interest, class-interest, almost anything but

Georgia, a Land of Honey.
~ HE advent Of the Georgia Bee Keep
ers Association draws attention to

T HE advent Of the Georgia Bee Keep
ers' Association draws attention to
one of the States uniquely interest
ing and potentially important enterprises.
At the initial meeting, recently held in
Atlanta, were about one hundred apiarlsts
all enthusiastic and duly appreciative of the
value in working together for their COM
mon advantage. Informal discussion brought
out the fact that between one and a half
and two million dollars worth of honey is
produced and marketed in Georgia an
nually, and that the sale of bees them
selves yields goodly sum.
With so substantial a beginning, the
industry is certain to grow apace and
reach large proportions. Nowhere this side
of the Elysian fields could it find fairer
and richer resources. Early springs, long
summers and lingering autumns, brimmed
full of blossoms up to winters frostiest
breath, conspire to make this Common
wealth a very Paradise for the buzzing
honey brewers. Nor could one think of an
apter time for turning this latent treasure
to account than when sugar holds present
prices and sweets of all kinds are in ever
growing demand. In America the per cap
ita consumption Of sugar has multiplied to
such an extent as to absorb almost the en-
tire worlds increase in production, and in
far distant countries, where a few decades
ago candies and cakes were luxuries for
the very rich, the mass Of the people are
clamoring for them. The practical bearing
of all this upon the golden hives of Geor-
gia is too obvious for comment.
The States bee industries, rightly fos-
tered and promoted, will take rank along
with those of the orchardist, which were
in their infancy not many years ago, and
will mark another rich achievement in
diversifying our sources of prosperity. The
Journal wishes the Bee Keepers Associa-
ton the best of good fortune in its timely
undertaking

the superf1uous woman
problem.
In England the women now OUT
number the men eight to one. On the
continent the preponderance of fe-
males over males is probably just as
great, and even in our own country
the war disastrously upset the equi-
librium of the sexes.
There are, therefore, vast number
of women whom Fate has debarred
from following the usual occupation
Of their sex-wifehood, and mother
and thus find work for their hands
in making a home and an outlet for
their emotions and aspirations and
energies in rearing a family.
Neither can they look to any man
to support them, for when the oak
with it and mus. perish, or else find
somehow the strength to stand
alone. Its days of parasite are over
in world in which there is nothing
left for 1t to fasten upon.
So the question of what these
women are to do to keep from being
a danger to themselves and society
is a very real one. For they are
young. They have lived their lives.
and are not ready to meekly accept
the drab existence of the old maid
who retires to the Spinsters' Re-
body else's family, and fills in her
days with sweetly romantic musings
on what might have been, AND
dreams Of the golden-haired children
she never had.
No. These young women are fun
with health and energy. They want
the best that life can give them, and
If life has taken away from them the
chance of husband and home and
child 1t must offer some substitute,
some spiritual and mentally and phys
pent volumes of feminine unrest and
energy will become as much of q
menace to the country as damned
mill race in flood time.
And the problem is how to find
this outlet.
and only in work. That is the one
panacea for grief, for disappoint-
ment and blighted hopes, for the
longing that eats the heart out In
unavailing regrets. That is the one
thing that makes the individual life
worth living. Men have long known,
and applied the work cure to their
own soul sickness. Now let them
apply it to women. In mercy to her.
Open every door of opportunity to
her. Urge her to go into business.
Give her worthwhile occupation.
Give her work that Will use up her
strength, Give her interesting work
that will absorb her every thought.
Give her the work that pays.
Let her use UP her creative In
stinct in calling new policies of sales
manship, new ways of doing things,
new inventions into being. Let her
mother, nurse and coddle her feeple
business enterprises into healthy
growth. Let her put into office man
agement the feminine order and sys-
tenn and omniscience as to where
everything is, that she would have
put in keeping her house in apple-pfe
order.
In word, let these millions of
women espouse careers instead of
husbands, and have business sue
cesses instead of babies. Perhaps
the one may seem poor substitute
