Crawford, the Liberal nominee, and
appeared to have only a vdry, slight
chance of success. Nevertheless, he
was elected,. and from that day to
this his 'career has been .a succession
4of difficult tasks. mastered.
It is- related by- Mr. Meighen's
neighbors that he is,‘ extremely ab-
sent-minded, the result of becoming
so completely absorbed in a train of
thought that he is unconscious of
externals. In the early days of his
residence in Portage, Mr. Meighen'
shared bachelor quaAers with Col.
C.- D. McPherson, now .member of
the Manitoba Legislature - for' Lake-
side, and Captain F. B. Bagshaw, a
Regina latiryer. Before dawn - one
morning he arose to catch • the five
o'clock train forWi‘
nipeg, where he
was going to be bes man at a wed-
ding. Late in the fternooe when
he was half waif home- he happened
,to glaece at his trouser ts and discov-
ered that be had figured at the wed-
ding in highly inappropriate garb.
Not only did the trousers fail by
many , shades to n,iatch his coat, but
they were not his own trousers at
all, but the property of Mr, McPher-
eonn. Noe had he chosen his room
mate 'fi best pair, but instead had
donned. trousers that Mr. McPherson
commonly wore when working round
the press in the office of the Daily
Graphic, with which he was then
connected. .. However, the marriage
did not tern out any the less hap-
pily on that account.
It is reported that frequently Mrs.
Meighen has to ring her husband up
at his office to inquire why he hasn't
come, home for lunch, and that his
usual answer is "What! Haven't I
been home yet?" Mr. Adam Daum,
a next door neighbor of Mr.
Meighen's who used to accompany
him when he drove to make political
speeches, says that frequently they
would drive fora twenty miles and
not exchange a word, which is no
mean tribute to Mr. Daum's own
qualities as, a travelling companion.
Mr. Daum also 'deposeth that on one
occasion when Mr. and Mrs. Meighen
went out In the evening to attend a
wedding, they left their little boy
Teddy in charg€ of the Daum. Mr.
Meighen, who is not greatly excited
about social events left the party
before the close of the exercises
saying that he would -call for Teddy.
When Mrs. Meighen arrived home
some houts later she found her hus-
band sound asleep but there was
no sign of the boy. It was discover-
ed later that Mr. Meighen had for-
gotten all about him and as the say-
ing is "it happens ,in the best reg-
ulated, of families." '
Mayor Metcalfe, another old friend
of Mr. Meighen's, reports ' that when
the young lawyer first announced
his intention of entering politics
rs. Metcalfe predicted that he -would
become Minister of Justice, if not
Prime Minister. Mr. Meighen's first
Western experience really began in
Winnipeg, in 1898, where for a while
after this arrival he taught bookkeep-
ing in the Winnipeg Business College.
He was, a master of his subject, and'
it is saithat when it was his duty to
instruct in mathematics his knowledge
of the science was profound. He
graduated with honors in mathematics
at the University of Toronto two
years earlier.. It might also be re- .
marked that -Sir Thomas White is a
sound mathematician, which with his
strong literary bent makes rather an
unusual combination. Occasionally
Mr. Meighen would be called upon to
double in brass to the extent of teach-
ing caligraphy, a subject in which he
did not greatly excel, but by the use
of good headwork he was able to
b"gitleitotnibsy.tnOot enter public life seized
clear just when the am-
jr. Meighen for the first time, but
when it did he left nothing undone
to qualify for it. He had his room
filled with volumes of modern ora-
tions, and devoted his spare time to
declaiming from them and in study-
ing the careers of famous men. His
interest in sport was never particu-
• larly strong, but itis related that at
one time he was la member of an
amateur baseball team,- called the
McKenzie Colts. He was a pitcher,
but distinctly inferior to Walter
Johnson and- one or two others who
might be named. Once he was play-
ing in right field,' but became im-
mersed in thought to such an extent
that wheni the opposing Babe Ruth
lammed one' over his head he forgot
to follow the' ball, and continued
to cogiate. Shortly afterwards he-
ws waived out of the league. His
home and politics are the two main
interest in Mr. Meighen's life, and -
his / chief recreation is taking his
family for an occasional drive in the
evening.
colonies such as light swarms which
may have yoimi queens. At peesent
prices of 'honey aid sugar it does not
pay to attempt to winter any but the
best colonies as swarms, Of bees can
r
be purchased from the , Southern
States to arrive in May and give as
good a crop of honey as an average
colony wintered over. ,
After supers have been removed in
September each colony,ahould be fed

to 36 or 40 pounds. This feeding may
be done about the first of October.
Hives may be placed in boxes for
outdoor wintering before or after
feeding at the convenience of the bee-
keeper, but winter packing should be
applied before settled cold weather.
For cellar wintering, hives should' be
Placed in the cellar at freezing up

operation if possible a cold day im-
mediately following a spell of warm
weather. When properly prepared
accordThg to some method sifnilar to
those descelbed in Bulletin 256 on
"The Wintering of Bees in Ontario,"
outdoor wintered bees require no at-
tention from the tithe the feeding and
packing is completed until the fol-
lowing April. The bee -cellar should
be watched for the regulation of
temperature and ventilation when
changes of weather occur.
The successful wintering of bees
depends on having good colonies of
young bees, young queens, plenty of
good stores, hives warmly packed and
ample protection from cold winds.
On the first warm days of April
colonies should be removed from cel-
lars and all should be examined to -
detect queenless ones or those short
of stores. The former should be unit-
ed with "those having queens and the
latter given extra feed. It would- not
be wise to make a thorough exam-
ination for disease until the weather
is warmer than it usually is in April.
Early in May when favorable
weather arrives . queens should be
clipped and the matter of stores giv-
en attention. At queen -clipping 'time
the brood should' be inspected pare -
fully for infectious diseases as de-
scribed in Bulletin 213,' e"'Bee •Dis-
eases in Ontario."
The supering . of _strong colonies
will begin during etaeit blobm and
outdoor wintered be may be un-
packed soon afte'r. In a backward
spring the unpacking may be left un-
til early in June. The beekeeper's
main duty in May is to get queens
clipped as stated and see that each
colony develops properly or, is given
room to check swarming impulse as
the case may be. - ,
June is the swarming month and
time of supering for the main honey
flow which begins betvfeen the leth
and 20th of the month, depending on
the season and the latitude. Be sure
to give .supers enough to avoid any
crowding, which`em.ay cause the bees
to become discouraged, quit work
and swarm expessively. It should be
the beekeepef'saim to prevent swarm-
ing as much as possible. This is done
by keeping young queens, giving
plenty of room , and a sestentatte .
examination of brood -chambers to
detect colonies which are preparing
to swarm. When qu,een cells -are
found far advanced they should all be'
destroyed and the queen herself re-
moved. After the colony has ' been
queenless one week the combs should
again be examined and all cells -ex-
cept one removed. This one Will pro-
vide them with a queen and if only
one is left they will not swarm again.
Where an improvement of stock is
desired the new queen may be given
instedd of leaving one queen cell.
Natural swarms should be hived
on the old stand after removing the
parent colony to one side. The
swarms should be given the supers
from t o old colony. New swarms

have o brood to care for during the
first week. Colonies held together
without swarming gather more
honey than those. which swarm. They
also cause the beekeeper less trouble
at unexpected times. It is 'the bee-
keepers' patriotic duty to reduce the
cost ok honey productthn and thus in-
crease the quantity lie is called to
produce as greatly as possible. This
may be done more by swarm preven-
tion than in any other way. Bulletin
233 takes this matter up -thoroughly
and should be carefully studied by
all beekeepers. '`e"
Most of our best honey is gathered
during late June and early July.
None of this should be extracted until
near the end of July when the, bees
are nearly through gathering light
honey. It might be necessary to give
each colony from two to four ex-
tracting supers to avoid early ex-
tracting. By doingthis we get a much
better ripened honey which com-
mands a better price and maintains
much greater public- confidence in
honey as a staple food.
Colonies which have not been re*
queened by natural swarming or by
swarm control methods in June or
July should -be attended to in August
as best results are usually obtained
from queens not morNhan one year

during the war—were Canadian railways.
Canada alone among the allied countries had no
war -time' transportation crisis. When foreign roads
choked under their load, she, relieved them of millions
of tons. At a time when ships were the need of the
hour no ship lost time in any Canadian port through
failuse of the' railways to deliver cargoes at the docks.
To -day the Canadian producer still commands the
fastest, the most dependable and the cheapest railway
service in the world.
But the foresight that made this record possible
s=. could do nothing without MONEY! The skill that
kept terminals uncongested had to be backed with
MONEY! The determination that drove crippled en-
gines ahead in the face of 40 -below gales and mounting
snow would in the long run have been useless without
MONEY! I
Al-
Thus to -day the alarming fall in the net
revenues of the railways is a menace to
railway efficiency. It injures...railway credit.
It dissolves the, reserves needful to meet the
expapcling needs of a growing country. It
imperils national prosperity. ---,-
Increased freight rates areimperative there-
fore, not -merely on behalf of railways but in
the interests of Canada itself!

Government of Canada
meantime allowed frei gh t

make up the cost ef these
new wage rates.
Leaving aside all question
of increased cost of material,
the new wages cost the rail -
"Ways of Canada an extra
eighty million d011aes.for the
first year alone.
The new rates yielded them
an additional forty-three
