The Secretary of the IlHnois State Association Sends Out Notices. 



I have before me a copy of a letter sent out l:)y the hustling 

 Secretary of the Illinois Association, James A. Stone, to about 

 twelve hundred bee-keepers in his state. The letter is one that 

 should bring results, and it would be a good thing if more of our 

 State Associations would follow this line of sending out circulars 

 to the bee-keepers in their state. 



This letter requests renewals of membership in the State and 

 National, asking that $1.50 be sent to the secretary at once, which 

 also includes subscription to the Re\iew. It also promised a printed 

 report of the last Convention to all those who are paid up. Any 

 Review readers Avho have not sent their membership to Secretary 

 Stone should do so at once. 



The Northern California Bee-Keepers' Association Has Become 

 Affiliated With the National. 



I was much pleased to get a report from the Secretary, Alvin 

 L. Heim, stating that their Association at a meeting held December 

 30th, voted to become afi(iliated with the National. They did not 

 want announcement made in the February Review, because they 

 wanted to knovr what action was taken by the delegates at Cin- 

 cinnati with reference to the proposed amendment to the Constitu- 

 tion, allowing all members of an affiliated association to be con- 

 sidered members of the National. If that did not pass, then they 

 decided to form a new Association to be kno\\'n as the Northern 

 California Branch. 



Am glad to say that the amendment passed so all members of 

 the Northern California Association are members of the National 

 Association. In acknowledging their membership it was my 

 pleasure to send them a number of new members to their Associa- 

 tion ; these were bee-keepers who wanted to join the National and 

 that rightfullv 'oelonged to that Branch.
