con Street and the esplanade for a
chldren's hour OF song, Bible study

Mr.. Briggs. OF the Floating Hospital,

cause. Accepting an invitation to visit
the boat, the children and some of the
helpers spent very interesting hour
seeing the sick babies and the splendid

League. told of the organized work
being done by children to help keen

showed many pictures. On future Sun

story tellers will be on hand to interest
and inspire the children. While this

TRUSTING WITHOUT PROOF
BRINGS GOD NEAR TO US
Why Ask Him for Evidence When We
Accept Statements of Human
Friends.

To feel that we can trust God better
after He has done for us something
that we sorely need is to insult God
says the Sunday School Times. Gods
works do not add 10 His trustworthi-
ness. We do not ask our truest human
friends to prove their word to us. If
one whom we love and we know to be
true tells us that he will do certain
thing for us, we do not reply Well
after you have done 1t | shall know
that You mean what You say" Human
friendship would not last long on such
basis. Yet wo constantly, though
often unconsciously. treat God in that
way. He says to us, My grace is sufn-
cient for thee" BY this we know that
lie means that in the particular need
of this moment. in which we are so
helpless and which means defeat or
ruin for us unless we can find some
way out, He is taking unon Himself the
entire responsibility of meeting the
need for us triumphantly. He tells us
that He will sec to It, in His omnipo-
tence and with His ineXhaustible re-
sources. that we do not fail. And we
say that we shall feel easier about be-
lieving this after God has really shown
us the way out and has plainly pro-
videa all that we now lack. We can
not quite believe that He is true, in
other words. until He proves it, The
worst of this Is that so long\as we
ask God to prove Himself trustworthy
lie cannot do for us the great things
that we need and that He is longing
to do. Only when we trust Him com
pletely without any evidenc, can He
pile up the evidences in our life Shall
we not now and forever give God the
same standing, in our confidence. as
we give our best human friends. In
order that He may do for us that which
our best human friends can never do?

NO DOUBT THAT RESINOL
DOES STOP ITCHING

1t Is fact that the moment resinol
ointment touches itching skins, the
itching stops and healing begins. With
the aid OF resinol soap, it almost al
ways clears away all trace of eczema,
summer rashes. plmples, or similar tor
menting, unsightly eruption quickly,
eaying the skin clear and healthy.
And the best of it is you need never
hesitate to use resinol soap and resi-
mol ointment. Resinol is a doctors
prescription which for twenty years
has been used by careful physicians
for many kinds OF skin affections.
They know that its soothing, healing
action Is brought about by medication
so bland and gentle as to be suited to
the most delicate or irritated skin.
Resinol ointment and resinol soap are
sold by all druggists. -Adv.

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 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 1t.
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

these during spring and early sum

alfalfa plants and feed, becoming
most numerous about June l. They

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 ap-
pear. This condition lasts until the
normal harvest time of the second
crop, SO that 1t 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 a
weighted spike-tooth 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 sun and to the choking action
of the dust. The bureau of entomol
ogy has proved that neither the me-
chanical crushing nor the direct rays
of the sun contribute much to the eff
fectiveness of the dustmulch 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
allure of 100 degrees all stages of the
insect are - d 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 II the soil is not In good
condition Ii must be cultivated before
