One of the. most. recent and in- teresting happenings in motor circles is the organization of the c. G. Reed & Son Motor Com pany, Carlisle, Ark. Their firm will distribute the Briscoe car in Lonoke county. Arkansas.
 In speaking of the matter of establishing this new business said in part
 At first 1 was hard to con vince that the BriScoe was just the car for our new firm. But after d thorough demonstration and after putting the car to SC were tests, driving 1t through mud and sand and over hills, I decided that I certainly could not find a better car anywhere and I count myself very fortu- nate In getting this agency The Briscoe is manufactured by the Briscoe Motor Corpora tion, Jackson, Michigan, 99 per cent within their own walls. The Herff Motor Corporation of Memphis is direct Factory Rep resentative and they. through these sales and the advertising department, will assist me ma terially in establishing the Bris COG in my territory.
 T believe that the coming season will be the biggest in the history of the automobile indus. tries and it goes without saying that we expect to do our part. We intend to make Briscoe the best kn own car in our territory. {"

 FOR BEEKEEPER
Not Always Easy to Determine Whether Cellar Is Giving Sat-
 isfactory Results.
THERMOMETER IS NECESSARY
Few Measures Given So That Keeper May Decide Whether Methods Could Be Improved-There\
 Should Be No Moisture.

tPrepared by the United States Depart
 ment or Agriculture.)
 It is often difficult for the beekeeper to know whether his bee cellar is giv- ing the best results, for he may not have been able to determine from reading or observation of other eel lars whether 1t is satisfactory. Below are given few measures which the beekeeper may apply to his apiary and his cellar, so that he may be able to decide whether his methods of eel lar wintering should be improved.
 O During the winter q thermome- ter inserted in the entrance of the hive should show a temperature of at least 90 degrees Fahrenheit
 CD There should never be any con- densed moisture on the covers of the hives, and certainly never any on the bottoms.
 keep Cellar Dark.
 (3) While the cellar should be kept dark at all times, if candle is held at the entrance of hive at the end of January it should be several sec
 
 cluster. Frequently the cellar doors may be opened in March without dis. turbing the bees.
 (4 There should never be many dead bees on the bottom of the hives. The live bees should be able to push them out as they die during the win ter. The bees thus carried out will be found OE the cellac fic 1T just below the entrances. If there are bees all over the floor, it shows that these bees have flown from the hives-an indication of poor wintering.
 (5) The bees should be quiet during the late winter. Noise at this time indicates that the bees are disturbed by an accumulation of feces, caused by low temperatures or poor food (6) If the bees were in good condi- tion in the fall and have been wintered well, the loss during the winter will never be more than One-sixth of the to- tai population of the hive. Such a loss is excessive. however, and in a well-wintered colony it may be as low as hundred bees. This probably de- pends to large extent on the age of the bees which go into winter, and if the temperature is right, and the stores good there will be almost no loss of | vigorous bees.
 @ The bees should not leave the hive while they are being carried

from the cellar. If they do. it indi- cates that they are excited by an &C., emulation of feces.
 No Spotting.
 (8) Before removal from the eel lar there should be no spotting of the hives from dysentery. There may be a little spotting after the bees have had a free flight outside, but if this is small in amount 1t does not indi- cate a serious condition.
 (9) When the bees are taken from the cellar there should he no moldy combs, for the cellar at the right tenn perature will be too dry for the growth of molds.
 (1O) There should be no brood when the colonies are taken from the cellar. Brood-rearing in the cellar is proof that the cellar is too cold or that the food used by the bees is inferior.
 CID Enough brood should be in each colony at the opening of the main honey-fow to fill completely 12 Lang stroth frames.
 12) The population of the hive should not decrease appreciably after the bees are removed from the cellar. Such a condition. known as spring dwindling, is an indication of poor win tering. For three weeks after the hives are set out no new bees will be emerging, but the loss of bees during the time should be so small as not to be noticeable.

SCHMIDT HAS THE FEVER

BALTIMORE. March 12.--Base ball
fever, a. certain. something which gets
into a mans blood, and even worms
its way into his very marrow, about
this time of the year--has claimed for
a victim Charles (Butcher) Schmidt
one of the greatest first basemen ever
turned out in this country. I would
not be surprising if the Butcher sud
denly cast aside his knife. saw. steel
and cleaver TO pick up the bat and
the trusty mitten and hike for the dia'
mond--that is provided there j:
enough money in it.
Hardly a month has passed since ht
announced his retirement that some
one has not sounded out the big bo,
who started his career with Evergreen
Lawn as pitcher. Only q few days
ago an agent Of one of the majors
spent a few hours talking to Butcher
about q comeback. but this man go,
little satisfaction, because his offer
while fIatterfng, was not big enough
to be convincing.
Schmidt still Is the property Of the
Boston Braves, unless the Beaneaters
have failed to carry him on their re-
serve list. He signed threo-yeaI
contract with them some time ago and
played through just one season o. it
after which he retired because he
found his butcher business demanded
his attention. But now Charles has
come to the conclusion that base ball
fever is fatal--that it is liable to carry
him of unless heroic treatment ts
resorted to Immediately.

| A good left-handed pitcher Is neces.
| sary to a ball club that hopes to wir
| the pennant."
That Is the remark Manager Hughey
Jennings of the Detroit Tigers made
to me one day last summer. The Tigers
| were getting nowhere In the race, due
in a measure, to a lack OF consistent
pitching. and If you take the word OF
Hughey Jennings, to a decided lack OF
southpaw stars in particular.
"If the Cleveland club had south
paw of the Ruth type. that club would
just about win the pennant this year.
continued Jennings. The Cleveland
club has been -acking in that depart
ment, just as much as Detroit since
the injury to harry Covaleskie's arm
That Jennings still carries the
thought club must have a good
southpaw, has been proven by deal
recently put through by the owner
of the Detroit team, Frank Navin. In
a three-coruered deal the Tigers ac-
quired the services of Slim Love OF the
New York Americans. Perhaps there
are some who doubt Jennings reaiiy
landed a star southpaw in Love pot IL
one takes into CONSIDERATION Ing
dearth of high-class pitching material
he will admit that Love is far above
the average as port side hurier.
Just one thing stands between Love
and stardorn--lack of ambition. Love
has as much stuff as Rube Waddetl IN
his palmy days. He has q peculiar
side arm, as we'll s over hand, de-
livery and his six feet seven inches OF
height tend to make his ball look all
the more deceptive.
Il would not be at all surprising TO
me IL the 'peppery" leader of the Tigers
supplied Love with the necessary ambi-
ton to raise him to the rank of star.
Love always has pitched in a matter-of-
fact manner. If he won. the big fellow
was satisfied and if he lost-well. why
fuss about it. That was his attitude
Now if there is one thing Jennings ad-
mires in an athlete it is the do-or-die
spirit, with the emphasis on the do: 1t
Hughey on many occasions this year,
and it is possible such a system will
supply the incentive the big fellow al
ways has lacked In this connection,
the case of Harry Covaleskie strikes me
as a peculiar coincidence. 1t is worth
while to relate some facts to show what
can be done to help fellow over the
hurdles
When Jennings secured Covaleskie
from a. Southern League club other ma
jor league teams Uttered and wondered
what Detroit intended 10 do with
"Covie." Outside of having trimmed
New York out of pennant by beating

BASE BALL ON THE INSIDE
BY BILLY EVANS.

/, them three straight when with the Phil
lies. Covaleskie's career as a big Lacquer
had not been success. He had niV-
vered" at New York and Cincinnati.
In the minors he was the big, noise,
but general opinion was he lacked some
little thing that kept him from being q
big Lacquer. Rumor had it Covaleskie
wilted under pressure, that he was not
game. That was the rumor ] always
had heard: but ! am positive those re.
sponsible for 1t did Coyaleskie great
injustice. I feel he was victim Of cir
cumstances until he came to Detroit;
that he was never properly handled to
get the best results. He has proved his
gameness time and again to me, In some
OF the. most critical situations on the
ball field.
George Moriarity. a member of the
Tigers when Cevaleski joined the
club. now an American League UNI
pire. tells an interesting story about
Covaleskie'S coming to the Tigers.
I'VE had heard that Covaleskie had
plenty of stuff. but that he wilted
under pressure. Our club needed
southpaw badly, so the team under di-
rection of Manager Jennings agreed
to adopt a certain method of dealing
with Covaleskie Most of the players
ment was such. riding did him no
good, and we learned riding was the
only encouragement he had ever re-
ceived in the majors. The team de-
clded, instead of cussing Covaleskie,
it would slip him nothing but praise
We would insist he was the best
southpaw in the world. The team
worked along that line from the day
Covaleskie Joined the Detroit club
until an injury to his arm caused his
withdrawal from the majors"
There was no situation on the field
too tough for Covie," continued Mori-
arity. He welcomed being sent into
the box with the bases filled and a
run or two needed by the opposition
to win. At such times he ALWAYS
showed to the best advantage. Any
time we were in a tough series
Covaleskie always was willing to
work as often as Jennings desired.
We never found the least desire on
the part of Covaleskie to wilt. He
always was ready and willing to meet
the toughest kind of an emergency.
Other clubs with which Covaleskie
played never had handled him proper-
ly!~ He always was rubbed against
the grain
The Tigers undoubtedly worked a
reformation in CoyaIeslSie. 1t is not
unlikely they will supply Love with
the needed enthusiasm. Love will
relish not pitching against Cobb He
always insisted that facing the Tigers
was like pitching two games, one
against Detroit, the other against
Cobb.

Conditions in 1914.

At the opening of 1914 pine-tenths
of the dyes used in American indus
tries were supplied by German houses.
The outbreak of the war cue off the
importation of dyes from Germany.
Immediately there sprang up a num-
ber OF American companies to manu-
facture dyes They averted the
threatened dye famine. The dyes
produced compared fayorabIy with
German dyes. but the fast alizarin
and apthracene colors were not pro-
duced. nor was the synthetic indigo,
the consumption of which is larger
than any other dye. At the time Mr.
Palmer took office. he says, the re-
quireuents of the textile manufac-
tories We're being met and an export
trade had grown up. The prices.
however rose enormously. But the
American position was insecure. I'm
less the Germans could be deprived
Of American branches their re-en-
trance int the field would be easy.
The report then cites concrete
cases OF its activities. and says that
the Idea was conceived that IL the
German chemical patents could be
placed in the hands of any American
institution strong enough to protect
them real obstacle might be OPP
posed to German Importation after
the war, and at the same time Amer
ican industry might be freed from
the prohibition enforced by the pat
! ents against the manufacture of the
most valuable dyestuns.
