The Review Debt Subscription List. 

 The undersigned are the liberal subscriber-members who have 

 contributed toward paying off our Revikvv debt. It will be noticed 

 that we must have many more contributions to make it possible to pay 

 off one-third of the debt this winter, as you know the time is limited 

 that we have to pay in, according to our contract. We should at least 

 swell this contributed list to $:;?.jO during the next sixty days. It is 

 up to you, subscriber-member, whether we pay the debt and own the 

 Review or not. Send your dollars to the Review office. The list as 

 subscribed to date is as follows:

 tributions will apply on the principal.

Editor Review : Please take out my 

 advertisement in the Review. Have sold 

 all honey at a fair price and most of 

 it through the Review. Thanks tor the 

 favor.

Pioneer, Mich.. Dec. 9. 1913. 

 Mr. E. D. Townsend: 



Dear Sir : Yours of the 6th at hand. 

 There are quite a number of bee-keepers 

 who are conveniently located to attend 

 a convention at Fife Lake. There are 

 good hotel accommodations there, and 

 [ suppose there must be a lodge room 

 ■of some kind that could be secured to 

 hold the meeting in. 1 believe if the 

 matter was worked up, there might be 

 a good meeting held there. 



Our bees are reasonably quiet ; they 

 have been in the cellars now nearly a 

 month. By giving them lots of fresh 

 air we have kept them quiet, although 

 the temperature in the cellars has been 

 aljove 50 degrees the most of the time. 

 If I can keep the air pure, fresh and 

 dry all the time in the cellar, I am not 



as particular about where the tempera- 

 ture stands as I once was, so long as it 

 keeps between i2 and 60 degrees. 



Elmer Hutchinson. 



Two deaths occurred during October 

 that were reported at this office. Mr. J. 

 J. Miller, Tunkhannock, Pa., died on 

 the 17th of October, and Mr. A. A. Lud- 

 ington, Verona Mills, Mich., died on 

 the 20th of the same month. Mr. Lud- 

 ington was a familiar figure at our 

 state conventions for years. For sever- 

 al seasons Mr. Ludington used to sell out 

 his honey before we did, then he would 

 send us the orders he would get for us 

 to fill. How many bee-keepers are there 

 who, when they are sold out of honey, 

 try and help some neighbor to dispose 

 of his, as did Mr. Ludington? He was 

 an example worthy of following. Mr. 

 Ludington's house-apiaries have been 

 shown in the back numbers of the Re- 

 view as the older readers will remem- 

 ber. Some reader may be able to tell 

 us more of Mr. Miller, as a bee-keeper 

 and neighbor.
