If You Have a Bee
 Don't Feed It Sugar

MOWN with the profiteering bee O keeper! That he exists in the land is vouched for by no less an au- thority than Dr. E. F. Phillips, of the bureau of entomology, Washington. Dr. Phillips said, in an address to the Ohio Beekeepers' association: "A beekeeper who sells all of his honey and then asks the government for sugar with which to feed his bees un- til next season is the worst kind of a profteer."
 There is nationwide movement under way to increase the production of honey. The governments purpose is to induce more individuals to make a business Of producing honey-to put it on . commercial basis. Judging from the statements made by ento- mologists, beekeeping is simplicity it. self, and is even more seductive to the suhmhamits taaan raising chickens,

FUTILITs OF LONG LIFE

Arthur Briabane, in the Chicago Herald
 and Examiner
 Concerning the colored preacher who lived to be l47, however, this may be said for the comfort of those that die young: It doesn't matter how long you live. What matters is how much you live.
 A turtle from the Galapagos Islands lives to be 906 years old. At the end he has seen less of life than the 1S-month- old baby that has gone through the intel- lectual excitement of fearing how to walk
 Columbus, when he saw land, Newton when his original calculations on the power of gravitation worked out ac;u- rately, Wright when his machine flew. and Archimedes when he jumped out ci the bathtub and ran naked down the street with the new idea in his mind, eli lived more in a few seconds than the av- craze centeparian lives in hund, ed years
 Death is one of the best, most useful and absolutely necessary institutions. For it wipes off the slate and starts us over again. The majority of men do not live long. because they are not fit to live long. The second period of 70 years would be wasted.

 The British advanced July 4. Raw troops from America were quickly withdrawn, and whether there was anything of the sort iE the tone of the order or not, they doubtless felt that it signified something like this: "There is work for real fighting men to do. We have no time to waste on amateurs"
 And that was probably why the Americans swore like veterans as they fell back to make room for British soldiers, who were to have all the glory of wrestling a French town from the Hun on the birthday of. Ameri- can independence.
 The fact that small contingent had traded uniforms with some Aus tralians billeted in the rear might have gone unnoticed-and unheralded around the world-if several of the brave fellows had not been wounded. Their telltale Identification tags gave them away.
 It is not uncommon for an Ameri- can raiding party to start out across "No Mans Land" in the darkness and for the young officer leading it to discover that he has four or five more men crawling after him than he thought he -dare-devils who were determined to go along, whether they were wanted or not.

Peanut Crop and
 Standard Grading

A LABAMA'S large peanut crop GA makes standard grading not only desirable but imperative if the best economic results are to be ob- tained by the growers. J. F. Duggar, director of the experiment station at Auburn and director of the co-opera- tive extension service, is giving earn lest attention to this. question and plans are being worked out for sell ling peanuts by grades instead of simply as peanuts"
 A recent circular issued by Profes- |sor Duggar tells of the conferences lheld at Scale, Union Springs, Enter prise and Ozark. A committee of specialists appointed to1consider grad ing plans attended. They had collected and studied samples of peanuts which were submitted to groups of farmers, bankers and oil mill men, who had been invited to criticize the proposed standards, and graded the samples ac- cording to the ideas of each individual. That both buyers and sellers, says
 Professor Duggar, would profit by
 the adoption of definite rules for the commercial grading of peanuts was strongly expressed by the men who
 took part in the conferences, and they urged the extension service, to con- tinue it's work along the lines referred to. It is expected that the final lraft
 of the proposed grades will be ready
 to submit by the first of September
 to any persons desiring to make a
 trial of the matter by actually. using

.GERMAN1A. DONE OVER

From the Popular Mechanics Magazine.
 A statue of "Germania." which has long occupied a niche in Cincinnati business block, has been transformed into Miss Columbia" One of the first steps in this novel change of character was to cut off Germania's head ruth lessly and substitute head the face of which expressed good will instead of imperiousness. The Teutonic armor was also obliterated and an American eagle and flowing draperies were substituted. On the shield that once bore the Ger man eagle now appear the Stars and Stripes; while on Columbia's head is an ornament set with stars.

 Beat, beat. hammers, beat!

THE CASE OF HUDDLESTON

1 for the under dog? Don't they know favor of the man against whom it is in- voked?
 Not only is such intervention likely to react in favor of those against whom 1t is invoked, but these men will then re- turn to Washington to become veritable ident and party caucus, when the pro5- ability is that they would have been de- feated but for the activity of outside in- fluences which so many voters resent. The Post is far from believing that the people of the Birmingham district in Ala of President Wilson, as many will inter- pret the renomination of MT. Huddleston to mean. They are merely opposed to the Presidents intervening in contest which they regard themselves as capable of deciding without outside assistance Of course, there are men in the Bir- mingham district who took the extreme view that the President was exceeding both the powers of his office and the proprieties ot his station and exhibiting trace of autocracy in attempting to die tate the personnel of a coordinate branch of the government but this view is not warranted.
 The blame is fairly attributable to tho exceedingly eager editors who in the in- tensity of their eagerness to defeat Hud- dleston beguiled the President into the mistake of intervention.
 The Post hopes that the President will refrain from yielding to similar solicita- tion hereafter, and that eager partisans at homs will fight their local battles without involving the President.
 For nothing is more certain than the fact that presidential intervention in local contests provokes feeling of re- sentiment in many minds.

 There is no lack of enthusiasm, and enthusiasm counts. The 5000 clubs |are increasing in number. There should be one in every county and it's membership should be large.

at price which made 1t unprofitable here.
 Now, it was to overcome this that
 the government took hand in 1t and got its agents to go through the south and make terms with farmers to plant an acreage sufficient for war purposes. IA price of $s.5O per 4s-pound bushel was agreed upon. There is every req son to believe that with this encour- agement even after peace is declared the industry will live and thrive. Now. it seems that each plant has it's own pest, and that the army worm is not to be deterred even by castox beans;
 but has been reported to be busy in Florida, where 5o.oo0 acres have been planted. A force of entomologists from the department of agriculture at Wash ington has been sent to the state to cooperate with the Florida authorities. who have already placed several in- spectors and agents in the fields to |help the farmers fight the enemies of the plants.
 At present the enterprise is in it's Infancy. The time for planting is after Iall danger of frost is over. They begin Ito mature in 12o days and continue to bear until frost. It is conservatively estimated that one acre will yield 2o bushels. They should be fertilised ac- cording to the quality of the soil. and |cultivated about like corn and cotton. They should be planted about five-by- Ifye. two or three seeds to the hill. and thinned to stand of one to hill.

Every man upon the force
 Has a watch and chain of courSe"-


 only, now it isn't chain, but leather wrist strap
 But how or earth do they make them all keep in step? Not the least of the minor miracles that come off every day along the front lines is the synchroniza- tion of these myriads of wrist watches. They do it, but how? Sometime before daylight the commander starts few dozen raiding parties. He begins with and he expects each one of score or so of company or battalion commanders to be at specified points, near the Boche line, at definite moments-one is to be at point A, let us say, at 6:1S, another at 5 at 6:2l, and so on. If they are not ex' actly where they are expected to be at the precise moment, the movement fatls or at least is dislocated. But they are there, and there on the exact minute!
 To do this, their watches, scores. some times hundreds of them, must run in per and those of the artillery officers behind them. How do they do it? The average watch is a temperamental brute, not to be trusted to the second, even with ths kindest treatment. We wish some cor respondent would explain how this mar vel of triumph over the innate perversity of watches is attained
