Operations of more serious i'm

the French apparently have made
considerable progress and they also
are making desperate efforts to sever
the communication of the German

Everywhere, however, siege warfare
prevails and for the most part the
gains made extend hardly more than

into his committee room one day and
announced that he had at last obtained
the iron fence around the old Penn

a cub reporter who happened to be
present wrote a story about the fence
and after stating the facts expressed
the opinion that it would soon adorn
one of the public parks in Burleson's
district in Texas.

story to their papers, and soon Burle-

controversy is liable to lead to

Americas Position.

The position of the United
States relative to the general
war in Europe must be one of
strict neutrality. Any other po-
sition would quickly involve it in
hostilities. Yet to maintain
strict neutrality the United States
must restrain its people in the
very opportunities which the
war opens to them. The United

that Congress is now in session,

has confronted the present ad-

Around the little things Of life
A world storm and sunshine lies,
Yet those too busy seldom see
The tired look in other eyes.
Around the little things of life
A wealth Of loving mem'ries center,
And joys undreamt of by the world
The humblest dwelling places enter
Around the little things of life,
Connected by thread so slender,
Are long lost smiles and bygone tears
Which helped to make our hearts more
tender.
Alas, how many things in life
Are those Of which we cannot boast!

How poor and weak they are at most
More full Of love. oh, may they be,
Less full of self as in the past!

Activities Of Bees.

What are bees for? ITO make
honey, of course" will be the
answer of ninety-nine out of a
hundred. That, however, is not
the chief work of the bees.
Scientists tell us that they do a
still more important work in fer
tilizing the blossoms they visit.
The value of the honey and wax
taken from bees in the United
States is estimated at $40, O0O,-
900. Some estimate the value
of their work as fertilizers at
500, 100000. All agree that it
exceeds 500, 100000.
Many men have found that
beekeeping and fruit growing
are practicable when carried on
together. 1t is generally known
that bees are useful in pollinat-
ing the blossoms of most fruits,
even if they are not actually nee
essary to a crop. They are mum.
erous in early spring when few
other insects are present in like
numbers. If continued damp
weather prevails during the pol
len and causing the setting OF
the fruit. The bees need pollen
to feed the young in the hive,
and they are especially active in
that season in obtaining it. They
are useful, too, in cross fertiliz-
ing such varieties as are sterile
unless crossed. 1t has been DEM
onstrated also that in the Guilt
walton of melons and cucumbers
bees are absolutely necessary to
good crops. 1t was long since
conclusively proved that bees
were not created solely to fur
rish man with q delectable sweet
but to increase the yield of edi-
BILE fruits.
