TILE PLANT BURNED -Another five
here early Saturday morning at the
J. 0. Hay & Son tile Elaut, did. dam-
age estimated at 85,000, It is thought
to be of incendiary origin, as many
other fires have beet recently in thin
district. The loss was half covered by
insurance. Alnuday morning the
Council held a special session, and
took steps to find the guilty persona,
if any, ennttect'd with the burning.
The flee Is the third 0110 iu the Mat
week, and all are generally believed to
have been the work of firebugs, but
in none of the oases Is there any clne
as to the way the buildings were lined,
or who is gtiilly. The office of the
Hay plant was desLl'n ed by fire in
Meech, The new office was saved
Saturday morning. The plant will
be rebuilt irrunediately.

swarming, etc.., eta. Prominent local
beekeepers will be asked to tape part
and assist in the discussion of
pra0lieal questions. These apitu'y

while to attend one. Ladies are es-
pecially invited, and all are advised
to bring bee veils so they can cone
