A Business 

 Proposition. 



Your money in the savings bank is drawing 3 

 per rent, or at most 4 per cent interest. Here is 

 an opportunity to invest it at 12 per' cent — 8 per 

 cent more than it is now earning. 



In most localities this has been a good season 

 for honey and for making increase. Prospects were 

 never better than for the coming season, and you 

 are almost certain to be needing supplies in the 

 spring. If you wait until the first of April or later, 

 you must pay full catalog prices. If your order and 

 remittance are sent in during November, a discount 

 of 5 per cent will be allowed. Five per cent on mon- 

 ey invested for five months is equivalent to 12 per 

 cent per annum, figured for five months time. It 

 looks good, doesn't it? Why not effect this saving 

 by ordering now, and thus secure the peace of 

 mind tliat will result from having your supplies all 

 ready when you need them most ? Your order can 

 be sent in now, and the goods will be shipped at 

 any time to suit your convenience. 



Best goods, best service, best treatment, are in- 

 sured by sending your orders to OHIO'S BEE- 

 SUPPLY CENTER — special headquarters for bee- 

 keepers in Ohio, West Virginia, and western Penn- 

 sylania. If you haven't a catalog, ask for it.

"how the world should be run." 



As I have said before, amidst a great flood of 

 kind words for my department in Gleanings once 

 in a while we get a letter like the following : 



Y'ou may discontinue Gleanings when my sub- 

 scription expires. What I desire is a journal de- 

 voted to bees, and not one man's ideas on how 

 the world should be run. 



North Adams, Mass., Oct. 15. C. P. Kimball. 



My good friend, while I thank you for your 

 frank and outspoken words, I regret that I have 

 given the impression to even one person that the 

 world should be run entirely according to my 

 ideas. I have certainly been unfortunate if I have 

 failed to teach, not my ideas or opinions, but the 

 teachings of Him who left his home in heaven 

 to bring about "peace on earth and good will to 

 men." 



But after all, friend K., in writing editorials 

 for your own paper have you not to a certain 

 extent desired to let the world know "how the 

 world should be run" from your standpoint? and 

 IS It not the duty and privilege of all to have some 

 opinion as to how things should be managed?
