A DUTY OF CITIZENSHIP

Citizenship brings to all of us du-
ties as well as blessings, and it will
not do any harm II once In awhile
we take stock of ourselves and bal
ance our activities against our apa-
thy in matters of public concern.
Only in this way can we measure up,
as we should. each year little near
er to the standard OF sound Ameri-
canism.
We are going to talk very frankly
on one subject for few weeks and
it will be pleasure to receive from
time to time expressions from our
readers on what we have to say.
Their thought will guide us. More
over. it will disarn those who may
be disposed to criticize us as sound
ing a selfish note.
Every person in this and every
other community should give some
thought to the suggestion that adj
vertising be established as regu-
lar and legitimate part of govern
ment functioning. Those who study
the question OF government adverti-
sing will soon realize it to be the
plain duty of every good citizen to
play his little part in bringing Its
importance and necessity before the
recognized authorities. because it is
Of first Importance to the people.
Let 1t be understood at the out
set we are not advocating govern
ment advertising with any thought
of the small amount of revenue II
might bring to this newspaper. The
record of every country publisher
who gave away hundreds and thou
sands of dollars worth of space
during the war without thought OF
! fee or reward should be sufficient re-
futation of such thought This news
paper wants to see government ad-
vertising established because of the
immeasurable benefit it can be to
our farmers. because is can be made
to save thousands of lives every
year and millions of dollars for the
people.
The first thought the public should
digest is this: Government is not
something apart. Government is the
will of the people. The funds of the
government are supplied by the peo-
pie to be spent in the interest of the
people.

Gerard Urges
Ice Plant Here

S. A. Gerard, head of the firm OF
S. A Gerard & Co., commission mer-
chants of Cincinatti, were here a
couple of days this week and talked
with a good many of the business
men of the town and farms. Mr.. Ger
ard is most enthusiastic man
and a talk with him will put more
pep" in a fellow than he ever had
before.
Mr.. Gerard states than an ice plant
of considerable size must be put in
Ordway otherwise the cantaloupe in
dustry might soon be thing of the
past In its infancy;cantaloupes were
handled nicelyaswhen there were but
few car loads out each season, but
during the past few years the output
has grown so large that there is a
loss each year. and last year very
heavy loss, because of lack of ice.
An ice plant must be built to save
the situation, to save the industry.
At Provo.( Utah, stated Mr.. Gerard,
the melon business has been lost be-
cause of lack of the proper ice IA
cilities and that is what will happen
here unless the commission houses,
the railroad company and the bus
mess men of both farm and town
get behind the move. The Ordway
Commercial and Publicity Club has
been working on the proposition and
last Friday meeting was held in
Ordway with Missouri Pacific Off
cials and good cooperation was dis
played.
Mr.. Koozer, head of the A. r. T.
company will be here next week to
meet with the club and at that time
the president of a big ice company
will probably be here. 1t is desired
that all the farmers meet at that
time with the Club, announcements
of the meeting to be made later, and
further enlarge the cooperation.
Mr.. Gerard is on trip thru the
west to California. He likes to see
things for himself and know the con-
ditions in all the districts in which
he operates. Mrs. Gerard is with him
ON the trip.

ket Reporter, issued by the U. S.
Agricultural Department:
The value of honey to bakers and
confectioners as a result of the
shortage of sugar has raised the
price during 1918 and 1919 to the
highest figures of recent years. The
total production of honey is now es-
timated to be $50, 100000 pounds.
Recent prices would place the value
of this crop at fully s5O.00O.OOO.
The more commonly reorganized
grades of extracted honey are, Water
White, White. Light Amber, Amber,
and Dark. Quotations are frequently
seen on Extra Light Amber.
For few months after the Unit
ed States entered the war the jobb-
ing price of light amber extracted
continued low. dropping to 9 cents
per- pound in cans. in St. Louis. dur
ing July, 1917. Values increased
rapidly that autumn and winter,
pound in central and middle-west-
ern cities. The 1918 season opened
strongly at 1S to 23 cents per pound
and maintained generally stedy
ber sold at % to 2S cents per pound
in st. Louis and New York, with
lighter-colored stock bringing as
high as 29 to 80 cents in Cincinatti
The past season has been charac-
terizedby wide irregularity of price
ranges. St Louis held to 18 to 20
cents per pound for honey in cans
until April. sagged gradually to 13
to 16 cents in the summer, and since
August has kept a steady level of
Is to 16 cents per pound. The market
for light amber in New York City
broke sharpley in the spring, striking
low point of 13 cents per pound. All
other markets showed drop in
prices as the. new crop of honey came
on in late spring, WIN a carrying de-
PrCe of recovery in the fall, IN Chi
cago a decided slump occurred from
the 81 to % cent price last winter
to that of Is to II cents per pound
in May, and the light amber market
in that city has not since risen above
10 cents per pound.
The extraction of honey, allowing
as it does for the return of the comb
to the hive, permits the bees to put
more effort into honey making and
results in greater honey production.
Extraction therefore was encourag-
ed strongly during the war and the
sale of comb honey fell off cores
In contrast to the sharp setback
which extracted honey prices receiv-
ed during the spring of 1919 is the
steady level of comb quotations after
their sudden rise late in 1918. For
n month or so early in 1919 the
market weakened little; but 1t
soon came back, and prices in gen.
eral have been nearly as high this
winter as at any time during the
war. In Kansas City, No. comb
sold in June, 1917 as low as $3.65
per 24-section flat case. By the fol-
lowing January it had reached SIS
to $3.50 and when the new crop
came on in May of 1918 the market
was strong at $3.50 per case
Since then Kansas City figures have
ranged SO. SO to $3.50. and on Feb
ruary 2S of this year some sales
of light amber stock were reported
as high as $500 per case. The same
situation is seen in Chicago where
the jobbing price has advanced from
$3.50 to s4.75 per case in the fall
The Ordway new era., 1920-04-09

of 1917 to $7.22 per case at present
Reports from the Bureau of For
eign and Domestic Commerce indi-
cate that during the IL months end
ing July l 1919, this country ex-
ported 10,46S,342 pounds of honey
amount. 6,177.1S7 pounds went to
the United Kingdom alone, 1,385,25S
pounds to France. 1,O46,128 pounds
to Canada and Newfoundland. The
last six months of 1919 however,
showed a decrease in the exports of
honey, as only 2,71O.129 pounds
were exported during that period.
OF this amount the United Kingdom
236.747 and Canada 112 692 lbs.
The bulk of exported honey is in the
extracted state.
Beeswax is prepared from honey
comb after the honey is extracted
1t may be light or dark. depending
upon whether the comb came from
light-colored "cappings" or from old
or brood combs, which are darker
The color of the honey also affects
the color of the wax; clover or or
ange blossom honey produces light
er honey than does buckwheat. The
terms light and dark are relative
the color ranging from lemon yell
low from the best cappings to nearly
black. In its natural state wax usu-
ally contains propolis, dead bees, or
other impurities. AS beeswax melts
at As degrees F., the impurities may
be readily removed by placing the
wax in coarse bag, immersine it in
boiling water and pressing on the
bag with heavy weight. The pure
wax rises to the surface and is skim
med off. Sulphuric acid is employed
commercially in removing the i'm
purities and to give the wax lighter
color
At the request of the apiculturist
of the Bureau of Entmology. United
a market news service on honey and
reports are issued about the 1st and
5th of each month, are sent to
limited list. and contain information
from Boston. Chicago. Cincinatti,
Cleveland. Denver, Kansas City,
Minneapolis, New York, Philadelphia
st. Louis and st. Paul. Arrivals.
market conditions, and quotations
are shown in detail from each mar
ket. In addition. shipping point infor-
nation is included from San Fran
cisco and Los Angeles. The export
distribution of honey as secured
from the Bureau OF Foreign and Do
mestic Commerce, is also included
from time to time.
Whether man is a small producer
with only few hives or whether he
represents a large cooperative Or
sanization with crop of 40 cars,
these reports should be a consider
able value to him in disposing of the
crop and in preventing the sale of
honey below the market value. The
National Bookeepers' Association
rassed a resolution at their last
meeting expression appreciation OF
the news service; and the apicul-
tdrist of the department has stated
that the service has curbed the spec
ula!ive buying OF honey and has in
creased production.

NOME Alaska, April % (by the As

arrived at Anadir, a trading post on
the Boring sea. eastern Siberia. &C
cording to a wireless message re-
ceived here last night.
The dispatch gave no details other
than suggesting that the explorer had
reached the village in ship.
Last August Roald Amundsen was
reported to be drifting in his ice
locked schooner Maud somewhere
north of western Siberia. Nothing has
been heard from Amundsen directly
since September 1. 1918. when his
schooner was reported to be taking oil
for her motors at Dixsob Island, a
White sea point.
! From the White sea Amundsen ex-
pected to drift east with the ice to the
! New Siberian Islands. which lie in the
Arctic off Siberia. At the New Siber-
| ian Islands, it is believed the drift
would carry him toward. if not across
the pole. The explorer is reported to
! have carried two airplanes as part OF
his equipment. He expected to use
these if he found the drift would no,
carry him across the top of the
