Bee Producers Lay Plans To Improve Quality Of Honey 1 TjAXKING, Mich., Jan. B. OP) A proposal to unite the various apiary inspection services of the county to cooperate with the government in the eradication of foulblood from honey, Is being considered by the American Honey Producers' League. Tho gov ernment would supply xhalf the inspec tion funds under the plan contem plated. - B. F. Kindig, president of the leag ue, said the prevalence of fofllblood has been the greatest menace to suc cessful honey production. "Tho proposition being considered calls for a thorough inspection and cleanup in' cqch county," Mr. Kindig said. "Federal funds would be avail able when the state appropriation and the training of inspectors was satis factory to .the government. Limita tions would ho provided against the shipment of bees on combs into areas already inspected." CAPPY RICKS ; By Peter, B.

UP) The sec ond sale by auction within a few months of art treasures of the collec tion of the former Hungarian mag nate, Palffy, was held recently. Al though a number of rare treasures passed into new bands, the sale was. by no means satisfactory. Foreign bidders were nottinvited for two reasons the desire to keep tho treasures within the country .'and to ascertain the financial capacity and interest in art among the Chech oslovakian people. While these conditions may linve aTcomplishcd their purpose, they like wise kept down the proceeds of the sale, for in almost every case when a bid of 5,000 crowns (about .$150) wns reached, interest waned and many ob jects much more valuable than, that bid bad to be withdrawn. 1 ' ' Postage Stamp , , I, To Honor Poet "Well, gentlemen and at that I'm giving you all the best of it ," Cap py Hicks announced to the members of the Hilgewater Club at luncheon assembled, "considerable water will have run under a number of bridges before you seo little old Cappy Iticka around these diggings again."
