PROSPEROUS PINE
Bee Tree Cutting and Watermelon
cutting-Life lone Sweet

Pine, June PA bee-tree and wa
termelon cutting and general good
time was the feature last Saturday
afternoon. This splendid social oc.
casion was given by Mr.. and Mrs. A.
II. Monroe. at the famous Horse Shoe
Farm. Quite a number of the neigh
bors were invited and two large
trees. previously located by Mr.. Mon
roe. were felled to the ground, their
bountiful supply of rich honey pro.
cured and arrangements made for
capturing and careing for the wild
bees. These rich honey trees were
found in the thick hammocks where
a million sweet flowers furnish feed
ing for the bees the year round. Mr..
Monroe himself is an expert in handl-
ing bees and took the hazard task
of cutting into the honey while the
bees buzzed with apparently amazed
wonder about his robust arm. Very
few stings were inflicted and the
honey was of an excellent quality.
After the beet tree cutting a wagon
load of delicious watermelons were
'cut" and all had plenty and some to
spare. This is one OF the splendid
social treats the Monroes are quail
ned to give their neighbors, and a
more enjoyable time we have not had
recently.
Saturday a week ago a splendid ice
cream supper was enjoyed under the

Each ray from their depths is night

Not only their worth cheers the land
Of your birth.
But filings its clear light to tho ends

And the nation shall never from victory

They fought that the land Of their
love should not perish.
The stripes that CLEAN red arc the
blood that WAS shed,
And the white ones between are from

And farther and farther this emblem
shall wave.
Till the world has forgot that there
e'er was slave!

strong,
Like the people whose hands and

You cling TO the colors. through tenn.

Or when mid the zephyrs Of peace
they enfold you.
On many a field you have scorned Ger

And you promise for ages to stay In
your might.
Till the world gathers round you-6rm

Poultry and the Food Supply

country's meat supply largely be over

of poultry.
Even the city jewellers, with but limited
back yards. can support small ffocks of fowls
and convert their table waste into eggs and
meat for home use while on the farm the
industry is susceptible OF almost unlimited
