hives with insulating material.
The prime object of packing Is the
conservation of bee energy, bringing the

III the law of nature as was possessed
by them when they entered their winter
rest.
1t is assumed all beekeepers under
stond quite well bees do not hibernate
or become dormant or frozen up like
some other of natures creatures.
Instead they maintain q comfortable
temperature and remain active during
the coolest weather, unless the cold Is
them.
To do this they must generate heat
and the amount of heat generated de-
ponds upon the amount of cold entering
their hives and vicinity OF the cluster ;
also conditions of hive packing, en-
trance, etc, which may afford an escape
for the warm air in the hive as well as
an entrance of the cold.
The generation of the heat within the
hive is brought about entirely by the
activities of the bees.
Hives should face the east or south.
For protection from winds good
hedge or shrubs will provide an Ideal
condition.
Fodder also may be shocked and fas-
tened to the fence on the west and
north sides. Avoid a solid windbreak,
and If the hives are placed before a
solid board fence it is better to remove
every other paling.
Packing Of the hives with insulating
material is put on after the first heavy
frost and four inches OF packing ne
meath the hives, six inches on the sides
and eight inches on the top, has been
found to work admirably.
A good insulating material Is ground
cork chaff, shayings or sawdust.

BEES NEED AID
DURING WINTER
State Apiary Inspector Gives
Hints on Care.

- Despite a considerable slump in the
price of sugar-the only competitor OF
honey-beekeepers Of Indiana should
look forward to the marketing Of honey
in the future as a necessary food and
not as a luxury, in the opinion of c. o.
Yost, State apiary inspector for the De-
partment OF Conservation.
As result of the unprecedented price
of sugar during the last year, thousands
of sugar users turned to honey as a
substitute and have since become perma-
nent users Of honey in preference to
sugar, Mr.. Yost says.
For this reason he believes the honey
market of the future Is assured and bee
keepers have every prospect of disposing
OF the product of their apiaries at advan-
tageous prices.
In q letter to several thousand bee
keepers In Indiana, the State apiary in
spector calls attention to work neces-
sary for the proper winterfng of the col
onies, In order that the bees will emerge
next spring vigorous and healthy.
Meny features enter into successful
wintering, chief OF which are: To have
large number Of young bees In the hive

sufficient stores, protect the bees by good

HARDSHIP TO RAILROADS.
difference in Transportation Rates
Affect Kansas Wheat,

The difference between the trans
portation rates for Kansas wheat to
CUR OF Mexico ports and to Atlantic
ports, is working a hardship on the
railroads east of Chicago, and on the
mlIlers and the producers of grains
ana grain products in Kansas, alike.
Because wheat can be shipped from
Wichita to Galveston, for EXPORT TO
Europe, for % cents less than it can
be shipped to Baltimore the Kansas
millers and grain producers have been
sending their grain via the southern
ports.
AS a result the railroads east of Chi
cago have been losing business which
would otherwise have come their way.
and the millers of Kansas and the pro-
oucers OF grain products have been
eliminated from the eastern domestic
market for their goods
A conference of three committees
representing the shippers. the eastern
railroads, the western railroads and
the southern railroads, was held at
Chicago, terminating Thursday, at
WHICH e. H. Hogueland, counsel for
the Topeka Traffic association, repre-
scented the shippers, to consider the
situation and a possible remedy, if one
is to be found.
The committees decided to ask the
interstate commerce commission to
take up the proposition and adjust the
fares in manner equitable to all
parties.
The commission will be asked to
hold hearing on the question as soon
after January l as possible.

Interstate Commerce Commission
Makes Recommendations.

The interstate commerce commission
is recommending that the United
States pay the railroads the money
which is due them under the guaran-
tee arrangement into which the roads
and the government entered after the
close of government administration.
Legislation which will clarity the
existing law and permit payment with
out delay of the money due the rail-
roads under the guaranty provisions of
the transportation act but withheld
under a ruling rendered on October z
by the comptroller of the treasury,
was recommended by the interstate
commerce commission in its annual re-
port just made public.

port said, ito some of these carriers of
the amounts or parts of the amounts
which we can now determine to be
certainly due them under the guaran-
ty provisions of the transportation act,

ing expenses. fixed charges, and other
obligations which they must meet in
order properly to serve the public as
common carriers, and it is desirable
that in case of deferred overcharge
and loss and damage claims and other
items which affect operating income
and the final effect of which can not
be definitely determined at this time,
we be authorized to make a reason

items and. when agreed to by the car

Koontz believes, is the necessity of

industrial problems which are being
presented at the present time, and the
next two weeks are going to produce
information which will be of great
benefit in reaching the conclusions
with regard to these problems.
E. L. Copeland, secretary and treas
urer of the road, agreed with the traf-
fic manager, that with the closing of
business and the striking of balances

RECORD IN COAL PRODUCTION.
During Week Ending Dec. ii Total

Preliminary estimates based on re-

was estimated at 12.s50,000 tons,
which is $4,000 tons more than were
produced during the preceding week

1t is estimated that, during the

bituminous coal, which would be an
increase of $3.50 over the preceding
week when the railroads carried more
coal than in any other week this year.
It was also approximately 10000 cars
above the number loaded during the

RETURNS TO EDITORIAL WORK.
j. I'll. Simmons to Retire From Freight
Auditors office of Santa Fe.

If he completes a cycle of occupa-
lions which has covered more than
thirty years of the history of Kansas,
and which has in several ways con-
tributed to that history, J. H. Simmons,
who founded the Norton Courier in
Norton county in the early days of the
state, may soon find himself again en-
gagged in editorial work.
Simmons is to retire on January at
the age of "A years from the office of
the general freight auditor of the
Santa Fe. He has been employed with
the Santa Fe since 1891. Prior to
entering the service of the railroad, he
had been a homesteader in Norton
county in 1871, and had hunted over
the plains with Buffalo Jones in 1873
and 1874. He founded the Norton
County Advance and later bought the
Norton County People, eventually
merging them into the Norton Courier.
When fire at Norton DESTROYED his
plant he came to Topeka and entered
the Santa Fe service. Previously he
Fad served two terms as superintend-
ent of the schools of Norton county.
and himself taught the first school in
the county.
Mr.. Simmons married Miss Ella
Burns Curry in Norton county in the
late seventies. Harry Wright, the SON
ln-IaW of the pioneer Kansan, recently
acquired an interest in the Shawnee
Chlef, and it is possible that after his
retirement Simmons will assist in the
editorial work on the paper.

START PAY-UP CAMPAIGN
One of Most Urgent Movements Is To
Get People to Pay Debts.

One of the most urgent movements
in the present business situation is to
get people to pay even part of what
they owe. Bankers are calling such
loans as they can, and insisting on
partial payments where it is impossi-
BILE to secure full payment of indebted
ness to them. Credit has frightened
up, and is not being extended as free
ly as it%has been in the past.
"Pay me that thou owest," is the
golden text of business at the present
time, from the small country store
keeper to the financier who deals in
millions.
And the Santa F'e railway has album
dant grounds for joining in this chorus
most vociferously. The Santa Fe has
an honest debt to collect, which If col
Iectable at the present time, would
help them along quite a lot
Under the guarantee to the rail-
roads which was made at the termi-
nation of government operation, the
United States government owes the
Santa Fe, in round numbers, the nice
little nest egg of S25,000,000. The
government has owed the money since
September 1, and may keep on owing
it till March, according to E. L. Cope
land, secretary and treasurer Of the
road.
And that twenty-five million would
come in just as handy to the Santa Fe

trusting Bill for these many months.
The Santa Fe, like other railroads,
industries businesses and individuals.
needs money right now to help pay the
help and to buy new equipment, and
for many other purposes.
Copeland does not expect the final
settlement of the debt to be made
until all the, figures affecting the sum
have been checked up.
The treasury department, in spite of
a recommendation from the interstate
commerce commission, has declined to
pay any part of the money until the
check has been completed, when the
total is to be paid. The check will
probably be completed some time in
March, Copeland believes.
Meanwhile, I could certainly use
some of that money to very good ad-
vantage wAen I'm buying engines and
cars at three times the prices they were
before the war;" says Copeland.

CARS ARE COMING BACK
Railroads Have Big Problem in Locat-
ing Cars During Past Year.


It's a wise railroad that knows
where its own cars are. Particularly
after two years of government man
agement, when cars were sent to what
ever section of the country needed
them most, without regard to their
ownership.
Since the roads took over their own
management again, one of the biggest
problems facing their operating execu-
tives was getting their own cars back
again. 1t is much easier for a road
to handle traffic with its own cars.
than with borrowed rolling stock. Re-
pairs can be made best in the shops
where the cars were built, and there
are other factors which make it de-
sirable for each line to keep its own
cars so far as is possible.
The cars are slowly getting back
where they belong, according to a re-
cent report of the Car Service division
of the American Railway association.
In the process two of the roads
which operate thru Topeka, are losing
cars faster than they are adding them,
because they emerged from the gov
eminent management period with
more cars than they had when they
entered.
The Santa Fe owned, on December
1, 1920, a total of 67,15S cars of all
y
that day 1923 per cent of that num-
Der of cars. On December l, 1919,
the Santa Fe was in possession of
1888 per cent of the total number OF
cars which it owned.
The Rock Island, on December l of
this year, owned 49,042 cars. and had
only 97.1- per cent of that number on
its tracks, which indicated that some
one has been holding out on the Rock
Island On December l, 1919, the
Rock Island had on its lines, 1871 per
cent of the total number of cars
which it owned.
The Union Pacific, which owned
1895 cars on December l of this
year, had 1894 per cent of that num-
Der on its line. The Union Pacific is
the only one of the roads thru Topeka
which has increased its number of cars
in the past year. The Union Pacific
had only 91.9 per cent of the number
| of cars it owned on its lines a year
ago December l.
1t is pointed out that the number OF
cars which they have on their lines is
not interesting the roads at the pres
ent time, as deeply as getting their
own cars back, for the various reasons
