To show how determined she can be
when she has to overcome opposition
Mrs. Andrew cited her automobile trip
around the world, which she took pri-
marily because she had been told that
no woman could do such a thing. She
drove her own car. When she returned
she wrote a book about the trip which
is now in its second edition. Honk

with her, Notwithstanding the many

Japan she was the guest of the En-

The only time Mrs. Fisher, who, 1t
may be mentioned incidentally. is the
only woman who has made anvils for
| battleships, has time for rest is during
the three months she spends at villa
| Carlotta, her home on Lake Como, Italy
With her second husband. who Is a
lieutenant in the Argentine navy, she
makes annual visits To this old villa
| which had not changed hands in two
hundred years until she bought 1t. The
place is noted for its beautiful gardens
where an old gardener. the grandson o
the man who originally planted them
reigns supreme. His love for the
flowers and gorgeous shrubhery Is in

Mrs. Andrew believes that many of

CLOVER LEAF WEEVIL
A New Pest Bobs Up to Prey on Farm
Products

T. H. Parks, government agricul-
tural agent, and Prof. Ireland, were
in this section this week, investigat-
ing new farm pest, known as the
Clover Leaf Weevil, which is injuring
clover and alfalfa fields.
While the insect in new to this sec
ton, it is common in the East. 1t is
a small green caterpillar and was
first discovered here last year. On
John Yeck's farm, the weevil has ruin
ed small patch of clover, 161 being
found on one crown about three inches
in diameter. The pest gets in its
work up till June, when the caterpil-
lar becomes a small black beetle,
which deposits eggs for next years
Matching.
There is only one remedy so far
known, and that is to plow under the
clover in the fall That is what Mr..
Yeck is doing. Manv of the clover
fields are infested. Those finding the
weevil in their fields are requested to
notify MIR. Ireland.
In the East, the weevil is infected
with disease, which keeps them from
becoming dangerous, but MIR. Parks
says that owing to our dry climate
the infection will not spread here.

lii day of his terrible experience was
chopping wood, when man whom the
boy describes as "big man with a
black mustache and a foreigner"
seized him from behind, dragged him
into the cabin and tied him to the post
that supports the roof. He was gagged
with towel folded across his mouth
and with handkerchief across his
nose so that he could hardly breathe.
The rescuing party was searching
for an escaped convict. They were
attracted to the cabin where the boy
was found by means and groans and
lost no time in releasing the young
man. The robber carried off Fuller's

to the sum of money, which he had
earned by working on the Canyon
canal.
The robber has not been apprehend-

Corn, Hogs and Cows-winners.

Nj. NJ Selby, representing the Salt

local agent in this city yesterday. Mr..
Seelby stated to an Index represent
ative that he was much surprised at
the demand for corn planters and
cultivators in this part of the state
this season and being shown the quail
ity of the corn grown here the past
season, stated that this valley owed
an apology for not being in better
shape if we could grow corn of the
quality shown him.
He expressed the opinion that we
were going through the same stage
farmers in the Middle West were 15
or 20 years ago, but corn, hogs and
dairy cows pulled them out of the
hole and they would do the same
thing here.
