The program includes trips through the steel mills, a visit to t Chicago, some new talking reels and a Jot of other real events. r Sixty years ago, at a Fourth of July celebration tile corner stone j of the court house was set in place. > People came from all over the ’ county, traveling in wagons and I buggies mid enjoyed the great ocJ casion. Rev. Luckey would like to see it repeated in a "THEN and NOW" program. It sounds good and will be if sufficient interest is manifested and some organization i will get back of it with enough pep to put it over. Fifty young men and women who liave completed the course in the Decatur high school, last evening received their diplomas, and todhy start upon their life careers. Some of them will continue their education by taking courses in college while others will immediately enter into the strenuous paths of earning a livlihood and making themselves useful. Dr. Homer P. Rainey, president of Franklin college, gave the address at the commencement exercises. his subject, "Two Demands I pon One Supply,” was of especial interest to the class and his words carefully chosen and well expressed, gave them many thoughts they will carry through life. Our congratulations are extended to the class.and to the faculty and officials for the completion of another successful year. Last night’s program was one of the best ever given here and the crowd which packed the auditorium enjoyed it immensely. The canning factory will not be installed here as announced a fewdays ago, investigations not being satisfactory to the local committee in charge and for the further reason that the incorporators of the company have decided not to engage in the business this year because of general economic condi(iofis. ’ Os course it is best not to secure any industry unless they are well equipped in every way to carry on and the action by the Chamber of Commerce in thus protecting the farmers and others, should be appreciated. It is said there is at present an over supply of canned goods of about every kind and consequently it was impossible to interest any of the larger concerns in this territory. Investigation has proven that there is an excellent territory here and we'are sure that by next year a high class cannery can be secured for this city, thus I taking care of those in this section | who desire a market for tomatoes, | corn, beans and pickles. 1 = Once upon a time people regarded the highways as a sort of no man’s land. They pushed their fences out and stole part of the land that belonged to the roads. That was nobody’s business; the roads belonged to nobody. Theypastured their cows on the grass that grew at the roadside. Who cared? The roads belonged to everybody; that is, to nobody. Anyone could pick up the apples from roadside trees. Nobody could order one off the road. There survives in places something of the old contempt for the roads. Here and there some unthinking person carts out a load of rubbish and throws it beside the road. Usually this occurs along a byway or unimproved road, and this fact reveals that the people have not arrived at the proper appreciation of the highest value of the roads to their community. Those byroads and country lapes soon are to become one of the country's finest assets. Mure and more the tourists will leave the big, straight cement highways and find enjoyment in the country side. Country people are learning not to scorn the tourists, and, apart from the considerations of making their own homesites and environs pleasant, is the jujeentive to prepare their district to!

A Bee! My kingdom for a Bee," by,D. D. Hootman, secretary Michigan State Horticultural Society in the November, 1929. number of the American Bee Journal. In presenting a cover design for this number showing 30 well developed apples on a small portion of a branch, the editor says: "In fact the fruit grower is more dependent on the beekeeper than the beekeeper on the fruit grower." Quotations from tills article follow: "In many of the fruit sections the growers have been convinced of the folly of wind pollination and tlie need of bees for their orchards as a result of the failure of crops to set on trees that were screened to exclude bees. The demand for bees in 1929 for pollination had a tendency to raise the rental price in most sections; in a few places, five dollars per colony.” One reported a crop of six hundred bush-! els of Hubbardston apples from a small orchard, in which he had dis tributed colonies of bees, that formerly had never produced over one hundred bushels." Another wrote: “We are now very busy engaged in harvesting cur crop of Bartlett pears. Due to busy bees, we have bending branches with a yield of almost five hundred bushels in our small orchard.” Mr. D. E. Lewis, formerly professor of Horticulture at the Kansas College of Agriculture watched a single bee for a period of twenty

, minutes and found that It visited seventy-five flowers in trees of two different varieties. This is exactly what the arrangement of the orca rd was designed to accomplish, fqr, unless the bees pass from one variety to another, cross pollination fails. At the sixtieth animal convention of the American Honey Producers league, held at Milwaukee in February, 1930, a very interesting talk was given by Mr. Russell H. Kelty, Michigan Agricultural College, accompanied by a screen demonstration showing the bending branches of trees and greater perfection of fruit produced in the orchards where bees were used for pollination. It was clearly shown that orchards, so treated, produced from four to six times as much fruit of various kinds. The need of bees In producing certain farm and garden products, such as cucumbers, is too well known to need any discussion. An order of one hundred hives, with full equipment, such as supers, sections, beecomb foundation, etc., was recently shipped from this city to be used for the pollination of an orchard consisting of 5,000 trees in southern Ohio. The larg est order sold by the G. B. Lewis Company, manufacturers of beekeeper's supplies, to other than a dealer, in 1930, was made to a big orchardist. A booklet entitled, "Feeding the Child for Health", is issued by the California Fruit Growers Exchange at Los Angelis. It is well prepared and contains much valuable information to mothers, t achers and child health workers, an 1 covering ! food requirements for gi JWth, development, and tlie influence of diet on teeth and bone. Honey is mentioned generously all through. It is listed as an energy food together with fruits,''jellies and jams. The Kellogg Company, and other large manufacturers of health foods, who have no honey for sale, distribute millions of circulars and honey recipe booklets every year, at their own expense and send their demonstrators out to extole the health giving values of honey. As for the claim that bees destroy fruit, Mr. C. P. Dadant, who

Is recognized as the greatest living i authority on beekeeping and who is also a large fruit grower and vinyardlst has frequently stated that the honey bee cannot pierce the skin of sound fruit and that it is only the decayed or over ripe fruit or that which has been previously injured by other insects or birds, on which tlie bees work. As for tlie plea that bees sting children, the Italian Bees are very gentle and are not apt to sting unless attacked or roughly handled or tipsy from the effects of decayed fruit. Many of the cover designs and other illustrations of the American Bee Journal have been taken from photographs showing little tots from two or three years of age and upward, handling full frames of bees or hiving swarms. Sometimes these children are represented in the nude while so employed, with some nueli caption as "Just where do you want me stung?” Jean Stratton Porter’s little granddaughter took a leading part in the screen version of "The Keeper of tlie Bees.” If we, who have bees would give our little friends a treat of honey or honey candy now and then, we might soon have them as greatly interested in the "Bee Fairies” as the children whose photographs
