Only one queen under normal con-
ditions is allowed in the hive at a
time, the worers might tolerate one

queens are jealous of each other, and

Most people speak of bees as being
mad. and with delight inflict pain on
everybody coming near them. Bees
are, on the contrary, the pleasantest,
most sociable, genial and good natur
ed little beings We meet in all animal
creation. We can tear their comb all
to bits right before their eyes without
a particle of resentment, but with all
the patience in the world set to work
to repair it. If you pinch them they
will sting, and anybody who has en-
ergy enough to take care of himself
would do as much had he the weapon.
Bees only get cross when a flow of
nectar is cut off, or are handled when
conditions are not favorable
Now, Mr. Editor, some one might

No part of animal creation exhibits
a greater love of home than do the
honey bees. No matter how humble
the surroundings, and they parade in
front of their doorway after a hard
days work, and plainly indicate the
right of ownership, and willing to
sacrifice their lives freely if need be
to protect their home, and hard-earned
stores. They have in fact the same
fighting spirit that of our noble sail
or and soldier boys now on the battle
fields of France
All animal nature seems to have
some measure of reproducing its kind

life contracting themselves in the mid
die until they break in two, and each
separate part in time again breaks in
two
Bees are somewhat similar, at the
beginning of the honey flow, combi-
nation of conditions will cause a COL
ony to sub-divide, that is to say,
swarm, but previous to going out they
will make provision for the colony to
be left behind, by starting queen cells.
These are supplied with eggs by the
queen, or if the queen does not deposit
eggs in the cells when about half
completed, they take eggs from the
worker cells and supply them, they
are then treated with royal jelly. The
egg that would have produced q work
er. had it remained in the worker CELL
becomes a queen. ! might say here
that ii is an unfecundated egg that
matches a drone.
After eight days when this queen
cell is sealed, the old bees swarm OUT
the queen following. After whirling in
the air, the mass of bees will cluster
on a branch of some convenient tree,
generally shaded from the suns rays.
If not hived shortly after they might
leave for the woods. but at times clus-
ter in the same place for several days.

DON'T CLOSE SCHOOLS;
MAKE USE OF THEM.
Administration At Washington
Wants No Excuse For Less
Education Of Children.

Don't cose the schools; use them to
maximum capacity says Secretary Of
the Interior Lane in approving
statement just issued by the Bureau of
Education of his Department, wherein
is presented the governments need of
the schools in war time as seen by
those in Washington charged with the
conduct of the war.
The statement says: THE entire
spirit of the Administration in Wash
ington is, and has been from the be-
ginning, that the war should in no
way be used as an excuse for giving
the children of the country any less
education, in quantity or quality, than
they otherwise would have had. Both
the present demands of the war
emergency and the prospective de-
mands of the necessary re-adjustments
inevitably to follow emphasize the
need of providing in full measure for
the education of al 1.-The people"
Regarding elementary schools, the
statements says: There appears 10
be nothing in the present or prospect
i've war emergency to justify curtail-
ment in any respect of the sessions of
the elementary schools, or of the edu-
cation of boys and girls under IA years
of age. and nothing which should serve
as an excuse for interference with the
progressive development of the school
system Teachers and pupils should
be encouraged to find ways of per-
60, IN, I,n
having war value, such as activities
connected with the Junior Red Cross,
War Garden Work, Boy Scouts, War
Thrift Work, and the like. Opportuni-
ties should be found to introduce into
the school activities having real edu-
cational value, which at the same time
link up the public schools with the
ideals of service and self-sacriice
actuating our people, and bring home
to the consciousness of teachers,
pupils, and parents the essential unity
of the nation in this great crisis"
As to the governments need of
high school students. Secretary Baker
and Daniels point out that the Army
and Navy do not want, and can not
use. boys under IS years of age, nor
boys nor men of any age who are not
strong and well-developed physically.
So far as the army and navy are con-
cerned. there is nothing more import
ant that the schools can do than TO
keep going at full capacity, and at the
same time to emphasize neveTy pos
sible way their work in physical edu-
cation High school boys will render
the best service of which they are
capable by remaining in school until
completion of the high school course

Meatless DAYS To Return.

WIN THE WAR SPIRIT
EVEN IN YOUR LETTERS.

SEE that a win-the-war spirit gets
into your business letters" is the slo-
gan of a movement launched by the
Department of Commerce 10 remind
business men that the everyday bust
ness letter is most effective instru-
ment for creating confidence in the
governments war policies and for in
spring others with the determination
TO see the war through at any cost.
The idea was first brought forward
in connection with American bust
ness letters TO foreign countries said
Secretary Redfield. The volume of
our foreign business mail is very
large. 1t reaches firm in all bu the
enemy countries For the most part
it is read by those who are for us, but
you may be sure that it reaches many
who doubt our success and many who
are at heart against us. I am sure
that every foreign business man who
opens an American letter is quick TO
detect even the slightest indication of
the writer's feelings on the conduct of
the war and its outcome.
1T is of the utmost Importance
therefore that the American business
letter breathe confidence in every line.
IL the manufacturer or exporter feels
that he has a just grievance against
restrictions imposed on his trade, by
all means let him go right TO head
quarters and register as emphatic a
complaint as he feels is justified. But
he certainly should not carry the mat
ter into his business letters. 1t is
sure to create an entirely erroneous
impression in some minds.
Let the American business man
make known TO the whole world that
he is for this war and that he is go
ing to see it through, regardless of in
convenience, loss of trade, loss of
money, or anything else. Every
manufacturer ought to be fearless in
expressing his sentiments even though
he may be writing to a concern whose
sympathies he may suspect are not
wholly with us. Don't give a foreign
concern the idea that you are apologize
ing for your governments restrictions
or that you are chatting under them.
Spread the impression, the absolutely
correct impression, that over here we
are backing this war unqualifiedly."

Trench Slang In France.

United States Marines now fighting
in France report that the trench slang
of the Poilus and the Tommies is re-
ceiving the impress of the American
idea.
"Boche," the French term of con-
tempt for a German, is perfectly good
French for "bonehead," and the Tom
mics adopted it.
But to the American ear it lacked
punch. And the pronunciation was
tricky 1t did, however, suggest a
term expressing the Americans ut
most contempt, emanating from the
American national pastime.
So the Hun may still be "boche" to
the French and British, but our Ma
riRes despise them as "bushers."

ATTRACTION AT THE
COLONIAL TOMORROW.

Louise HUFF and Theo Roberts in

Sir Gilbert Parker's literary master
piece wild Youth" will be the ex-
ceedingly pleasing attraction at the
Colonia | tomorrow evening. The
story deals with the familiar call of

10000 pounds. Even with these
large shipments the allies have found
it necessary to reduce the consump-
ton of all kinds of meats and poultry
to an average of about IA pounds per
week per person, in order that no fur
Their draft should he made upon ship
ping that is now required for the
transport of our soldiers. Our con-
sumption Of meats is about 81 pounds
per week per person and if we are to
make both ends balance during the
short marketing season, we must have
further economy TO avoid a return to
the meatless days.
There is now a seasonal abundance
of milk products which can well be
substituted in various forms. The
shortage of fish during the past sew
eral months, due to the necessity of
naval requisitioning of trawlers and
enlistment of fishermen for the navy,
should soon be considerably relieved
by the expansion which has been ar
ranged in other forms of fishing.

Get Something For Nothing.

When person gets something for
nothing, said something usually con
tains a joker or has a string attached
to it. F'rinstance, a certain preacher
received from a patent medicine ccm-
pany an offer to provide his church
with song books free of any charge.
It was explained that there would be
few ads in the front and back of the
books but that these ads would not be
offensive to the congregation, since
the books were being secured for no.
thing. The preacher gave the order
and the books arrived He found the
ads to be mildly worded and decided to
use them. He explained from the pull
pit how the books had been secured,
and announced that they would sing
No. 274. Imagine the peoples sur
prise when, on reaching the second
verse, they found themselves singing,
"Hark. the Heavenly angels sing,
Johnscn's pills are just the thing;
Angelic voices meek and mild-two
for man and one for child"

How vanderlip Treats Employees

Frank vanderlip tells in the Amer ican Magazine the things he considers necessary in the making of faithful and happy employe. As president of the National City Bank of New York he employs many men and women. and so he says:
 'Tf you will let me speak imperson- ally, I would say, first. Pay enough. Unless men and women are paid enough to live on with reasonable comfort they cannot give the best that Is in them or enjoy their work as they ought. With out this foundation of good pay. you cannnt. by any amount of welfare or other benevolently intended activities. build satisfactory structure.
 Then give employees all the respon- feel that they are as real a part of the organization as the. president or any other officer and that they. in their own sphere, carry their share of the responsibility for the organization's policy and it's reputation.
 "Of course, every member of a force has to be treated fairly and must be made to realize that he or she can de- pend always and under all circum- stances upon receiving this fair treat ment.
 "Employes should be given the full est credit for anything meritorious they do. It is mistake for the officers of any concern to withhold from any one lower down deserved credit for good ideas or suggestions or initiative"

TRAINING
 AND USE OF WOOD

A Fayetteville, Ark, special to tbe American Lumberman says: Forty hours or work in manual training and the use or wood in the home are included in a lour weeks short course which 72 home demonstrators, members of the force of tne agricultural extension division of tha university of Arkansas, are taking at the College of Agriculture here. These demonstrators are from practically every county in Arkansas and they will go back to their counties and teach the people the uses Of wood which they learned while attending the short course at the uni versity. The work in manual training IS under the direction of Sam E. Woods instructor in manual training at the Mississippi State Normal school
 transformation in the buildings on the average Arkansas farm will come within the next few years, in the opin ion of many of the demonstrators who are watching conditions in the state closely They point out that Arkansas farmers, especially in the northwestern part of the state. are adopting diversified farming. Dairying is gaining a foothold in many counties, All this means bet ter barns and better storing facilities, When the time comes to build silos the Arkansas farmer will not build cement silo. With all the timber resources of Arkansas at his command it Is fnevita ble that he will build wooden silos.
