GRAND JURY
REPORT.
Calls Attention to Sunday Viola.
tons and Wants Road Con-
tractors lacked Up.

We, the Grand Jury for the June
A. D. 1916 term, beg to report a:
follows, to-wit:
We. by committee, have exam
ined the county farm, the county
poor house, the dockets of the
justices of the peace, the county
officers books and the receipts for
liquors delivered.
We find the county convicts In
good condition, apparently well
fed and looked after, and as salts
fed as they could be as prisoners.
The crops are In good condition
and we believe the county has an
excellent man as guard In Mr..
Sam Trim.
Some of the justices of the peace
did not have their civil dockets
before the Grand Jnry and we
could not examine these dockets;
therefore, the next grand jury will
have to examine the ciVii dockets.
In some instances the cost bills
were not made out on the dockets,
some of the judgments were not
signed and In some cases the names
of witnesses were not entered; but,
as a whole, the dockets were we'll
kept.
The county poor house we found
to be In good hands-the inmates
we'll cared for. We recommend |
that the board Of supervisors have
some necessary repairs made, as
some OF the rooms leak and one
Ioile. needs immediate attention.
We looked at the county officers
books and believe that they are
correct, but Your Honor knows
that in such a short time as the
Grand Jury sits We could make no
correct examinations.
We found the receipts Tor liquors
delivered from all the express of
ices in the county, except from
Carlisle; and we request that the
proper officers see that the Offices
hereafter deliver the receipts
promptly, which we believe to be
within three days after delivery of {
liquor. We note that some receipts

taking honey out is trouble at all, when bee
escape is used for the bees do not even know
what is going on.
The best way to begin Bookkeeping is to buy
colony or two from some up-to-date apiar1st in the
neighborhoOd but a hive full of bees can be
shipped by express or the insects may be bought
by the pound if one already has an empty hive.
Indeed, this is practice which is becoming very
common for even experienced beekeepers often
invest in one, two or three-pOund packages of
bees in order to build up weak colonies. 1t is not
an unusual thing for bees to be shipped all the
way from Texas to Canada.
Sometimes wild bees may be captured in the
woods and brought home. Although called wild
bees, these honey makers which are found in logs
and hollow trees have escaped from captivity at
some time, for there were no honey bees in this
country until they were brought here by the Pill
grim Fathers
If the farmer owns more than half a dozen colo
MES of bees it will pay him to get an extractor.
This is simple device for separating the honey
from the COMBS the latter being placed in a
frame which revOlves at high rate of speed,
the liquid honey being thrown out of the wax cells
by centrifugal force, just cream is separated
from milk. Then the combs may be put back in
the hives for the bees to fill again. The farmer
usually get more honey this way and will
have less Swarming.

sive to be feasible. 1t has to be done in green
houses where strawberries grown. for when
bees are used the fruit is always misshapen, but
the winter strawberries sell for dollar or two a
pint
Perhaps it may be said without getting anybody
into trouble that the free use of water by spray
ing makes possible some of the remarkable ex-
hibitions which bees occasionally give. Water is
not always used by any means but when it is the
bees are rendered surprisingly tractabe and doc
lie. There bee tamers however, who
are not stung at times. Indeed, they may be
stung very often, but they Injured to the expe-
rence and do not even vince And, of course, an
experienced beekeeper learns how to handle bees
without making them angry. Furthermore some
bees much gentler than Others Many times
it Is a good plan to kill the queen in a cross col
ony and replace her with young queen from
quiet colony Yet the cross bees are likely to be
among the best honey producers in the apiary.
Many farmers fail to succeed with bees simply
because they neglect to learn anything about their
management 1t is true that bees do not require
a great amount of attention and do best when
left alone most Of the time. Yet there are GER
tain things which have to be done just the right
time and in just the right way. These are the few
things that the farmer should know about. In
early spring, for example, the bees may easily
starve to death for lack Of stores although they
may have come through the winter safely In that
event they must be fed on sugar strip if no honey
is available. Equal amounts of sugar and water
may be used and it is best have the water
warmed but the sugar should never be melted on
the stove, it is likely to be burned. The strip
NAV be given in of several different kinds of
feeders but few are better than a shallow pan
from the ten-cent store with little excel
sior in it for the bees to walk If this pan
filed with strip is placed on top of the frames

Advantages of the Telephone.

Evan B. Stotsenburg, attorney general, tells o
story concerning the early days of the telephone
in New Albany.
A character of the town, who operated office
in rooms just above the livery stable, was i'm
pressed with the benefits of the telephone and
had one placed in his office.
Meanwhile the new-fangled instrument also
went into the livery stable Then the town char
acter sat down and waited for someone to take
advantage of the new instrument. No one did.
One day the telephone bell in the livery stable,
however, rang with all its might.
Hello" yelled the livery stable proprietor.
Hello Yourself" answered the voice of the
town character, upstairs.
Just pass me the broom up through the front
windows, will your" said the voice.-IndianapOlis

the cross fertilization of blossoms in this way is

: Our Opportunity In Latin America ::
BY JOHN BARRETT, in the Review of Reviews

BY JOHN BARRETT, in the Review of Reviews.
These are the times when everybody should
he studving the twenty American republics lying
south of the United States. These are the days
of UNPRECEDENTED and legitimate opportunity in
Latin America for the commercial and financial
interests of this country This present year
should be the beginning of a new epoch in the
material. social and political relations of North
and South America.
The next ten wears are going to be "all Ameri-
ran" wears All America is TO attract the atten-
tion of all Americans This new development is
inevitable The cause is found in the natural
wealth resources and potentalities of Central
and South America their actual commerce and
trade their remarkable progress during recent
years together with the unceasing propaganda
of the Pan-American union. which was at first
even ridiculed and little appreciated. but is now
generally valued and recognized. The occasion
of this new interest at this moment is the Euro
peau war and the emphasis it has placed upon
the geographical segregation and commercial soil
darity of the nations of the western hemisphere.
Consider Latin America in any phase one pre-
fers and il is worthy of keen interest Let us
first look at it geographically and physically. We
see twenty countries ranging in area from little
salvador with less than 5000 square miles, or
smaller than Vermont up to mighty Brazil, with
100000 square miles or greater than the United
States proper with Great Britain thrown In In

A Defense of Poetry.

Poetry is the record of the best and
happiest moments of the happiest and
best minds. We are aware of evanes-
cent visitations of thought and feeling
sometimes associated with place or
person, sometimes regarding our own
mind alone, and always arising unfore-
seen and departing unbidden, but ele-
waiting and delightful beyond all ex-
preston; so that even in the desire
and regret they leave. there cannot
but be pleasure, participating as it
does in the nature of its object. 1t is,
as it were, the Interpretation of a
diviner nature through our own; but
it's footsteps are like those of a wind
over the sea, which the coming calm
grasses, and whose traces remain only
as on the wrinlzled sand which paves
it.-Percy Bysshe Shelley.
