Reekccpine. Notes.

Clemson College, April 9.-Spring
IS upon us. It Will soon be warm
enough to transfer bees from the box
gums Or soap boxes to standard
frame hives, says the Extension Ser
vice bee specialist.
Do not let people talk you into
buSin:; anything less than a ten
frame hive. An eight-trame hive
costs about % cents less than a ten
frame and if you go after your bees
and develop them into good strong
you did not set the ten-frame hive.
I, is easy to reduce the space in a
hive with division boards if this be-
comes necessary, but when you have
{, big, boiling, roaring colony they
need the space and you can not add
1t when your hive is TOO small in the
first place. II you make your hive,
be sure to make them the exact size
of 81 standard ten-frame hive so that
you can transfer any frames at any
time from one hive to another.
No. Bees 10 not injure sound
fruit of any kind. They will visit
injured fruit and gather the lost sap.
Now do not argue about it; watch it
and see for yourself.
DO not handle your bees until It
is warm enough or you may chill the
young brood Do your work in the
walmest part Of the day when the
OLD bees arc in the field gathering
honey and not at home to bother you.
Give the bees sufficient room.
Crowding is one of the most common
inducements to Swarming. When
crowded or poorly ventilated. they
will cluster in front Of the hive. This
does not pay. for they get the habit
of loafing. Keep them at work.
Proven. swarming just as much as
possible, for it is the worst thins
bees can do to break up their honey
gathering power.
The Old queen goes with the first
swarm. Keep her.
Remember our article on proper
hivne of swarms II you have lost
il. We will send you another.
II you buy bees, load them before
hitc1ing the horse t'nhitch the
horse before unloading. y

japanese Search Houses

Soule, April u {By the Associated
Press).-The houses Of seven Amer
lean missionaries at Pyeng Yang in
Northern Korea were searched by the
japanese at the time Of the arres.
early this week OF the Rev. Eli NJ,
Mowery, Presbyterian missionary,
according to official adviceS, The OF
fetal report says the Japanese au-
thorities obtained knowledge that Ko-
reans engaged in editing and cisculat-
ing news of the independence move
ment were hiding, in the Rev. Mr..
Mewery's residence and were issuing
a newspaper and circulars from the
house. More than 40 policemen were
stationed around the house during
the. search to prevent the escape OF
the suspects. Eleven Koreans, in
cluding a girl, were arrested, 1t is
said, and three copying presses and
documents relating TO the lndepend-
ence were seized. Six Of those ar
rested were found guilty and sent tc
prison. The others were freed.
The Rev. Mr.. Mowery, the report
adds. is charged with harboring per
sons actively engaged in propaganda
instead of permitting the use Of his
premises for printing propaganda a:

To Discourage Profanity

And now movement has been start
ed to check the growing evil OF pro-
family. And strange to say, the crusade
in its present form originates not with.
the accepted custodians of morals but
from one Of the leading motion pic
ture companies. This concern, organ
lied 20 furnish amusement in forms
intended to appeal to popular taste,
has announced its intention of in
structing all it's scenario writer's to
omit profane language from the con-
versations Of their characters. Under
stress of war excitement, says the
statement referred to short and ugl-
Words" as the late colonel Roosevelt
would have called them, were practi-
cally indispensable. They were sane
toned by the use even in the pulpit
as a vehicle for the expression Of
righteous Indignation, and the people
were not slow to redouble their use Of
words that had come in rather too
conveniently. Now that the war is
over. it is felt by many that effort
should be made to discourage profan-
ity which has become common even
among young girls who perhaps trace
their first instruction in such epithets
and eXpletives to the screen.
The movie managers base their
argument purely on moral grounds,
which is gratifying. 1t is. moreover,
obvious that the use Of profanity is un-
desirable for those who wish to attain
command of a flexible and vigorous
1t is far easier to throw in
a 'cuss word" than to form the habit
Of using one that will carry with it
more signs or real mental action.

Refused to Help
Japanese
Graves Gives Correct Report of
Siberian Trouble

Washington. April, 10-Reports OF
changes in regulations governing cen
sorship Of cables were denied today
by Acting Secretary of State Polk.
who stated that cables from all Euro
pean countries except France and Eng
/. land were censored only by officials
of this country. French and English
cables are censored by officials in those
countries, he said, while the United
States exercises Il similar censorship
over messages to Great Britain and
France originating in this country
Ny. Polk said there had been many
sensational reports recently that were
unjustifled.
This statement followed closely one
by Acting Secretary Crowell at the
war department specifically denying
published report that Maj. Genera
Graves, commanding the Unied States
forces in Siberia, had reported the
failure Of American troops to aid the
| Japanese in recent engagement WIS
due to the fact that the japanese had
shot down women and children.
1t was disclosed that the engage
ment in question. which has been the
subject Of various dispatches from
Vladivostok and Tokyo, was fought at
Habarvosk on February 25 by Japa-
inese unit against revolters against
General Horvath, one of the Siberian
military commanders with whom the
allies have cooperated and that no
American troops were in the vicinity
| at the time. The Japanese force liter
ally was wiped out.
| Some unofficial dispatches from the
East have created the impression that
Americans stood by. refusing to go tc
the aid of outnumbered allies. 1t was
officially explained today as mat
ter Of fact the japanese commando
had asked for cooperation in advance
and ordered the expedition unaided
after being informed that the Ameri-
cans could not participate in an at
tack upon people who were not recog-
nized as enemies or Bolsheyiks.
; General Graves, report outlining this
state of facts said the revolt against
General HorvaIh was caused by al
legetl atrocities. such as the killing Of
pears to have been local, however, and
officials Of both the state and war de-
partments regard the attitude Of Cen
eral Graves as entirely proper. The
American commander had very posi-
tive instructions when he went to Si-
IBERIA to refrain from interfering with
local controversies and political move
ments.
The policies Of the United States and
Japan as to the conduct Of operations
in Siberia and the reasons for the
presence OF allied troops at Vladivos-
tok, it was officially stated, are the
same although a difference Of opinion
as to the extent to which the troops
should be used. An understanding or
this point is expected. but it was
pointed out that in the mean time the
local situation might result in the
questions arising that would have tt
/ be settled either through conference
! of the military commanders on th'
ground or by diplomatic agencies.
