A BEE BATTLE

On the 7th Of June, 1927, occurred
one of those battles of bees which nat
uralists have more than once had
opportunity of observing. Among. the
many other remarkable instincts
sentiments, we may almost call them
possessed by these insects, is a sort
Of sense Of property, right Of location.
According to an account in the Car
Isle Patriot, on the day in question,
at the village Of Cargo, in Cumber-
land, struggle took place between
two swarms of bees. A day or two
earlier, one of these communities had
swarmed in the usual way, and been
safely hived. On the day of battle, a
swarm Of bees from some neighboring
hive was seen to be flying over the
garden in which the aforementioned
hive was located. They instantly
darted down upon the hive and COM
p1etely covered it; in little time they
began to enter the hive and poured
into it in such numbers that 1t soon
became completely filled. Then COM
menced a terrible struggle. A loud
hunming noise was heard and pre-
sently. both armies of combatants
rushed forth; the besiegers and be-
sieged did not fight within the be-
leaguered city, but in the open air.
The battle ragged with such fury that
the ground beneath was soon covered
with the wounded and slain; the
wounded crawled about painfully, I'M
able to rise and join their fallen war
riors. Not until one party was van
pushed and driven away did the san
culinary battle end. The victors then
resumed possession Of the hive. The
local narrative does not furnish the
means for deciding the question, but it
seems most probable that there were
some rights of property in the case,
and that the interlopers were elected.

never was war which had the inter

at stake as this and put in the broad

Germanized or do they prefer that
Germans - Americanized? The an

everybody to do their bit by taking
what part of the loan they feel they

HOME TO U. S. ARMY

80 years old, Russian, who refused
to sign his name to a registration
card, was before the city court yes

explained the law and the penalty to
him. He said he wanted to go back
to the old country and didn't want to
serve in the United States army. He
was committed to jail for 10 days

hicks refusal to sign.

Using the Refuse.

What becomes of the old sardine tins, tomato cans, meat tins and tins of all kinds? In France where nothing is allow ed to go to waste they gather them up and use them to cut into tin soldiers.
 In France, too, old boots and shoes are collected and every part is used over again. The work is mostly done by convicts in prisons. They take the boots and shoes to pieces and soak them; then the uppers are cut up into children's shoes or if they are too far gone for that a peculiar kind of pressed leather is made by some chemi- cal action. The nails are saved and sold and the scraps go to the farms to fertilize the soil.
 Who would. have thought it possible to make anything out of old saws? Yet it is said that many of the finest surgical in struments and some of those used by engineers are manu. factured from the steel that first saw duty in saws. The steel of saws is of the very best quality and finest temper, anc since it is good in the first place it is always good.-New Yorl Morning Telegraph.

After about the second bottle I felt greatly improved. before taking 1t my limbs and hands and arms would go to sleep. After taking it, however, this poor circulation disap- peared. My strength came back to me and I was soon on the road to health. After the use of about 5 bot. ties, I could do all my house-work and attend to my six children be- sides'

H. F. Anderson of Mesa, passed a forged check at the Williams State Bank a few days ago and straightway dis appeared. The check was for $2O. He first presented the check for payment to MT. Root. Not knowing the man MT. Root informed him that he would need to be identified. Anderson replied that he would have MT. Elton Hardy identify him. He accordingly stepped out and re- turned shortly with asserted MT. Hardy's name under his own as an endorsement. This was accepted and it was not learned until several days later that the signature was a forg- cry. It appears that Anderson stepped over to the Sultana and appended MT. Hardy's name, himself.

900 prisoners in Siberia have been released by the new pro- visional government in. Russia. These include many thousands of peasants sentenced without trial, and many of higher rank sentenced in the same manner, and also many prisoners tried and found guilty of conspiracy by the old government. Among the number are nihilists and terrorists.
 Sophia Lijuaitzky, a nine teen year old girl who was spir- tied away two years on a sus- picion that she was spreading political propaganda, describ- ed the reception of the news of the rebellion, there as follows:
 ''In my village the police themselves wearing red badges were the first to announce the revolution. Immediately there was a frantic competition a. mong the exiles to get home. The first two girls who started were without proper equipment and were overtaken by a bliz- gard near Vrekolensk and, it is said, froze to death."
 In some towns, men were freed from dungeons, and ask ed to have their iron chains re- moved. Blacksmiths were in great demand. Alexander Po- poff and a group of alleged plotters were in such a hurry to celebrate that they rushed into the governors palace and had their first free meal. Above the din of speeches and cheers for the Russian republic could be heard the dangling of the shackles still unremoved.

FOESER BAILY CAUGHT

Harvey E. Bailey, the man charged with forgery whom the News stated last week was being sought by Sheriff Dickin- son, was arrested by California authorities at the request of MT. Dickinson. Before the sheriff reached California, the Calif- ornia authorities learned that they already had out two war rants for his arrest for identic- ally the same crime commit ted in California. The most remarkable thing about the case is the fact that the forger forged two checks in California for identically the same a. mounts as the two passed in Williams. The California au- thorities offered to turn the man over to MT. Dickinson if he so preferred but assured him that the California authorities would prosecute him to the full extent of the law if left there. MT.
