THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW

The Review Debt Subscription List 



The undersigned are the liberal subscriber-members who have 

 contributed toward paying off our REVIEW 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 $250 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:

Subscriptions to the Review debt are not coming as fast as we 

 anticipated; still, we have at this writing $210.35, the last month's 

 contribution being the largest yet, which is very encouraging. There 

 are still several friends who have not yet subscribed toward the debt. 

 To such we would suggest that you let your dollar come along so 

 we can list you in the February REVIEW. We feel proud of the above 

 list. It is the largest one yet and several others have written that 

 their contributions are forthcoming, so we feel encouraged. One feels 

 good when contributing toward a good cause, and we should like to 

 ask the honey producers where they could contribute to better advan- 

 tage than toward the REVIEW debt. Let us swell the list more next 

 month than during the preceding months. Contributions can be sent 

 to Secretaries or to this office, as you choose. 



meet, and it must be met or we will 

 suflFer. Although advertising is ex- 

 pensive, we do not need anywhere 

 near such a sum as these pay, as 

 honey has high intrinsic value, and 

 will respond quickly to judicious ad- 

 vertising and the beekeepers them- 

 selves are potent factors in this, and 

 will, when properly organized, do 

 much by local effort. Please discuss 

 this matter at your meeting and in- 

 struct your delegate as to your pleas- 

 ure, so that he may give the National 

 meeting the results of your wisdom, 

 and let us make the Association what 

 it should be, a powerful and effective 

 means of bettering the business. 



The Review is proving a wonderful 

 help to us, in an educational way, and 

 in aiding the producers to effect a 

 better organization. Efforts are be- 



ing made to drop it and leave us with- 

 out any means of official communica- 

 tion. Those who are asking this may 

 be sincere in their position, but their 

 viewpoint is not that of the actual 

 producer, to whom it would be noth- 

 ing short of a calamity to lose the 

 support of such a paper as the Re- 

 view, a paper all our own, dedicated 

 to the interests of the beekeepers. 

 Every beekeeper who does not take it 

 now should subscribe, and those who 

 do take it should renew. 



We are taking as our watchword 

 for the year, "GET TOGETHER AND 

 BOOST HONEY." We trust that 

 your association will concur in doing 

 this. Some have already started to 

 plan out ways to do this. Get in line 

 with them and help "do things."
