BEES GO ON SPOEE
NEW KIND OF STILL
SYNTH I AN A, Ky , Aug. 23. (/P)—
John Smith of Danville is wondering
w’hether his bees are liable for indict
ment under federal prohibition laws.
The fancier noticed a peculiar con
dition in one of his hives. The bees
appeared in a semi-dormant state, and
at the same time a fragrant odor was
discernable near their quarters.
Opening the top of the hive, he
found a section of the honey-comb
h.ad not been sealed by the bees and
water had dripped into the honey.
Summer heat served to ferment the
mixture, which Mr. Smith said more
nearly approached the strength of dis
tilled spirits than that of fermented
wine.

WASHINGTON, Aug. 23. (/P)—A
i jackrabbit is nothing if not broad- !
minded concerning his diet. He pri- j
zes a nice, green wheat field, but six
or seven of his kind will consume as j
much froage daily as one sheep.
Prairie dogs, friend and confidante ;
of the jackrabbit, destroy 50 to 85 per
cent of the more palatable grasses in
serious competition to domestic live
stock. They will mow down young J
wheat as definitely as a scythe.
