Th.- buil;ling of
motor hiethways in r. cent years has
consicieribly extended the toutist
season of this park which formerly
began on June 1 with the opening of
too large hot hi The month afMny,
however , is a delightful one in the
mountains ---the trees are in the first
leaf, all the lower valleys are bril-
liant with Fpri•ng flowers, and the
sound of rushing waters from the
melting snows is to be heard on
every hand. The main park roads,
except across the high passes, are in
good condition for travel and the
glorious spring sunshine makes mo-
toring a delight. So each succeed-
ing year brings larger numbers of
motorists to the park in these early
weeks of the season. Last year 1037
ears were registered during the days
Mary 22, 23, and 24, the largest
number for any like period up to
that time.
A number of improvements will
add to the pleasure of visitors this
year. One of the most important of
these will be the new motor camp-
site on Tunnel mountain. The !pr-
imer campsite at the junction of the
Bow and Spray rivers had to be re-
linquished on account of the exten-
sion and re -modelling of the Banff
golf links, Mit the -new- campsite
promises to be even 1110T8 delightful.
It is situated on the mountain slope
overlooking the beautiful Bow valley
and there are fine views of the sur -
sounding peaks. The camp is one
of the most thoroughly equipped and
modern in the Canadian Weet. The:
site was laid out by a landscape ar-
chitect and is equipped with water
facilities, sewers, and electric light. .
Several shelter houses, community
kitchens, and baths add to the con-
venience of travellers, while the
close proximity of the .camp to Banff
will make the procuring of supplies i
an easy matter. The privilege of ,
camping may be enjeyed for a none
bud charge; this year a special rate
of two dollars permits the motorist to
camp at any government campsite in
the three adjoining parks Rocky
Mountains, Yoho and Kootenay
during a period of thirty days.
The building of the Kicking H011430
Trail, -which opened the gates of •1
Yoho park, and of the Breeff-Wincler-
in-ore highway which traverses the ;
Rocky Mountains and Kootenay peeks
have made these three reserves vir-
tu.ally one play -ground so far as the I
motorist is concerned.- Today nearly I
all visitors to .1.3anff go on to Lake
Louise which is only 37 miles away,
and thence across the Kicking Horse 1
Peas into Yoho park and on to Field, ,
int additional distance of 1,6 miles. 1
Last year hundreds of motorists also ,
took the complete circle tour, pro-
ceeding westward from Field to Gel -
den, thence south by the Columbia
River road to Firlands, British Col- 1
timbia, and thence east again by the'
Banff -Windermere highway to Rocky
Mountains park, A through motor- 1

so that even those visitors Who do

Send Them to Bed
With a Kiss
0 mothers, so weary, discouraged,
Worn nut with the cares of the day,
You often grow cross and impatient,
Complain of the noise and the play;
tor the day brings so many vexations,
So many things going amiss;
But, mothrs, whatever may vex you,
Send the children to bed with a kiss!
The dear little feet often wander,
Perhaps, from the pathway of right,
The dear little hands find new mis-
chief
To try you from 'Iterating till night;
T3ut think of the desolate mothers
Who'd give all the world for your
bliss;
And, as thanks for your infinite
blessings,
Send the children to bed with a kiss!
For some day their noise will net
vex you,
The silence will hurt you far more;
You will long for their sweet childish
voices,
For the sweet childish face at the
door;
And to press a child's face to youc
bosom,
You'd give all the world for jest this!
For the .6m -fort 'twill bring you itt
sorrow,
Send the children to bed with a kiss 1

IMPORTANCE
OF SWARM
CONTROL
At one time the skill of a bee-
keeper was measured by the number
of swarms he obtained from his
apiary, but at the present time honey
production is the index of success.
Natural swarming is the bees' meth-
od of snaking increase but coming, as
R does, just prior to or during the
main honey flow, it greatly lessens
the storing capacity of the apiary,
Furthermore, there is always the
danger of laving bees through ab-
sconding swarms. After a colony
has made its first preparations for
swarming, there is usually a slow-
ing -up of field work, and when the
swarm issues this work may cease al-
together, for it is the field force of
the colony that goes to make up the
swarm. Should nectar be coating in
at the rate of ten to twenty pounds
per day at the time of swarming, it
will readily be seen that this loss of
time on the part of the bees will
have an adverse effect on the crop
stored. As the colony ,from which
the swami issues is deprived -of its
field bees, it can no longer be expect-
ed to gather a crop of honey. Should
the beekeeper be lucky enough to
capture the swathe and return it to
the colony from which it came, the
loss in honey will not be so etenat as
where the swarm is hived on a new
stand, the time lost by the bees in
preparing for and swarming, how-
ever, means lost honey. Fortunately
the bees give ample warning when
they ore preparing to swarm. A
thorough examination once every 9
or 10 days will enable the beekeeper
to forestall natural swarming. The
bees will, in the majority of cases,
abandon their preparations if suffis
dent room is given them to store
surplus - nectar or the queen bee
given More room in the brood nest.
Shade and ventilation during the hot,
test part of the summer alio aid in
reel the tendency. For those
colonies that insist on swarming, de -
queening or separation of queen and
brood, will stop them. For Nether
particulars, send to the Bee Division,
Central Experimental Farm, Ottawa,
for Bulletin No. 88.

"That ends the man .who came be-

It was hours afterward, when a limp-

Kelsey's interest in the region was
from the point of view of the fur ,
trader and its possibilities from an •
agricultural standpoint apparntly
never occurred to him. *rhe country

recent explorers, is one of gently un-
dulating country with lichens and
mosses on the kills and shrubs, flow-

leys. It is true no trees grow north
of the timber line and that there are
! certain areas lacking in vegetation
but the greater part of the region is
so far from being barren that it

JASPER PARK IS POPULAR
'T°he National Parks of Canada are
I growing in popularity, both with
Canadians and with visitors from other
meanies, according to a report from the
Canadian National Railways hotel de-
partment, based upon the number of
visitors accommodated during the season
of 1927 at Jasper Park Lodge, the rail-
ways' hotel which is situated in Canada's
largest National Park in the heart of the
Canadian Rockies, Not only are the
numbers of United States citizens greater
than in previous years, but the registras
tion figures show a growing tendency
on the part of Canadians themselves to
take advantage of the magnificent play-
grounds which have been set aside for
them, Of total registrations, for periods
longer than one day, numbering 6,500,
approximately 20500 registered from
points in Canada, a greater registration
of Canadians themin any previous year,
Of the 6,500 guests who registered at
the Lodge during the 1927 season, 3,600
were from points in the United States,
the state of California leading tvith 840
registrations.. Other states largely repre-
sented were Illinois with 40; New York
State, 548; Minnesota, 251; Ohio, 208;
Pennsylvania 161 and Alichigan 83,
Of those registering from Canada, 278
were from Quebec; 978 from Ontario,. 455
from Manitoba; 395 from 'British Colum-
bia; 358 from Alberta; 231 from Saskat-
chewan and the balance from the Mari-
time provinces.
There are several reasons for the grow-
ing popularity, of Jasper Park Lodge, ac-
cording to A, S, McLean, General
Superintendent of Canadian Natiortal
Hotels, The building of additional high.
ways and trails in the park, making the
distant beauty spots mote accessible to
visitors, the construction of chalets at
such beauty spots as Medicine and Mali-
gue Lakes and the spreading fettle of
Canada's finest scenic golf course being
among them. At Medicine and Malignd
Lakes -the latter the largest glacial lake
in the Canadian Rockies, chalets hate
been built for the convenience of trail
riding parties and trails have berm 181-
1)00100 80 that the journey of 81111 3' miles
throegli the mountains is delightful and
without hardship.
There is Also the fact that during the
past season the area of the ark has-been
extended to 5000 square miles last taking
in the magnificent Columbia ice6elds
section, one of the finest big game terri-
tories In the Rockies and comprising tile
largest icefield in Canada,
At the conclusion of their convention
