WHEN THE BABY CAME

There was a couple who had
two children, boy of IA and a
girl of IL. About that time of
life another baby came along.
With that prudishness so COM
monty found, the parents took
the greatest pains that the chill
dren should not know anything
about the condition of their
mother or the impending event,
and when the time approached
the girl was sent on vacation to
some relatives in another city.
At last the great event took place,
and the father came and said to
the boy: Johnny, you have a
new baby brother" The boy
said nothing. The father sat
down at his desk and in a few
minutes handed the boy a tele-
gram. Take that to the tele-
graph Office" he said, "and send
it to sister. Here is dollar to
pay the charges" The boy came
back after a while and handed his
father the change. "What," said
the father, "that telegram cost
more than 35 cents, didn't it ?"
"Oh, yes" the boy. replied. "the
one you wrote would have cost
more. I sent one of my own. "
"You did," the father said, "and
what did you say?" "Oh," the
boy replied. II just wired sister:
4 win, it's a boy. San Fran
cisco Argonaut.

action the whole nation Will be

There is some talk of an early
peace, not so much on account OF
the success of the Teutons in the
east as the apparently inevitable
bankruptcy Of the powers engaged
in the struggle. There is no
likelihood of peace until either
the entente powers or the central
Allies are pounded to a pulp.
Great Britain has not exhausted
either cash or credit and can
carry on the war indefinitely. The
same is true of France. Russia
needs money with which to pur-
chase guns and ammunition, but
she has foodstuffs enough and to
spare. Peace talk is premature.
There is more chance of an in
crease in the number of nations
engaged in the struggle than
there is of any one of the belli-
gerents quitting and thus forcing
a draw and necessitating another
worldwide war in the future.
While the progress of the week
has been almost entirely Teu-
tonic, few observers really believe
that even the capture of Petro-
grad would end the conflict.

Try This

An eastern exchange says: Bore
a quarter-inch hole into the heart of
a fruit tree or any other kind of a
tree that is infected with insects and
fill the hole full of dry sulphur 5and
plug up the hole. 1t will cure the
blight, make the tree strong and
healthy and in no way injure, 1T. "
This is a valuable boon to fruit
growers. as the sulphur goes through
all parts of the tree, being absorbed
from the heart and makes a good
healthy color.

Canadian Thistle in Nevada

The farmers of the Carson valley
are becoming excited over the ap-
pearance of the arch-enemy of al.
falfa, the Canadian thistle. which
has made showing in that section.
Heretofore the only obnoxious weed
pest that the farmers have had tc
contend with was the common tickle
grass and foxtail. A concerted eff.
fort will be made to eradicate the
thistle, for once it gets start it il
extremely hard to get rid of.

continues unabated. The invad
ing armies have not paused for a
single day since the fall OF War
saw. Kovno and Novogeorgievsk
have been captured and the Lon
don military observers believe
the other Russian fortresses, such
as Brest-Litovsk, Grodno and
Ossewetz will be taken by assault
or given up. Field Marshal Won
Hindenburg's offensive move
ment, having for its object the
capture of Riga and the whole
Warsaw-Petrograd railway from
wilma northward, is being pushed
with great vigor. The German
fleet has penetrated the Gulf OF
Riga and the outlook is gloomy
for the Czar in that direction.
The Russian army, except for
the losses in killed and wounded,
ia practically intact, but the Ger
mans claim to have captured 700
guns and a large store OF war ma
terial at Novogeorgievsk. The
fall Of this fortress, as in the case
of the other Russian positions
recently captured, was entirely
due to the superiority of the
German and Austrian heavy ar
tillery. and so long as this advan-
tage is maintained the military
critics are not hopeful that the
Muscovites will be able to halt
the advance. Little is said re-
garding the killed and wounded,
but it is believed that as the Teu-
tons are pushing their campaign
without regard to consequences
both sides are suffering very
heavy losses.
Little progress has been made
on the Servian frontier, where il
was anticipated an attempt would
be made to force passage
through to Constantinople. AS a
movement of this kind would
probably have the affect of bring
ing the Balkan States into the
war, it may be that the drive in
this direction is being held mp
pending the result of the negoti-
ations now in progress between
the entente powers on the one
hand and Bulgaria, Servia and
Greece on the other. If the Bull
garians are assured of possession
of the territory they demand, they
will undoubtedly make vigorous
assault upon the Turks from the
west and aid the Allies in forcing
the Dardanelles. Close observ-
ers of the situation believe that
Rumania will follow if Bulgaria
leads the war.
So long as King Constantine
can prevent such action Greece
will not take up arms. The
Greek parliament met during the
week. A large majority of the
members favor war against Tur-
key and the central empires. M.
Venizelos, who gave up the pre-
miership some months ago, owing
to the opposition of the King to
his war policy, has been sum-
moDed to form a new cabinet, but
seems to have lost some of his
fire and enthusiasm. At any rate,
Greece will be the last of the Bal
kan States to take up arms in
case they all 60 in.
The Allies have landed rein
forcements on the Gallipoli pen
insula and have gained another
slight success, but the Turks have
also brought up additional forces
and the prOpress made toward

Progress of The War
From Sundays Salt Lake Tribune

Fifteen thousand Canadians have
been ordered to the peninsula and
it is expected other large bodies
Of troops will follow in short
order.
The Italians have been uni
formly successful in their attacks
upon the enemy and have ad-
vanced their lines in Austrian
territory, but no really great bat
tiles have been fought and the
progress made is insignificant
when compared with the task Of
taking the Italian provinces now
under the rule of Franz Josef.
There are many well-constructed
fortresses on their frontier, not
withstanding the fact that both
Austria-Hungary and Italy be-
longing to the triple alliance, and
they must be reduced by the use
Of big guns. The surrounding
country being mountainous, the
process is necessarily difficult, as
we'll as dangerous. Summing up,
the entrance of the Italians into
the struggle does not appear to
have aided the entente powers OF
injured the central empires to
any considerable extent. What
the ultimate effect will be cannot
be foretold.
The situation on the French
front is unchanged. Some artil.
terry duels are reported and now
and then trench is taken by one
side or the other. So far as the
facts are made known in the Off
cial reports; no great movement
is under way and none is contem-
plated in the near future. For
the best of reasons militarv com-
manders do not disclose their
plans. 1t is known that the
French army is in as good condi-
tion as it ever will be, and it is
also known that the British have
over 100000 men under arms.
Yet the deadlock on the west
front remains unbroken.
Another Zeppelin raid has been
made upon the outskirts of Lon
don and few innocent non-com-
batants either killed or injured
by bombs. The Germans no
longer pretend that their air at
tacks are directed solely against
fortified cities, naval bases and
the like. These attacks have nc
bearing upon the final outcome
of the war and serve no other pur-
pose than to give strength to the
grim determination of the British
to carry on the struggle to a
finish, regardless of loss of life
and money cost.
The German submarines have
shown great activity in the last
few days, the British merchant
marine being the chief sufferer.
A small cruiser and a torpedo
boat were also sent down. The
submarine attacks eliminated in
the sinking of the Arabic, White
Star liner, in which disaster two
or more Americans lost their
lives. From one point of view,
this was the most important wal
event of the week, and may have
far-reaching consequences. Ger,
many had been warned by the
United States in a note protest.

WOOL GOES TO HIGHER PRICE

The wool-buying season is OH. A
prominent helena sheepgrower
mas received telegram from the
Nationa! Woolgrowers association
which has this to say about the
prices being paid:
mime clips sold in Utah Friday

graded from three-eighths blood up
to fine and were all short clothing
wool, shrinking about 63 per cent.
one clip OF quarter blood sold at 26

and refused on the Allan Cotswold.
Please advise your neighbors." =.
In discussing the effect OF impOr-
tatlons OF heavy shrlnkage foreign
wools, which are the only supplies
that can be purchased for American
consumption, a circular issued by
the National Warehouse company
says:
NO doubt many mills are operat-
ing today on foreign wools eXclu-
slyely because there are no domestic
WOODS available. Some few millS
probably have moderate amounts ol
fine medium and half-blood woois
Dut in the memory OF those now &C
tive in the wool business there nav-
er was a time when there was as
small a stock OF domestic wool as al
present The forced consumption
of SO much foreign wool for The
months OF March, April and May vii
result in a great decrease in thl
available supply OF wool for thta
season and by the time our western
Wools reach eastern markets in Vol
ume there should be an active de
mand for them.
