THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW. 



The editor of the Review has been invited, 

 and has accepted with pleasure.

Miss Ada L. Pickard, of Richland 

 Center, Wisconsin, who is an experienced 

 bee keeper, the Secretary of the Wiscon- 

 sin State Bee Keepers' Association, and 

 the author of many excellent articles on 

 apiculture, was recently married to Mr. 

 Nathan Boggs of Richland Center, Wis- 

 consin. Chicago will be their home, at 

 least, temporarily, while Mr. Boggs com- 

 pletes his medical studies. The Review 

 joins their many friends in wishing them 

 a long life and a happy one.

Mr. John M Rankin has resigned his 

 position as State Inspector of Apiaries, 

 and the editor of the Review has been ap- 

 pointed in his place. Mr. Rankin was 

 offered a good salary to work the year 

 round for a sugar factory at WyandoUe, 

 Michigan, and could not afford to refuse 

 the position simply to hold the Inspector- 

 ship, which furnishes him work only 

 three or four months in the year. Of 

 cour.se, it is too late this fall to do any 

 thing in the line of treating colonies af- 

 fected with foul brood. In fact, it is too 

 late to even examine colonies, unless it 

 might be on an exceptionally warm day, 

 but I shall be glad to hear from every one 

 in the State who will wish me to visit 

 their location another season. As most 

 of you know, only fsoo are appropriated 

 for this work, and, in order to accomplish 

 the most possible with the money to be 

 spent, there must be economy exercised 

 in the matter of traveling expenses. 

 Routes must be laid out in advance so as 

 to reach as many bee keepers as possible 

 with the least expenditure of money.

A Newspaper contains an item that 

 you wish some one else to see, and j'ou 

 mail him a copy of the paper. Before do- 

 ing this mark the article plainly by draw- 

 ing a line around it with a pen. On the 

 outside of the wrapper write "Marked 

 Copy." When I receive a copy of a pa- 



per that I am not accustomed to receive, 

 I naturally infer that some friend has sent 

 it to me because he wishes me to see some 

 item that it contains, and I often spend 

 quite a little time looking it over. Some- 

 times I find the item, and sometimes I 

 find nothing to show why the paper had 

 been sent. If the item had been marked, 

 all of this time and uncertainty would 

 have been saved. Some people who have 

 but little mail, when they recieve a news- 

 paper sit down and read it all over care- 

 fully — every little item. An editor, upon 

 whose desk is poured a continual stream 

 of exchanges, reads the papers by glanc- 

 at the headlines. Many copies get into 

 the waste-basket without even that much 

 attention If you send to an editor a 

 copy of a paper containing an item that 

 you wish him to see, be sure and mark it 

 distinctly, and write on the wrapper 

 "Marked Copy." Do this, never mind 

 to whom 3-ou are sending the paper. If 

 you don't, the article may never be seen.

N. E. FRANCE NOMINATED FOR GEN- 

 ERAL MANAGER. 



Editor Review — As there is now, prac- 

 tically, no one nominated for election 

 next December as the successor of the 

 Hon. Eugene Secor, I wish to place in 

 nomination a candidate for that office. 

 After consulting with some of the leading 

 bee keepers, both at the Denver conven- 

 tion and since, it has been thought best 

 to name for General Manager of the 

 National Bee Keepers' Association, Mr. 

 N. E. France of Platteville, Wisconsin. 



Not having the pleasure of an intimate 

 personal acqaintance with Mr. France, I 

 have taken pains to make inquiries re- 

 garding his fitness for the position, and 

 I find that he is a thoroughly honest and 

 capable busines man in the prime of life, 

 and temperate in all his habits. He pos- 

 sesses tact and is accustomed to speak in 

 public. He has labored unceasingly and 

 unselfishly for the upbuilding of bee 

 keeping, having spent considerable of his
