and carries it along to another, thus carrying on
her part of natures plan. The value derived from
the cross fertilization of blossoms in this way is
probably much greater than that of all the honey
and wax made by the sum total of all the bees in
the country.
1t is practically impossible to grow cucumbers
in the greenhouse unless bees are depended upon
to fertilize the blossoms, and so the market gar
deners are obliged to yield tribute to this useful
insect Even in the dead of winter, with snow
drifts six feet high outside, thousands of bees are
to be found flying around in the great glass houses
where cucumbers produced for the exclusive
winter trade. It is true that the bees get but lit
tie nectar from the blossoms and have to be fed
on sugar strip, but they accomplish the purpose
of transferring pollen from one flower to another.
OF course this work might be done artificially.
That is, a man might go from one blossom to an
other with a small brush and transfer the pollen,

AVOIDING FRICTION AT HOME
Wife Of Man Prominent in Public Life

About Correct.

The wife of man just now very
prominent i'm national affairs has been
talking to reporters. She believes
that marriage is good for men in pub
lie life. And she thinks there should
be no friction in the home. The lady
says:
THAT is what Try most to do. to
avoid friction. My duty lies in my
home. Our home life is Il very happy
one. l am chiefly interested in that,
as l have told YOU. l try to keep it
calm and normal, whatever the Situa-

1t is not necessary for a woman to

DRY thus outlined. If it We're possible
to discover the facts it would be
found that most of the men who

skillful, calm and quiet care of their
wives in and for their homes.
Man is usually an unreasonable and
often disagreeable animal. He means
well, and hopes for the best. but it is
easy to offend him, and those he loves
best are likely to suffer most. The
wife who can understand him and will

By JOHN BARRETT, in the Review Of Reviews.

These are the times when everybody should
be studying 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 tie
material, social and political relations OF North
and South America.
The next ten years are going to be "all Amerl-
can" years. 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 potentialities 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
mean 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 it 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

II. C. Frick, the steel millionaire,

"In an old-fashioned village there
was movement on foot to purchase

bees are used the fruit is always misshapen, but
the winter strawberries sell for dollar or two Il

Perhaps it may he said without getting anybody
Tito trouble that the free of water by spray
ing makes possible some of the remarkable eX-
hibitfOns which bees occasionally give. Water is
not always used, by any means, but when it is the
bees are rendered surprisingly tractable and doc
lie. There are no bee tanners, however, who
are not stung at times. Indeed, they may be
stung very often, but they Injured to the eXpe-
rience and do not even vince. And, of course, an
experienced beekeeper learns how to handle bees
without making them angry. Furthermore, some
bees are much gentler than others. Many times
it is good plan to kill the queen in 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
q 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 at 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 sirup if no honey
is available. Equal amounts of sugar and water
NAV be used and it is best to have the water
warmed but the sugar should never be melted on
the stove as it is likely to be burned. The strip

ADVANTAGES Of the Telephone.

Evan B. Stotsenburg, attorney general, tells a
story concerning the early days of the telephone
in New Albany.
A character of the town, who operated an 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

Lord kitchener was very harshly
criticized the last two years of his life,
but he could not complain, for he was
always very harsh critic himself.

South Africa to take charge of the

he was supplanting said to him:
"Well, how do you propose to reor-
ganize the transports?
