JNO CHANCE FOR AN ARGUMENT. 



When you and the "man next door" have those 

 'Sunday morning discussions, you differ on many 

 ^points. 



Makes of tires, brands of oil, body design, rela- 

 tive merits of fours, sixes and eights — all of these 

 you can find arguments for and against. 



But when you consider storage batteries you 

 agree that the Willard satisfies all your require- 

 ments for starting and lighting. And nobody 

 questions the value of Willard Service Stations — 

 they have proved indispensable to owners every- 

 where. 



If you haven't learned the advantages of an 

 acquaintance with Willard, now's the time to 

 begin. 



Willard performance and service are two big 

 -elements in the successful operation of 85% of 

 American makes of electrically equipped motor 

 cars. 



We are agents and service station of Willard 

 Storage Battery Co.

Bees and Bullets. 



A novel home for bees, and a queerer 

 method of making that home, is reported 

 in "Gleanings in Bee Cuhure," by Mr. L. 

 J. Holzvvorth of Phoenix, Arizona, v.ho 

 discovered the bees in a cactus. With his 

 axe, he removed the fleshy part of the 

 plant and foimd a nice dry, snug beehi\e 

 :about two feet long and one foot in diam- 

 <eter. As to the method of making the 

 cavity he tells this singular story : 



"I then wondered how they could have 

 got in there and what had originally made 

 the hole. Some birds may pierce the 

 thorns and thick flesh that covers the skel- 

 eton work within, but they always choose 

 to do it at the more tender top, and there- 

 fore there must be some other cause. My 

 investigation, however, soon dispelled all 

 doubts, as .imbedded in the wall just op- 

 posite the entrance, was a bullet with its 

 nose in the right direction. This told the 

 story. Some one had, perhaps carelessly, 

 shot into the cactus years before, and, 

 contrary to the general rule of wanton- 

 ness, had actually made a home for a nice 

 swarm of bees."

The constant association with nature 

 leads to a more natural life and a better 

 appreciation of the beauties and won- 

 ders of nature itself, and consequently 

 must of necessity elevate and raise the 

 man. The continued contemplation of 

 works which are in themselves perfect 

 leads to the cidtivation of a higher 

 tone of mental and moral development 

 and the desire to reach to the same per- 

 fection which characterizes all the 

 works of the Creator. — Professor 

 Thomas Eggleston. 



The Moss Rose. 



Beneath its fairy thatch of moss. 

 The pink of the rose appears ; 



No wonder it favor finds to-day, 

 This darling of other years !
