who is member of boys club of the
Twin Falls farm bureau, expects to
net $500 from his six-acre bean patch
this summer. The beans already are
contracted for at SIT a bushel, and it
is estimated that the gross returns
will be $S40. The boy is renting the

Raising bees for the stings pays ar
}, Eastern woman better than keeping
them for the honey which they would
; produce. From these stipgs is secured
the purest formic acid obtainable, and
the customers are the manufacturing
druggists Of the country. In the past
wenty-four years this woman has sup
piled one firm with twenty-five thou
sand stings annually; other concerns
take from five hundred to five thou
sand each year, making q yearly trade
OF fifty thousand stiDgs. To produce
this number, but two colonies Of bees
are necessary, while it would require
nifty colonies TO make an amount of
honey equal in value to the stings. The
method Of taking the sting from q bee
is simple. The bees are first gathered
In . specially arranged box, by shak-
ing comb on which they are working
over the mouth Of the box. Next. in
. room with all the shades but one
drawn, the box is opened As the
bees come out Of the box they are at
traeted to the lighted window, and
.iuster there on glass or screen. Mrs.
'cekeeper picks up the insects by their
leads and holding them under mag
iifying glass, draws the stings. For
his purpose small pair of tweezers
. used. The stings are placed in a
ish filled with milk sugar, which
overs them with coat that prevents
ecay. Each sting contains a small
mount of formic acid, which is re-
loved by distillation. This acid is
'ed in the treatment of rheumatism
homeopathic physicians, being ad-
in much reduced strength,
hile doctors Of the regular school
e 1t, reduced one-half, for restoring
'cuiation in cases of paralysis, APP
wing it externally. Formic acid was
e of the first of the solid-fat acids
covered. 1t was originally obtained
distiling common red ants (formica
'a) from which the name is derived.

ADVISORS URGE
OWNERS TO PUT
TOWN IN ORDER

Petitions asking U. S. Commits
sioner R. S. Mcdonald to order a
special election for the considera-
ton of the question of choosing a
board of trustees to direct the af-
fairs of the town of Nenana in
conjunction with the Land and In
dustrial Department of the Alaskan
Engineering Commission, as provid-
ed for in law enacted during the
last session of the territorial legis-
lature, were formally approved at
a meeting Of the advisory board,
held at the townsite office last night,
and the secretary of the board was
instructed to present the signed pc
titions to the commissioner with the
request that action be taken imme-
diately.
The petitions, authorized at a pre-
vious meeting of the advisory board,
were circulated among the property
owners, and when turned in at the
meeting last night, contained the
names of AZ persons. The number
L., =.
The next step, under the law, is
| for the commissioner to set a date
for public hearing on the question
!, of holding an election, at which
time arguments may be advanced
| for and against the proposition
Then, if in the opinion of the com.
missioner such action seems war.
ranted, a formal order will be is.
sued for a public election, whe-
the voters will be given another op.
portunity to say whether or moi
they want a board of trustees to as.
lsist in the management of the town
The election also will be for tbs
purpose of choosing a board of trus
tees.
The board of trustees provided
for in the new law will be an i'm
proven ert over the advisory boar
elected year ago, inasmuch as the
members will be vested with real
although limited, authority. They
Twill be able to do things, wherea:
the members of the advisory boarc
can act in an advisory capacity only
The terms of the advisory board
members expire on August 10.
The trustees, of whom there will
be seven, in case it is decided t.
elect such board, will serve with
ont salary, as do the members O,
the advisory board, and their power
to assess is limited to one-half OF
one per cent.
The argument is advanced tina
the election Of a board Of trustee
is advisable because of the fact tina
lit will give the town a chance 4
get used to self-government befor,
actually taking over the manage
ment from the Land and Industrial
department at the end of the five
year period. The advisory boarc
now serving has been a help to tn
town and a help to the townsit'
management, and board of trus
tees, it is pointed out, will prov
even more beneficial to the town b,
reason of the greater authority tn
members will have.
