BEES STARVE, URGE
ROCK CANDY RATION
Mild Weather Gives Honey.
Gatherers Unusual Appetite.

East Lansing, Mich, Feb'y 24.-Large
numbers of bees in many parts of the
state are on the verge OF starvation
this winter because of the prevailing
mild weather, according to B. F. Kindig
of M. A. c., state inspector of apiaries.
The unusual warmth is" said to have
made the honey-gatherers unusually
active and to have caused them to eat
up the stores of honey that otherwise
would have served them until the
flowers open in the spring.
"Unless many of these colonies are
fed, the loss from starvation will be
astonishingly high" declared Mr.. Kin
dig "As soon as the weather is warm
enough for feeding syrup, the bees
should be given a liberal allowance of
it, made from two parts of sugar and
one part of water.
"Hard candy is the most practical
thing to use during the cold weather
with bees wintering outside. The
recipe for making this hard candy is as
follows:
"To given quantity of hot water
slowly add an equal amount of granu-
lated sugar. Bring to boiling point
as soon as possible and do not stir after
the sugar is dissolved. A candy-makers
thermometer should be at hand and
the syrup should be boiled until it
reaches temperature of 275 degrees
F. The syrup should then be poured
into suitable pans lined with wax paper.
II directions have been carefully fol-
lowed the resulting candy will weigh
about the same as the weight of sugar
used and it will be very hard, quite
clear and of light straw color. If by
accident the syrup should be burned
the resulting candy would be as poison
to the bees and therefore should not be
used. In order to prevent burning,
the syrup should be allowed to boil
more slowly as the temperature rises.
This candy should be fed by placing il
directly above the cluster on the brood
| frames"

TO WHOM 1T MAY CONCERN:

am pleased to have an opportunity
to say a good word for Miss May
Stewart, School Commissioner of Char
levoix County. During the time that |
have taught school | have been more
or less familiar with the work OF several
county school commissioners From
what | have seen of Miss Stewards
work, believe she is the most pro-
gressive and educationally up-to-date
OF any commissioner | have known.
The splendid work which she is doing
and her realization of the big school
problems which are coming forward,
fit her unusually well for the important
position of School Commissioner OF
Charlevoix County.
Very truly yours,

THIRTY-SECOND HAS
FOUGHT 20 GERMAN
"CRACK" DIVISIONS.

Below is reprinted an article relative
to the Thirty-Second Division which
was printed in several dailies of the
middle west. II was originally an as
sociated press dispatch.
When the American army Of occupa-
ton started its march toward the Rhine
on November IL, one of our crack divis-
ions, the Thirty-second, was celebrat-
ing an anniversary. Just six months
before this division first planted the
American flag on German soil in Alsace.
On May 10, Wisconsin and Michigan
men came under enemy shell fire, and
from that date to November II, the
division has outranged Boche guns.
Only ten days after its turn in the
trenches the Thirty-Second chased the
Boche from the Ourcq to the Vesle.
Then it went to a sector north of Sois-
sons and stormed Juvigny Plateay,
fighting side by side with the herioc
"poilus" of General Mangin. After
that victory with the French it had a
rest for ten days before getting ready
for the final drive. The American armys
scrap north of Verdun was but three
days old when the Thirty-Second went
in and for the next three weeks the
Wisconsin and Michigan boys battled
the Boche for Kreimhilde Stellung. II
was they who finally broke through the
key position of ''La Dame Marie, from
which they then pushed on to Freya
Stellung pushing the Boche gunners
out of Banthaville Wood. They carried
the line up to the point where the
final attack, on November 1, was
launched, and followed in support of
the divisions which crossed the Meuse
at Dun and captured Stenay. In the
last few days of the war the Thirty
Second went into line in the Meuse
bridgehead sector, and with the French
were in the midst of an attack when
the armistice stopped fighting. During
the war the division has fought on five
fronts-Alsace, the Vesle, Scissors,
Argonne and the Meuse-and has
fought twenty of Germany's best divis-
ions, among them the Prussian Guards.
It has never yielded yard of ground
to the enemy's counter attacks.

MICHIGAN YOUNGSTERS
BOOSTING LIVESTOCK
Raise Hundreds of Head of
Calves. Sheep and Hogs,
and Much Poultry.

East Lansing, Mich, Feb'y 24.-Hun-
dreds OF Michigan youngsters have be-
come interested in building up the i'm
proved and purebred livestock indus
stry and have commenced learning the
things that will make them the leading
farmers OF the future as o result OF
work that has been done among them
within the last year according to re-
port from the office of boys and girls
clubs of M. A. c.
In the fiscal year 1918, the report sets
forth, boys and girls in various counties
were organized into % clubs for the
raising of purebred calves; % clubs for
the raising OF purebred hogs, IA clubs
for the raising of sheep, and 65 clubs
for the raising of poultry. AT the same
time they were instructed in the prin-
ciples OF improved livestock breeding
and farming, and encouraged to make
a beginning for themselves.
The amount of pork produced by the
pig clubs was worth s5246.4O; the total
value OF the eggs produced by hens
owned by members of the poultry clubs
was $9,690.60, the total value of beef
produced by the calf clubs was sl2, 1923
and the value OF mutton produced by
the sheep clubs was 81, 1850.
This work among the young people
of the state is conducted by the depart
\ ment of boys and girls club of M. A. C.
as an established feature of the exten.
sion service of the college.

OBSERVE
WASHINGTON DAY.

What is more effective in patriotic
exercises than the voices of children?
What is greater proof of pride in the
love of our country than lessons well
taught?
Both questions might well be asked
by all who attended the Washington
Birthday party in the w. r. c. rooms
on Saturday last In behalf Of the
Corps, the Patriotic Instructor, Mrs. H.
c. Swafford had presented the second
grade with Old Glory. Mrs. Harrison
had said that her boys and girls wished
to say Thank You" and would like to
come to the lodge rooms if they might.
They were indeed welcome. And how
did they say "Thank You?" They sang
songs, gave some yells for America and
for the "Dries" and entertained the
assembled guests with a playette, en-
titled "Our First American Flag" Com
mander Harrington spoke few words
in appreciation of their work to which
both teacher and pupils politely re-
sponded.
Miss Stewart spoke few words con-
corning the Father of our Country"
and what it meant for us then and
means to us now that we had strong
leader at that time.
The surprise part of the program was
that the ladies of the Corps had pre-
pared little party to accompany the
formahties. Doughnuts, real home
made doughnuts, and good hot coffee,
plenty for everybody, formed a treat
that once more made everybody glad
to be there.
