Co-operation 



In the May numl)er of the Ameri- 

 can Bee Journal. 1918, appeared an 

 article on co-operative selling, page 

 158. It contains much of good com- 

 mon sense. But for those who are in- 

 terested in co-operation I would refer 

 them to Monthly Bulletin, Vol. viii, 

 No. 7, of California Commission of 

 Horticulture, Sacramento, Calif., G. 

 A. Hecke, Commissioner. This gives 

 a report of the work of many of the 

 C9-operative organizations in Califor- 

 nia, and they have been a success.

New York State Meeting 



The State meeting of New York 

 beekeepers will be held at Syracuse, 

 February 4 and S, this promising *^o 

 be the most interesting and extensive 

 meeting ever held by this organiza- 

 tion and you cannot afford to let this 

 meeting pass without attending same. 

 For program address C. M. Cunning- 

 ham, 303 University Place, Syracuse, 

 N. Y. 



The National Convention 



As we go to press word comes 

 from Secretary Justice to the effect 

 that the National Convention will be 

 held at Buffalo, N. Y., in Hotel Stat- 

 ler, on March 1, 2 and 3. This should 

 not be confused with the conference 

 of delegates to be held at Meulbach 

 Hotel in Kansas City on January 6, 

 7, 8 and 9, at which it is proposed to 

 work out a plan of reorganization of 

 the National. Delegates representing 

 all beekeeping organizations of the 

 United States, teachers of beekeep- 

 ing and members of allied trades will 

 attend the Kansas City conference in 

 an effort to devise a plan for a na- 

 tional organization which will meet 

 the needs of the times. A report of 

 this conference will be ready for the 

 general convention at Buffalo, and it 

 is hoped that the attendance will be a 

 large and representative one. The 

 program will be announced later. 



Missouri Meeting 



The annual meeting of Missouri 

 beekeepers will be held at Columbia 

 on January 19 to 23. "Those interest- 

 ed can secure programs and other in- 

 formation from Dr. L. Haseman, at 

 Columbia. 



Dr. C. C. Miller and His People 



Dr. C. C. Miller is an international 

 figure. Every beekeeper who be- 

 longs to the progressive caste knows 

 him through his writings. So a few 

 words from his pen, after a siege of 

 sickness, at the age of 88, will be of 

 interest. Not only he has been laid 

 up, but Miss Wilson, his sister-in- 

 law, who has for years managed the 

 "Beekeeping for Women" column in 

 this magazine, has been suffering of 

 her eyes. Dr. Miller writes: 



"A few years ago Miss Wilson's 

 right eye began to be obscured by a 

 cataract, and in time became en- 

 tirely blind. Oculists, however, ad- 

 vised that nothing should be done 

 about it so long as she had one good 

 eye. Then the left eye became trou- 

 bled in the same way. When it be- 



came so bad that she could no longer 

 see to read, an operation upon the 

 right eye took place with entire suc- 

 cess, and after nineteen days' so- 

 journ in the hospital she is expected 

 to return home, seeing. 



"With regard to myself, while I am 

 thankful to be gaining, yet in some 

 respects the gain is not so rapid as 

 I should like. I find myself quite 

 disinclined to make any mental exer- 

 tion and quite inclined to put off 

 till afternoon what I should like to 

 do in the forenoon, and when after- 

 noon comes to put it off till ne.xt day. 

 Maybe it's pure laziness. I feel keenly 

 your kindness and forbearance, and 

 I'm hoping that as I am increasing 

 in physical strength I may overcome 

 this feeling of la — well, you can finish 

 out the word with "ssitude" or "zi- 

 ness," just as you like. 



"Mrs. Miller seems to have become 

 tired of being the only one in the 

 family in vulgar good health, so on 

 Wednesday of last week she fell and 

 sprained both wrists, and has suf- 

 fered severelj' with them. 



"Since the above was written a 

 telephone message from Elgin in- 

 forms is that Miss Wilson's return 

 home will be later than was expected, 

 at least by a day or two.
