Liberal Schools Open Sep
TENDER Sixth

The Liberal schools will open for
work September the 9th. Students
enrolling for the first time should
bring their report cards to the super
intendents office in the High School
building Saturday morning, Septem-
Der 4th, and have their classification
determined. Each student not pre-
senting report card from the school
previously attended will be required
to take an examination to determine
his classification. These examina-
tions will begin at o'clock Saturday
morning September 4th. 1t is sin
cerely hoped that all new students
except those presenting county di-
plomas will secure classification be
fore school opens. After the opening
of school the matters Of oganization
take so much attention that proper
classification of new students is diff
cult.
AS has been the custom heretofore,
beginners will not be enrolled after
September 20th. Pupils may enter
school at five years Of age but expert
ence seems to indicate that the needs
Of the average child are best served
if he does not enter school until he
has reached his sixth year.
High school students should use
care in purchasing books before en-
tering school as most OF the high
school books have been changed for
the coming year. The new books
will be on sale at Smiths Drug Store.
In most cases old books may be ex-
changed in part payment for the new
books.
We hope every student will be
ready for work on the drSt day Of
school There are few conditions
that hamper school work so much as
late entrance and irregularity.

The alfalfa weevil, introduced into
this country at single spot near Salt
Lake City over ten years ago, has
slowly spread throughout the north
ern half OF Utah, including three of
the most productive counties, and
taken a foothold in the adjacent parts
of Idaho and Wyoming. 1t destroys
about one-half of the annual yield, un-
less measures are taken to prevent it.
The weevils, after spending the win
ter in the fields about the roots Of the
plants, deposit large numbers of pale
yellow eggs in cavities made in the
stems with their beaks The little
green worms" which hatch from
these during spring and early sum
mer, cluster upon the fresh shoots of
alfalfa plants and feed, becoming
most numerous about June 1. They
destroy much Of the first crop, injure
the quality of what remains, and com
pei early cutting to prevent total loss.
The actual damage to the first crop is
not far from so per cent of its value.
Upon the cutting of the first crop the
larvae gather upon the bit of food
which is afforded by the new shoots
and destroy them as fast as they APP
pear. This condition lasts until the
normal harvest time of the second
crop, so that it is a total loss. The
damage to the first two crops usually
| amounts to about one-half the annual
yield.
A valuable method for preventing
the injury to the second crop consists
in brush dragging the stubble after
removal OF the first cutting. This was
devised by the Utah experiment sta
ton in cooperation with farmers, 1t
was improved later, however, In ac-
tual practice by the adoption of
! weighted spike-.ooth harrow with sew
eral layers OF woven wire stock fenc-
ing underneath, instead of the old
fashioned brush drag. This treatment
was widely adopted as a means of
crushing the insects, and also as a
means OF exposing them to the rays

of the dust. The bureau of entomol-
ogy has proved that neither the me-
ehanical crushing nor the direct rays
of the sun contribute much to the eff
fectlveness of the dust-mulch treat
ment, and that most of the insects in
all stages die long before they are
smothered by the dust The essential
factor in killing the weevils is the
heat absorbed by the soil from the
suns rays.
To kill the weevil the surface of
the field to be treated must be dry,
free from clods cracks and vegeta-
ton. To get best results, however,
the sky must be clear and the weather
warm Under these conditions when
the soil reaches the necessary temper
AZURE of 100 degrees all stages of the
Insect are killed in less than two min
utes. The second crop of alfalfa is
then free to grow. The effectiveness
Of this treatment, however is directly
proportional to the thoroughness with
which the above conditions are com
piled with. If the soil is not in good
condition it must be cultivated before
dragging. The great objections to
this method Of fighting the weevil is

into new territory may be prevented.
Fruit vegetables, alfalfa seed and
nursery stock contain practically no
weevils, with the single exception of
potatoes which have been in contact
with infested green alfalfa. Alfalfa
hay sometimes contains adults and
some of them may remain alive for
six months in the stack About the
only other danger of spreading the
weevil is by carrying it in clothing
either on the person or in baggage

that it requires much cultivation of
the alfalfa at the busy haying season,
Poison for Alfalfa WeeviIs.
Several farmers have adopted the
method of spraying the alfalfa stubble
with arsenate of lead instead of Great
ing a dust mulch. Apply the poison
at the rate of IL pounds in four bar
rels of water per acre. Where a large
area is to be covered a gasoline en-
CINE for power is necessary. Two
lines of hose are operated by two men
and bordeaux nozzles held at a dis
lance of about ~ feet from the
ground. Equally good work could
probably be done with small guam
tity of arsenate of lead by better
method of distribution. This spray
method, however, is better adapted to
large fields than the dust-mulch meth

TAKE TIME TO LIVE

When I was a little girl I was all ways sent to an aunt's home to stay when an epidemic of measles, scarlet fever. humps or chickenpox broke out in our family. As there were six of us we had frequent attacks of these dreaded diseases, so I was sent often to abide at my relatives home.
 Everyone thought I enjoyed those jaunts. but I didn't. I couldn't have told you at that time why I didn't. I wasn't old enough to comprehend the reason why, nor had I lived long enough to understand the joy of liv ing. Aunt Mary had children of her own and daughter of my age. but in spite of all this I never had a really good time at a visit at Aunt Mary's, no matter what length it was.
 As I have grown older and watched people more I have been able to put my finger right on Aunt Mary's character istic trait. She is simply too efficient or too executive to be confined within the four walls of a home.
 As friend just said to me: Your aunt is certainly a wonderful woman. but instead of housekeeper she should have been a general in the army or manager of a department store"
 That expresses it exactly. Aunt Mary is a veritable general in her home. She manages everything, everybody, and everybody's affairs. She is so busy being efficient and executive that she isn't taking time to live and to SHjoy the things about her.
 When you are visiting in Aunt Mary's home you have a feeling that you mustn't sit down until Aunt Mary sits down, that so long as there is a dish to wash or spoon to wipe you must stand round with dish towel in your hand, else you will have a guilty feeling that will prevent you from en- loving your newly arrived, waiting to be read magazine. Relaxation is an unknown thing in Aunt Mary's house. hold. %1&lN

A remarkably interesting lecture dealing with what he aptly termed the telephone war; was given by Charles Darling before the Royal So- ciety of Arts recently.
 MT. Darling said that we had to thank the Japanese for indicating the potentialities of the telephone in modern warfare, since they brought this method of communication to fine state of development in the Russo Jap panese war. So omnipotent had the telephone become today on the battle field that flag signaling was practically abolished, and all communications there were now made by means of the field telephone. The latter instrument differed, MT. Darling said, in many essentials from the ordinary house telephone, being without bell and much more com pact The source of current was the dry cell

 Whether Great Britain could fur nish sufficient American securities at present to serve as collateral for this big loan is another question. It is thought that should she not be able to raise this sum, Canadian and South American securities, govern ment bonds and even high class rail- way bonds-would be thought suf- ficiently stable to serve as collateral for part of the loan.
 This raised the question: Would the controller of the currency sane tion loans by national banks on bonds of South American govern ments; to go further would such loans be sanctioned where high grade South American railway bonds are offered as collateral?
 There is at present no market here for these issues; it is pointed out that under the present condi- tions they would have to be sold in London, should the banks find it necessary to sell them. The opinion that official sanction might be with held on loans of this character seem ed to prevail
 All these however, are surmise.

Secretary of Chamber of Commerce to Take Field ing's Dam Celebration Pictures to San Fran cisco Exposition

 movies. Has a new sort of sound, but that is just what the capable sec retary of the chamber of commerce | is going to become for the next ten days. With 5000 feet of film in his suit case. Welch left last evening for San Francisco, bent on impressing the natives and all the visitors with the importance of the Salt River val ley
 The film that he took with him is the product of the local Lubin studio and was made at the celebration of the highest water in the Roosevelt lake last April. A newspaper mems "preview'' of the film was given at the Empress theater and even in it's crude ard untitled state, the beauty of the stuff was remarkable. Note worthy among the achievements of MT. Fielding in capturing beautiful scenic effects is his photography of sunrise Cn Lake Roosevelt. A large number of trials were made, covering four mornings, but the results have amply justified the work. In the dim light of early dawn, the artificial lake resembles one of the beautiful Italian lakes. and the cloud effects are superb.
 Along with this scenic film is lot more, showing the celebration itself, the crowds on the dam, the speakers "close up"
 Properly cut up and set off with sub-titles the picture will run about three reels, and will be a notable ad- dition to the archives of the chamber. It was donated to the organization by Romaine Fielding.
 Welch will have the film worked over in one of the movie shops in San Francisco. and will then proceed to give shows.

This served for calling up and could also be readily used for transmitting mes sages by the Morse code. In fact the telephone was more largely used for signaling in this manner than for the transmission of the human voice, since the noise of battle ire 1uently caused the latter to become indistinct, while the Morse signals could be more easily recognized un- der these trying conditions.-London Telegraph.

This vast and intolerable medium of dullness, which penetrates our lives like a thick, dark mist, al- lowing us only to see the object in range of an immediate vision, hostile to all originality, crushingly respect able, that dictates our homes, our emotions, our religion, is the most ruthless and tyrannical thing in the world.-Arthur C.
