Head it, if vou have bees on yoi place and profit thereby: "If tho bees have been well cared lor during th., winter they are be ginning Io get uneasy and waul to go Io work as soon as the just w arm days I arrive. Al this time lhe hive should I be opened nod an examination made jin order to ascertain whether there is |still a good supply of ftjod on hand. | They will now' require more food than | they did while practically dormant, i ■ls the food is scarce feed tlmri. Till-,' will not only stimuate the workers to. action but will also induce tho quern ( to begin laying earlier than she might ' otherwise ■ “Another reason for inspection is to see if any disease is presort. This not only is important to you but to every bee-keeper in tho coni ty Do-1 ‘ Iroy all the diseased frames and then j (•.lan up everythin:’, that ectild in any iwap spread infection. There are about three hundred and fifty boo keepers, in lhe county and it is to the interest of j each one of you that all diseases i promptly dealt with.” I ll’ LITTLE-GIRL, BIG-BOY, AND * I * THE GARDEN EL? * I * » I * Written for the U.

I’m glad I live in you. :- I ■ And I am sure everyone should bo .'gad to live in'such a beautiful world. Little-Girl was glad that she lived in [ft. and s« was Dig Hoy. Little-Girl lived in a low white house that nestled blown tn the very center of a lovely j,garden. Her window overlooked the garden. It was a garden of gay blosjsoms; of sweet grasses and (limbing I vines; of bursting seed pods and budding leaves. A robin hopped upon the grass. The bumble bee sang her a rung: x ( i "Humble, bumble,sang the bee, iCome to the clover fields with me; j There yon shall sec where my work doth lie; |No busier worker than 1, than I.” ; I "Why, Rumble Bee, 1 didn’t know that you were a worker,” said Littler Girl. “I thought the honey bee that

t- ii. gfc.i iiwimi gives us golden honey was lhe otilj busy "Humble, bumble, tho' I’m humble And mu sung of like my sister, I tan useful,” sang the bumble, "I’d give you food. Oh, Maid and 1 I Mister,” | ‘I should say she does," chirped a liny voice that seemed Io come from a ( lump of violets. | 1 What was that? I.HtloGirl was sure 1 she had hoard a voice, but perhaps it was lhe rustling Id' lhe leaves. She knew that all old gardens have voices; 1 that they sang and laughed in the simshino, and wept on rainy days and c rackled when .Jack Frost came ' around. And al night she heard tho little fiddling notes of katlvdids and* the crickets. And in the morning bird (•all opened her eyes. “He-ho, he-ho, he-ho!” Was that a bird with its morning call? 1 “He-ho, he ho, he-ho!” i Jxiok coming over the garden wall! I ’ And if it wasn’t Big-Hoy climbing over tin* wall whore the rose vines* grow. He tumbled right down into* tho pansy bed and tho pansies opened their purple eyes vry wide indeed, they .were so surprised. I Did you hear a voice? asked LittloGirl. "Someone spoke to me about the Bumble Bee,” but just then—t A tiny little fellow dressed In smock I of green Hopping along on the grass was seen. Was he a pixie, an elf, or a fay? For he beckoned and piped, “Shall I lead the way?” ‘There he is! There ho is!" cried Tattle-Girl, her curls dancing up anil down in her ex-cite-ment. "Oh, look at him, Big-Boy!” I ‘Why, how do you do?”’ asked the Little Elf Man, hopping up and down ■on one foot, "Bow do you. and how do you do, and how do you do again?” I "What a funny little man," said .Little-Girl, and just then the queer little green man began to sing this song: “Oh, I am a little Elf Man hold. And I live by myself ’neath the garden mold; I But 1 grew’ lonely so I camo out • To show Little-Girl and Boy about; So fol-de-rol-de-rol-de-re, Follow me, follow me!” I I And the astonishing little man turned a somersault into the air, and i landed on a leaf where ho bounced lup and down as if he had been on a seesaw. “And now you ate ready for your trip to tho fairyland of Nature, so follow mo, follow me!” j Just then something sounded through tho air.

"It certainly was never any idea of the proposed league of women voters.” she says, “that we should remain out of the parties and appeal to them for tho things that we wanted to do. The only way to get things in this country is to find them inside the political party. More and moie the political parties become the power through which things arc accomplished. One cannot get congressional action or legislative action unless political parties are willing, sc powerful are they. “It is not a question of whether they ought to be powerful or ought not to be powerful: they are. It is the trend of the present political development and instead of appealing to them for the things you want it is better to get on the inside and help yourself to the things you want. "Let no one of us lose sight of the fact that power to build a higher welfare for all lies within the parties and not without. Whether our nation attains that welfare depends upon the conduct of the voters who compose the parties. Independent, intelligen*. lofty principled voters make great parties and great parties make great nalinns.”
