 SEWARD BUSINESS MEN

Business had short shift at yester- days regular meeting of the Chamber of Commerce for with the presence of the Methodist dignitaries who were ! the honor guests of the Chamber the meeting shortly resolved itself into a social session. A fair representation of Seward business men were in at- tendance, and with few exceptions, all remained until the session was ad- journed two hours and 15 minutes later.

 ! Bishop Shepard then spoke, express ing his keen appreciation of the hos pitality and cooperation that has greeted his party everywhere through out the Territory. He said that he had first come to the Territory IS years, ago and during all the lapsing years, and today, he is still thinking ! Alaska. He has come to Alaska this time to consider the situation from a religious standpoint. He finds, how ever, that it is impossible to separate religion from State matters, for both shade into each other
 "The religious factor is of extreme importance, and our interest in Alaska is very great Therefore,' he said, "the church is we'll worth while, for the larger interests in the communi- ties in the Territory can not be reach ed without the church"
 The bishop then called the mem bers attention to new sign which now adorns the local church. 'In large letters," he remarked, "the words The Seward Community Church. now appear, then in much in much smaller letter and in parenthe- sis, The Methodist-Episcopal Church.

HONEY BEE |s WORTH MILLIONS ID GERMANY

BERLIN, July 23. (P)-The little bee is a greater economic producer than are all the high-sea fishermen
 Germany put together, according to the Frankfurter Zeitung.
 Another striking tribute to the bee is the assertion by Professor Erocn Zarder of Erlalgen University that "bce culture is tho most essential branch of agriculture"
 There are some 65 billion bees in Germany, according to the Frankfurt CT Zeitung. Together they produce about 3O0,OO0 !hundreweight of honey annually, representing value of $7,0OO,OO0. This, says the Frank furt paper, is an economic item of 10 small importance in an impover- ished country like Germany, ard ex- ceeds the proceeds from Germany's high sea fisheries.
 Professor Zander bases his high estimate of bees upon the fact that billions of blossoms are fertilized by them. This is worth at least $70,O0O,- 900 annually to Germany Fruit trees, vegetables, the grasses and flowers of the meadows-all owe their ferti- lization to the busy bee, which car- ries the pollen from one blossom to the other.

test associates fOresaw that the long line of descendants of that first
 Model T Ford would revolutionize
 automobile manufacture, aid per.
 haps more than anything else in
 the development of paved roads.
 and place the automobile within
 the reach of almost every family in America.
 But on that late spring day in 1927, when the fifteen-millionth

 line, the whole world knew it was
 day of days in the history of the
 automobile and of American indus | try and life in general.
 On the day before, the Ford

 ment meant that the fifteen.

 ming of another long line which
 may play an even greater part in
 providing improved transportation for the masses.
 The completion of the fifteen
 millionth car was the occasion for a celebration in the Ford organiza, tion. Eight of the men who helped to build the first Model T motor and who are now executives of high rank in the organization,

the early 'nineties, when he chug- ged forth upon the streets of Detroit with his first "horseless buggy"
 There was the day in 1908 when he introduced the first of the Model T Fords.
 Then there was that day-just a few days ago-when, with his son Edsel at the wheel, he rode the fifteen-millionth Ford automobile of the assembly line at the great Highland Park plant
 The true significance of the first of these three days was apparent to no one at the time. To be sure. the noisy jerky little horseless carriage was the first automobile Detroit had seen and, for that mat ter, one of the first three the world had seen. But to observers it was just curious sort of freak vehicle "a toy. Even Henry Ford himself had not vet dreamed of the tre mendous development of automo piles that was to follow in its wake
 Likewise, the world was unaware of the importance of that day in 1908 which saw the advent of the Model T Ford car. Automobile manufacturers were multiplying by that time: the automobile already had passed the plaything stage and was showing promise of becoming ! factor in transportation.

 When the entire car had been as. sembled, Henry Ford and his son Edsei, who is president of the Ford Motor Company, drove it from the Highland Park plant to the ad- ministration building of the com pany at Dearborn. There it was met by MT. Ford's first automobile, the old "horseless carriage" and by the first of the long line of model T Fords.
 While news and motion-picture cameras clicked, Henry Ford drove his little gas buggy of the early nineties around the area way where the three most-famous motor cars in history had met. Also he talked in his characteristic manner to newspapermen and others who had gathered.
 Mostly he talked of that little old first car.
 "I was proud of that car," he said, "but almost everybody else in Detroit either laughed at it or ran from it. remember one day a family party jumped out of . buggy and ran as I approached with my car. The horse wasn't afraid, though. While the family were scampering up the road, he moved oil to the side of the road and began to graze." !.
