A GIFT WITH A THOUGHT IN IT 



There's one very simple way out of 

 the Christmas shopping problem : don't 

 shop, but sit quietly at home and sub- 

 scribe for The Youth's Companion. 

 The chances are, too, that no present 

 you could buy for the young friend or 

 the family you delight to honor could 

 confer so much pleasure as this gift of 

 The Youth's Companion for a whole 

 round year — ■ fifty-two weeks' issues, 

 and the fifty-second as keenly antici- 

 pated and enjoyed as the first. 



There will be stories for readers of 

 every age ; sound advice as to athletics ; 

 suggestions for the girl at college or 

 making her own way in the world; 

 good things for every member of the 

 family— all for $2.00— less than four 

 cents a week. 



The one to whom you give the sub- 

 scription will receive free all the re- 

 maining issues of 1912, as well as The 

 Companion Window Transparency and 

 Calendar for 1913, in rich, translucent 

 colors. It is to be hung in the window 

 or over the lampshade. You, too, as 

 giver of the present will receive a copy 

 of it.

Missouri- Bred Queens ! 



My strain of bees is the result of many 

 years' breeding and selection. I believe 

 they are equal to any, r.nd surpassed by 

 none. They are long lived, winter well, 

 breed early, and are unexcelled honey get- 

 ters. The workers are long-bodied, good- 

 sized bees, uniformly marked with bands of 

 orange yellow. They are good comb-build- 

 ers, gentle and easy to handle, and yet pro- 

 tect their homes from robbers. You will 

 make no mistake in introducing these queens 

 into yourapiary. I guarantee safe delivery 

 at your post-office, and make a speciality of 

 long and difficult shipments. I endeavor to 

 keep a large supply of queens on hand.
