EIGHTH ANNUAL- REPOFwT OF THE 



the j teachings; it is too much. It is 

 in ojitir business as in others, we need 

 som^ poetry. There is nothing I would 

 detect worse than a swarm coming 

 out. j 



Mi|'. Stone: I make a motion that we 

 proceed with the election. 



Mrs. Snyder: He writes so many 

 excellent books that are bound that 

 he didn't put this as a test book. 



Dr. Miller: He wants to fortify 

 himself with facts. He had the queen 

 go light on a place and the swarm find 

 her. I have seen them light many 

 and many a time. 



The President: They will sometimes 

 light on three or four places and then 

 finally go to one place. 



Dr. Miller: If you read the book 

 you wouldn't know and I don't think 

 I would when I read the book, know 

 anything about bees. 



Mr. Kildow: Do you say bees don't 

 go to her, to the queen? 



Dr. Miller: It is exceptional. The 

 thing I object most strongly to in 

 that book is the moral tone. It is so 

 beautifully written you don't see the 

 rottenness. 



Mr. Bowen: The writer of that has 

 caused a swarm of bees to ^warm in 

 the air too high. But it is a beautiful 

 composition. 



The President: How about the work- 

 ers having all the royal jelly? 



Dr. Miller: They have the same 

 food for the first three days, then they 

 are weaned and the worker is fed 

 different from what the royal laval is. 



Mrs, Snyder: I think it means that 

 for generations and generations they 

 have had to give up so much. 



The President: We will proceed to 

 the election of officers. 



A Member: I second the motion. 



The President: The Secretary will 

 read the offices to be voted for. 



The Secretary: For President first. 

 The vote has to be by ballot. 



Mr. Becker: Mr. President, it is 

 generally a rule to fix the salary of 

 the officers before election. 



I move our Secretary be allowed 

 seventy-five ($75) dollars for this next 

 year. 



The President: Mr. Becker, our of- 

 ficers are not allowed any salaries. 



Mr. Stone: That is out of the Legis- 

 lature's fund. 



Mr. York: I second Mr. Becker's 

 motion. 



The President: It has been moved 

 and seconded that the Secretary be 

 allowed seventy-five (75) dollars for 

 next year. 



Motion carried. 



Mr. Stone: Mr. President, I want to 

 say in regard to the Treasurer's salary 

 of fifteen (15) dollars. There is very 

 little work to do; it is really too much 

 when you consider what the Secretary 

 gets and what he has to do. But 

 when you consider the responsibility 

 of the Treasurer, he is getting less 

 than he ought to have. He has to give 

 a bond of two thousand (2,000) dollars 

 and ought to have some compensation 

 for it. 



I move that it be continued at fif- 

 teen (15) dollars. I make a motion 

 that the Treasurer get fifteen dollars 

 again next year. 



A Member: I second the motion. 



The President: It has been reg- 

 ularly moved and seconded that the 

 Treasurer be allowed a salary of fif- 

 teen (15) dollars. 



Motion carried. 



The President: Now we are ready 

 for the election of officers. 



Mr. Bowen: I understand the bal- 

 lots are taken informally. 



Mr. Stone: We vote by ballot, nom- 

 ination or no nomination; that is ac- 

 cording to our constitution. 



Dr. Miller: I make a motion to fa- 

 cilitate matters to vote for President, 

 Secretary and Treasurer at once, the 

 first name being counted for the Presi- 

 dent, second Secretary, and the third 

 for the Treasurer. 



The President: All in favor of the 

 motion say aye. 



All in favor of it say no. 



The ayes have it. 

 ■ Mr. Stone: Mr. President, we are 

 a litle ahead of the hounds. We want 

 to vote for six men; one for President 

 and five for vice-presidents. 



The President: We will do that 

 later. 



Ballots were passed around by the 

 Secretary and the following were elect- 

 ed: 



J. Q. Smith, President. 



Jas. A. Stone, Secretary. 



Chas. Becker, Treasurer.
