that he paid But the deadhead feels suspicion that
because the has been given him it is not of

When he returned to the group at
the fireplace, half an hour later, she
was sitting with the others, her back
toward him as he approached. He
was at once presented.
Miss Grand looked up into his face
with cool, Indifferent eyes.

Both kindly and gentle she said.
Later on. at the foot of the stairs.
she came up with him. Without the
slightest trace of embarrassment she
remarked:
Il think you knew my father, Mr..
Jenison."
He flushed in some confusion.

OUT WEEV|L
Parasites From Italy Imported in the

Alfalfa Pest

Warfare against the alfalfa weevil
is being planned by the United States
bureau Of entomology and supplies
have been forwarded to Salt Lake City
and carefully stored away by George
|. Reeves. who represents the bureau
there. The war supplies consist of
six boxes, weighing about one hundreu
pounds each and filed with green al.
falfa stems, inside which are eggs OF
a parasite that is said to have h taste
partial to the alfalfa weevil. AS fast
as the boxes have arrived they have
been placed in cold storars where
they will be kept for while.
Within a few weeks The 'ges viii
be brought to the light and examined.
IL they are of the right variety which
has gained a reputation in Italy from
where the shipments were received,
they will be cared for until the para.
sites reach maturity. Then they
will be placed in field Of alfalfa
near Murray where 1t Is hoped they
will form a co.ony and live. There is
no doubt Of their ability to digest wee.
VII eggs satisfactorily, but other thing

The visitors are natives of Italy,
where the climate is warm and moist,
and there is grave doubt as to whe.
ther they will withstand the winter
and hot dry sumer here. II they do
not live through the winter their an.
petite for weevil eggs, upon which
they subsist in Italy will be of little

If they do withstand the climate her,
it will mean the eradication OF the al.
