THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW

situation. Tlie Xational at the present time does not contemplate 

 any dangerous encounters, and hopes to employ its efforts in build- 

 ing instead of fighting. 



For every dollar you pay for a bee journal, the advertiser planks 

 down an additional dollar, which you finally pay ; for the ad\-ertiser 

 gets the dollar out of you when you buy his goods. So e\'ery dollar 

 bee paper or other journal costs you two dollars, probably more, 

 for the advertiser would not continue to advertise if he did not get 

 more than his money back. You can enhance the assets of the 

 Association very materially by patronizing the Rfa'ievv advertisers, 

 advertising yourself and getting all the members you can. The 

 Review is expected to be an effective membership builder and to 

 return a profit to the Association, furnishing a fund to go after 

 larger game. At the present time we are not expecting large re- 

 turns except in the way of enlarging the membership. 



The Reniew will be published for the members. Advertisers 

 will be admitted to grace the advertising pages so long as they 

 have a golden rule proposition to present to the members. You 

 cannot help the Association more than by writing at once of any 

 dishonesty on the part of any advertiser. 



The Review will deal with the science, practice and progress of 

 bee-keeping. As much thought will be crammed into each page as 

 the paper will hold. The National Association will work through 

 the Review for Xational grading rules, and the business side of 

 honey marketing. A\'e will not forget the enthusiastic amateur or 

 the nature loving bee student. And with it all we will work for 

 the building up of the co-operative spirit among bee-men. This is 

 the most hopeful thought of the times. \\'e are beginning to realize 

 that the people can manage their own aff'airs if they get started 

 right, and are not too impatient of results.
