some other litter that can be worked

such as in the vicinity of Chehalis,
the rows should be from six to eight

good results, the plants in the row
being from three to four feet apart.

satisfactory rhubarb. The Linneaus
is another very good one, and is one OF
the standards of rhubarb growing.
Probably the most improved, while
not necessarily the best, is the Grim

by Luther Burbank, which sells at a
little higher than the common rhu-

HOW TO HEEL TREES

Omak: 81 lost about $500 worth of
trees that we're heeled in last winter,
and l would like to know how to heel
them in properly so that another
severe winter will not freeze them.
"Can you recommend a good wash
or p1 otector that can be used as a
preventive for the borers, rabbits, etc?
OF. II. K. +"
"In heeling in trees, we would open
the punches, dig trenches a foot to
eighteen inches in depth, and cover
the stems from fifteen inches to two
feet higher than they were growing in
the nursery. We usually slope the
trees at an angle of about As degrees,
and if there is no danger of mice or
rats injuring them. mulch them with
leaves OF straw and manure.
"Io prevent rabbits from gnawing
your trees, coat them with a good,
thick white wash, to which has been
added from two to three pounds CT
flowers of sulphur for each ten gal
Ions. adding also about a quart of
crude carbolic acid. Apply this to
the trunks of the trees as far up as
the rabbits can reach. This will
stick and prevents them from doing
any harm, and will not injure the
trees.

THROWN OUT OF AUTO IN STAMFORD AVENUE
 WOMEN NOT KNOWN

An automobile running through this citv frono New York to New Haven and driven by F. B. Preston, son of the Superintendent of Organized Char ities in New Haven found it's way into telegraph pole on Stratford Avenue near Seaview last night. The acci- dent came so suddenly that three of the four occupants of the car were thrown out upon the sidewalk and badly shaken up. J. W. Hickey and two New York women who refused to give their names were the unlucky riders. They were not hurt seriously and were able to board a train for New Haven few hours later MT. Preston said that he and MT. Hickey were in New York together and were going home with the automobile which belongs in New Haven when some thing went wrong with the steering gear and he was unable to avoid the pole. Witnesses of the accident said that Mir. Preston was going too fast and did not notice the bend in the road in time to avoid the collision. A pass- ing auto lowed the disabled car to New Haven.

COALITION FORMED
 AGAINST AUSTRIA
Russia, France and England Reach Agree.
 ment Upon Balkans Questions.
Especial from United Press.)

tSpeclal rom Unlted PreSS.)
 St. Petersburg Jan. S.-Telegraphic exchanges between Russia, France and England are believed to have taken place to-day which mutually pledge the countries to resolute stand against Austrias attitude. Russian diplomats and military experts are openly predicting that as a result of the developments of the last few days there will be more or less general war fare in the Balkans as soon as the weather conditions are favorable
 By many the present crisis is regard ed the gravest since the beginning of the Balkan dispute. Austria's mani festations of unfriendliness against Italy in the dark hour of her national calamity have particularly incensed Russia, England and France. The semi-of1cial press of Austria has gone so far as to urge an attack against Italy at the present time.
 Austria's complaint against Italy is based wholly on the latter's refusal to openly support her in every phase of the Balkan dispute. England has grievance against Austria in the con- tinued attacks on the Queen.'' It is recognized by all that Austria can nev- CT preserve peace. Her apparent de- sire for war has aroused the bitterness of nearly every European country.

Mime. Gsoffrin's Husband.

Mme. Geoffrin, like most FrenchwO- men, had the gift of making phrases. When Kulhiere had read in her salon a work upon Russia, which she feared might involve him in difficulties, she offered him a sum of money to burn it. The author Waxed wroth at the in- situation implied and broke out into an eloquent assertion of. his courage and Independence. She listened pa- tiently and then in quiet tone of voice said, How much more do you want, M Rulhiere?" She married at the age of fourteen M. Geonrin, a wealthy glass manufacturer and lieu tenant colonel of the national guard. His duty as husband seems to have been to provide the funds for her so- cial campaigns and to watch over the details of the menage. It is related of him that some person gave him his tory to read and when he asked for the successive volumes regularly palmcd off upon him the first, as if it were new. At last he was heard to say that he thought the author ''re- peated himself little" A book print ed in double columns he read straight across the page, renarking that ''it seemed to be very good, but was rath- CT abstract" One day visitor in- quired after the silent, white haired old gentleman who was in the habit of sitting at the head of the table.
