SHRINER’S DAY AT TYRONE.
The Tyrone Division P. R. R. Y.M
C. A. Athletic Park, at Tyrone, Pa.
one of the most beautiful parks in the
country, will be the playgrouud for
the Shriners of Jaffa Temple on June
21st, when, under the auspices of the
Tyrone Shriners, a field day and gen-
eral good time will be held.
The events will start at two in the
afternoon with a big Shriner’s parade
(this parade to form at 1:30 sharp)
over the main thoroughfares of the
town, terminating at the Athletic Park
where the program will start off at
once in full swing. Among the many
features outlined for the afternoon at
the park, will be band concerts by the
Jaffa Temple band, the Tyrone Shop
band, the Jaffa Temple Oriental band,
and selections by the Jaffa Temple
Chanters. There will also be drills
by the Jaffa Temple patrol, a golf
match between two champions, a base-
ball game between Tyrone Division
and Huntingdon, and other amuse-
ments galore. The fine swimming
pool will be open for all who wish to
bring their bathing suits along for a
cool swim; likewise the six “skin” ten-
nis courts for devotees of that sport.
When the sports are done, a fine
luncheon will be served the Shriners
and their guests by Noble R. C. Al-
bright, chairman of the refreshment
committee, who has provided a large
tent and all other arrangements for
comfortably and promptly serving all.
In the evening the program will be
continued in the main part of town,
starting off with two street concerts,
one by the Jaffa Temple band, the
other by the Tyrone Shop band, each
in different and advantageous loca-
tions on Pennsylvania Avenue. The
Chanters will also render a pleasing
open air concert on Pennsylvania Ave-
nue.
The tlock dance follows on Pennsyl-
vania Avenue, for which a Tyrone or-
chestra of ten pieces will play. This
promises to be a most enjoyable fea-
ture, and will be open to all, regard-
less of whether they are members of
the organization or not. At the same
time a dance will be held in the Junior
Assembly hall, which will be for
Shriners and their guests exclusively.
Competent persons will be in attend-
ance to care for the children under
sixteen years of age while the dance
is on.
At the park and everywhere about
the town nothing has been left undone
for the comfort and convenience of
all. There will be adequate parking
space; one-way traffic to and from the
park; good police protection; ample
facilities for the ladies, rest rooms,
etc., free trolley service between the
town and the park, and free automo-
biles bearing the “Hop-In” sign; a
trained nurse and several physicians
will look to the needs of any who may
become ill; information bureaus—in
fact, nothing has been overlooked that
will add to the enjoyment of all.
A cordial invitation is extended to
all Shriners, their wives, mothers,
families, sweethearts, friends, and to
the public at large to come and join
in the festivities of the day on one of
the most beautiful playgrounds in
America, in one of the finest and livest
towns in the State.
Bradley T. Frazier, of Tyrone, illus-
trious potentate of Jaffa Temple, will
be chief executive of the day. Frank
W. Acklin, of Tyrone, is general
chairman of all committees, and he
will be ably assisted by the following
Tyrone Shriners, who are chairmen of
the committees named: Paul I. Neff,
program; R. C. Albright, refresh-
ments; William B. Murdock, recep-
tion; Paul M. Goheen, publicity; Jas.
A. Beamer, music; John N. Davis,
grounds; A. B. Woodring, transporta-
tion; Claude Jones, privileges; Geo.
D. Wands, police; Harry H. Henry,
illumination; Dr. R. L. Piper, emer-
gency; Ben Jones, information.
STRAW FOR HOUSE
CONSTRUCTION.
M. Feuillette, a Frenchman, has in-
vented a method of using straw as a
material for the construction of
houses. The straw is tightly com-
pressed into blocks of convenieent size
and these are used for filling spaces
between the timbers of the frame-
work. Tar paper is placed between
the foundation and the first course of
straw blocks to prevent dampness.
The outside is covered with a layer of
reinforced watertight cement and the
inner surface so finished that it can be
papered or painted the same as a plas-
tered wall. A system of tubes is in-
stalled in the lower part of the walls
to be used when desired for distrib-
uting a gaseous disinfectant to de-
stroy vermin in case any should ap-
pear.
The new material appears to be par-
ticularly desirable for use in sections
of the country in which building ma-
terials are scarce. It is said that a
comfortable, substantial house can be
built by the new method at a cost of
40 per cent. less than that of a simi-
lar house of the material. By mak-
ing the blocks and constructing the
framework at some central point and
then shipping them to the building
site the inventor declares that much
time can be saved in erection, partic-
ularly where a number of houses are
to be put up near together. A num-
ber of the new houses have already
been erected. Because the straw is an
excellent non-conductor of heat they
are remarkably warm in winter and
cool in summer.

FARM NOTES.
Habits of Bees; Queen is Supreme.
— Under natural conditions bees live
in the hollows of trees or similar cav-
ities, in a wild state, obtaining their
living from the fieids as best they can.
They are easily manipulated to occu-
py and thrive in artificial hives, and,
if necessary, to be stimulated by arti-
ficial feeding.
In the spring the queen bee begins
to lay eggs in the workers’ cells of the
hive, which are the smallest cells.
These eggs develop first into larvae,
are then capped over and transformed
into pupae, from which they merge
into adult worker bees. The process
takes about twenty-one days from
the laying of the egg.
Meanwhile the original workers
continue to bring in pollen, nectar to
be made into honey, and water for
brood rearing. When the hive is near-
ly filled with stores, or when the hon-
ey flow is on, the queen begins to lay
eggs in another set of cells, which are
slightly larger than the worker cells,
and which develop into drones or
males.
With the advent of the young work-
ers and drones the colony would at-
tain enormous size, were it not for the
operation of swarming, which consists
of the departure of the queen and a
part of the original workers, and
which division makes possible an in-
crease in he number of colonies.
Preparatory to swarming the queen
lays eggs in specially prepared cells,
which are larger than any other cells
in the hive, and which hang on the
comb vertically; these are queen cells.
The larvae in these cells receive spe-
cial food; they are sealed up, then the
colony is ready for swarming.
The first swarm from a colony con-
sists of the original queen and a part
of the workers. They leave behind
them the bulk of the honey stores, ex-
cept such as they carry in their honey
stomachs, the brood, some workers,
the drones and the developing queen
cells.
The swarm locates a new home,
such as a hollow tree, or, if cared for
by the beekeeper, in another hive,
where a new colony is started. The
workers build new combs, the queen
starts laying in the worker cells and
in a short time there are all the activ-
ities of the original colony.
Meanwhile the original colony,
which has been increased by the bees
emerging from the brood, the young
queens also emerge. These latter are
few in number. If there is to be but
one swarm, as in the case of a small
colony, then the first queen to emerge
is permitted by the workers to destroy
the other queens not yet emerged, and
forthwith she reigns in the hive. If,
however, a second swarm is to be giv-
en off, the worker bees protect the re-
maining queen cells for this event.
In about five days the virgin queen
takes her wedding flight from the hive
and is mated with a drone. Normal-
ly there is but one mating during the
life of the queen, which mating will
yield fertility to the million or more
eggs which the queen may lay during
her lifetime. This mating always
takes place on the wing. The queen
never leaves the hive at any other
time except with a swarm to set up a
new colony. Her sole mission in the
community is to lay eggs to keep up
the population.
When the main honey flow is over,
mated, the drones, being of no further
use, are driven from the hive by the
workers. If for any reason the colo-
ny is without a queen the drones are
not expelled from the hive.
If the virgin queen, while on her
wedding flight meets with an acci-
dent and fails to return to the hive, or
if for any reason the colony is left
queenless, some of the workers may
begin to lay eggs, but these eggs will
develop only drones, and are there-
fore worthless.
If a virgin queen is prevented from
mating through some unusual circum-
stances she generally dies, though she
may survive and lay eggs, which will
develop into drones, hence she is
worthless.
During the height of the season a
prolific queen may lay about 3000 eggs
a day, which fact gives some idea of
her importance and why she receives
the tenderest care from her workers.
Under natural conditions her life may
cover six years or more. In domesti-
cation it is found best to limit her ac-
tivities to two or three years.
Because the queen is the mother of
the whole colony and never mates but
once, it is very important that she
should mate with a vigorous thor-
oughbred drone. And because there
is no way to observe or control this
mating, the only way to be sure of the
pure blood of the drone is to examine
the first offspring. If that is up to re-
quired standards, the queen may be
rated as a tested queen and sold as
such.
If the queen has not survived the
winter dormant period, and the colo-
ny is dwindled, it is usually best to
unite the queenless bees with a nor-
mal colony. New queens can be
bought, however. A queenless colony
can be restored by adding a frame or
two of brood from which a queen can
be reared, but this takes time and may
result in a stoppage in brood rearing
at a time when the hive can least af-
ford it.
In uniting two colonies, which is
accomplished by smoking both vigor-
ously to allay the distinctive odors
by which bees recognize their own
hive, the queen should be caged for a
day or two with her original family
to prevent being killed in the first ex-
citement.
Another habit should be considered:
Bees remember the location of their
hive. Therefore, if two colonies are
to be united the two hives should be
moved closer together, very gradually,
not more than a foot at a time, until
they stand side by side, whereupon
the inmates are unaware of any
change in location.
It is an easy matter to move bees
that have swarmed, because in this
state they are full of honey and have
lost their memory of the old location.
—Look at the roots of peach trees
for borers. Gum is almost a sure in-
dication that the tree has borers. Cut
out these pests and destroy them.
