By the Bee Crank. 



The bee is never 

 caught napping 

 when spring opens. 

 It go^s to sleep in 

 the fall, dreaming 

 of busy days among 

 the first flowers. 



When the bee is 

 so mindful of the 



Get B jsy " maxim, 

 what a comment on 

 man who forgets the 

 "Never Put Off" doctrine un- 

 til he stares "to-morrow" in 

 the face. 



This timely hint from Nature 

 ought to stick and bear fruit. 

 It ought to send you, Mr. Bee- 

 keeper, out among your hives, 

 taki' g notes of what you will 

 need this season. These needs 

 should be placed on paper and 

 sent at once to Pouder, the 

 f riendof the ' 'rush-order' ' man. 



Quick delivery is 

 one of my hobbies— 

 my favorite one. I 

 am located inthecen- 

 ter of populat'on of 

 the United States— 

 at the hub of the 

 wheel, with a rail- 

 road following every 

 spoke. That, and my 

 policy of always car- 

 rying a full line of 

 bee-keepers' supplies ready for 

 immediate shipment, explains 

 my everlasting stickmg to my 

 quick-delivery hobby.
