rest of the bunch and went to
sleep. He got away with the same
stunt the following summer. All the
other bees were dead before they got
wise to him. Bum slept through an
other winter. sneaked through another
summer and was starting out on his
fifth season when he fell in with bad
company. Maybe the other bees had
been knocking him for his failure to
bring in the goods don't know. Any
way. Bum got in with q bunch of rob
bers and started doing little Of 1t
on his own hook.
The robbers. you know. depend on
their stealing abilities to 'swipe'

'SAAW'S PURCHASE | b|G ADVERTISEMENT
Being Used by Settlement Organization to Interest
 Northwest Farmers

Advertising Alabama in the most ef- interview of Leslie M. Shaw, given out after completing a recent purchase of S50,000 worth of Alabama black belt lands. This interview from Governor Shaw was given out by the Alabama department of the southern settlement and development organizat ton, and it received very wide publicity, owing to the prominence of MT. Shaw, and the fact that he had backed his judgment of Alabama lands with a large outlay of money.
 In a more recent interview in the press of Iowa, of which state MT. Shaw was twice governor, upon his return from Alabama, MT. Shaw stated that he would like to bring a number of Iowa farmers to Alabama, and this additional statement is now being used by the Alabama de- partment of the southern settlement and development organization in interesting farmers from the northwest generally in Alabama. It is the purpose of the Ala bama department to raise sufficient funds to print in pamphlet form the proceed ings of the meeting of the last annual session of the Alabama Land congress held in Birmingham last November, and add these recent statements of Governor Shaw. When this Is done, 1t is thought 1t will prove to be one of the most valu- able advertising mediums ever gotten out in the interest of Alabama. Governor Shaw's statements regarding Alabama lands were given to the committee from the Panama canal colony, which visited this state last week. seeking suitable lands for colonizing after the work oi the employees on the canal Is completed The statement Is made that this commit tee was strongly impressed with not only this statement of one of Americas richest and most successful farmers, MT. Shaw but with their own inspection of tht lands, with the result that substantial colony is expected to be located in Ala bama in the immediate future.

GRAVES WILL ISSUE CALL NEXT MONTH New Executive Committee Will Not Convene Until
 Last of June

Montgomery May 24.-(Special.) Bibb Graves, chairman of the new democratic executive committee to- night announced that he would not is- sue call for the first meeting until late next month He said experience had taught that 1t would be better to wait until decisions had been made about contests and that the conve- nience of members would be con- served by waiting and allowing one meeting to clear all business before the committee.
 The new committed will not con- vene earlier than the latter part of June" said MT Graves. From eX- Darience. We can anticipate some minor contests and believe that the conye- nienee of the members will be con- served by waiting to call the meeting until the time for filing these contests has passed
 Thus the committee may be able to dispose of all business at one session. Before issuing the call I will, of course. confer with each member and try to fix a time of general convenience.'
