Convention Notices. 



The Washington State Bee-keepers' Association 

 will hold a two-days' convention in the court-house, 

 North Yakima, Wash., Jan. 4 and 5. There will be 

 a basket-picnic dinner on Wednesday. We expect 

 all bee-keepers to attend who possibly can. There 

 will be several speakers, and papers of interest to 

 bee-keepers: also election of officers for 1911. Come, 

 and bring your best lady with you. 



North Yakima, Wash. J. B. Ramage, Sec. 



The annual meeting of the Oklahoma Bee-keep- 

 ers' Association will be held in connection with the 

 " Farmers' Short Course " at the A. and M. Col- 

 lege, Stillwater, Jan. 19, 1911. All members of the 

 association should make a special effort to attend: 

 for besides the regular program, which will be giv- 

 en in the college chapel, a business meeting will be 

 held, some new officers elected, and a bee-disease 

 law drafted. Every one in the State, interested in 

 bee-keeping, is invited to attend. 



Stillwater, Okla. F. W. Vandemark, Sec. 



The Ohio State Bee-keepers' Association will hold 

 its annual convention Feb. 16 and 17, at Cincinnati. 

 All bee-keepers of the .State are invited to attend, to 

 make this meeting (the second of its kind) a grand 

 success. Headquarters will be at Grand Hotel, halls 

 \os. 1 and 2. Ohio bee-keepers wishing to read pa- 

 ,iers on bee culture are urged to do so. Now is the 

 ,!ine for bee-men to get together and make their 

 influence felt through the General Assembly of the 

 State. We have a few local bee-keepers' associa- 

 tions throughout the State: but single-handed they 

 can not accomplish much. East year the Ohio 

 State Bee-keepers' Association, through the Gene- 

 ral Assembly, passed a new foul-brood law — the 

 best one, experts say, in the country. It Is a model 

 which bee-keepers of other States are putting up to 

 their legislators. The program will be announced 

 later. Henry Reddekt, Secretary. 



J. H. Moore, Pres. 



I want Gleanings as long as I live. It's all right, 

 and I don't know how it could be improved. Am 

 much Interested in the " Home Articles " and A. I. 

 Root. May he long live to give us cheering and 

 helpful articles. 



The illustrations are perfect, and I am much 

 pleased with the moving-picture department: and, 

 in fact, with every thing from the index to the last 

 ad. Dr. Frank Parker.

Books and Magazines. 



THE BOY AND THE OPPORTUNITY'. 



Alden Arthur ICnipe is the author of a recently 

 published book for young readers, " Captain of the 

 Eleven," which tells of life at a well-known prepar- 

 atory school. Dr. Knipe is a graduate of the I'ni- 

 verslty of Pennsylvania, and devotes much of his 

 time to literature. His wife. Emelia Benson Knipe, 

 is an artist, and together they wrote " Little Miss 

 Fales," a book for young readers, published by the 

 Harpers last spring. Mr. Knipe understa'^ds the 

 problem of finding the right opportunity for the 

 right boy, and he has used the knowledge in telling 

 the story of " Captain of the Eleven." 



The general excellence of The American Magazine 

 appeals to many of our readers. It is a publication 

 which exhibits unusual energy, liveliness, courage, 

 candor, and humor. No one who reads it can ever 

 forget its distinctive qualities. It is as much of a 

 " character '" as exists anywhere— and a most intel- 

 ligent and delightful character too. 



One of the great achievements of The American 

 Magazine is its contribution to national journalism 

 through its articles by Ida M. Tarbell. Ray Stan- 

 nard Baker, and others, who are experts in their 

 special fields. 



Three great original departments, " Interesting 

 People," "The Interpreter's House," and "The Pil- 

 grim's Scrip," are worthy of attention. Any par- 

 ticular number of the magazine may contain a 

 wonderful fiction story or a beautiful picture or a 

 great article that will interest you more than these 

 departments; and yet those famous departments 

 form a great attraction in the periodical. They are 

 always there — filled to the brim with ideas, emo- 

 tions, and aspiration.s. There is a curious flavor in 

 them— singularly new, pleasing, and genuine.
