THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 83 



the International Har\ester Co. uses them for spreacHng the gospel 

 of better farming- and so making- sale for its farm machinery. 

 And the use of motion pictures for exhil)iting bee cultural methotls 

 is practicable as far as mechanical difficulties go. Bees have come 

 in for attention among the industries depicted. The motion picture 

 people have illustrated about every industry from beginning to end, 

 and about two years ago I saw a film run showing shook swarming. 

 The manipulations were good and a finger followed the queen to 

 point her out as she scampered across the comb. The finger was 

 hardly necessar^^ as the pictures were so clear that a bee-keeper 

 at any rate would see her at once. 



The cost of making a thousand-foot film, to run about twenty 

 minutes, is about $],r)00, according to the Selig Polyscope Co., 

 of Chicago, to wdiom T wrote concerning this matter about two 

 years ago. T investigated cfuite thoroughly at that time and found 

 that an hour run of films (three) would cost in the neighborhood 

 of $5,000. The price mav l)e less now. 



It is possible that the Polyscope people would be willing to 

 enter into an agreement to take several films, the National furnish- 

 ing the actors and ec|uii)ment. and the film manufacturers taking 

 the films for their own use, Init gixing the National the use of them 

 for conventions, institutes, etc. It will not do any harm to see 

 what can be done along this line. 



The city of Boulder has been asked to pay Si, 000 for the 

 making of a film picturing the town, said picture to be shown in the 

 east. I tloubt whether the proposition is accepted, but it shows 

 that the film jjeople try to get others to pay the expense of the 

 making of their films, which they lease out at big prices to the 

 local show houses all over the countrv. — W. F. 



Each Affiliated Association Allowed to Fix Their Own Annual Dues. 

 It Was So Ordained by the Delegates at Cincinnati. 



Each Affiliated Association of the National is allowed to fix 

 its own annual dues, not one cent of the fee beini^ sent to tlie Na- 

 tional headquarters. Isn't that very easy to understand? MORE! 

 Isn't it a most liberal polic}- toward the aftiliated Association ! 

 NEVER before, in the history of the National Association w^ere 

 members received for absolute!}- nothing going into the treasury 

 of the home office. Just the one small local fee, just sufficient for 

 local needs. 



Did you notice that word "affiliated" used above? The dele- 

 gates at Cincinnati say we shall be known as an "Affiliated Associ- 

 ation" instead of Branch associations as in the past. It is hoped
