 Each shell and meat is carefully in spected in the hope of securing either a pearl or slug"
 While the drags are in the water, the boat drifts with the current, the hooks being on the bottom. It is often necessary to use what is termed a donkey" to assist in the operations, and consists of a long frame, about two feet wide, which they drop into the water at the stern of the boat When the donkey is placed in the water the current striking against it produces added pressure and therefore the boats have added impetus, espe- cially in the more quiet stretches of the stream.
 The principal danger connected with the operations is when the hooks be- come "snaggard" on stump, tree or log which may be in the bottom of the river.

(Milwaukee- Sentinel

Several fishermen making a little trip up the Wisconsin river last sum- rner and washing one noon in its water, noticed large number of clans. They picked up several dozen and they were sent to a button factory. The latter pronounced them to be of excellent quality. Inspired by the good news of their acceptability, the men began in earnest to obtain more shells and to market them.
 They established a camp and began operations High water and bad weather interfered with the early part of their operations and therefore the work was slow at first. As warm weather came on they doubled their ef- forts, with the result that they have several tons of the shells now ready for market.

but all are of bees kept in the residence districts of cities or large towns.
 "One case of special interest is from the capital city of Iowa The husband and wife are both enthusiastic about the bees, but the man of the house is confined during business hours as a bookeeper in a large retail establish ment. The home is near a. car line and there are about three lots, which give ample room. From about one hundred hives of bees kept on the lots about their home they have sold nearly S1.5O0 worth of honey in a single year. This is perhaps the largest amount they have been able to make in one year; but every year the bees add a sub- stantial sum to the salary earned by the husband and father. The wife does much of the work in caring for the bees, and from them the family bids fair shortly to pay for home and a business which will support the family in comfort. There are numerous simi- lar cases which could be pointed out where bees are kept in the rear of town lots or even on top of business build ings in such large cities as Chicago"

urgent APPEAL COMES TODAY
TO PUT IDAHO OVER THE TOP"

BOISE, Idaho, Nov. 15.-(Special
to The Star-Mirror. Michigan, Del
aware, New Mexico, Arizona and Ne
vada first five states to report across
in united war work campaign. There
is still a chance for Idaho to get in
the honor list of ten states first over.
State Chairman Barton issues this
appeal:
II call upon every member of the
seven allied organizations; every Jew
and Gentle; every Catholic and Prot
estant; every loyal American in the
state of Idaho to realize his individ-
ual responsibility and to arouse him
self to the sense of his personal OBJ
legation in this great campaign. l
urge particularly that today and the
remaining days of the drive every
person whose heart is in this work
consecrate himself to renewed efforts
in support of the county councils of
defense and other organizations en-
gagged in the direct task of raising
funds in the united war work cam
paign."
Bishop Daniel L. German, in an
appeal for greater effort in the united
war work campaign, says: cit is a
sad duty for every man and woman,
every boy and girl, to locally support
the present great drive. Unless we
give according to the need and ex-
pectation of our nation, these very
necessary welfare organizations will
be wanting in the Rhine provinces,
or on Russian soil, where our boys
are resting upon their arms. Be
willing then to assist and comfort
them. God loves a generous giver.
Give today"
Governor Alexander appeals for
support to the united war workers
campaign and says: 81 urge every
citizen of Idaho to rally to support
of united war work campaign and
do all in his or her power to make
this drive a splendid success for the
honor of Idaho and her gallant sons
who by their devotion to US have
gained the right to expect nothing
less than whole-hearted loyalty from
u.s."
