BUSY BEES IN WINTER.
How They Generate Heat to Keep the
Colony Warm.

The bee ppholdS his reputation for III
dustry throughout the winter months
as we'll as during the summer Being
susceptible to cold. thl<bee must turn
to his colony for warmth. Commun
ism, which in bees is 50 highly de
yelopcd in the storing Of food and car
ing for the young, is also the basis for
the heating Sy>tcn.
1t was found by experiment that
only the shell Of the cluster made by
the bees in cold weather is compact.
This is formed by one to several lay
ers of bees all solidly arranged with
their heads inward. their hairs inter
lacing. This arrangement is perfect
for conservation Of the heat within.
Except for an occasional shifting OF
position the bees forming the she'll are
quiet. But within the she'll strange
things are going on.
1t is here that the heat is generated.
And the antics are not unlike our own
when we are cold. The bees are pack
ed loosely within the shell so that
there is plenty of space for many bees
to be exercising at time. Rapid
tanning Of the wings. shaking the body
from side to side, rapid breathing and
other movements are all part of the
scheme for raising the temperature
In one particular instance. when bee
had been rapidly tanning with his
wings for seven and a half minutes,

No one can answer the question
positiyc,y as to whether it is cheaper
than cottonsccd meal. for the simple
reason that our inquirer does not staie
the price. either OF this feed or OF cot

1t is quite safe to assume, however
since this feed is made up of cotton
seed huus alj meal and only con-
tains about one-haI the protein con-
tained in h;gh-2rade cottonseed meal,
that it is not cheaper than co5tonseed
meal.
1t is one of those so-callcd cotton.
seed feeds which, while complying
with the law, because the laws are
detective, are put on the marke., be-
cause the manufacturers know that
they can get more for their hulls and
meal mixed in this way, than they can
get for them sold separately. They
mercy take advantage of this igno-
rance or careclessness O. the buyers
and the defective laws to sell a pro-
duct for more than it is worth. Csu-
ally these so-called cotJonseed feeds
contain only a little more than one

A Card to Owners
of Rural Telephone Lines

We are anxious to see that all lines owned by
other parties and connected with are kept in such
condition to furnish efficient service. Where the
owners of rural lines responsible for their upkeep
we want to cooperate with them.
All lines require thorough overeauling occa-
sonally if the best service is to be obtained. We
recommend that every line connected with US be
overhauled at least year, and that at least one
experienced telephone assist in this work. The
cost of this work when divided among all the patrons
of the line, makes the amount paid by each man
SMALL and this cost will be more than Offset by the
improved service. r
If the owners of rural telephone lines in this
ton are experiencing trouble with their service,
will appreciate their talking the matter over with our
Manager or writing US fully. We will gladly do
what we can toward helping you improve the con-
dition of your line.

courage. but because. like the story
ho used to tell of the farmer who was
unable to remove big log from his
field and "ploughed around it." he
"ploughed around" many delicate sit
uations of state which required the
finest art of diplomacy.
Critical Period.
Lincoln came to the Presidential
chair at perhaps the most critical
lperlod of our country's existence. and
diplomacy in its rarest form was
necessary to save the Ship Of State
from destruction. President Buchanan
had practically conceded the claim of
the Confederacy to be recognized as
"a nation by the powers Of Europe,
thereby admitting that 1.-THE Federal
Government had no authority to keep
a State in the Union if it desired to
secede," and later had sent a message
to Congress throwing the burden of
the affair upon their shoulders. Eng
land and France heard nothing from
the United States on the subject until
late In February. when Secretary Of

Holland.
There was nothing to do, and as
IAN idle brain is the devils work
shop" some Of them became quarrel
some and the Hollanders had no lit
tie difficulty in keeping order in the
camp. Finally there came the inspec-
ton by the Rockefeller Foundation
War Relief Commission, and they de-
cided that the refugees must be given
some work as the long idleness was
undermining their energy. It was then
decided to establish working camp
at Rotterdam where the women might
make clothing. Accordingly. sewing
machines, cloth. muslin, etc. were
provided and the women of the camp
set to work with a will making under
wear Those who could not use the
machines were given yarn and they
have knitted hundreds of warm gar
ments.
Holland Prepared.
That Holland is uncertain as to the
attitude of Germany toward her is
shown in her preparedness. Although
a small country her resources are
surprising and everywhere one finds
storehouses being filled for use in case
of emergency. Indeed, all Western
Holland is a vast storehouse loaded
with everything necessary to support
the Dutch people and with a surplus
sufficient to meet the needs OF an
army during a years campaign. All
Eastern and Southern Holland Is an
armed camp where soldiers drill and
have target practice all day long. A
number of regiments are stationed
near the German frontier and the
whole border between Belgium and

Queen Opposed To War.
The Queen has always been OPP
posed to war, and while she believes
in preparedness only the direct ne
cessity would cause her to give her
consent to plunging her people into
war. She has taken the deepest in
terest in the refugees, and her sweet
womanly influence has been felt ir
the relief work. A woman of rare
good sense and tact, her people fairly
worship her, and what the Queer
thinks and what the Queen want:

lands policies.

Just before war was declared in
1914, reorganization Of the army was
pending, and 1t is now going on along
certain lines. A great deal OF target
practice Is in progress where solid
shot and shrapnel is being used-the
former at condemned armor plate and
the latter at dummies in the trenches.
The gunners are said to be excellent
and reveal a wonderful alertness and
execution in handling their pieces.

necessary. While great part OF this

Dutch are busy making ammunition

At present they are at work on shells
loaded with a certain new high explo-
sive. The arsenal at Amsterdam
where much of the ammunition Is
stored is closely guarded and prytng
strangers are not allowed anywhere
near the place. No photographing Is
allowed about the ammunition fac
tories and the greatest secrecy Is
maintained as to the character of the
explosives and the kind OF shell which
is being turned out. A sort of wave
Of preparedness seems to have swept
over the country ever since the inva-
sion of Belgium by the Germans.
The scheme of defense adopted In
1874 contemplated the concentration
of defensive forces in a restricted
district known as Holland Fortress
This comprises the provinces of North
and South Holland with parts Of Zee
land and Utrecht. Two-thirds Of the
area Is surrounded by the sea. The
land side can be rendered difficult of

his first Jobs was the splitting OF sew

has become famous in American his

ployment as clerk in grocery store,
but as he had already decided to be-

time In reading and In debates with

many Of the trials there. These legal

chance to distinguish himself as a

that Major John T. Stuart, of the

Mason and Slidden Incident.
A short time after this our Govern
ment was again involved In a COM
plication with Great Britain. This
was brought about by the jealous Of
fees Of Captain Charles Wilkes, Of
the gunboat "San Jacinto," who over
hauled the British mail steamer
Trent" and took from the passenger
cabin ex-senator J. NJ. Mason and
John Slidell, who had been accredited
by the Confederate Government as
ENJOYS to the European courts. These
men had eluded the blockade and
sailed from Havana. This act was re-
garded by the British Government as
an insult to their flag and violation
of international law, and the British
Minister was instructed to close the
legation and return to England un-
less the prisoners were released and
a satisfactory apology offered inside
a week. The delicacy of the situation
was added to by the fact that the Sec
rotary of the Navy had approved OF
the action Of Captain Wilkes and
Congress had passed a resolution COM
mending him for his patriotic con-
duct Again the President took the
matter in his own hands and a long
and courteous dispatch was prepared
suggesting that the matter be SUBJ
mitted to arbitration, but before it
could be sent Lincoln saw that the
position OF our Government was un-
tenabIe, and with his keen perception
he thought of way in which the
United States could honorably with
draw and at the same time use the
incident to our advantage and In the
end get the better of the controversy.

pointed Minister to England, could
reach that country an unfriendly
British ministry had issued a proc
lamation recognizing the seeding
States as a separate Government.
France at once followed England and
the relations between the United
States and these two countries be-
came strained. Lincoln knew that

Partnership With Major Stuart.
In 1894 he became member OF
the Legislature. and after serving two
terms he moved to Springfield. This
was in March, 1897, when he was in
his twenty-ninth year. He had little
money and little baggage to speak of,
but he found himself among friends,
and few days after his arrival he
became the law partner Of his for
mer benefactor, Major Stuart.
In 1S41 Lincoln became associated
with Judge Stephen T. Logan, one of
the most eminent lawyers Of his day,
and from him the young man learned
the great art of properly presenting n

A Man Of Plain Type.
Lincoln's witty sayings and humor-
Gus stories are now famous the world
over. AS an orator and debater he
had few equals, as his speech at

his historic political combat with
Stephen A. Douglas show. Yet with
all these talents he was man OF the
plainest type. always ready to do an
act of kindness. In the role OF po-

How Lincoln Won His Way As Lawyer and How

From Foreign Entanglements During the
Dark Days of the Civil War.

nERHAPS no man in our public
life was a better Judge OF hu-
man nature than Abraham
Lincoln. To his clear insight
into motives actuating human action
was due his success both as lawyer
and diplomat. In the days when he
was at the bar and on the frontier
law books were few and the lawyers
were thrown upon their own reason

ciples OF Justice and for the rules
which should guide men n their're-
lattons toward each other. It was the

and self-reliance.
Early Struggles.
Ancoln's early life had been one
long struggle. With practically no
education except what he obtained by
his fondness for reading-an unusual
trait among the pioneers of the Mid
die West, he fought his way up the
ladder to the highest Office in our
land. Up to the time his father moved
to Illinois Lincoln had made little
progress toward his goal in life-that
OF becoming a lawyer. After helping
his parent to clear the land the ambi-
tious young frontiersman decided that
