 Fort Collins is on the Colorado & Southern Rail-

 good. The roads through northern Colorado are 

 good. This section north of Denver is the garden 

 spot of the state. We suggest to members having 

 automobiles to make the trip in their car, bring 

 their families or beekeeping friends along; let them 

 enjoy the beautiful scenery along the way, and have 

 a good time at Lindenmeier Lake Park. This place 

 is the popular picnic place of that city. It is one 

 mile from town, and street-car runs right up to the 

 gate. There is plenty of shade, a large lake with 

 boats, and every comfort desired. Be sure to come, 

 and induce other beekeepers to join you.

 and help a widow at the same time?

SPECIAL NOTICES 



BY A. I. BOOT 



FATHER, GRANDFATHER, GREAT-GBANDFATHEE. 



Real manhood, it seems to me, commence.^ when 

 somebody begins to call a man " father." And when 

 it comes to being called " grandfather " he ought to 

 realize a greater responsibility is resting on his 

 shoulders ; and if a kind Providence permits him to 

 live until he is a great-grandfather, he should feel, 

 especially if he is in the full enjoyment of his fac- 

 ulties, that there is a still greater reason for devoutly 

 thanking God for having permitted him to live so 

 long. And what I have had to say about fatherhood 

 applies, of course, with as great (or greater) force 

 to motherhood. The above remarks are prompted 

 because on Sunday morning. May 21, Mrs. Root and 

 I could thank God that he had permitted us to see 

 not only our children's children, but were permitted 

 to welcome into this world or ours one great-grand- 

 daughter, Rebecca Ellen Calvert. At this time. May 

 27, both mother and baby are doing finely. 



Perhaps I should add that the father and mother 

 of this new arrival are Mr. Howard R. Calvert and 

 the daughter of Mrs. H. G. Acklin, mentioned on 

 page 646, Aug. 1, 1915. " Howard " is the eldest 

 of our oldest daughter " Maude," and Mr. J. T. Cal- 

 vert, General Manager of The A. I. Root Co. 



" THE GOOD TIMS COMING. 



Mr. A. J. Root: — I have just read your temper- 

 ance talks in Feb. 1st Gleanings, and am thanking 

 God for the progress that comniuu s.ense and right- 

 eousness are making, and for a few fearless men 

 like you and Billy Sunda;. who keep constantly 

 fighting the great "evils of our counlr., . We will 

 secure a few more recruits, and make a few more 

 charges, and, with the help of God, victory will be 

 ours. 



You and I are old, and may not live to see the 

 blessed day; but earth shall glisten in the ray of the 

 good time "coming, boys, .the good time coming, when 

 the saloon will be a remiuesccnt of the darker days 

 of the past. 



While you have on your war-paint in opposing the 

 saloon, there is another evil that needs the batteries 

 of all righteous people turned upon it, and that is 

 the pool hall. Of itself it is not so formidable an 

 enemy of God ; but in dry territory, at Ica.Nt, it is 

 a bureau of evil information where the tlioughtless 

 youth can always find some one wlio can direct him 

 lo the boot-legger, the harlot, or the gambling-den. 

 I pray God tliat they and the saloon may go down 

 together. 1>. \V. Holland.
