THE BEE-KEEPERS' REVIEW 



59 



mendous possibilities of advertising 

 in the enthusiasm of the beekeepers 

 themselves. This has heretofore taken 

 the form of inventing traps and con- 

 veniences around bee-hives, etc., and 

 it is now turning into the channel of 

 publicity, and what wonders may not 

 happen when the 100,000 beekeepers 

 get after that phase of the matter in 

 earnest. We have no time to pick 

 flaws with the editor for doing two 

 men's work for one man's pay, or as 

 has happened, for no pay at all, and 

 no time to quarrel about the ethics 

 of the little things, but we must go 

 after the things worth while, and go 

 hard. We must make up our minds 

 to one thing, too, and that is, what- 

 ever way we go, we will need more 

 funds than we have had. The Asso- 

 ciation is past the age of sentiment, 

 and is out for business. It can no 



longer pay its bills in sentiment, but 



must pay in coin. 



And now for Denver. How would 



it suit you to gather at Chicago and 



all the delegates from east of there 

 take a special reserved tourist sleep- 

 er the rest of the way? Arrange- 

 ments have been partially made that 

 way, and those south and west can 

 join the party at any point west and 

 all have a good time. The car will 

 start at 10:00 P. M., Sunday, and ar- 

 rive at Denver Tuesday morning at 

 7:00 o'clock, in ample time for the 

 morning- session. All the delegates 

 and visitors who wish to take this 

 car should send me their names, es- 

 pecially those west of Chicago, so am- 

 ple accommodations will be provided. 

 The cost of the tourist sleeper will 

 be about $3.00, in addition to the reg- 

 ular fare. As the whole car will be 

 reserved, we can bring our own lunch- 

 eon, have our own coffee, and be at 

 home, and go visiting with each other 

 all at the same time. The time set 

 is the 16th, 17th, and 18th of Feb- 

 ruary, and the convention will meet 

 in the Auditorium Hotel. The rates 

 will be $1.50 per day, where two oc- 

 cupy the same room. 



Special Car Secured for the Denver Meeting, 

 February 16-17-18, 1915 



A special reserved tourist car or 

 more if necessary has been secured 

 to accommodate the delegates and 

 visitors to the National Association 

 Meeting at Denver. The routing is 

 over the Burlington (The C. B. & 

 Q. R. R.) starting from the Union 

 Station, Chicago at 11:00 p. m., 

 Sunday, the 14th. and arriving at 

 Denver at 7:30 Tuesday morn- 

 ing in ample time for the meeting. 

 The fare between Chicago and Den- 

 ver is $22.75 each way, lower berths 

 are $3.00 and they will accommo- 

 date two persons at the same price. 

 The upper berths are $2.40. 



The sleeper will be ready about 

 10:00 o'clock. I would advise you 

 to buy your tickets at your home 

 town clear through, as you will 

 savie a little by this way in most 

 cases. If you are going to the coast, 

 you can have your ticket routed 

 this way, and a one way ticket to 

 the coast will allow stop-over in 

 Denver for the three days, if your 

 ticket bears the full tariff limit. 

 Be careful and arrange this provi- 



sion, or you may not get the full 

 time. 



In reserving berths, better write 

 to A. J. PUHL, &en. Pass. Dept., 

 Burlington Route, Chicago, men- 

 tioning that the reservation desired 

 is in the Beekeepers' special car. 

 This is essential, and will prevent 

 any delay or inconvenience. If you 

 do not do this, you are liable to 

 find yourself in some other car 

 or even another section. 



This arrangement gives all who 

 desire it an opportunity to carry 

 their own lunch, make their own 

 coffee, visit with all the dele- 

 gates, and get acquainted with 

 those we have never met. It 

 is a splendid opportunity for a good 

 time all around. 



Those who are west of Chicago 

 can join the party at any of the 

 places designated in the Burling- 

 ton's notice in the Review. Better 

 make your reservations so that you 

 will be accommodated. 



It is very certain that we will 

 have a splendid attendance at this
