returned from Aroostook County
where they have been in attendance
at two field meetings of beekeepers,
which were held at Prsque Isle on

lowing. At these meetings it had
been expected that f. r, Root of A. /.
Root Co., Ohio, would be the princi-
pal speaker; but he being unable to

thews of Hampden were called upon
to fill the vacancy.
Mr.. Matthews delivered in a very
creditable manner much valuable in
formation taking as his principal
topic Foul Brood" There are many
large beekeepers in that county who
were very enthusiastic over the valu-
able information gained from the
speakers.
Mr.. Davis explained very satisfac-
torily DR.. c. c. Miller's method OF
raising queens. also the topics of
swarm control. transferring and win
tering were discussed. AT the sec
ond meeting at the home of D. IL.
Griffin at Caribou, aside from the be-
fore mentioned subjects, Mr.. Davis
spoke as how TO find old black
queens and to requiem successfully,
also handling package bees.
He reports a most pleasurable trip
which covered more than 500 miles
and a particular notable feature he
relates to the Reporter Is that the
entire distance was made in a Ford
machine which has served him faith
fully for some time and during the
recent journey he encountered not a
single difficulty to necessitate the
services of the garage man.

BY MRS. EDWARD WHITE

The uniform marriage and divorce
bill introduced in the United States
Senate yesterday by Senator Arthur
Capper is the elimination of a nation
wide demand for avoidance of the in
creasing scandals Of varying and
vicious marriage and divorce laws of
the several States and the wholesale
evasion of the good laws.
Forty-nine jurisdictions, each with
absolute sovereignty, have enacted
forty-nine sets of laws governing the
contract of marriage. The contract of
marriage includes not only the status
Of the principals to the contract, and
their relation to the laws of the differ
ent States, but it includes also the
legitimacy of their children, and the
inheritance of their property. Unques-
tionably. these three relations should
be the same in every State, because
of @he constant shifting of population.
Under the Federal Constitution as
it now stands, Congress has the power
to enact uniform legislation with ref
erence to Interstate Commerce, bank
ruptcy and naturalization.
