all your cooking and even produce
steam power to work machinery.

available in all our large cities for the
utilization of the suns rays! Simple
pipes laid up on the roof and contain

become heated by the suns rays. The

PREPARING THE BEES FOR
WINTER

- COll0ge Park, sept. l3.-SucceSSful
Wintering should bring the colonies
Ito spring crowded with young Wig
6rous workers ready for the early
nectar flows; yet with sufficient stores
remaining in the hives to carry them
If necessary we'll into the season.
These conditions can only be obtain
ed when the colonies are properly
cared for in the fall.
It will not be necessary for the bee
keeper to even visit his yard until the
next season is well advanced if the
bees are well supplied with food, room,
and protection this fall. 1t is argued
that If food be sufficient and the colony
be headed by young queen and shelf
cred from the wind extra protection
is not necessary. This is not true.
One does not have to be a careful in
vestigator to prove the necessity for
added protection.
Bees cluster in winter for mutual
warmth. The lower the outside tenn
perature gets the more food the bees
consume and the greater the muscular
activity within this cluster. This
maintains temperature sufficient to
keep the cluster warm. Six months
of cold weather demanding such ex-
cessive activity and food consumption
leaves the bees so weak in the spring
and so affected with dysentery from
facial matter that while they may at
first seem strong they die faster than
brood is reared to replace them. Thus
the colonies become too weakened to
take advantage of our early nectar
flows.
If the bees are protected from the
cold by packing these conditions are
relieved and the colonies will come
into the spring strong and healthy,
provided they were well supplied with
food and bees in the fall.
Colonies may be packed in groups
of four, pair facing east and pair
west, or they may be packed singly.
They should be set on two by four
boards, edge up, on platform raised
slightly from the ground, and sur
rounded with a tight packing case
large enough to leave six-inch space
all around the colonies and on top.
This space may then be filled with
sawdust, leaves, chaff, or pine needles.
A boar tunnel may be constructed
from the hive entrances to the case
and four half-inch holes bored through
the latter into the tunnels thus allow
ing air to reach the colonies and pro-
viding for flights in early spring. A
tight cover over all completes the
snug nest, which If sheltered from the
winds will bring the colonies into
spring very strong and vigorous.
The packing should be done in
early fall and left until May of the
following season. If the bees are in
double bodies with the upper one fill
ed with honey the results will be still
more satisfactory as the colonies will
have plenty of room in the spring to
rear brood and plenty of food to build
up sufficiently for the early honey
flows.
Few beekeepers at present pack
their bees. They argue very per-
sistently against it.; but the majority
of us are from Missouri and a fair
trial will convince the open minded
that winter protection and shelter are
as essential to honey production as
brood and bees.

Why Is the Price OF Bread Not Reduced!
(From The Labor WORLDLY

...... (From The Labor Worldly
The Federal regulations affecting the licensing of bakeries
have been effective for time with W. Znsmaster local
administrator.
The purpose of such regulation sandardze the
bread reduce the prices level compatible the
current price of flour.
Several months ago when flour quoted around SIT bar
16ounce loaf of bread retaed 10 cents At the
time with flour around $40 barrel local bakeries turning
out the size there has been reduction price
The food committee of the Public Safety commission made
investigation into bread prices in the Cities
and set 7a cents pound reasonable price.
Now will kindly explain this dispary-why local
should be compelled SO 3 cent for
bread than in the Twin Cities?
Administrator Znsmaster the head the largest bakery
in this city, and this have something do with his apathy
in regard to reducing bread prices.
When the price of wheat fixed by the government
restrictions placed the baking industry intended that
the should be the benecaes through resultant price
reductions, and not the manufacturers and dealers.
The failure of Mr. Znsmaster to order increase the
present size OF loaves reduction price of the 6ounce
that the wishes Of the being carried
and that the proeerg of local bakers under the ge
official sanction.
This negligence the part of Federal representative
should receive the condemnation of indignant public re-
sponsbe administrator named.
Will Mr. Znsmaster kindly throw little light this mat
ter?

NAMES BECAME MIXED.

In an article on the Syndicate
of Sin at Oliver, printed in the pre-
vious issue Of the Rip-saw, were
the following words, viz: "Harry
Altman, fat panderer, procureur
and gambler who has gravitated
back and forth between Mime
apolis and the Hot Springs, Ar
kansaw."
The foregoing name should
have been Harry Ahlbach. The
Rip-saw regrets that he was de-
MED his proper measure of pub
licity.
1t also transpires that Superior
possesses a business man named
Harry Altman. He affirms that
he is not a fat panderer, procur-
eur nor gambler. He has not
gravitated back and forth be-
tween Minneapolis and the Hot
Springs. Mr.. Altman's friends
overworked the telephone after
reading the previous issue Of the
Rip-saw. This great family jour
nal desires to say that the name
Harry Altman was used through
error in the article on Oliver and
not through any intention.

A WORD OF CAUTION.
Duluth, Dec. IS, 1917.

Duluth, Dec. 18, 1917.
To the Editor Of the Rip-saw:
have read with interest about
the movement to form Teachers
Parents Associations. Nothing is
more desirable than cooperation
of school and home. I very will
ingly will support such a plan if
I can be assured that the organ
ization Of such clubs is for the
benefit of the children.
But, having been interested in
a similar movement when Mothers
Clubs flourished, some two or
three years ago, my suspicious
are aroused and, before I 60 into
anything Of the kind again, I
must know that no one has an
axe to grind. If there is a deep
ly laid plot to get our support at
the school board election, as I
feel was the case two years ago,
I am against the whole idea and
I hope that every parent will re-
fuse to cooperate.
It has been clearly demon
strated to my satisfaction that
our votes were used without our
consent or knowledge to effect
the present state of affairs in our
schools. Any fair-minded citi-
zen who knows the truth about
the present administration knows
that it is wholly inadequate.
There certainly should be a
united effort by people Of the So
called middle class to have a loud
er voice in school affairs. In re-
cent years, too much power has
been given to a few persons who
are wealthy and prominent So
cially and who are credited with
working for selfish ends.
We are paying for the educa-
ton of our children and should
have something to say about how
it shall be done. I most respect
fully submit this communication
to the consideration of the par
ents Of Duluth's school children,
having no object but the bes; good
of the cause, and beg to warm
them not to lend support to any
Interior political motives.
A PATRON.
The Duluth rip-saw. [volume] (Duluth, Minn.) 1917-19??, 1917-12-22

very meager. The enrolment fig
ures are large but the attendance
is not at all in proportion.
Then there are the social center
functions. Despite the newspaper
articles of self-praise, accom-
panied by photographs, many
patrons of the schools believe
that heat, light and janitor costs
can be saved by cutting out dane
ing classes. In the night schools,
basketry, clay modelling and art
jewelry work well can be post
poned to better days. When
patriotism and war demand
economy, anything of an unneces-
sary or frivolous nature can be
proftably eliminated.
We certainly cannot afford to
have the day schools disturbed.
Where night schools and social
center stunts are considered i'm
perative, let the benefciaries as
semble at some central point,
thereby reducing costs in heat,
light, instruction and janitor serv-
ice to a minimum.
