Mrs. D. F. Doughty, who owns the
bees that were formerly owned and
attended by her father, the late Sam
uel Everett, Fort Fairfield. now has
1870 hives Of the best Italian bees,
which will make two tons of honey
this year. Last year about ~ tons
were made. One year, with only 100
hives. 300 pounds were manufac-
tured by the busy little workers. Some
hives fill eight cases of "a pounds
each, 1879 pounds Of honey in one sea-
son. One swarm last year that came
off July 8 had IS pounds Of honey
provided in just 1S days afterwards,
besides filling box sk by IA by 1912
inches. Some 72 pounds were recent
ly taken from a swarm that came off
only this spring. This seems to be
hohey-making in earnest the kind
that pays.

lemons is Right. =

About the biggest joke there is
among Wisconsin newspaper men is
the effort Of the Wisconsin State Fair
to get free publicity by giving out a
few passes. Ex-Governor Hoard IS
paper, the Jefferson Banner, under the
caption Z" A Pair of Lemons has the
following to say about State Fair
passes:
Funny things come into an editor s
life at times, but it is not often that he
is the victim Of as much bunk as
comes to him each year with the com
planetary tickets to the State Fair.
Whoever got up those tickets had
ingenuity enough to contrive a rack
ing machine
When an editor gets pair of those
beautiful male an dfemale tickets
beautiful male and female tickets
(Which, by the way, are incapable of
mad In fact, they are SO bad they
are good, from the standpoint of
amusement to the public like the
The Telegraph-courier. [volume] (Kenosha, Wis.) 1888-1946, 1915-09-23

Cherry Sisters-and they are worth
describing. This year the male ticket
is terra Gotta and the female ticket
is an uncertain lavender (like the
famous coffin trim).
The male ticket takes in the editor
only. The female ticket is left blank
for his wife or any other woman and
this seems liberal and is probably
intended to make the editor put in
fourteen dollars worth of reading mo-
tees free. Each ticket is good for
five days. However, to make sure that
the editor doesn't save up his tickets
and use them all at once, as this would
break the fair, each ticket is dated
and can be used only on that date
This is what an editor cannot do
with those tickets: First, he cannot
afford to go but one day unless he is
rich enough to lay still. He cannot go
with man friend and get in even for
that one day. His wife cannot take a
lady friend in with her even for one
day. Unless his wife goes or he can
pick up some other woman, his four
teen dollars worth of notices have
brought him only a single admission
for the single day he is able to get
away from the grind.
What he should have and pay for
in service or cash is ticket for an
auto-load, say for one day of the fair.
This would mean only forty-two humid
red admissions instead of six thousand
as is now the pretension.
The six hundred tickets now issued
to the editors of the state may look
like six thousand free admissions to
the Fair management. But the in
genious hocus pocus has reduced it to
less than twelve hundred The word
Complimentary on ticket is an
insult after service has been well per-
formed, therefor. No editor wants the
Fair officers to give him anything.
He has too much self respect. He
wants merely pay for service and
proper pay, either ia negotiable tic
kets or cash.
This matter was taken up with
President Rewey last year and re-
form promised, but to no avail To
escape being called bean-heads the
next Fair management should begin
to reform their attitude toward editors.
They will reap a rich harvest in adj
vertising by SO doing. If they do not
reform they will reap only what they
have reaped heretofore anger in re-
turn for the pair Of lemons which they
have handed the editors Of the state
for many years.

Re.districting the city.

The most interesting and far reach
ing subject that has been Drought be-
fore the common council in a year,
came up on Monday evening when
Alderman Sullivan, in a rather mild
way, suggested the re-districting Of
the city.
Just what the council will do in this
matter is very much in doubt, but
there are several portions of the city
crying out for more equitable represen-
tation on the law-making body Of the
city. They may get it by re-districting
but the members Of the council must
consider this matter with all the wis
dom that can be brought to its con
sideration Kenosha has long struggled
with an excess of officials. Some peo-
pie thought that the panacea would be
found in the commission form. The
people went on record as being strong
Nv opposed to this form of govern
ment Some people still believe that
the real question at issue was be-
logged by other issues introduced into
the discussion of commission form as
a campaign issue. Most people feel
deeply that Kenosha public boards are
too large They are 50 unweildy as to
make legislation difficult and many
worthy movements have been thrown
into the discard simply because there
were so many people to be appeased
that the interests of the city at large
suffered from fractional differences.
A re-districting of the city along
present lines might bring more equit-
able representation to some parts Of
the city, but the judiciary committee
Of the council in whose hands this mat
ter has been left, could with interest
if not profit to the city, well discuss
some plan which would reduce the
number of aldermen rather than in
crease it. Four wards represented by
two aldermen each, or nine wards
represented by one each, would be
great Improvement over the present
form. Any move for re-districting
is certain to meet with some opposi-
ton, A fresh start is about the only
thing that would please all Of the men
to be effected and even with declara-

WITHIN THE Law NEXT MON
DAY NIGHT AT THE RHODE.
(NOT A MOTION PICTURE)

!. Within the Law is an effective
play. It shows the arrest of young
girl in large dry goods house for a
theft committed by another; her con-
viction, on eircumstantial evidence,
and her futile appeal to her employer
on her own behalf and that of her
shop companions. The scene In which
the heroine, while protesting her own
innocence, passionately pleads the
cause of underpaid saleswomen driven
by their necessities into shameful OF
criminal courses, is founded-in part
at least-upon solid fact, and supplies
a moving and impressive theatrical
incident.

ton for a fresh start and an entire re-
organization of the council there would
be some who would put political job
against equality in the city.
Kenosha has doubled its population
since the present ward lines were
drawn. The inequality Of representa-
ton has for years been known to the
members of the council The problem
of the remedy is not an easy one and
it will be hard one just as long as
sacrifice is demanded of some indi-
vidual oficeholder. One thing is GER
tain and that is the growth Of the COM
mission idea in Kenosha 1t is posi-
BILE that Kenosha is not yet ready for
commission government, but it is near
er ready now than it was two years
ago. Many men who thought two
years ago that Kenosha would lose it's
identity as city if the commission
form was adopted, today believe that
Kenosha would gain a new and better
identity. It's a good thing for people
to begin to think about what they will
do in case there is no re-districting
ordered by the council. The answer
is going to be found in the commits
sion form.
During the long winter months the
council members will have plenty Of
time to talk re-districting. The people
at the same time should be studying
the question Of commission form. The
two questions are properly considered
together and if the council can not
work out re-districting that will give
the people equitable representation in
the governing body of the city per-
haps the people can by their ballots
arrange for better and more equit-
able form under the law which gives
the people the right to declare in favor
of the commission form. A trial of re-
districting first might appeal to very
large number of people. Will it APP
