I was the envy of the whole section,

At nine reported to the captain, re-

asked me how much money 1 wanted

handed me one hundred.

Next day, Fritz opened up as usual.
I let him IRE away for q while and
then butted In with my "pup-pup-pup-

while, used two belts Of ammunition.
Fritz had stopped firing to listen. Then
he started in; sure enough, he had
fallen for our game, his gun was trying
to initiate mine, but, at first he made
horrible mess Of that tune. Again I
butted In with few bars and stopped.
Then he tried to copy what I had
played. He was good sport all right,
because his bullets were going away

friendly towardshim.

Dual Character In Men.

Most men are two characters under
the same hat. On the outside the one
wears mask of civility. good COM
radeship and progress. On the inside
is the Crouch, the scold, the pessimist.
Often the opposite is true. The outer
man is crusty. exacting and may even
be repellent. His other self Is the
warm, true soul that longs for love and
shows up best with few chosen
friends. In either case life is con-
stant contradiction, The men are real.
Each has his followers and each has
his special task in the world. The
unfortunate thing is we don't always
get men at their best and so lose much
of the better vision that would help
take little of the harshness from the
old world.-Pennsylvani Grit.

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 2h tons. That 100
colonies of bees can find nectar suffi-
cient to make 221h 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.

Is flowing freely bees do not get 1t all.
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 1t Is regret
table to find SO many beekeepers who
fall 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.

Care Make, Bee. EmieIent.

Because of lack of attention fully
half the bees now kept in the United

often condemned as Improbable. Prob

from the bureau Of markets. United
States department Of agriculture. Ex-
perimental shipments of maple, cane,

made from many parts Of the country
over many different mail routes. have
shown the possibilities of marketing
these products by parcel post. A total
of 894 trial shipments were made over
distances averaging 654 miles, q much
greater distance. 1t IL pointed out. than
sirups are likely to be sent by mail.
OF these shipments only three showed
any material loss of contents because
Of seepage or leakage and this was due
to unusually rough handling.
Tin Containers Used.
Two types Of tin containers were
found satisfactory for parcel post ship
ments of sirups and honey. Both
types have screw caps and are pro-
vided with outer cartons Of corrugated
paper board. The screw caps contain
snugly fitting pieces of cork that cover
the opening In the cans when the screw
caps are properly closed. AS protec-
tion to the screw caps, squares of cor
rugated paper board are placed on top
Of the cans beside the screw caps.

securely tied, marked fragile" as re-
quired by the postal regulations for
packages containing liquids, will carry

High Cost Of Containers.
While the cost of containers is high
at the present time, there are doubtless
many cases in which parcel post mar
keting would be desirable and economi-
cal, as sirups and extracted honey are
good substitutes for sugar. Sugges-
tions on obtaining customers and con-
Quoting business with them by parcel
post may be found in Farmers Bulletin
800, "Parcel Post Business Methods"
In order to retain customers, say the
specialists, 1t Is necessary that only
high grade products be Shipped, as the
principal incentive to buying by parcel
post is to obtain products Of high
quality. Persons desiring further par
