Page Six HOW TO SUCCEED WITH BEES j S The lowly buzzing bees otter great opportunities to North Carolinians. As it Hits from bush to bush sometimes mistaking the bald spot of a fat man's head for a new blossom, it e only gathers a? d utilizes nectar, which > would otherwise go to waste, but it a also fertilizes flower- and renders e them fruitful. i No other "farm animal is capable s of g.ving" so large a return for money and time expended. a All this is from expressions of C. f L. Sam.-, spe -iulist in bee-keeping of the Agricultural Kxtension Service t who would have more "beemastersf? e in the state. a "A colony of bees consists of queen drones and workers, "he said." They e are ail important, but the workers p?"ducc the crop and the crop de- o peruis on the number of workers at d the beginning the honey flow. To t secure an e.\ce-> population of work- n ers in time for the honey flow it b is necessary to begin operations at c the conclusion of the honey flow of a the previous season. e "At this time the colony should have a young queen and there should a i>e no aeuiifiicy in -Murvs ur ruutu ^ fcr brood rearing. When these eon- u ditions are present, the colony usual- b ly continues to raise sufficient young d bees e\en in the absence of a fall f honey flow. ri 'During the late summer and early t fall, it is well to look after the con- k ditions of the colonies and see that ?? they have favorable enviroment for:** brood rearing, which is very essential j at this season. To a great extent, the} i fate of the colony during the winter b and its prosper.ty ihi i allowing spring ' < will depend on conditions during Septemoer and October. j c "I hiring this period, young bees loasl be reared to irvive the brood-la ! d of winter, or the colony can not exist in the following spring, j u Mcclbtjji - die ? i: oar on ac brood '.i t tc time uf the tirst ;1 kliiink i o-t, whuH-j^ the beginning of water f-ir as the b?*?? arv ti .' r. d.

Mr. Daniels, in following Mrs. coop-: er, spoke especially of Mr. Osborne'si f success in saving so many sailors to j ^ the navy after the.slabs had gon?_ to ^ prison for offenses punishable by* various sentences. j The speech ot ?r. Osborne in its ^ very nature had to be autobiograph- 1 ical. It was a passionate protest j against torture. "Going to prison is , punishment," he said; but the dark * cell, the monotony of the life, the 1 use of opporobious epithets the lord- ^ ing oi autnomy over men wno suu- mit all tortue, he declared. He knew ' about it because he had been a vol- < untary prisoner. The most striking experiment * which the prisoners were the citizens and the chosen officials represented the citizenship. This he declared to J be much more satisfactory than any 1 honor system because prisooners in ' their assembled wisdom could do bet- \ ter for themselves than any warden < could decorating them with honors. The welfare league is not unlike the George junior republic to which he referred. He likened this experiment in self government to the athletic principal which recognized theability of trying baseball or football without actually playing the game. In citizenship, he said, men play the game of citizenship by being citizens. Numberless individual instances of icnce Has Discovered That a Long ( Train of Diseases May Result From a Diseased Tooth (By Royal S. Copt?land. Md.) t There is hope of recovery from ev- i ry disease to which fle-h -i heir, c lo one need despair and fa1! into c state of helpless hopelessness. Modrn medicine has made inroads into j; he realm of diseases formerly con- r idered incurable. j ci Many old-time mysteries, however, re not explained by the theory of c ocal infection. t It is believed that when >ome cen- t ral point?or focus, as it is more a ommoniy called there is pus forni-j:; ion, or perm growth, that froin this | i nous radiate lines of attack against very part of the body. I i Perhaps the most common example t f focal infection is the trouble in i t istant organ duo to an abscessed! \ ooth The trouble with the tooth i lay be so slight as not to be noticed J t v me patient. inning as sucn a i ondition seems, it is believed that c focus of this sort may seriously and ven fatally affect the victim. ! t Sometimes theories of this kind j re "overlooked." The history of med- [ ? :ine is marred by the transient pop- ? iaritv of various fads. It may well t e that the present enthusiasm over J ental infection, or other focal incction, as a cause for human ail- f rents, will be laughed at in the fu- l ure. But, in the light of present t nowledgc, it seems abundantly prov- t d that any focus of disease may j ffeet your entire body. j <_ Some of the diseases traced to 1 ocal infection are heart disease, high t lood pressure, hardening of the urL'rit's, neura liria. neuritis, headache,: v heumati>?n. certain eye diseases, u!- J ' or of the stomach, diseases of the j s a i I'iiidd'T. appeinlicilis. diabetes. < i.?i even diseases of the brain. This is a long list, but it must be I ruierstood that focal infection's one t f main causes for these diseases {\ : :i -anu t in;e Weal inf? ? j there being the sligHest re- r ition between the two conditions. t > 'in": me a apparently heal thy i c ji77' v. it M o\?-ry orgaili vn seemingly |H ' i..;.i < oTiii:;;i :i? will comp a: a of ! <j and- - na.i. tkrougSiiij muscles. | i.

The pinch of the Franco-Belgian occupation is being severely felt by he German inhabitants of the Ruhr listrict. Some of the workmen have 11 ready appealed to the French for assistance to keep the plants operating and themselves in food. At the same time the economic nission in the Ruhr is facing alnost insurmountable difficulties in he production of coal and its transportation to France and Belgium. The exportation of coal and coke o unocupied Gcrmtyiy is forbidden ind an embargo on other commolities. such as Steele, iron and other manufactured articles is threatenrd. The railroad tie-up is as complete is ever, but the French are getting ulquate supplies for the army. Only hree trains daily reach the Rhineami from Paiis.

REASURY ESTIMATES ! i Federal tax collection for 1922,;, espite depressed conditions which t har&cterized business during part of , he year, have exceeded treasury es-1 ? 1 mates. Cringing the total for the 5 2 months to ?2,2-17, 000 according o figures compiled Thursday. While , he amount is far under the col-!, ectiou for 1921, the great drop m eeeipts is chargeable largely to the hanges in the revenue law. Of the total payments, $1,107,-1 >46,000 was turned into the treasury n tliu laat six months c? the calendar rear, forecasting a total of approximately $2,500-000,000 lor the cur*ent year ending June 30. Collections l.sualiy art larger in the first six > nonths of the calendar year, since? :h-2 heaviest income and profits tax j payments fail in March and June md many taxpayers pay all they owe 1 the government in the initial and second quarterly payments. Income and profits payments for! the last six months of 1922 amounted ;o $665,339,375, or only slightly more, than half of the amount derived from i that source in the* corresponding per-1 iod of 1921. But again, changes ini the law caused most of the decline,! indicating, according to revenue bureau officials, that some of the tax burden has been lifted. December collections, in which are included the (M^uiciiks iur me lust quarter 01 incomes and profits, amounted to $270,000,000 of the six months total and these, like the totals for the six months of 1921 and 1922, are only slightly over half of the amount collected in December, 1921. While the December payment of estate taxes, given at $17,286,000, was greater by four million dollars than for December, 1921, the total of $6o,7S16,000 for the six months ending December 31, last, was approximately the same as for the same time in the preceeding year. Whether the American theatre-going publia is attending fewer shows DEMOCRAT LET THE FIGURES SETTLE IT The row between the Governor r.nd Mr. Maxwell over the financial condition of the state is both unseemly and unfortunate and ought never to have occured. Both gent el men are men of the highest integrity and honesty of purpose. Both are honestly endeavoring to serve Xorth Carolina. Figuring from one angle, the Governor arrived at one set of figures. Figuring from another angle, Mr. Maxwell arrived at another set of figures. Of course, both cannot be right | but both think they are right. Mr. Maxwell is eternally right in his contention that the state's actual operating expenses should be kept within the state's income. He is right also in his contention that the tax system set up under the Revaluation Act was founded on principles of justice and ought never to have been abandoned. The Governor is right in his contention that the state- has a right to anticipate uncollected taxes for the fiscal year and to base its new budget thereon. The Governor is also to be admired and highly commended for his zeal in support of great progressive measures, even if they do cost money. The State cannot go forward without spending something. Progress is not cheap, but the right sort of progress is always worth every cent it costs. The State is not throwing away money o** donating anything to charity when it appropriates funds for education and necessary railroad en-1 terpri&es. It is making a magnificent: investment that will yield handsome dividends. Nothing Mr. Maxwell has written should deter the legislature j from giving adequate support toi these great enterprises. As to the financial status of the' State Treasury, nothing .Mr. Maxwell I can write and nothing the Governor can .ay will change a single figure or: the hooks. The figures speak for them < cs.

Country preachers have contributed in a larger degree tha nany other iass to the faith, thrift, industry, nitative, integrity and vision of their espective communities. Now it is said hat during the last ten years not nly hundreds. but thousands of cnun.ry churches throughout the United States have closed their doors. The claim is that two thirds ol the .vorld's population live under rural i Miiditions. At least forty per cent >f the population of the United States is in the country. There are in the territory covered by the Southern Baptist Convention not fewer than 10,000,000 farmers and persons doing farm work, 5,000,000 of whom are negroes, 500,000 mare of them are ?oreigners. How then are we to save the country and the country churches without strenuous work to save the foreigners and. the negroes? The evangelization and religious work training of the negro is among the greatest needs of the south today, and the perils growing out of neglect are constantly multiplying and becoming more aggravated. Why not give the Home Mission Board money with which to carry on an efficient program for the safe ty and efficiency of the country churches? This is a denominational necessity, patrotic imperativeness, an exacting duty to Christ. We ail can not live in the Towns and Cities, be careful less we choose our part like Lot did.
