The Example OF
The Sturdy Pine


One day boyaand his father who
were hunting in the mountains took
shelter from the wind in the lee OF
some great. gray boulders that lay
like sleeping giants close to the
crest of a lonely ridge. AS the two
looked upward they saw the wild
autumn. Wind lay grim hands on a
mountain pine that lowered FROM
the summit OF the ridge. II was, d,
sentinel that could escape no dan
ger: it was an outpost to receive
the first shock Of the enemy's at
tack, saYagely the wind tore at
it, shook it violently, howled thru
its shadowy branches, TO the boy
the tree, stalwart though it was,
seemed about to be blown to pieces
Look, father" he said, pointing
upward, what the wind is doing to
that pine"
The full fury Of the blast just
then made the pine shudder and
sway wildly and heaye despairingiy
against the stormy sky.
storms are an old story to that
tree" said the father "a tree like
that from the time when it is high
enough to catch the first breath Of
wind lives in a struggle Tenny-
son describes an oak as storm
strengthened on a windy site; and
the strongest trees are always those
that have weathered the greatest
number of gales, Besides, the
question is not, what is happening
to the tree, but what is happening
lin the tree?"
"The pine doesn't really seem to
mind fighting the storm" the boy
admitted
SITS the same with us, the man
said st really doesn't matter
what happens in us. You see, "a
mans character is tested by every
thing that happens to him; he be-
Icomes either weaker or stronger.
The test is not nearly SO important
as the result of the test If you
think clearly, nothing can really
happen 10 you, but everything can
happen in you. That old pine is
safe because it resisted the first
storm years and years ago; and il
has kept on resisting. 1t is getting
stronger all the time. Because 81
what has happened in it nothing
harmful can happen to il" Youths

Wisconsin Is
One Of Best
Honey States

Have you ever thought about the
wonders of the little busy boqies,
the honeybees, and how they make
honey from the nectar of the flow
ers?
Did you know that: /,
One bee would have to make a
million trips to secure a single
pound of honey?
From 10000 to $4,000 bees make
a single family or colony headed by
a single queen?
Worker bees and queens come
from fertile eggs, the difference IS
three days old?
Drones come from unfertile eggs?
Queens do not ordinarily sting
except in killing rival queens?
Drones never sting?
A queen may lay 5000 eggs ev-
cry "a hours during the busy sea
son or twice her own weight in
eggs daily?
Drones never work? They gath
or no nectar and in the fall are
killed or driven out of the hives by
the workers?
Annual production of honey and
beeswax in America valued at $685.
100000, and that there are about
100000 beekeepers in the United
States?
Wisconsin ranks among the five
leading honey producing states.
Over G,0O0,00O pounds Of honey val
ues at $1,5O0,000 was produced by
Badger beekeepers during 1922. IN
addition to this the value OF the
beeswax sold annually runs aionnd
$4,000 and Wisconsin for years has
been one of the leading states in
the manufacture of bee supplies.

 Only Temporary

CHICAGO, Aug. S.-Current in- creases in farm product prices are only a temporary relief and the fundamental causes of the agricultural depression have not been removed, it was asseBted by the National Council of Agriculture in a message sent today to President Coolidge.
 The council petitioned the President to have appointed by the Secretary of Agriculture "an extraordinary cOmmis- sion" to study the basic needs of agri- culture and recommend definite reme- dial legislation to Congress with view to its enactment during the short session.
 The council was formed at St. Paul recently by representatives of approxi- mately 30 farm organizat tions, in order that a concerted effort might be made to obtain legislation embodying the principle of the defeated McNary- Haugen bill.
