HONEY TO AID IN
SUGAR SHORTAGE
Bee-keeperS to Increase Pro-
duCtion As Conservation
Measure.
News-rmes Special Service:

News Is mes Special Service:
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. Dec. "a
Bee keepers Of Indiana will be ex-
pected 20 line up in the conservation
movement next year
Representative from the Office Of
Frank Wallace. state entomologist,
Will begin a tour OF the state after
Jan. 1, and they will urge beekeep-
ers 10 produce more honey as a
movement 70 conserve other sweets.
The apiarists will be given instruc-
ton in the most modern methods Of
honey production.
Fifteen million pounds of honey
in 1918 is the estimate Mr.. Wallace
places on the productive power Of
the 10000 bee colonies Of the state.
and he proposes to aid in the pro-
duction of at least an additional mil
lion pounds.
Honey is the solution of a con-
tinued shortage of sugar. the state
entomolOgist says, and he declares
that il can and will be used extern
sively as a substitute for sugar.
But this program cannot be rea-
lied unless bee-keepers are per-
mitted TO buy sugar for their colon
les. Many bee men have had diff
Guilty in obtaining sugar to feed the
bees during the cold months but
Mr.. Wallace asserts that it would
be wise for the food administration
TO permit the sale of sugar for feed
ing, as each bee colony consumes
only about five pounds and is cap
able OF producing 100 pounds of
honey.
An experienced instructor has
been employed to teach Evansville
Ond) public school pupils in bee
culture, and a municipal apiary has
been proposed for use in connection
with the school program.

ENDORSEMENT OF SPEECH
Doesn't Think America Should Join
League to Enforce Peace
of World.

MADISON, Wis, January 23.-"The
Presidents message is a wonderfully
eloquent appeal to the nations at war"
William Jennings Bryan said. in an in
terview here today. 'In so far as the
Presidents message suggests terms of
agreement it is entirely sound and re-
fleets what l believe to be an almost
unanimous sentiment. But I dissent en-
tirely from the proposition that this na-
ton should join in a movement to eff
feet peace in Europe. If 1 know the
sentiment of the American people it is
nconceivabla that they should be will
ing to put the American army and navy
at the command of an international
council, which would necessarily be
controlled by European nations, and al
low that council to decide for US when
we would go to war.
Il have more faith in our people to
help them by example than ! have in our
country to help them by indorsing the
European plan of relying upon force and
terrorism.
In the Presidents appeal to them. he
presents the philosophy of brotherhood
and cooperation, and this is incon-
sistent with the proposition that it be
backed up by a larger display of force.
In other words, the President has sown
wheat and tares together. l hope that
the Senate Will approve of the wheat
and reject the tares."
