The Cure for the Press Agent Evil

MR.. BERT M. MOSES of the Omega Chemical %. is
1Vl of the opinion that the requests for free publicity
which sent to the newspapers every year would
cupy space worth 1851 100000 if it all printed This
is about double the value of all foreign advertising that
is placed.
Of it does not all get printed but enough OF
it does TO constitute serious waste Of space In sum-
ming up what can be done about it, Mr. Moses says:
Publishers not exactly sandbagged, but when
the press notices sent out there is ntmation,
less veled that the notices should be printed
because Of paid advertising to come.
Only few papers strong enough to tell the
seeker for deadhead readers go to Aveus and take
his readers with him.
The great majority are afraid of being cut off the
advertisers list if they refuse to give space away, but
this fear is really unfounded
The papers which get good money for their adver-
Using also get most Of the business that goes out while
the many who free readers get only part Of it.
Many publishers do not to know that the only
papers enjoying the full respect of advertisers the
papers which do not print free puffs while the papers
which give to the press agents old thing they ask
for fall in esteem in proportion they fall for the graft
The remedy for the deadhead reading notice abuse
is the remedy is required when you want to stop
swearing smoking drinking
It is simply quitting the thing cod-simply stop
ping simply saying, elm through and nothing
The only way to stop thing is to stop it.

IOWA BEES
NEED HELP
Starved Colonies Likely to Result,
State Experts Say, In Review
Of the Present .
Season.

Because this summer has been a
very poor one from the beekeeper'5
standpoint, many thousands of colon
les of bees will starve this winter I'M
less they are fed and properly cared
for this fall, advises the state apiar-
list at Iowa State college.
Honey production has been below
normal everywhere" he says. I'm
some parts of Iowa the bees have not
gathered nearly enough honey to car
nv them trough the winter. With
honey selling at prices from twenty
to fifty per cent higher than usual
and with prospects Of these condi-
tons continuing, it will pay every
heekeeper to be sure his bees are
prepared to survive the winter by
feeding all colonies enough food
Each colony should have at least
thirty pounds Of stores for winter
feed, he says, which should last I'M
til spring. Where good honey is not
on hand, syrup made Of PA parts
sugar and one part water, by measure,
will give good results. Stir the sugar
into the hot water and continue heat
ing and stirring until all particles of
sugar are dissolved While the syrup
is heating, stir in a teaspoonful of tar
taric acid to every twenty pounds of
sugar used The syrup should be fed
quite warm and be given to the bees
in the late afternoon. Any receptacle
small enough to go into the hive body
can be used Floats, such as corn
husks or laavss must ha used

Nothing But somnolence Dscoveraoie
at tho Polls Where the Prohibition
Amendments Fate Is at
Stake, Today.
VOTE Is SMALLEST EVER
Nobody on either Side Making Mani
fest Any Interest In Outcome Of
Special Election, But Vets
Have Checkers on Duty.

The ouietest election since J. +.
Daugherty came to town Is being held
today in Keokuk The polls can De
found only by means CT directory IN
the official election notice, and identl-
fed by the poll books hanging list
lessly on the door jams. The police
men at each polling place are taxing
their day off on salary, assisted by
the specials appointed to prevent any
trouble at this election which Is as
quiet as a Quaker conference with
light attendance. One Of the police
men Of longest experience, sitting on
the curb, evidently bored to death by
ennui, yawned and said in q monoton-
Gus tone to The Gate City man at 200
o'clock:
This Is sure hell Of an eleotfon!'
But some precincts had more pep
than others. The famous fourth ward
had 100 per cent Of its normal z
o'clock vote in at that hour this after
noon, and the seventh ward had done
nearly as we'll in batting average to
that time. The first ward had polled
only fifty per cent OF It's normal at
that hour. The fifth ward had about
B5 per cent OF It's normal In the bal
lot box at 2 o'clock The second, third
and sixth wards had secured about
two-thirds Of the normal vote at that
hour.
No signs Of Work for Either side.
The first and fourth wards were the
only ones showing any signs OF WORK
among the partisans of either side OF
the prohibition amendment fight, and
In neither was there enough energy
visible to count much. A hack and
an automobile or two in front OF the
polls indicated that some persons
might be hauled to the voting place
But in every other ward there was not
the least sign of any interest IN the
election, and the entrance of ran
dom voter awoke the judges and clerKl
from prolonged reverie.
At every poll was checker recoe
n1zed as belonging 10 the vets, al
though one Of them declined to com
nit himself as to his allegiance.
The number of votes cast in each
precinct at 2 o'clock this afternoon is
as follows: First, 1T; second, 1872;
third, 213; fourth, 81: fifth. 1875; sixth,
1876: seventh, 113. In the fourth and
seventh, there is always a light vote
until six o'clock in the evening.

in the feeders to keep the bees from
drowning in the syrup.
Place the feeders directly over the
frames inside an empty hive body
and be sure all is bee-tight. Feed the
colonies as much as possible up to
the amount needed at one time, and
continue feeding every evening until
all have enough stores for winter.
The strongest colonies need most
feed and an extra five pounds Of sy-
rup to these will be wise invest
ment.
