52 THE BEE-KEEPERS- REVIEW 



EDITORIAL CORNER 



Do not fail to read, beginning on page 59 of this number of the 

 Review, the program of the National Bee-Keepers' Association. Like- 

 ly no National program ever excelled in noted personality. The sub- 

 jects are well selected and in the hands of those who are very capable 

 of handling them. All bee-keepers living within a thousand miles 

 of St. Louis should attend. 



Notice to Secretaries. 

 During 1913 some of our most energetic Secretaries sent in over 

 40 subscribers to the Review/ for which we were very thankful. To 

 encourage this feature of our work, and for the sake of letting the 

 members know who of our Secretaries arc "workers," we are going 

 to keep tally during 1914 of the number of subscribers each Secretary 

 sends in, and their names with the number of subscribers sent, will 

 be published in the Review from month to month. Not with the idea 

 of paying them for their work, but as an honorary recognition of 

 service rendered, we are going to offer the five sending in the largest 

 number of subscribers during 1914, a year's subscription to the Re- 

 view for 1915. The list to date stands as follows: 



T. S. Whittemore, Massachusetts T 



Dr. L. D. Leonard, Minnesota 9 



S. W. Snyder, low^a 3 



Geo. W. Williams, Indiana 3 



L. C. Dadant, Illinois 1 



Member A. W. Smith, Parksville, N. Y., sends us 50 cents to 

 apply upon the Review debt, and adds: "Wouldn't it be a good plan 

 for each subscriber to 'chip in' say 50 cents each, and that would pay 

 the Review debt?" Yes, if each one receiving the Review were to 

 contribute 50 cents toward the debt, it would amount to about $1,300, 

 nearly enough to pay the debt twice. Surely, where there are so 

 many of us, there is positively no excuse of owing a cent to any one. 

 What's the matter with bee-keepers? 



The Experience of a National Member in Getting Up a Co-operative 



Order of a Car of SuppHes. 



As you know, I got the car order off after a lot of delay. We can- 

 not sell as many supplies where the bee men have to put up their 

 money thirty days or more before they get the supplies as we could 

 if we had the supplies here and each could buy what he wanted. The
