. American bee journal. Bee culture; Bees. 426 AMERICAN BEE lOUPNAL. July 4, 1901. ^ ^^ The Home Circle. ^ ^ Conducted bii Prof. ft. J. Cook, Claremont, Calif. THE TRUE HOME THE CORNER=sfoNE. I need not say in these " Home Circle " papers—I need not say anywhere, for it surely goes in all our blessed country without saying—that the true home is the very corner-stone in every true society.
