FEED THE BEES

Though the colonies seemingly
may have sufficient stores to last
them till the willows are in bloom,
January and February were 50
cool that they may have consum-
ed what honey there was in the
hives and unless they are fed
they will starve.
Brood rearing has commenced
and they must have feed for the
babies. The willows usually com
mence blooming from the 9TH TO
the 10th of February. They arc
not yet in bloom, being a month
behind the average time for the
past seven years. | have lost
three colonies in the home yard
because / thought they had
enough stores to last till the
willows bloom. One was the
strongest colonies of Italians /
had. There is at least a peck of
dead bees in the hive. Had |
fed them two weeks ago a quart
or two of sugar syrup, half sugar
and half water, they would have
been saved and probably would
have returned me for the little
labor 100 pounds surplus honey
besides new swarm. So feed
the bees now and save them.-S.

SUDDEN PASSING OF

NeIs Petersen Dies in Seattle
at Home Of His Sister
in-Law Monday

Nels Petersen, proprietor OF
the Pioneer Meat Market at Va

sister-in-law, Mrs. c. Petersen,
in Seattle, last Monday after
noon. He had spent the greater
part of the winter there, hav-
ing met with a painful accident
here several months ago. The
body was brought over on the

Quoted by Rev. A. N. Sanford,
and the remains laid to rest be-
side those of his brother who
died several years ago.
Deceased was born in Denmark
about rs years ago and at the
age of fourteen years he com
menced sailing the seas. He
had put in at nearly every port
on the globe, and held papers
as Captain for all waters Of
the globe. In 1890 he came to
Vashon island and for years was
a butcher with headquarters at
Burton. He had spent ten years
in life saving station work at
Eureka, California prior to com
ing here. He was a member OF
the Masons, and was baptised
in the Lutheran church. He
never married.
He leaves a brother and sister
living in Denmark and broth
err, Hans, who resides at Elkhorn,
Iowa. He had spent several
months visiting this brother last
spring and summer. He left
some property in Denmark, and
several pieces in Washington,
and we understand he had made
will, naming his Nephew,
Ewald Petersen, as executor.
Brother Petersen was good
man. He was proud of his
native country, but learned to
love America with almost child
ish devotion. He was honest,
loyal to his friends and to his
convictions, was a man who at
tended strictly to his own bust
ness, was a great reader, and it
was a delight to hear him tell
quietly of his sea-faring exper-
fences, at the close of a busy
day. He was our friend, and We
are truly sorry that another OF
our friends has passed into tie

THE NEW SILVER DOLLAR


Have you seen the new silver
dollar?
1t is a real curiosity. Look at
the face of Columbia. On the
old silver dollar she looks bike
woman of great power, mentally
and physically, and with a benign
face, full of love, help and sym.
pathy. You can hear her say;
"You poor old man, can't you
find your hat tins morning?
will find it for you" In her
hair which is done up in COED
and acceptable style, is the magic
ribbon with the great word
Liberty" Surrounded with a
wreath of the fixed stars and E,
Pluribus Unum, she looks good
to me. With her l could easily
risk the journey through this
vale of tears. Yes, and | could
say of her all that Solomon the
young lover said of the beautiful
queen of Sheba, as far as | can
see her.
Now look at the face of Colum-
bia on the new dollar. Her mouth
is half open. She has a goitre
coming on, too. There is no
strength, no amiability, only a
vacant idiotic stare. 1t is an
humiliating insult to our fair
Columbia on the old dollar.
Now turn them over on the
other side. If the eagle on the
new dollar is not a fair repre-
sentation of Cornish Indian
game rooster, little off because
of hook feathers, then l am no
judge of birds. There he stands
on stump, facing either the
rising or the setting sun. The
stars have heen eliminated in the
new dollar but across the rays
of the sun it is made plain in
bold letters that it is a dollar.
They have placed the "In God
We Trust, :" in poor English back
of the poor face of Columbia.
Fortunately, they have also re
tanned the "The United States of
America" and sc. Pluribus
Unum. The whole face of this
side of the new dollar lacks,
like the other side, true American
pep"
Now look at the old dollar.
Here you have the real eagle,
and while he has an olive twig
in his claws he has also feather
ed pointed arrows and watches
over the eternal waves of our
mighty shores. 1t is a strong
picture.
The bankers object to it, too,
because it does not stack up prop
crly. A hundred of them stacked
up look like Pisos leaning tower
and teater. But Ollie FanOlinda
says he could remedy that, for
he has lathe and would sweat
them so they would have to stand
up.
| suspect that some of the
artistic ideas on the new dollar
come from Old Rutgers College
for | have seen just such fool
things among the freshman there.
Why don't the mint people send
a good observer out to this glor-
ious west coast to see a real
eagle and hear him scream and
get a picture of a real sensible
good loking womanY
Stephen j. Harmeling.
P. ST. we must have a kind
of a peace dollar, why not spread
over one side the smiling face OF
William Jennings Bryant
You know, when one in "a com
pany gapes it is catching and
presently all cape. How one could
smile when looking at Bryan's
face and awakening all the mem
cries from 16 to / and up. And.
as the dollars accumulated in the
hands of the sons Of toll by
patient labor during the heat OF
the day what a smiling screaming
there would be in the lands.

5000 More Mennonites
Are Coming To Canada

Winnipeg. Man.. Nov. 14.-Con-
lrmat:on OF the report hat several
thousand Mennonites are shortly COM
ing to Canada. 10 given by the Can
adam immigration department. The
intending settlers. some 5000 in num-
Der. are from the Odessa district in
Russia and areAnot Of the Orthodox"
type. Persecution by the BolsheviIi
authorities induced them to pack their
effects. sell their non-portable prop
erty. and to make for the Black sea
districts. From this destination they
were diverted by the Near East crisis
and swung towards the NBaltic. from
n Of which ports they are said to
have sailed for Canada. The intend
ing settlers are farmers and arc said
to have sufficient finances for their
purpose.
The Canadian ban against Mennon-
ties. which was put on in 1920, Was
lifted June last. The first settlement
of Mennonites in the seventies was
made under conditions by which spec
ial privileges were promised in con-
nectlon with their religious beliefs.
The new arrivals will not secure n
such rights. but must come under the
same conditions as any other people.
Objection to military service vas n
of their tenets. Exemption from
this was promised the first settlers.
During the war this fact brought
about considerable bitterness toward
these settlers. AS a consequence
thousands Of them emigrated to
Mexico over that clause and the
school regulations requiring the
teaching of English.
