Beehives In Llthusnls are not the comfortable round igloolike huts that are commonly used in America. They ere built very much like the Lithu? anian home, with slanting gable and quaint doorway. The cottages which they build are considerably larger than the round American hives. Double walls are built no that a protective warmth may bo kept In the hives and prevent the boos from freezing during the ex? treme cold of the long winters. Pine wood is always used because It Is sup posed to be a greater protection against cold and because It Is the most common tree in the forest lands of the coon try. It Is In the coloring of the hives that the Lithuanian asserts his Individual? ity. The life of the Lithuanian has been starved of liberty and self-asser? tion during centuries. Be has been oppressed by Germans and he has boon oppressed by Russians?not only his art and his literature but even his language has been suppressed. During the years of oppression one of the chief amusements and art me? diums was the pointing of hives. The highest degree of artistic beauty was often realized. Color combinations of originality and richness were strived for. And It Is notable that a bee farmer tried as many different schemes gg possible, so as to differentiate the hives from one another.

There is one flower that contains within itself so complete a compendium of the story of the cross that It is fit? tingly called by the name of passion flower. U blossomed about Holy Rood dsy. The thread-like colored stamens, which surround the flower? like rays, and some other portions of Its delicately constructed blossom, at? tracted the notice of the Spstdards in their conquest of America. The dif? ferent parts of the blossoms figured to their enthusiastic lmsginatlons the numbers of the apostles, the "?y? of glory, the nails, the hammer, the sponge, the cup, und all the ssd signs of the Savior's passion, hence they called It the passion flower.

General Insurance .Arguments We YOU, the buyers, are the real builders of wagons. You put the final Okay upon the use of certain materials and con? tinuation when you buy a wagon containing them?and refuse to buy a wagon that does not. We want to show you how the Tho'fnhill Wagon is built. Upon a plain statement of facts wa are willing to rest our case. We behave the Thornhill way would hi your way if you should build a wagon. THORN Full Circle Iron Medicable Front Houn Plat? si Our Case For spokes and axles tough second growth highland hickory it used For hubs and felloes the sturdy white oak is preferred. This wood grows upon the mountain side. The ground is hard? the climate severe. It has to fight for life. It has nearly twice the strength of oak and hickory that grows under softer conditions., Outdoors under shelter it remains for three to five years. -The sap dries in it, giving it a strength that's kin to steel. Trussed Bolsters and Gears Rener? Pfote of Moli cable Iron Ulete**?sin*t uns In Turning In turning and backing up, with the ordi? nary circle iron, which is only a half circle, bolsters run off the end of the trick and 'tang. It is difficult to make short turns and back up. The Thornhill full circle iron ?uves a continuous track on which the bol? sters can turn. The gears of Thornhill wagons stay In line for life. Im tcid of the usual front hound plate, a hound plate of malleable it on is used. It is a metal jacket braced at eight points that keeps I ear:* from ever getting out of hue. Long Wear Beds Not? the Adjustable Brak? Lever On the front bolsters of ThomhiH wagons are heavy iron plates running along top and bottom?'Connected by rivets that run dear through the bolster. Strength and lightness are combined. Rear gears are strongly ironed. There are biaess on both tup and bottom that extend the full length of the hounds. Solid trust liars extend the full length of the axles giving them double sucngih. If you examine the beds of Thornhill Wagons closely you will s?e at once the fuperiority of the constriction.
