SAYS BEES HAVE LANGUAGE

Bees have a language and a system

thing Of the bees mysterious form Of
communication. In one of them he took
the queen bee out Of a hive. which
was four or five feet high. AS soon
as the working bees discovered their
leader was missing they began crying.
The crying was audible four or five
feet from the hive. Within SO sec

crying subsidized at the top of the hive

BY COURT APPOINTA lent.
Suggestions That County Attorneys
and Clerks BE So Named,

A bill providing for the appoint
ment of county attorneys and clerks
of courts of Maine will be presented
: to the Maine legislature this winter
According to the statement of
those interested in the proposed
change, the bill will provide that
these officials shall be appointed by
the judges of supreme court. al
Though friends of the measure say
they are willing that the appointment
should be made by the governor upon
recommendation By the court.
While change of this nature
would be revolutionary in Maine. it is
not a new suggestion at least in so
far as clerks of court are concerned
For It number of years it has been
Frequently suggested that clerk of
court should be an appointive Office
rather han elective. the idea back OF
this being that more competent
officials in the clerks office thus
codld be secured. 1t has always
been argued in support OF this that
Judges were far better qualified to
determine the qualifications of a man
for clerk of court than eithersa
convention or voters taking part
either in primary or direct cleo
ton. Upon the efficiency of a clerk
of court rests in a very marked de-
gree the smoothness with which a
term of any court proceeds. A good
clerk makes for smoothness and is a
great help both of the judge and the
attorneys in the trial of cases. 1t is
equally true that an inefficient clerk
greatly though unintentionally of
course, hampers the workers..
According to the statement of
those interested in the bill it will pro-
vide for an equal compensation, so
far as salary is concerned The first
draft of the bill will provide, it is
said that each of the sixteen clerks
of courts receive the annual salary Of
$4,000
On it's face this would appear to be
an injustice to clerks of courts in
counties like Cumberland. Kennebec
and Penobscot where the work is
much greater than in such counties
as Lincoln and Waldo But the
measure will provide means of
equalizing this. There will be
provision that in addition to this
salary each clerk of courts will re-
ceive all the fees incident to the
office. This would make the clerks
in the big counties receive pra ctically
the same salary they now get.
This plan, of course, if carried

The committee is very much
pleased with the result of the fourth
Red Cross roll-call. Some of the
communities have responded even
more generously than last year. A
few villages failed to respond liber-
ally. largely because the committee
did not find the opportunity to re
place faithful workers who were not
available this year.

county is just beginning to be ap-
preciated Another year, with it's
present program, it will be found to
have carried on. it's humanitarian
work so creditably as to command a
still wider support
