London-While d~eprecating the
exaggerated reports of Russian sue
cesses in the battle in Northern Po-
land, where the German emperor has
Joined Field Marshal Won Hindenberg
to offer his advice and to encourage
his troops, the latest available Of
fetal reports from Russian headquar-
tiers state that the advantage in the
fighting still lies with the Russian
army.
1t is also officially said that enor-
nous losses have been inflicted on
the Germans, but no mention is made
of the capture of German divisions,
which has been so freely reported by
the P%etrograd correspondents of
London and Paris papers.
Opposed to this is the German Of
icial report, which says that the Rus
sian attacks have been repulsed and
that the German counter attacks have
been successful.
In the battle before Cracow the
Russians claim success During the
last week they took 10000 Austrian
and German prisoners in this region.
This victory is taken in P~etrograd to
mean that Cracow will not bar the
Russian advance in Silesia from the
south, but that, with the Austrian ar
my beaten, 1t will be necessary only
to mask the fortress.
The Russians likewise announce
success on the Austrian side of the
Carpathians against the Turks. al
though in both regions the worst of
weather has prevailed.

HOW To Be COntented

Move to the city if you are farmer
and move to the country if you are
a city man.
Take dollar watch apart and try
to put it together again without leav-
ing out four or five wheels.
Put on a red necktie and have
every galoot in town ask you if you
have got the nosebleed.
Don't try to get something for
nothing. About the only thing you
can get for nothing is the smallpox.
Find your pleasure in your work
and always be sure to have somebody
else do it for you.
Start your son to taking lessons on
the slide trombone and let your
daughter visit a vocal teacher regu-
larly.
Start the Spring garden yourself
and let your wife finish it.

CAN ExTERMINATE THE
ALFALFA WEEv|L

The small insect known as the alfal.
ia weevil, which has caused SO flnct
damage to alfalfa and other crops in
Utah and other States, and whose
depredations brought about quar-
antine on Utah agricultural products
and produce by other States last year
will be entirely stamped out this
year if a machine just invented
proves as efficient as Government
officials who have seen it believe il
will be. The machine is simple one
and can be manufactured and used
at small cost, but it is believed that
it will kill the alfalfa weevil on an
entire field by being used once.
The instrument can be manufac.
tured for about 81. 1t consists of
20-foot iron pipe with 21 small
holes bored in the top at certain in
tervals along its entire length. II
will be placed on the rear end of q
wagon carrying gasoline engine,
pump and tank containing arsenical
poisoning. AS the wagon is driven
over the field the pump will force
the poison. from the tank into the pipe
and it will spray from the small holes
over the field, covering a swath of
20 feet or more at a time and effec-
lively killing the weevils.
The machine will not be patented,
but if the results obtained by expert
ments prove satisfactory the Depart
ment of Agriculture will publish d.
rections and plans for its manufac-
ture and use and farmers will be ad-
vised to utilize it to rid their fields
of the weevil. 1t will also mean
dollars and cents to all producers of
the State, as the quarantines placed
against Utah agricultural products
resulted last year in heavy loss.
Heretofore the only method of
fighting the weevil was the introduc-
tion of foreign parasites. 1t was said
that these parasites would in time
destroy the weevil. So far, however,
no real results have been secured from
their introduction. and it would be a
matter of several years before the
weevils were all killed even if the
parasites proved efficient, and the
new machine will undoubtedly be
heartily welcomed by the farmers
of the State.
