CARRIED THE HONEY BACK
Bees Proved They Had Something to
Say About the Disposition of
Their Product.

A farmer possessed a few swarms
of bees which he kept in what are
called box hives. Inside there were
small boxes, which would hold about
two or three pounds of honey each, an
exchange says. About eight of these
were placed on the top of the hive, and
as at least one side of each box was of
glass, the keeper could easily look
into the hive and see when the boxes
were filled with honey.
The farmer usually chose to do this
early in the morning, before the bees
came out to begin the labors Of the
day, or at night when they had fin
lshed them. Bees do not like to have
their dwelling places molested, and
usually try to sting the intruder.
One day some friends were at the
farmers house and as they wanted
honey the farmer thought he would
venture to take it out in the after
noon. He knew that some of the boxes
were quite full. The hives stood a few
rods from the house, and on that side
ing into the cellar. While the boxes
were partly of glass, the bottom Of
each was made of little Stats, So that
the bees could go in and out as they
liked.
The farmer took out several boxes,
carried them into the cellar, shut the
cellar doors nearly together, and bur
ried away. He put the boxes into the
cellar in order to allow any bees
which might be in them to fly out and
return to the hive. But, in his haste
to avoid being stung, the farmer left
the doors open too much, so that the
cellar was quite light, whereas it
should have been dark.
The bees were so excited, and en-.
ragged that they flew in all directions,
attacking everyone who came in thei~
way. When suppertime came there
were so many bees flying about the
cellar doors that no one cared to &c
near them. Early the next morning
the farmer looked out Of the dining
room window and observed that the
air was still full of bees.
AT about ten o'clock he looked again
and not bee could be seen. He wen,
down and brought up the boxes. But.
instead Of being heavy with honey, as
they were the day before when taken
from the hive, they were almost as
light as air, being filed only with
empty combs. The bees had worked
with will and had carried all the
honey back to the hives.

MR.. HEPBURN ON THE CUR
RFNCY.

1t is pleasing to note the high praise
accorded to the History of the Cur
rency of the United States" by DR.. A.
Barton Hepburn, alumnus and friend of
Middlebury College. For example, the
New York Times says:
Nobody who follows financial subjects
can afford to be without this book, for
its current facts compiled by leading
actor in them, and for opinions on
them by student of principles. With
in the year it has been proposed that
cotton should be made the basis of a
national issue of currency, called money,
and Gotten paper actually was issued as
such locally. Eternal vigilence is the
price of financial security in country
so inclined to adventures in legislation
as this, and it is well that men like
DIR. Hepburn are on guard. The new
and peculiarly timely portions of the
book are those relating to the develop
ment of the Federal Reserve system
and the financial measures growing out
of the world war. The sources of the
history. and sequels of the panic of 1907

HIGHER PRICES.
Brattleboro Reformer.

A druggist in town who handles a
large Eprescription business says the
war in Europe has boosted the prices
in drugs so that they are in some
cases doubled, and trebled. He cites
one.partcular case where a prescrip-
ton that he has put up at a cost of
65 cents.F That same drug mixture now
costs'$2.# What is true of drugs APP
plies as,,well to fertilizers, metals and
scores of other articles. A year ago
copper was quoted at II cents a pound
and dealers were glad that it did not
go even lower. Today copper is quoted
at % IL cents pound and higher
prices are expected. The outbreak of
the war in 1914 disorganized the cop
per industry, but its continuation has
caused copper to reach the present
high level in price and demand. Both
American and European factories max
ing munitions are drawing heavily on
our copper supplies, as are many lines
of industry not connected with the max
ing of war materials.

TO CHICAGO AND BACK.


"Proprietors of mail-order houses
hundreds of miles away must at
times smile grimly on receiving orders
for goods by Bennngton-made fabrics.
One day last week Bennington, VT,
woman received from a Chicago house
a $500 purchase of goods. Upon I'M
wrapping the package the goods bore
the name of well known local manu-
facturer. Had the woman known that
the goods were made in town she could
have saved more than twenty per cent
on the purchase. The same may be
said concerning industries in this city.
A well known Trojan ordered some
seeds from W stern house last spring
and was much surprised when shipment
was sent to her from Troy concern.

There's sermon in the foregoing

times by all newspapers loyal to their

he is or is not, The News is not adj
vised. Mr.. Cady is not an office
seeker, as we understand it. He is
intensely interested in better rural
condi tons in Vermont, as is evidenced
by the honors paid him by the Grange.
He has practical ideas of road building,
is an indefatigable worker, with just
enough of the progressive spirit
admixed with the conservative, safe
andsane, pay-as-you- principle, to
make him most efficient aide to the
State highway commissioner. Mr..
Cady is probably not the only COM
petent man in Addison county for the

THEMSELVES TO BLAME.
sprIngneId Renorter.


Discussing the greed of the liquor
traffic the Middlebury Register well
says that the liquor dealers will have
only themselves to blame if the State
goes dry next March. 1t then goes
on to say that if the saloons "would
seek to confne their trade to the com
munlties that vote for it, the senti-
ment against them would not be so
strong. Instead they advertise liquors
in papers that circulate in no-license
towns. The evening trains out of
Rutland night after night distribute
DRINKS many Of them with bottles in
their pockets, in towns that have voted
dry. Scenes enacted in smoking cars
out Of license towns are making
votes for prohibition every day. If
the whole State goes dry, the Vermont
liquor men will have only themselves to
blame. " In other words, Give the
devil rope enough, and he will hang
himself And the State is going dry,
all right, and Vermont will be the first
of the eastern commonwealth to line up
against the legalized traffic in intoxi-
cants.

Ex-Governor John A. Mead has
placed the town of Middlebury and this
whole countryside deeply in his debt by
his gift of the beautiful chime of bells
which have been sounding so sweetly
over the village the past few days.
Their music delights the workers in
shops and stores, the laborers in the
fields, the travellers over the hills and
valleys, the sick in the wakeful hours,
not less and perhaps even more than
the Professors and students on the
hill. Henceforth one of the pleasant
memories of Middlebury will be the
bells which make sweet music from the
high chapel tower. Many man will be
led to pure thoughts and gentle feelings
by their solemn tones. The bell in the
old chapel tower-has it been bit
jealous these days?- has been familiar
daily sound in Middlebury for eighty
years and is still clear and musical. If
the chime, which was cast in the same
Meneely foundry lasts as long, who can
number the hearts that will be cheered
and softened by its music?

HYDE Park News and Citizen.

Ex-Gov. Mead of Rutland shows his
love for the young people of his city
by donating for their use a handsome
property in the heart of the city. The
property is to be used by the young
folk as community center with club
rooms, gymnasium, tennis courts,
ETC., " and will also be used "as head
quarters for various social and recrea-
tive activities" Although under the
general supervision of the Congrega-
tional church of that city, it will be
under the direct management of a
non-secterian board with liberal powers.
1t is estimated that when the buildings
are equipped and the grounds laid out
the gift will have cost the donor $50, 600.
This is splendid gift and shows that DR..
Mead has warm place in his heart for
the welfare of young people. Such gift
will not only have good influence upon
young people, but will tend to make
them good and useful citizens.

Vermont Phoenix.

John Abner Mead, ex-governor of
Vermont, was sometimes referred to
as human icicie by his political OPP,
ponents when he was a candidate for
high office. In view of Gov. Mead s
benefactions to Middlebury college and
his gift of community home center
for the young people of Rutland which
will furnish them place for whole
some amusement and recreation indoor
and outdoor, at a cost of $50, 600, we
rather wish that men of the Mead tenn
permanent and temperature were found
in every town in the State. Some men
wait to die before giving their money
for the good of others, but John Abner
is not of that type.
