New Queen Bees
Resist Disease

Two OF five newly developed
misunderstanding queen bees re-
leased to breeders in Washington
were received in Tacoma last week
by Richard Yost, secretary of the
Migratory Beekeepers club, and
George n. Paige. president Of the
Pierce County Beekeepers asso-
citation.
The bee, developed by the U. S.
department OF agriculture's bureau
of entomology after four years of
research, is expected to end foul
breed" attacks which causes rs
per cent fatality among young
bees at an estimated cost of $780,
900. according to r. E. White,
state supervisor of apiaries.
Great hopes are held for the
future of bee breeding by the two
recipients, and each hopes next
year to furnish members of their
respective clubs, together with 9TH
ers interested, queen bee which
will successfully withstand the at
lacks of 'foulbreed" and other
diseases.

Young Lawyer Willkie Called
Conner land Came THROUGH
BY TOM WOLF

YOUNG lawyer Willkie didn't
L know a soul in Akron when
he arrived. There was a conven-
ton In town, and the hotels were
full. Willkie spent his first night
on a cot In a hotel lobby.
When seasoned counsel Willkie
left for New York 10 years later.
he was listed three different ways
in the Akron phone book, so his
many business and social friends
could find him - Wendell Lewis
Wilkie "a common misspelling):
Lewis Wendell Willkie this cor
rect name), and the accepted Wen
dell Lewis Willkie (which he used
after a recruiting officer acciden-
tally inverted his name when he
joined the army.
In Akron, Willkie earned a repu-
tation as the Bill Borah OF
Akron" and as great poker
player. He still loves cards. and
frequently plays rummy on his
trips. Mrs. Willkle Is the only
person who consistently beats him.
Wilkes Akron successes were
doubly impressive because he was
leader In the fight against the
Ku Klux Khan. As a delegate to
the 1924 Democratic national con-
vention he worked against Nc
Adoo, because OF the senator's
Khan backing. So vehement WAS
Episcopalian Willkie that, think
ing he must be Catholic, a Catho-
lie group once offered him the
marshal's job In their parade.
KHAN OPPOSITION
DANGEROUS STAND
SO strong was the Khan in Ohio
in the early '20s that TO be openly
against 1t was dangerous-socially,
physically. and in business. So
cially, il never mattered to Willkie.
He has never been a country club"
man, likes few active sports other
than fishing. Physically, he could
take care of himself capably, as
his six-feet-one. 210 pounds still
show. In business, there was no
one who overlooked a lawyer who
could. as Willkie did. triple his
firms business
After brief career with Fire
stone. Willkie joined the law firm
OF Mather h Nesbitt Here he
first became connected with the
utilities.
In his work defending various
large companies he soon found. as
he later wrote, that among the
mass Of people a feeling exists
against large corporations. He
reasoned then. as now, that this
was no argument for government
ownership or control. Betrayal OF
trust has stained the records Of
some business men," he wrote.
but the same thing is true Of
some public officials"
BY 1926, Wilkes record had
gained the notice OF the late B. c.
Cobb. then head OF one of the
companies to which Mather &
Nesbitt was counsel. Willkie still
treasures the copy Of Cobb's letter
to the firms senior partners. which
says: Il think he (Willkie) is a
conner and we should keep
our eye on him"

CHANGED HABITS

The kingfisher bird comes from
family Of insect catchers. Long
ago. the bird discovered that fish
were easier to catch and far more
filling than insects, so it re-
nounced the family habit, and be-
came a fisherman.

like New York, with its cold slick
ness. He never had any particular
laundering for Wall Street and all
its name implied. And even today
he delights in observing that his
office, on the 21st floor of the
Chase National bank skyscraper on
Lower Manhattans Pine street, is
"a block off Wall Street" He
accents the word off"
When Cobb resigned because of
illness in 1888, he hand-picked
Wendell l.. Willkie to succeed him.
The young (then Al lawyer, who
20 years before had slept on a
cot in hotel lobby before his first
law job. was now president of the
nations 21st largest corporation.
The job he did here brought him
nationwide fame.
NEXT: Corporation President.

FARMERS AIDE

The yellow-billed cuckoo is of

the hairy variety, which few other
birds will eat. One cuckoo stom-

caterpillars.
