The Duily Mdil adds that the decision
to convene the conference followed nego-
tlatiors which were carried out at the
suggestion of the King during the week

The Morning Post prints a less precise
statement to the effect that such con-
ference is probable AS result OF the
Kings exertions TO obtain an agreement
on the home rule question.
The keen desire of the King 10 obtain
a settlement of the Irish question Is well

Fighting In Galicia.
Very serious battles are also pro-
ceeding in southern Poland and in
Galicia, without decisive result. The
Russians, however, have crossed the
Vistula, north of Ivangorod, with
their fresh army corps, which should
have a marked effect on the fortunes
of the battle. They appear from their
own accounts, to be breaking down the
resistance of the Austrians sohth of
Przemysf and throughout Galicia,
where fighting of the most stubborn
character has been going on for
weeks.
Another rebellion has broken out
in South Africa this time headed
by General Christian De Wet and
General Byers. Neither of these men
have any following, but it is feared
that some of the burgeois, who, like
themselves, retain some of the bitter
ness aroused by the South African
war, will join them.
The defense force, as the army of
the Union of South Africa is called,
is considered safe for the govern
ment, for when General Byers gave
up his command of that force on the
outbreak of the war, none of the o.
ificers or men of the army followed
him. Besides. General Botha, the
premier. retains his support of the

The Germans made a grave error,
1t is asserted, in not pursuing the
advantage derived from their unex-
pected advance, which would have
enabled them to approach within
eight miles of Warsaw, without their
presence being made known
For unknown reasons the Germans
suddenly decided to delay the attack
until morning, which allowed the
Siberian and other Russian reinforce
ments to protect the city adequately.
Papers found in the possession Of
German officers indicate that the
general plan was to attack Warsaw
that night. One explanation for the
change in the plan is that the Ger
mans failed to obtain the assistance
of the Polish element, upon which
they had counted.

GERMANS PAY HIGH COST.
FOR CROSSING OF USER,

London, England.-Shotd down by
the hundred, drowned in platoons,
bayonetted by the score, the Ger
mans suffered the greatest slaughter
of the war In crossing the User river,
according to the correspondent of the
Daily Mail. With orders from the
general staff to get over all costs, the
kaisers devoted troops literally filled
the stream with their bodies before
they succeeded in crossing Last
Friday night seven separate attacks
were repulsed by the allies. The cor
respondent says:
THE crossing of the User estab-
ished a new bloodshed record for the
war. In one night, Friday, between
midnight and dawn, seven attempts
were frustrated by terrific machine
gun and rifle fire, but the Germans
burst across. There was no stop

KILL THE GOPHERS

One of the greatest pests to farmers
and gardeners of the Pacific Northwest
is the gopher. These animals not
only keep the lawn in billy and un-
slightly condition but in corn coun-
tries cause an immense loss. The
Fort Dodge Chemical Company, OF
Fort Dodge, Iowa, whose advertise
ment appears in this issue, have per-
fected a poison which they call
"Raticide Tablets and which they
sell for 25 cents a box. This can be
obtained from drug stores or by send
ing directly to the house. They fur
nish thousands of testim onials to
show where they have rid lawns and
fields of these rodents at very small
cost They also make preparation
especially for pocket gophers, prairie
dogs and ground squirrels which is
put up in cans and sells for 81. 20.
This is a remarkable cheap and effec-
tive preparation. For moles they
have special preparation which sells
for Is cents. Anyone troubled with
gophers or ground moles can we'll
afford to spend this amount of money
to get rid of them.

MANAGING THE MOISTURE.

Too much or too little moisture in
the egg chamber may be readily de-
termined by studying the air cell in
the large end of the egg. A fresh egg
should have an air cell which is about
one tenth of an inch from the end of
the egg An egg incubated for 10
days with proper amount OF mois-
ture will have the air cell little
more than two -tenths of an inch from
the end. Onea8ncubated IA days un-
der proper moisture conditions will
have the air cell about four tenths of
an inch from the end. On the
eighteenth day the air cell is about
one half an inch from the end of the
egg. IT the air cell is too large upon
any of these days when the eggs are
tested, water should be added. If
the cell is too small it is a sign that
too much moisture is present.
