APPLIES TO
ANY TOWN

The Tacoma Labor Advocate offers
what it considers good advice to its
readers, and in a temperate and COM
mon sense manner gives forth its
ideas on this subject as follows:
no matter what one may think OF
the get together meetings, the La
Dor Advocate would repeat that the
only real way that can be accom-
lished is INJECTING together.
And this means the abandonment
of all personal differences and a will
ingness on the part of all whom those
differences have kept apart to let by
cones be bygones and to forget the
past.
ITO make unity a real thing there
must be give and take. The minority
must get a square deal while the ma
jority must legislate for all. Only in
this way will the work of harmony
materialize into reality. Let's go!"

BUT THAT
WAS DIFFERENT

Col. -- of the Ell Poso, Texas,
Morning Times, enjoyed 365 days of
bright Ell Paso sunshine from the
window at his desk. Only thing that
marred the joy of the sunshine was
the fact that it danced from the yell
low and red sides of fifteen to twenty
sprinkling carts which parked in the
vacant lot besides the Times office.
The carts were Respondent with the
grandiloquent claims of one Hebrew
clothing merchant, done in all the
colors of the sign painters are.
One day the young Israelite who
occupied the exclusive spread on the
s%prinkling cart, breezed into the Office
of the colonel, his face wreathed in
smiles.

AN INDUSTRY
FOR NEVADA


The enormous height to which the
price of sugar has scared is having
a stimulating effect upon the bee in
dustry. 1t is a reminder that there
is a world of the finest saccharine
that cannot be gathered by the hand
of man or any machines, yet which
by the employment of the busy do
mesticated insect it is to be had not
only for the taking, but its quantity
may be multiplied by unlimited Guilt
walton.
The bee industry is the least de-
veloped perhaps of all American or
world industries. The pretty flowers
that embellish the face of nature OF
the whole earth must be SO greatly
in excess of the insects which derive
their food and a food for man from
them, hat the disparity may be de
scribed as all but complete. If there
were a dearth of honey-producing
blossoms there should be a call for
further extension of cultivation, but
the fact is that there are whole vast
regions, more extensive than many
nations or states, with not a colony
of bees therein.
Not many Nevadans appear to
know that this state produces the
finest of all homes. Yet it has won
the highest awards at various world
expositions and it's clear whitaness
and superb flavor cannot do other
wise than convince you that the
awards were just, for, verify, while
seeing is believing, tasting in a form
of eloquence that beats all others to
the heart of man.
Nevada honey is said to core mostly
from the blossom of the white sage.
There may be no way of extending
tie acreage Of white sage, but there
should be a clear way for making
use of the millions of acres of it where
now there is not as much as one
lonely bee. AS a stock feed, white
sage is not eaten until the frost has
nipped it, herce there can be no con
flict of interests between the bee PEG
pie on one hand and the cattle, horse
and sheep ones OF the other. The for
mer, in fact, should play into the
hands of the latter.
In an orchard country bees are a
benefit and the o%rchardists offer
special inducements to apiarists to
place bee colonies on their ground.
They p%ollinate the apple and all other
blossoms, thereby doubling the yield
of fruit.
Honey is pre-digested and is the
substitute for sugar for persons af-
fected with kidney complaints of any
sort. With such it is more than
harmless; it is beneficial. 1t is used
by them as a most delightful sugar
substitute in tea and coffee.
The present price of honey-twenty-
five cents or ~thereabouts a pound in
quantity-makes it a most attractive
field for profit. With conditions ia
vorable, a single colony will produce
100 pounds above its own food dur
ing a season, which probably is a
maximum. Desert conditions might
not be such as to insure the maxi
mum in weight, but what it lacks it
will more than make up in quality

Plan of National Conven-

At Atlanta Is Report

ATLANTA, May 6.-The Atlanta
correspondent of the Macon Tele-
graph furnishes his paper the follow
ing news story on the coming state
convention, May 18:
"The general understanding here
today is that the presidential prefer
ence convention to be held in Atlanta
May Is will be handled under the
system and rules of the Democratic
national convention. That is, the
doors of the convention hall will not
be thrown open to a promiscuouS

1t was originally intended to hold
the convention in the state capitol
until calculations made it. obvious
that each county having twice the
number of delegate; it has mem
bers in the lower house, the hall of
the house of representative will not
hold the convention.
while no arrangement has yet
been made for use of the Atlanta
auditorium, it is practically a settled
fact in the minds of those concerned
with the convention that the meet
ing will be at that place, probably in
Taft Hall, which has a sufficient
seating capacity for the accredited

in store tomorrow for his patrons
who like pictures out of the ordinary.
1t is nothing less than photoplay
which depicts romantic episode IN
the life of the famous ex-bandit, Al
Jennings, and his brother, Frank,
who are the leading actors in the
photoplay, which is entitled 1.-The
Lady of the Dug-Out" 1t is really
wrong to call them factors" for
they are not acting so much as re-hv-
ing before the camera their own
actions of former days
Al Jennings is undoubtedly one of
the most interesting characters the
west ever produced. A lawyer IN
Oklahoma before his carchr of out
lawry, he first ran counter ~ estab-
ished order when he avenged the
murder of his brother by killing the
murderer, whom a crooked law trial
had freed. A fugitive from the law,
he became a bandit. Bat he never
was bad at heart, and this story,
which was real occurrence in his
outlaw days, surely proves it. 1t is
the tale of a brave little western
woman who was aided by the out
laws. While the posse were search
ing the country for Al and Frank,
the two men were bringing food to
the starving woman and her little
son. A battle between the posse and
the outlaws, concealed in the dug
out is an exciting part of the pic
ture.

at became clear some days ago
that plans were in making in one of
the political camps to bring here
and pack the convention hall with
indiscriminate followers of one Of
the candidates, with view to
stampeding the convention not by
any sentiment of the accredited dele
gates, but with an overwhelming
crowd of outsiders. In fact the
clear invitation has been printed
asking around $4,000 followers to
come to Atlanta as will come, with a
view to attending the convention and
running things.
"That, however, is not going to
happen, for what appears to be re-
liable information is that the con-
vention will be laid out in strict ac-
cord with the method of handling
the national meeting; that is, ad-
mission to the convention hall will
be by card only; that each delegate
will be accorded so much admission
cards, each alternate will be provid-
tu WIFI an elQInISolOH SdIuJ SclClI
newspaper representative accredited
to the convention will be provided

the number of cards to be allotted
is going to be, but it has been sug-
gested that three admission cards be
allotted TO each delegate accredited
to the convention, one of those to be
used for his own admission, the other
two to be disposed of by him to the
public as he sees fit In that way
it is claimed, the allotment will be
equitable among the following of
the three candidates, and will pre-
vent the success Of any effort by
anybody to pack the convention with
outsiders"
