What the Enrolment Proves.

The first Presidential election al
which both sexes were permitted TO
vote had, as was expected, stimu-
lating effect on the interest of the
women Of this city.
In previous elections here the women
had been turning out in half their
potential strength. This year the en-
rolment was about three-iifths of the
qualified women.
Half million women enrolled.
More than half of that half million
enrolled as Republicans. The women
who declared their general sympaunc,
TO be with the Republican party out
numbered the combined women Demo-
Gratis, Socialists and Prohibitionists
by more than 10000.
Republicanism was in the air at
registration time In this tradition
ally Democratic city the Republican
enrolment Of men outnumbered the
Democratic enrolment Of men by 30,-
600. The women who professed Re
publicanism were $1,000 more than
their avowedly Democratic sisters.
SO on paper there were 10000 more
Republicans than Democrats in this
city. But what happened few weeks
later, when the sentiment of regis
tration day was crystallized into the
fact of election?
Did HARDING lead Cox in Greater
New York by only 10000? No; Cox
was beaten by 100000. He polled
scarcely four-ffths of the whole Dem
ocratic enrolment He did not poll as
many votes as there were men en-
rolled as Democrats.
Did AL SMITH lose New York by
10000? Not at all; he carried it by
about 100000
The enrolment figures prove just
two things: natural and encourag-
ing growth of interest among the
women, and Il general slant toward
the Republican party's way of doing
things. The enrolment was q sort of
rehearsal vote, particularly with the
women.
But the election figures are the ones
which should guide the Republicans
of New York city. 1t is plain to see
that thousands Of enrolled Democrats
voted for HARDING and that thousands
Of voters with nationally Republican
sympathles voted for SMITH.
The gentlemen who talk about win
ming the Mayoralty next year with n
straight Republican ticket will do well,
after cheering the glorious enrolment,
to study the election returns. Enrol
ments are exercise gallops. Elections
are races.

Hail the magical tree of trees.
Brightest of all the Star 1t sees.
Sweeter its song than birds or bees!
Never for drought or blight it cares.
1t is immune TO such affairs,
Nothing can harm the crop it bears.
Potent the charm II has for men,
Under a spell beyond our ken
Age recaptures it's youth again.
What If the SHOWS OF winter cling?
This is the tree of eternal spring
Childhood orders it's blossoming.

Quoted over period of years has

BEEKEEPERS NEGLECT COLONIES
10, DURING WINTER MONTHS

Thousands of colonies of honey bees
in Pennsylvania that receive reason
able attention through the greater
part of the year, are allowed to shift
for themselves throughout the winter
under the erroneous impression that
the bees hibernate like other insects.
This condition has been found by the
Pennsylvania Department of Agricul-
ture, which keeps in close touch with
the bee keepers of the State, through
its apiary inspection service.
Three things are absolutely essen
tial if the bees are to be brought
through the winter in prime shape.
They must be provided with an abun-
dance of stores of good quality, must
have protection from the wind and
cold and must have ample room for
rearing brood at appropriate times.
Stores of good quality consist of
honey well ripened and of sufficient
quantity to supply colony needs until
the spring honey flow. If bees are
wintered out doors at least As pounds
Of honey should be allowed for each
colony.
The protection needs vary accord
ing to location, but everywhere in
Pennsylvania hives should be protect
ed without side covers and packing, or
the hives placed in cellars arranged
and constructed for the purpose. The
object is to maintain a consistent hive
temperature of 81 degrees F., which
brings about a minimum of activity
and consumption of stores by the bees.

yania Department of Agriculture, ,Iar-

art" entered the port of Annapolis with
a cargo of tea. The people of the city
regarded the shipment as an insult and
a defiance of their will. They gathered
in the street to denounce the local i'm
porters and to organize for the de-
struction of the tea.
The local importer appealed to
Charles Carrollton, for protection.
His answer was that the only way
by which they could escape personal
violence would be to burn both ship
and cargo instantly, and in plain sight
of the infurated populace. This was
done, and the burning ship and cargo
in Annapolis harbor was quite as spec
tacular as the emptying of cargo of
tea into Boston Harbor.

OF CATTLE
DISEASE RECEIVES
ATTENTION IN MIDWEST

The remarkable success obtained
by the Pennsylvania Department OF
Agriculture in it's warfare on sterility
and abortion in cattle, is attracting at
tention throughout the United States
The Bureau of Animal Industry, of the
Pennsylvania Department, employs the
Albrechtsen treatment, which was per
fected in France, some years since.
According to figures prepared by DR.
T. E. Munce, head of the Bureau, there
were 103 herds of cattle examined for
sterility and abortion in 1919 and in
these herds were 965 animals that re-
quired treatment. During the year
there were 1897 treatments admins
tered.
The State Department of Agricul-
ture is making strong fight to arouse
the farmers of the State to the neces-
sity of providing treatment for these
diseases which are causing enormous
losses each year.
One of the leading drovers' journals
in the midwest, after conducting in
vestigations, has been so impressed
with the results obtained in Pennsyl-
vania that a comprehensive article,
dealing with the work in this State, is
being sought.

CLUSTER FLIES ANNOYING TO
HOUSEWIVES AT THIS SEASON

The cluster fly, a big, lazy fly many
times the size of the ordinary house
fly, is causing housewives no little
concern at the present time, according
to letters reaching the Bureau of Plant
Industry, Pennsylvania Department OF
Agriculture. The life history of the
cluster fly is unknown but it is prob
able that they breed in decaying vege-
table matter, outdoors and fly indoors
only upon the approach of winter.
The flies at this season are found in
the corners of dark unused rooms. in
closets under clothing or beneath cur
tains at windows. In the spring time
these flies will be found swarm1ng on
windows.
One method of getting them out OF
the house is to have the curtains up,
admitting as much light as possible
to the room having the windows open
a short distance from the top. The
flies will promptly migrate to more
congenial surroundings. busting fresh
pyrethrum powder about will either
kill or stupefy the flies so they car
be swept up and burned.
The flies at this season of the veal
are sluggish and may be killed with
little difficulty, with the conventions
