THEN CONTRACT FOR A HIVE
OF HONEY-BEE HARVEST
HANDS
It's Being Done ON the Best Rcgu-
lated Farms Now
BY ROBERT FULLER

III ROlSElSI FVlIILkNt
(Written especially for Standardl
A plan has been worked out by
the bee-keepers of America to make
extensive shipments of honey-bees
from one state to another for the
purpose of harvesting the crop of
nectar from coast to coast and from
Canada to the Gulf which otherwise
would be lost.
Under existing conditions bees
only manage to harvest the nectar
within a radius of one or two miles
from their hives
There may be scant forage in one
section where bees are kept at Ger
tains seasons of the year while in
another region the forage is ideal
but the bees are scarce.
Last year leading western bee
keepers found it highly profitably
to ship bees i'm one and three-pound
packages, without combs, as far as
500 to 1000 miles without loss
They made contracts to deliver
so many bees to farms in California
or Michigan, placing the bees in
light cages, with wooden bottom,
top and ends but with screen sides.
The packages are 6xsx16 inches.
There is screen inside to which
the bees cluster in transit
FEED BEES BEFORE START
First. a can of sugar sirup is
placed in each package, after which
it is taken to the apiary and filled

A Hunting Trip
That Proved to
be Nothing Else

Two of Sisseton's young men de-
cided the other day to go hunting,
so they took out the faithful jitney
and started. About two miles from
town, a slight accident caused them
to return to town. Nothing daunt-
ed, they started again. Up in the
edge Of the hills they left the ma
chine and started on foot, one of
them leaving his overcoat at the car,
not caring to wear it while walking.

Miss LeoIa Lucey's Recital

One of the most unique ana thor
oughly pleasing recitals ever given
in this city was presented last eve
ming at the Highland Avenue NJ. E.
church by Miss Leola Lucey, Adrien
J. 3. Freiche and Raymond Barry.
Viewed from every possible angle the
recital was an artistic success and
Herbert +. Twombly is to be con-
graduated for having secured three
such capable and charming artists
for an appearance here. Probably
number of people who attended the
recital were at first puzzled and then
disappointed when they discovered a
photograph cabinet occupying the
center of the stage. If there were
arly such their fears were dispellcd
with the opening number. 1t had
been rumored that Miss Lucey would
sing in unison with her re-created
voice and that the audience would not
be able to tell the difference between
the recreation and the living voice.
Needless to say, there were some who
were skcptical Attempt to match,
that glorious voice, those beautiful
tones of the violin and that artistic
touch on the piano with a photograph?
Impossible. The skeptics We're soon
convinced, for the impossible had hap
pened Only when Miss Luceys lips
ceased TO move did they know that
she had ceased tos sing, and yet her
voice was coming as clear and as
sweet as before. Again it seemed as
though there were two singers with
but a single voice. The tones ema-
mating from the Edison were identical
with those produced by the living art
lists. The instruments produced not
an echo or a copy. but the rcai thing,
Miss Luceys voice and the other ar
lists productions, untainted by any
mechanical transformation, unspoiled
by any metallic ring.
The applause which greeted the diff
ferent artists and their work, includ
ing the miracle" numbers, was proof
convincing of the delight that the art
lists and the Edison had given. The
program was as follows:
