HAAkON COUNTY WOMAN
PRIZE HONEY PRODUCER

Mrs. r. L. Cheney of Hardin
grove has been coming in for
some well deserved mention as
a patriotic honey producer these
war times. The Sioux City journ-
al of last Saturday had the fol-
lowing account of her activities:
I'm connection with the cam
paien of education in honey rails
ing, it was brought to- light that
Mrs. R. L. Cheney. of Milesville,
this state, who resides 40 miles
from the town of Philip, holds
the record for having during the
last year raised the most honey
of anyone in the state. She har-
vested two tons of honey during
the year, which amounts to 1900
pounds. In a letter to Mrs. Gina
Smith Campbell. of Dell Rapids,
she said: :.
We live in Haakon county and
have kept bees for eight years.
We started with one colony and
now have forty. We intended to
produce honey just for our own
use, but being favorably located
the business grew. The honey
is. gathered from alfalfa and
sweet clover. The clover is a
weed all along the Cheyenne
river and we have a world of it.
We have more than 800 acres of
alfalfa. We have pasturaGe for
many times as many bees as we
now have, and it seems a dread
full waste not to keep more, for
lit means so little work to care
for them.
I'm these days when economy
should be a choice as well as
duty" wrote one bee raiser,
there is no better solution of
the sweet problem than a few
colonies Of bees. It is really sur
prisinG and sometimes almost
embarrassing to find how much
honey is gathered in an average
normal year by , single colony"

THE NEW FOOD REGULATIONS
MUST TURN IN ALL FLOUR IN EXCESS
OF "a POUNDS PER PERSON.

Aberdeen, S. D., May 20, 1918
To the People of South Dakota!
The war is approaching a
crisis.
Our Government is calling for
increased devotion, for greater
sacrifices.
Mr.. Hoover says:
IF we are to satisfy the minimum
wheat requirements of our
armies and the Allies and suffer
| ing millions in the allied count
ries, our consumption of wheat
| in the United States, until the
next harvest, must be reduced
to approximately one third nor
NAL. 1t is inconceivable that we
should fail in this crises
South Dakota is ready and
anxious to meet the test OF obed-
ience and loyalty. | therefore
hereby call upon the people to
instantly respond to the follow
ing requirements:
Excepting children, the. aged
and invalids, working people
are urged to limit their consump-
tion of wheat flour to six pounds
per person per month and all
who are : engaged in the less
vigorous avocations, are urged
to abstain entirely from the use
of wheat products until next
harvest.
Therefore, in the name OF our
Government, l hereby call upon
every one within our state, hav'
ing at this date wheat flour IN
excess of "a pounds for each
member Of the household, (first
having set aside a reasonably
sufficient quantity for children,
the aged and invalids),' at once,
each one in his own way, to de-
liver such surplus flour to the
mills, merchants, jobbers or ele-
vators handling flour. Sell the
flour and close the transaction
(accept due bills, if necessary
and make it available for the
trade and consumption. If you
can not do so, store it in either
case, report the facts (date,
quantity, to whom sold. etc. to
me for record, or adjustment
and such action as the circum-
stances require.
This plan obviously does not
apply to proprietors of hotels,
restaurants or storehouses, who
are under special regulations.

limits on our space does not per-
init us to make it.

held it's class day exercises. This
was distinctly a class affair, and
was enjoyed about as much as
anything in connection with this
