THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



The Secretary's Corner 



GEO. W. WILLIAMS, Redkey, Ind. 



Hurrah for Dr. Bonney's stickers. 

 I have just got some of them. Have 

 you seen them ? Get some and put 

 one on every letter you send out. I 

 have just written Dadants, congratu- 

 lating them on arranging them for 

 sale. They only cost a trifle, 35c per 

 thousand. I would like to see a mil- 

 lion of them put on letters the coming 

 year. This is one of the little things 

 that show which way the wind is blow- 

 ing. It is just what I like to see. It 

 shows that we are all "getting togeth- 

 er and boosting." When we all get to 

 using our brains and common sense in 

 pushing honey to the front in every 

 way possible, beekeeping will advance 

 with rapid strides. When our people 

 u:e their ingenuity in devising ways 

 and means to SELL HONEY to the ex- 

 tent that they have in the past in 

 making improved drone catchers and 

 double acting, divisible Brood Cham- 

 bers, we will get results, and BIG 

 ones at that. Who will be the next 



lucky man to give us something good. 

 Start it off", and we will help you 

 "boost" it in the "Corner" without 

 costing you a cent, if it will "boost" 

 honey. 



How do you like the Review lately? 

 Isn't it a "Hummer"? Some are crit- 

 icising it and wanting to drop it, be- 

 cause it is "crude and uncouth." I 

 take it that the Secretary is to blame, 

 as his picture was printed in it. Do 

 you know how much the Review is 

 costing you ? Do you know the sac- 

 rifice the managing editor is making 

 to give you the Review? If you are 

 criticising, you had better find out. 

 Do you know how much salary the 

 associate editors and correspondents 

 get for giving you the best that they 

 have ? They do not get a red cent. 

 You get the Review and membership 

 in the National Association for the 

 same price you would have to pay 

 for fees alone if the Review were 

 dropped. In that case, there would be 



Luncheon of the Colorado Ilone\- Prof)' .cers' A.ss'n at the AuditiMiiini Ho- 

 tel, Dec. 29th., 1914.

 reader is especially invited to attend this meeting.
