which the little insect played was not
even realized by the growers and as
years passed and the honey trade fell
of the bee industry was abandoned
and with it came q shortage Of honey
bees. The lack Of honey bees has been
discovered to be the underlying cause
Of the failure Of the 1915 melon crop
on the island. The role which the
busy little bee assumed was that Of a
pollinzer. AS he flew from blossom
to blossom he brought about the polli-
nation which Is necessary to the for
nation of the melon but this year the
bee has been noticed by his absence
and with vines ten to twelve feet in
length without melons 1t would appear
that this theory is correct.
It is stated also that the continued
rainy weather while 1t aided the
growth of the vines worked to the
detriment Of the crop as the frequent
showers prevented the proper blossom
ing Of the plants.

and then refusing to return verdict. is
not common but it comes once in a
while Yesterday a jury was called in
the justice court to listen to the evil
dence in the beer seizure case which
has attracted statewide attention. 1t
proved to be sparring match between
the six attorneys representing the de-
PENDANTS and the county attorney.
Justice Kimball asked the defendants
to introduce evidence to show reason
why the property should not be con-
fiscated. They refused to introduce
evidence until the state had offered
what they had The state held back
and had nothing to offer. Attorneys
for the defendants addressed the jury
calling attention to the spectacle pre-
sented by the state and plead for the
release of the 119 barrels which was
seized from the two express company
offices and the two railroad depots.
The county attorney resisted in an
argument full of ginger.
No instructions For Jury.
The justice looked thru all the books
at his command and he could not see
how he was able to instruct or en-
tighten the jury and they retired for
deliberate ms. They finally decided
that there being no evidence it was inn
possible fer them to decide on any
question ard they so informed the
court and we're dismissed. The six
lawyers, the chief Of police and cap
tain, the justice and some more digni-
taries are in conference hoping to ad-
just matters so that there will be no
further test Of the new prohibitory law
