BEES ARE DYING OF STARVATION Vn Many Sections of State the Farmers Are Feeding Sugar Warning that many valuable colonies of bees in Pennsylvania are dying of starvation and that there may be a short crop of honey, which has been steadily mounting in value the last half dozen years, is given by the State Department of Agricul ture in a bulletin. The continued rainy weather which prevented flights and stayed the time of bloom \0t; of the flowers is responsible for ti,i condition and it is state 4 that only warmer weather and opening of white clover blossoms with an early buckwheat crop will save heavy loss. In some sections of the state sugar syrup is being fed to the bees in or der to preserve the colonies. State inspectors have been busy going through apiaries and have found the starving conditions to be worse than ever known. Tho departmeut also reports a very large increase in acreage de voted to beans and oats, but that weather conditions have been un favorable for wheat which is looking poor and thin in many sections of the state. The bulletin says: "The low tem perature and lack of sunshine and general weather conditions kept the crops back during May and the gen eral season is from ten days to three weeks back in many sections of the state."

TEACHER PENSION BILL IS PASSED Goes Through House by Over whelming Vote After Long Discussion The Tompkins Senate bill estab lishing a teachers' pension system for Pennsylvania was passed in the House at the night session after an hour's speech making. The vote was i"2 to 17. Mr. Milliron, Armstrong, opposed the bill because of possibil ity of big war pensions. Messrs. Stites, Montgomery, Sterling, Phila delphia, and Wallace, Lawrence, ad vocated the bill. Mr. Snyder, West moreland, closed the debate opposing the bill. The measure was sent to the Sen ate for concurrence in amendments. The bill carries SIO,OOO for organ ization, the system to beiome effec tive in 1919. The teachers will con tribute one-half, the school district and the State each one-fourth. The House also passed finally the | Senate bill authorizing county con trolers to appoint a solicitor in coun ties having between 100,000 and 150,000 population. The Senate passed finally these Senate appropriation bills: State's share of abolishing grade crossings, $250,000. State emergency public works fund, $50,000. Compilation of old statutes, $lB,- 000. State inebriate asylum, $250,000. Paoli parade ground memorial, $30,000. French creek improvement, $25,- 000. Erie fleet monument, $20,000. After the House had voted to drop all of its own bills it passed finally these Senate bills; Providing for quadrennial county assessments of property. Validating borough liens for pav ing and curbing. Permitting companies not organiz ed for profit to increase debt. Regulating importation of defec tive children into the State. The Senate bill to make the quail a song bird, was dropped from the calendar. The bill authorizing ap peals from orders of common pleas courts for new trials, went the same way. The House quit at 11.30 p. m. Peter B. Kyne Is in Dilemma of Duties Oakland, Cal., June 29.—Peter B. Kyne, the noted short story writer, |is in a dilemma of duties. Patriotic j urgings call him to the colors on one hand, but on the other is a literary obligation that holds him back. Ho is engaged on a novel which his pub lishers are wiring for daily. Just as soon as Kyne gets the novel off his typewriter, he is going to enlist. He hopes to be able to enter the next reserve officers train ing camp at the San Francisco Pre sidio in August. When Kyne quits the pen for the sword he will be the guest of honor at a banquet to be given by the Oak land Chamber of Commerce and will be made an honorary member of that organization. Plans are now under way to make it a gala mili tary event in this city. Oakland claims Kyne as its own because of his residence in one of the suburbs, and also because much of the material for his sea stories is drawn from Oakland's waterfront. In this respect he follows somewhat in the steps o fthe late Jack London, who discovered some of his most noted characters along Oakland's docks in the days of the whalers. Kyne will be no "rookie" when he dons khaki," for he soldiered in the Philippines in the "fighting Four teenth," while he was still in his beardless 'teens. "I admit I lied about my age to get into the regular army," Kyne says: "but wild horses couldn't have kept me away from that chase after Aguinaldo. I feel a good deal the same way about the Kaiser."
