HONEY is PROFITABLE CROP
Product Is Always In Good Demand

Have Made Good Profits.

There is always a ready sale for
good honey. the members of home
clubs organized by the department OF
agriculture and the state agricultural
colleges have discovered. Some men,

of the work One in Morgan county,
Kentucky, is known as the Bee
Woman" not only because of the size
of her enterprise but because Of her
ability in handling the swarms- She
had 80 hives Of bees last summer.
From IS OF them she has harvested
500 pounds of honey in six months.
The home-demOnstration agents teach
up-to-date beekeeping to any women
in their counties who are interested In
bees. Often the difference between a
money-making swarm and a hive
which barely supplies its own needs
is lack of knowledge.

MoMENToUS DAY IN HISTORY
Julius Caesar Said to Have Landed in
Britain on TWenty-seVenth Day
of August.

According to calculations carefully
made and that, at the least, estab-
lish a probable case, August q is the
anniversary of the landing of Julius
Caesar in the island of Britain
In his wars that resulted in the con-
quest of Gaul, or modern France, Ju-
Illus Caesar kept a journal, in which
he recorded all his operations. He
called it, Commentaries, and ii has
been pronounced to be perhaps the
best record of campaigns ever writ
ten by a general in the field.
In the midst of these operations he
found time TO cross the channel and
pay a military visit to the land known
now as England. but not so known
then, for the ancient Britons then in
habited the island. He states the year
of that visit, which. according to our
calendar, was So B. c. He also states
other facts which enabled the calcu-
iation as to month and day to be
made.
Caesar in his journal. or "Commen-
taries," relates that he set out on the
expedition when little of summer re-
NAMED, when the people OF the south
of Britain are engaged in their har-
vest, and that after a stay OF three
weeks, he returned TO Gaul before the
equinox. It Is, therefore, concluded
that the day Of landing must have
been in August

der, shipping clerk and reporter its
waters were sweetened by the inti-
mate relationship which developed be-
tween him and the members OF the
Duncan household. He continued his
studies under Mr.. Duncan's direc-
tiOns; two, three, and even four nights
In the week found him at work in the
comfortable den, or, during the warm
weather, on the screened porch that
overlooked the family garden. Mrs.
Duncan, motherly, and yet not too
mOtherly-she might almost have been
an older sister appealed to the young
man as an ideal of womanhoOd. Her
soft, welI-modulated voice seemed to
him to express the perfect harmony
of the perfect home, and underneath
its even tones he caught glilnpses OF
reserve of power and judgment not
easily unbalanced. And as Dawes eyes
would follow her the tragedy of his
own orphaned life bore down upon
him and he rebelled that he had been
denied the start which such a mother
could have given him.

he would reflect, with a grim smile.
''Never mind. l will do three mems
work for the next ten, and then we
will be even"
And there was Edith-Edith who
had burst so Unexpectedly upon his
life that first evening in her fathers
home. He had not allowed himself
any fOolishness about Edith. It was
evident Edith was pre-empted, just as
he was pre-empted, and the part of
honor in his friends house was to rec
ognize the status quo. Still,
Mr.. Allan Forsyth was unnecessarily
self-assured. He might have made it
less evident that he was within the
enchanted circle while Dave remained
outside. His complacence irritated
Dave almost into rivalry. But the
bon camaraderie of Edith herself
checked any adventure of that kind.
She was of about the same figure as
Reenie Hardy-a little slighter per-
haps; and about the same age; and
she had the same quick, frank eyes.
And she sang wonderfully. He had
never heard Reenie sing, but in some
strange way he had formed a deep
conviction that she would sing much
as Edith sang. In love, as in religion,
man is forever setting up idols to rep
resent his ideals-and forever finding
feet of clay.
Dave was not long in discovering
that his engagement as cOachman was
a device, born Of Mr.. Duncan's kind
ness, to enable him to accept instruc-
ton without feeling under obligation

she had been a reader to children, as
she had previously at Hull house in

for it. When he made this discovery
he smiled quietly to himself and pre-
tended not to have made it. To have
acted otherwise would have seemed
ungrateful to Mr.. Duncan. And pres
emily the drives began to have a
strange attraction of themselves.
When they drove in the two-seated
buggy on Sunday afternoons the party
usually comprised Mrs. Duncan and
Edith, young Forsyth and Dave. Mr..
Duncan was interested in certain Sun
day-afternoon meetings. 1t was Mrs.
Duncan's custom to sit in the rear seat
for its better riding qualities, and it
had a knack of falling about that
Edith would ride in the front seat
with the driver. She caused Forsyth
to ride with her mother, ostensibly as
a courtesy to that young gentleman
a courtesy which, it may be conjec-
tured, was not fully appreciated. At
first he accepted it with the good ma
ture of one who feels his position Sc
cure, but gradually that good nature
gave way to a certain testiness of
spirit which he could not entirely con-
ceal.
The crisis was precipitated one fine
Sunday in September, in the first year
of DGe's newspaper experience. Dave
called early and found Edith in a rid
ing habit.
Mother is Indisposed, as they say
in the society page" she explained.
SIN other words, she doesn't wish to
be bothered. So 1 thought we would
ride today"
"But there are only two horses"
said Dave.
"Well?" queried the girl, and there
was q note in her voice that sounded
strange to him. There are only two
of u.s."
'eBut Mr. Forsyth"
'He is not here. He may not come.
Will you saddle the horses and let
US get away?"
1t was evident to Dave that for some
reason Edith wished to evade Forsyth
this afternoon. A lovers quarrel, no
doubt. That she had q preference for
him and was revealing it with the
utmost frankness never occurred to
his sturdy, honest mind. One of the
delights of his companionship with
Edith had been that it was real COM
panionship. None of the Limitations
occasioned by any sex consciousness
had narrowed the sphere of the frank
friendship he felt for her. She was
to him almost as another man, Jet

cussed are especially adapted to the
Pacific coast states, but with mod
ifcations will apply to all localities
where moles are found.
MusE<rats STU Numerous.
While minks, raccoons, and skunks
have become somewhat scarce in GER
tain localities, muskrats have not d.
minished in numbers except in places
where the marshes have been drained.
These animals multiply much more
rapidly than many other fur bearers,
and because Of their aquatic retreats
and their habits are better fitted to
maintain their numbers under rea-
sonable protection. Muskrat pelts this
season should bring from IS cents to
50 each. Though the price Of cottUn-
tail rabbit skins is low-15 cents to
So cents a pound for dry cased skins
this source OF income should not
be overlooked by the temperatures,
as frequently a large number of these
animals can be caught in the course
Of the winter. There is frequently
good market for the rabbit meat also.
Among other fur-bearing animals
more or less widely distributed
throughout the country are opossuns,
badgers, and, for western regions,
coyotes and wolves.
Handling the Fur.
If the farmer who temporarily turns
trapper is to realize the best prices for
pelts, he must learn the proper meth
DDS Of handling them. Most skins
should be leased" for the market. a
cased skin is one removed from the
carcass after Sitting the hind legs
but not the belly Of the animal, there
by leaving a tubular shaped pelt. The
skin is left with the fur turned in, and
dried on a Stretcher made of thin
board sharpened to a point, or OF
heavy galvanized wire.
The biological survey Of the United
States department Of agriculture fur
nishes on application information re-
garding the trapping of fur-bearing
animals, laws relating to the subject,
and the preparation Of pelts. It also
supplies inquirers with lists Of buyers
for various kinds of pelts.

The most notable development of the
week in the fortign exchange market
came yesterday, when francs and lire.
which have been conspicuously weak.
hrmed up. The dollar would buy only
o.3o francs yesterday, compared with
ga on Thursday. The dollar was ex-
changeable yesterday for S.31 lire,
against $40 on Thursday.
Bankers thought the proposed high
French taxes reacted on the exchange
situation, but were inclined to seek the
dominant factor elsewhere. Reports
abroad to the effect that the American
bankers were primed to launch an in
vestment trust or to devise some other
instruments for financing European
trade are believed to have strengthened
French and Italian rates.
At the end OF the wick sterling ex-
change showed no significant change
from ITS position week ago. although
Its tendency remained weak Bclgiand
francs moved along with French francs
and lire, but the rtst of the European
countries were fairly steady.
The focal point in the speculations of
exchange dealers is the time and the
method which American bankers will
choose to. finance commerce with the
Old World If il were not for the con-
fidence that something will be done.
bankers observe, the movement of the
exchange rates against Europe would be
virtually endltss.
II you calculate the cost of the dol
lar in terms of foreign money at cur
rent exchange value-that is, if you
were buying dollars with mounds
marks or francs--its value at the close
OF last week, as compared with a year
ago, would be about as follows:

Launch Drive for
Foreign Trade in
u. S. Knit Goods
Industry Opens Exposition
Designed to Introduce
American Manufacturers
Products TO Foreign Buyer

Introduce the foreign buyer to
American goods either IN this country
or in his native land is a policy that
the National Association OF Hosiery
ad Knit Underwear Manufacturers has
adopted in seeking foreign trade. To-
morrow the foreign trade department
of the association will open it's first
knit goods export exposition in the
Commercial Museum Exposition Build
ing, in Philadelphia. More than four
hundred manufacturers of cotton wool
and silk hosiery, underwear, sweaters,
fancy knit goods and knitted cloth Will
be represented in the exposition. AL
most every state in the Union will have
one or more of its factories products
shown. The exposition will continue
until June ii.
The association intends to follow up
this first shot at foreign trade with
exhibitions in foreign countries, prob
ably under the direction of a Webb
Pomerene export corporation to be
formed among members Of the organi-
cation.
rotary of the export exposition, buyers
from South America, Scandinavia and
Australia. particularly have signifed
their intention OF visiting the eXposi-
ton. Amercanknit goods already are
sold in these foreign lands and are en~
joying an increasing popularity. One
of the largest English jobbers who
does business all over the Continent Of
Europe is making strenuous efforts to
attend the exposition, and so are
French and Spanish merchants.
South America is said to offer the
greatest field for development OF Amer
lean export trade in knit goods. and a
whole shipIoad of buyers from South
and Central America is expected at the
exposition. One Of the first of the pro-
jectcd foreign exhibits probably will be
established in some central point in
South America
On Tuesday, Wednesday and Thurs
day the National Association Of
Hosiery and Knit Underwear Manufact-
urers will hold its fifteenth annual con-
vention in the same building with the
exhibit. Among the topics set for dis
cussion are foreign trade and a uni
form form of contract for knitting
mills, the need for which has been made
apparent in the last few years A con-
tract which has been prepared by a
trained attorney law who also is an
extensive manufactures will be present
ed for adoption. Former President
William II. Taft VIII be one of the
speakers at the banquet which will
bring the convention to a close.
The assoc iation will hold its usual
knitting arts exposition, in which knit
ting machinery, yarns and other sup
plies used in the industry will be shown
by their manufacturers.
