sEEkEEPERs SHOULD REQUIEM
THEIR COLONIES NOW.

College Park. Aug. 30.-The proper
time to prepare for the seasons honey
crop is the fall before. If the prepare
ton is left until next spring consider
able reduction in the crop of 1918 will
result. Prepare now.
All beekeeping operations previous
to the honey flow should have for their
object the securing of the greatest pos
sible number of bees ready for field
work when the flow starts. A colony
cannot be too strong in field bees at
this time. However, the condition OF
the colonies previous to and during
winter determines to a large extent
their strength in the spring Also, II
they are weak in the spring 1t is al
most impossible to increase their
strength sufficiently to secure much
honey from the early flows in Mary
land. It is essential for best results
that preparation be started this COM
ing fall.
Successful wintering depends upon
the quality and quantity of food, suf1-
Client protection and room and young,
vigorous bees. Colonies should be win
tered In double bodies with 1880
pounds of honey in the top body. They
should also be in a sheltered place,
and packed thoroughly to protect them
from the cold If these conditions
exist colony of young. vigorous bees
will winter successfully, increase

ly strong to produce maximum crop
even from early flows.
Numerous and vigorous workers are
the results of young and vigorous
queen. Usually queens best efforts
are limited to the first two years OF
her life, consequently it is advisable
to requiem consistently every two
years where honey production is the
main business. A young newly-mated
queen will produce quantities OF Wig
orous workers, a condition which is
highly desirable in the fall when the
older queens are so apt to check their
brood rearing.
August is the most profitable time,
therefore, to requiem. New queens
may be purchased from some reliable
dealer or raised in the home apiary.
Care should be used in their intro
duction to avoid loss as It is bit
difficult TO secure the acceptance of
a new queen at this time of year. The
beekeeper should acQuaint himself
with the best methods Of queen rear
ing and introduction SO that he may
take every opportunity TO produce a
few queens every year thus cutting
down the expense of buying from
queen breeders.
Colonies headed by these young
prolific queens will develop a great
number of young bees late in the sea
son capable of successfully with
standing the winter and living long
enough in the spring TO rapidly build
up the colonies for the honey flow.

Churches Of America to Honor Labor

Thousands of ministers in every
part of this country will observe" La.
Dor Sunday" on Sept 2 by preaching
on labor problems created by the war.
The suggestion that the Churches
hold special labor services on Sunda y
came from the American Federation
of Labor and the Federal Council of
tie Churches of Christ in America,
and the Federal Council has prepared
"A message for Labor Sunday III time
of war" to be used at these services.
In some cases Labor unions will
march from their halls to the churches
in bodies and committees appointed by
labor organizations will take charge
Of the services.
The various national UNCONVENTIONAL
social service Bureaus have been &C.
tive for some time creating an inter-
est in the Labor Sunday service, al
though in many cities union services
of several of the churches will be held.
Discussing the custom IF the
churches to observe Labor Sunday on
the Sunday previous to Labor Day, the
Rev. Charles Stelzle, Field Secretary
of the Federal Council of Churches,
said:
Just as Memorial Day and the sew
eral birthdays show our appreciation
of those who rendered patriotic service
and Just as he churches holy days
do honor to those who serve mankind
spiritually, so Labor Sunday is observ-
ed by the churches to honor the mil
lions of toilers who serve mankind in
the humber places of life. -.

At the outbreak of the war it was reported that pr. Liebknecht had been shot for refusing to do mili- tary service, but this rumor was with out foundation, It is now known, however, that Liebkneeht has sas- fered Imprisonment for his eppesitio I to the government, and this in spite of the fact that all of his comrades have been won ever by the Kaiser Since the death of Rebel, Dr, Lieb- knecht has been the Social Demo cratic leader in the Reichstag, It was he wfae, in April of 1913, started the crusade against the ''trust'' which he declared promoted war seares in Europe for the sake of getting com tracts for armament anad waFships. He asserted that the KfupPs had brib- ed various army officers te promote their schemes, Tine exposure of this scandal made Liebknecht an interna- tional figure even before the outbreak of the war. The bribery of minor of ficials was eventually admitted by the Krupps, and four officers were tried and court-martiaied, Dr. Liebknecht made a lecture tour of America sew eral years ago. pr, Liebknecht's father signed with Karl Marx the famous manifesto" which is the groundwork of modern socialism Like Marx and Rebel, the elder Lieb- knecht spent much time in German prisons. After the revolution of 1848 Liebknecht was cor ordemned to death, but escaped to England, which gave him refuge. Later he returned to Ger

|CITY OFFICIALS
 GET XMAS GIFTS; MAYOR PRESENT
Common Council Remem- bers All City Officials At
 Taxpayers Expense.

It was the night before Christmas and incidentally the last meeting of the Common Council this year was held on this night, which will live long in the memory of Mayor Clifford B. Wilson, and the impression will remain with other city officials for at least two years. It all happened as The Farmer predicted last October, the salaries of all were raised, with the exception of the mayors, which was just wal1opped until it swelled from $3,O00 to s6,000. The resolu- tion with the increases inclosed was adopted by the council without a murmur. From an unofficial source 1t is learned that it will not be vetoed by the mayor
 Many are willing to admit that a city of Bridgeport's size can afford $6,000 salary for the mayor, but many others believe 100 per cent. increase is too great. However, the mayor and other makers of the reso- lution, which was camoufaged by it's being approved by the ordinance committee, agreed to make up for lost time, because the salaries of city officials had not been raised in 17 years.
 Other increases were as follows: | City Clerk Robinson, $3,000 to $4,500; City Auditor Heating, S4,500 to | $6,000. Town Clerk Schultz, $2,500 to $3,00o; City Treasurer Manwaring, $1,50o to $2,ooO; Tax Collector Smith, $2.5QO to s3.5oO; City Attor- ney Comley,, s3,00O to $4,0o0; Assist ant City Attorney Seeley, $500 to 1 $2,500;.
