Hard Work.

Andrew Carnegie has had to stand
for a lot of stories, SO this little one
blamed on him won't add but trife
to his conscience:
Speaking of the obstinacy of the
Scotch" said the Laird of ~Skibo, Il
once knew Scotch minister who told
me of a parishioner who prayed as
follows:
lord. oh. Lord. keep me from go
ing wrong, for you know how hard it
is TO do anything with Scot when

cars Makes Bees Efficient.

Because Of lack of attention fully
half the bees now kept in the United
States are virtually useless to their
owners and consequently Bookkeeping Is
often condemned as improbable. Prob
ably In an average season for the
United States as = whole the surplus
honey obtained by good beekeepers
scarcely will exceed so pounds to the
eolony. Assuming that 400 pounds is
the average needed by hive to main
Mln Its existence during the year. this
N-pound surplus represents then only
aeninth Of ~ nectar gathered By ths
The circle banner. [volume] (Circle, Mont.) 1914-1939, 1918-05-17

bees. In such an average season an
apiary of 100 colonies may gather nee
tar equivalent to 22h tons of honey
where the ''honey crop" or surplus
honey will be only 211A tons. That 100
colonies of bees can find nectar suffi-
cient to make 221a tons of honey with
in a range of about two miles gives
some idea of the amount of sugar avail
able in the form of nectar. This
amount doubtless is much below the
actual sugar at hand, for when nectar
is flowing freely bees do not get it ell.
Furthermore, in many places more
than so pounds of surplus are obtained
and often more than 100 colonies can
be kept profitably in one place.
In the face of these facts it is regret
table to find so many beekeepers who
fail to get even the small percentage
which belongs to the beekeeper. There
are parts of the United States where
90 per cent of all colonies of bees are
in hollow logs or plain square boxes
In which combs of bees cannot be
handled. There are few parts of the
country where the box hive is not
found and probably one-third of all the
bees in the country are so housed. In
this case both equipment and manage
ment are poor and the energy of the
bees is misdirected. Even of those
who keep their bees in modern hives
of movable frames the vast majority
do not get the full crop. By falling
to control swarming by providing in
sufficient room for storage or by lack
of proper care in winter their crop
is often reduced one-half or more.

GREGORY ORDERED
Stacker RAIDS

Attorney General Gregory has as
sumed complete responsibility for the
recent Stacker raids made IN New
ork. in a letter to the President.
Censure was placed, however. on Of
fcials OF the department who en-
ployed soldiers and sailors in round
ing up the slackers without Gregory s
consent.
The letter contains q long state
nent of the policy of the Justice De-
partment in relation to the selective
service act, and the result OF the
dragnet proceedings.
The reason for the action OF the
department was based on the prUvi-
sions of the selective service act
which empowers police officials TO
arrest graft evaders.
Gregory states that similar raids
were made in Boston and Chicago
with excellent results and to the en-
tire satisfaction of the communities
affected. The same plan that has
been used heretofore in conducting
raids will be used in all future
roundups, the attorney general states,
until orders for their discontinuances
are received from the President.
A summary OF the report contained
In the letter shows that over $4,000
persons were detained by the authori-
ties in New York and i've cities Of
New Jersey.

eleven were indicted into the milf
