SHORTAGE OF BEES LOSES II MIL
LIONS


Have you little bee hive in your
yard9 If you haven't, you are helping
to lose the fourteen million dollars
worth Of honey products that are avail
able in Minnesota every year and is
not collected because there are not
enough bees to store it. Nearly fifteen
million dollars worth of honey could
be produced every year in the state.
Only half a million dollars worth is
collected. The honey could be collected
at minor cost by keeping as many
hives of bees in every yard as can be
fed from the honey products produced
around.
This is the advice that Professor
Francis jaeger gave the class in bees
and poultry at the Farmers and Home
Makers week at University farm, ST..
Paul, recently. Professor jaeger en-
couraged farmers to get few hives
Of bees this spring, to develop them
by the purchase of pure bred queen
bees from University farm and to in
crease the income of the farm several
hundred dollars by the work Of the
bees.

London, June 21.-"Only womer

tions," said Mrs. Pember Reeves,
joint controller of Women's Service
at the Ministry of Food when a
cablegram outlining Mr.. Hoover's
plans for the formation OF National
League of Housewives in America
was shown her.
The appeal to the women OF
America who love nothing better
than to make their families comfort
able and give them of the very best,
brings home to us almost more than
anything else the extent to which the
United States is entering the war.
The knowledge that American wo-
men will reduce the food consumed
by their families will stimulate US
women in the United Kingdom to see
to it that we do our share, and more
than our share in the common sacri-
flee.

means which have also to run the
gauntlet of submarines will be re-
gafded when they reach US as a very
sacred treasure. There will be,

Sorghum for Food or Feed.

Molasses like father used to

days. Such as he made was a JOY

Sorghum is good crop for war OF
peace, for human or animal food. 1t
is easy to grow for either purpose.
Does well on soil little too thin for
corn to make a good crop, and the
lighter soils produce better pro-
duct. Heavy soils produce an album
dance but not so good a quality, so
says Sam Jordan in an appeal is
sued by Jewell Mayes of the Missouri
State Board of Agriculture in the in
terest of more profitable production,
food conservation and feed supply.
For molasses, the seed should be

molasses should be done by July /,

not fit for molasses making.

U. S. Calls for Airmen, Denies That
Branch Service is Swarnped

Washington, D. c., June a.
Through the Committee on Public
Information, the Government today
issued an urgent call for young men
to enlist in the Aviation Corps, which
promises to be the most important
branch of the military service in the
War against Germany. Plans were
taken to correct the impression that
the Government is swamped with ap-
plications from embryo air,ncn.
Shortly after the declaration of war
there was rush of en)istmcnts for
the Air Corps. Then wei! inten-
toned but misleading rumor got
around among spirited and adventur-
Our young men-the type the army
and navy wants for the flying corps
that the supply was greater Ihan
the demand.
The result of this popular bit II
transformation" was that a potential
army of young men, ideal flyers by
physique and temperament, side"
tracked their ambition and made 4
try at other fields. Instead of the
aero camps being "swamped." as ru-
NOR had it, much less needful branch
es of patriotic, effort were badly over
| done by young men with a desire to
| &c, in and do something.
Men between the desirable axes OF
10 and rs began volunteering in
droves for the mosquito fleet" with
the idea that. if they couldn't get the
Germans from the air, they could get
a shot at submarine lying in wait
off Sandy Hook or outside Boston
1 tlarbor. The submarines have given
the American coast wide berth, but
airmen are needed to furnish eyes to
the Allied armies in the field.
At the present there are something
like 300 students at the various Amer
lean ground schools. Men are being
delegated to the work in colleges al
the rate of IS week for each school
or about 200 week. After August
q. the Government expects to grad
uate students into the advanced fly
ing fields at the rate of 200 per week
The number expected in active fly
ing by September 8 has been set al
7,4oS, but the total probably will bt
less, due to the weeding-out process
which is going on continually.
The Government wants aviators
and yet more aviators. 1t wants
them by thousands and it does moi

DUTCH BETWEEN TWO FIRES
If Potatoes Go to England, Germans
VIII Refuse Coal, and If They
Go to Germany. England
Will Cut off Grain.

London, June zs.-A dispatch to the
Times from Amsterdam reports that
a crowd of women stormed dozen
barges in the inner harbor of Rotter-
dam Saturday and seized about ton
of potatoes designed for England.
The barges, which were loaded with
eleven thousand tons of potatoes, were
then removed to the outer harbor,
guarded by police. The trouble,
whereof the foregoing is a mere in
cident has arisen, according to the
correspondent, between Holland,
England and Germany. Germany ex-
pected consignment of new potatoes
in return for German exports of coal
to Holland.
Before a consignment could be
made eleven thousand tons of old po-
tatoes had to be shipped to England
under contract. The people of Rot
terdam, who are themselves insuffi-
GENTLY supplied, learning that these
potatoes were awaiting shipment
raided the barges. Meanwhile the
Germans are threatening to cease
,coal supplies unless the potatoes are
sent.
The correspondent says that If the
Duteh yield to the German pressure
and bend these potatoes to Germany

HEAT KILLING THE CROPS IN
GERMANY
Forest Fires Also Damage Growing
Grain, as Told by Berlin Pa
perS.

Copenhagen, Denmark, June a.
Reports Of damage of crops by heat
and vandalism by the prisoners of
war in Germany have startled the
Berlin authorities into fears for the
safety of growing grains.
The period of intense heat contin-
ues over the greater part of Germany,
according to reports from Berlin, the
only exception being in the western
part of the country.
Berlin on Wednesday experienced
heat exceeded only three times in 20
years, and then in mid July Very
little rain has fallen throughout Ger
many and The Berlin Tageblatt is in
formed there appears to be slight
prospects Of change.
Extension of forest fires is reported
in various parts of Germany, owing
to the continued drought and soldiers
have been called on to assist in
checking them.
The Lokal Anzeiger of Berlin says
the protracted heat and dry weather
have had most unfavorable effect on
the yield of fruit and early vegetables,
| which are of special importance,
ewing+o the disappearance of pota-
| toes. b
notwithstanding the planting of a
double acreage of vegetables. COM
pared with peace times, the yield is
disappointing. Early potatoes are
delayed, as Hungary the principal
source of early supply, has also suf-
fered from droughts Hamburg and
Altoona will be able to furnish none
next week. Residents of these cities
will draw a pound of bread instead.
The German newspapers today
have been furnished with elaborate
material for declaring that prisoners
of war in Germany, particularly the
French, Russian and Serbian, are par
ticipating in a gigantic conspiracy to
interfere by sabotage with war work
in the interior and are engaged on a
large scale in arson, crop destruction
and attempts to injurc machinery.
The papers give dime novel; de-
tails about the dispatch of materials
for arson in double-bottomed jan,
pots and of cigarettes containing dis
ease germs for injecting cattle, etc.
1t is difficult to tell to what ex-
tent these tale are due to the honest
belief of officials, and how much to
a deliberate design to put the people
on guard against possibilities.
The General Staff employed this
maneuver on large scale at the
outbreak of the war to obtain popu-
lar cooperation in their efforts
against espionage.
They had deliberately invented and
launched tales of gold-laden automo-
biles traversing Germany from
France to Russia, and attempts OF
foreign agents to poison the. water
supply, blow up tunnels and carry
out similar exploits.
The plan was more than successful.
Military automobiles were stopped
everywhere and Gen. Won Heering,
travelling in haste to assume his com.
mand in the army, was held up and
delayed
Staff officers engaged in important
missions were arrested by voluntary
spy catchers, and were lucky if not
beaten and mobbed. The military au-
thorities were soon begging the peo-
pie to forget about the spies.

favoritism shown to exploiters of
working men who are large con-

that does not disprove the existence
OF a supreme ruler. 1t only shows
the churches are on a business basis,
which is. not in conformity with the

While at times there may be scoun-

have no respect for Womanhood, it is
invariably the upper class, the men
Of leisure, who bring shame and dis
grace upon the daughters of working
men, They will probably treat you
like queen, and with their polished
manners set your head in a whirl and
make you feel ashamed of the young
men of your own class, but, Grace
dear, be on the alert! They want
only pleasure. They soon tire of the
same girl. A wife to the men of
that class is like a pretty ornament
in their homes, which may be greatly
admired only to be replaced by a
prettier one. They mourn the loss
