MOTOR JAuNT is
ONE or DELIGHT
Have Car Overhaulcd,
Brakes Properly Adjusted
and Tires Inspected.

Vacations remind me of our two
summer. and | remember how we
planned what to take and what to
leave at home. It's problem. Some
tourists take dogs, canaries, even VIC
trolas. But on camping trip, you
want to forget some marks of civui-
cation, says Aunt Aggie Of the Kan
sas State Agricultural State college.
Perhaps the experiences we had in
selecting things to take will help sonle
would-be campers.
Things to Get.
First, get waterproof tent-try the
hose on it before you leave home to be
sure it won't leak. wall tent, or
one that goes over the car, is salts
factory. Steel stakes are better than
wooden.
We took steel spring auto bed, but
although it was comfortable, it was
too heavy to handle. A bed with
woven rope bottom and wooden SUP
ports rather than steel is better for
an auto bed. Take folding coo
apiece for the rest of the family.
You'll need plenty of warm comfort
ables-newspapers, help out because
they are good insuiators.
We took rs few clothes as possible
and packed them in some old suit
cases-new bags would have been
ruined on that trip. We wore hiking
clothes.
A short-handled spade helped us OUT
of mud holes, and an ak was always
useful If you plan to fish, take your
fishing tackle.
Cooking Utensils.
For meals, we had a small alumni
mum pan apiece. unbreakable cups,
forks and spoons apiece, two or three
case knives, good butcher knife, Il
sirup pail for making coffee or heat
ing water, gallon pail for carrying
water, salt and pepper shakers, ski
let, and large spoon for stirring
We took along home-cured ham and
saved number of meat bills.
One Of the children kept notebook
of expenses, and Immediately after we
bought anything-gas, oil, food-she
recorded the amount 1t cost us just
$3.50 for six of us to take the trip, and
OF course we have all our camp goods
left to take another jaunt.
Our expense keeper also kept
diary of the trip in her notebook and,
with our snapshots, we live over again
our experiences.
Before leaving, have the car thor
oushly overhauled, brakes adjusted,
and a good set of tires put on, with
spare. A halfgallon can of oil is
enough for emergencies. If you want
to, take a trailer to pack things into
but one car is much easier to manage
than two, even if the enc is crowded

Time to Introduce New
Queen to Bee Colony

1t is an easy matter to decide what
colonies need new queens, because
new queen bee properly introduced
is nearly always better than the one
she replaces, states Ray Hutson, bee
specialist at the New Jersey agri
cultural experiment station. This OF
course does not apply to Italian queens
of this years brood.
Good queens from reliable breeders
and will in every case give large
return on the investment, in pride
of ownership. monetary return, and
ease of handling. In commercial bee
yard this last item is the same as
the second. for labor still remains the
largest cost in Bookkeeping Freedom
from bee moth depredations and prop
olization, or gluing, is among the
many benefits to be derived from
new queen.
The best time to get a new queen
accepted by a colony is at the time
little honey is coming in. In many
localities there is dearth the latter
part OF July ana the first part OF
August If q queen is to be properly
established six weeks before killing
frost, the first of August is none too
soon to make start. 1t is folly,
however, for the average beekeeper
to undertake requeening when there
is no honey flow, Wit 's,ut feeding
day or so before, as well IS during the
attempt.
There are numbers of methods for
introducing queens and the selection
of the one to be tried must rest with
the beekeeper. Queen breeders almost
invariably send directions for intro
/ ductiOn on the shipping cage.

Magistrate Jacoby dismissed
the charge because Johnson was

SECRETS OF

by DR.. C. A. L. Reed

VoU have heard much about
4 the evils OF tobacco. or

But il tobacco Is wholly bad, why
do the majority Of people use It
in some form? The whole race
cannot be bent on suicide.
Sir Robert Armstrong Jones
Practitionerl has said that we are
used to hearing from scientific
men Of the evil effects 81 tobacco
on this, that and the other bodily
system. IT ID only fair to con
slider few medical arguments
ON the other side.
We must first remember that
the appeal Of smoking is largely

locate the craving In the stomach.
others IN the mouth and chest;
some attribute che pleasure to

most important role of tobacco Is
that, in moderation, It Is 4 friend

the world like drugs. but buffer
from its harsher blows, like
sympathetic companion.
No ordinarily healthy man can
pass through life with no emo

he does no work. The more
work he does. the more human
contacts he makes. the greater
the demand on his mental and

Its psycholo gical potency Il due
ito Its power to affect ali the
senses at once. The wisps and
curls Of smoke rising before the
smokers eyes are beautiful, and
perhaps suggest aspiration. The
appeal to the sight Is 4 very
sfeat part of It's total effect. This
Is proved by the fact that few
blind persons smoke and that no
real smoker ever lights up his
best cigar Id the dark unless he
has no second best.
Good tobacco also has d fra
