COUNTRY OF BEE KEEPERS
In Lithuanla the Production of Honey
Has Become an important Ma
tional Industry.

In Lithuania, when a bee stings a
man he turns the other cheek.
And almost literally, at that. because
II is a sin to kill bee, and no one
ever commits that sin Intentionally.
As a result Of their natural loneliness
for bees. Lithuanians. with the growth
of their economic system, have devel-
oped bee raising from a general social
custom to an important industry.
Thousands Of barrels of honey are ex-
ported from Lithuanla annually.
Almost everyone In Litfuanla has
at least one bee hive. Sometimes they
have thousands of swarms. But 1t is
common even in the cities TO have a
man serve you indus that is made
from the honey gathered in his garden
hive. Midus. the national drink of
Lithuania. is made from fermented
honey.

Drew Good Audience Sunday

Sunday was big day for the
church in Coventry, the afternoon be-
ing given over TO a special rally pro-
gram, including addresses by outside
speakers and music by local talent as
well as by other talent.
Rev. Southland led the devotional
exercises which consisted of congre-
gational singing, prayer and scrip
ture. Wallace II. Gilpin gave a talk
on temperance which urged the contin-
uance of educational effort in every
way and through every channel, stat
ing that education had overcome the
ridicule in which the prohibition was
first met and all other objections, but
that education was still necessary to
overcome conditions incident to a dry
nation.

solo with organ accompaniment by
Mrs. W. A Elliott, which was excep-

RESULTS OF CORN VARIETY
TESTS

During the past season the Farm
Bureau conducted corn variety tests
on three farms of the county TO de-
termine if the varieties PROVING su-

their superiority over a period OF

only three demonstrations were plant,
ed. However, these three continued
to prove the tests of past years that
certain varieties are better adapted
for Orleans county than others
