In his talk on queen raising by ANA

his theories with a complete set OF
the apparatus used by queen breeders
An interesting feature of this talk was
the statement of the fact that A
queen is the mother of ali the bees IN
a hive, and what the queen is that IS
the hive also Small also stated that
Italian bees are better producers and
more gentle than black bees" "A
hive of black bees should have an
italian bee for a queen and in short
time the keeper will have ahive OF

black ones"
Very little work is needed by bees

NEED R. R. SOLICITORS
Shippers of Il. c. Appeal to McAdoo
to Retain Them in Service.

Kansas City. Mo-, ian. s.-The traf-
fic council of the Chamber of COM
merce of Kansas City was to meet at
o'clock this afternoon to consider
making recommendations to Director
General of Railroads McAdoo that the
services of solicitors and travelling
freight agents of the railroads be re-
tanned The council, which represents
nearly every shipper in the city, VIII
also consider the ACCESSIBILITY of
recommending that the government
represent some central authority to
pass on all arbitrary questions which
might arise in Kansas City or the
southwest with reference to distrib-
uting, retaining and routing cars.
The meeting was called as the re-
suit of frequent intimations since the
government took over the railroads
that solicitors and travelling freight
agents would be discontinued. Ship
pers say that soliciting business is the
least of the work of these men and
that their services are invaluable to
both the railroads and the shippers in
aiding in handling claims, tracing
freight, and quoting rates. At this
time, especially, they say, when the
local freight agents and commercial
departments are so busy, shippers
have no place to turn but to the solicit
tors.
