NEW YORK, Aug. fisherman de-
feats are becoming a little too mo-
notonous to be real, and it is well to
bear in mind that Germanys isola-
tion as a news centre continues.
The fighting to the west of the
Mouse, between Diest and Eghezee,
in no sense is made up of battles.
No battle in the modern military
meaning of the word has yet been
foughe Germany is trying to dis
cover the distribution and weakness
of the allies across the Mouse, and
the affair, in being repeated, is no
more than merely commissioners in
force, as has been pointed out in this
column.
The reports issued by the allies that
their own positions remain intact
and that the German advance was
checked. are true technically, but
they can be easily misunderstood.
The allies probably have several hum
dred thousand men In Belgium. That
the disposition of these troops could
be forcibly altered by 5000 or 10000
German skirmishers is palpably abb
surd; while the retreat of the Ger
mans is not a victory of the allies

have learned nothing. The very ne
eessity for retreating may give the
German general staff exactly the in
formation it desires.
The important act to bear in mind
is that Germany wants to select her
own battlefield if she advances across
the Mouse, and where that battlefield
will be depends largely on the de
feats' now being administered to the
kaiser's skirmishers.

patches from Brussels that the allies

Benches for Milford Park

A request was made TO the Shade
Tree Commission yesterday to have
a flagpole and benches placed in Mil
ford Park, located at Elizabeth ave-
nue., Bigelow street and Milford ave-
nue.. John P. S. Lower, of 154 Eliza
beth avenue, appeared for a number
of citizens in the neighborhood of
the park. Mr.. Lower declared that
many persons pass the park daily and
should be accommodated with bench
es. He argued that flagpole should
be placed there for civic pride.
He said that he was veteran of
the Civil War and had been asked
by his neighbors to make this re-
quest of the commissioners. He was
told that six benches had been or
dered placed in the park and that the
commissioners would take under con-
sideration the erection of flag pole
there.

Delightful Bathing the Year Round.

Few people realize that right here
in Utah, we have one of the most won
derful bathing pools in the world But
those who are acquainted with these
splendid baths will testify that the
Sanitarium Baths, 50 West Third
South, Salt Lake City, rank second
to none, either in the delightful op-
portunity for comfortable swim at
any. season of the year, or the highly
beneficial properties of the natural
hot sulphur water.
| Not only is bathing a pleasure un-
der these conditions, but many people
who have been grievously troubled
with rheumatism or nervous disorders
have actually experienced full recov-
cry from system of bathing at the
Sanitarium.
The Sanitarium Baths invite you to
come and bring your family and enjoy
swim in this wonderful water The
pools are emptied and cleaned twice
every week and lady and gentlemen
attendants as well as instructors make
| it desirable place for you to bring
your family, for catering to the bet
ter element is the secret of the
highly desirable patronage enjoyed by
the Sanitarium Baths.
In connection with the large swim
ming pools, are conducted very fine
Turkish Baths. Tub baths and pri-
vate plunges are also an attraction
to many, all going to produce bath
ing resort equalled by few and sur
passed by none.
It's just another of Utah's natural
wonders developed for the bettermenr
of mankind. Adv.

: Orchard
Inflammation
TO FERTlLIzE THE ORCHARD
Straw, cornstalks, ETC., Should Be
Placed Around Trees.

Here again, during the fall is the
ideal time in which to fertilize the
orchard. as goodly portion of the
fertility elements will have penetrated
down TO the roots of the trees before
the ground freezes up, and the work of
rejuvenation will have been well be-
gun when the spring opens up and the
ground thaws out.
Where the orchard is young, it will,
Of course. have to be plowed after
giving it good coat of rich stable
manure, straw, cornstaIks, etc If
the orchard is of size not to require
cultivation, generous heap of the
aforementioned fertilizers should be
hauled and piled up around the base
of each tree.
This is more productive of good re-
suits the following season than where
the orchard is fortified during the
spring months, as it will have plenty
of time in which to be instrumental
in developing a larger crop of finer
quality fruit.-E. " B.

The department of agriculture an

Feterita has awakened much interest
as desirable type Of white durra.
Both faterita and dwarf kafir are
adapted to harvesting with the ordi-
nary grain header, which add greatly
to the value as crops for extensive
farming.
The department has taken a promi.

waged for the planting Of pure and

with dwarf broom corn tend to prove
that this crop is usually sown toe

TO RENEW STRAWBERRY BEDS
After Weeds and Leaves Are Cut Out
Go Over Bed With cuItIvator and
Thoroughly Tear 1t Up.

The first thing to do is to run a
mower over the bed. cutting all the
leaves and weeds as closely as pos
sible, and then burn. After this diff
ferent methods are followed, some go
into the bed with a cultivator and
thoroughly tear it up. finally leaving
the bed in rows as 1t was originally.
and cultivating out all vines between.
Others use pillow and pillow between
the rows leaving each row about a
foot in width, and thinning out the
plants in the row with hoe. The
cultivator seems more satisfactory as
a rule. In burning the bed, wait until
the tops and weeds are thoroughly
dry, 30 they will burn quickly, other
wise the crowns of the plants are like
ly to be damaged.
If only new plants are desired, pillow
out the old after runners have set and
cultivate. The advantage Of this is
that the plants will all be from the
earliest, strongest runners.
