WAR ON ALFALFA
WEEVIL
University of Idaho Extension Divi-
sion Secures Expert for Idaho.

Announcement of a definite and
vigorous campaign against the alfalfa
weevil is made by the University of
Idaho extension division, with the ar
rival from Fort Collins, Colo, of
Claude Wakeland, former assistant
state entomologist of Colorado, in
charge of alfalfa weevil Investigations,
who is newly-appointed entomologist
of the extension division. This work
is to be conducted under terms of the
bill passed by the last legislature,
which appropriated $4,000 for the
anti-weevil campaign. The alfalfa
weevil can be controlled, on all crops
of one season by one spray, applied
at the proper time, on the first cut
ting, according to Mr.. Wakeland. The
decided results obtained by this
method, he says, make this line of
work most encouraging, as farmers
can begin to see the effects in about
five days from the time of spraying,
and in many sections they have been
discouraged in their fight
against the weevil, which seemed
hopeless.
Mr.. Wakelano's first work in Idaho
will be against the alfalfa weevil, and
later he will take up campaigns
against other pests. He plans
a trip which will take him through the
weevil-infested counties, to confer

''BORAH TUNE Is
CHANGED"
Idaho Senator Campaigned on Others
Money in 1912, Allen Says.

Detroit, Mich.-"I would rather
have a man whose friends respected
him enough to contribute to his cam
paign fund than the man who spends
his money to be elected. General
Wood has always been salaried man
and did not have sufficient money to
pay for his own campaign" said Gov
ernor Allen Of Kansas, speaking in
behalf of Gen. Leonard Woods presi-
dental candidacy in the Michigan
primaries.
Senator Borah has changed his
tune since 1912, when he and cam
paigned together in the interests of
Theodore Roosevelt" Governor Allen
continued. Every dollar spent in the
Roosevelt campaign was obtained by
friends of the colonel. 1t is not the
natural conclusion for Americans to
make that subscribers to election
campaigns give their money for self
ish motive. They do so because they
believe the man to whose fund they
subscribe is the man the country
needs"
Governor Allen said he had sub
scribed to the Wood campaign and
that he had given $4,000 worth of
advertising to the general through
the columns of his newspaper. He
termed the campaign of those oppos-
ed to General Wood "cheap and trashy
unjust, unfair and unmanly." He said
that no man who knew Leonard Wood,
would say that his administration
would be influenced by those who sub
scribed to his campaign fund.
"The opposition to General Wood
is chiefly because of the uniform he
wears. The uniform of the American
soldiers has never been danger or a

ILLINOIS DOCTOR Pre-
SCRIBES IT
Says He Has Never Known Med
icine To Produce Results
Like Tanlac.

DR.. B. H. Elder, with offices at 40
Shradsi Bldg, Peoria, H.; who has
been in active practice for over forty
years, says:
Medical science has never before
produced medicine that brings re-
suits like Tanlac. Personally | had
suffered for years from stomach trou-
BILE and rheumatism and had devoted
my best thought trying to find relief
but to no avail. After eating, gas
would form in my stomach and affect
my heart, causing poor circulation,
cold hands and feet, dizziness, peculiar
feelings, terrible headaches and
cramps. The rheumatism panied me
so could hardly stand to move my
legs or arms.
81 had patient who had also suf-
fered for years with the same trouble
as mine, and although l did all
could for him he got no better. One
day, after he had been away for about
six months, he came to my office and
never in my life have l seen man
look better or seem to feel better than
he did He told me Tanlac was what
had brought about the wonderful
change. began trying the medicine
at once with the result that a few
bottles relieved me entirely of stomach
trouble, rheumatism and all my other
ailments. Although l am an extra
hearty eater nothing ever disagrees
with me any more. l have prescribed
Tanlac in cases of rheumatism, kid
ney and bladder disorders and a run
down condition with wonderful re-
suits, and l feel that ought to give
my experience with Tanlac to the pub
lie for the benefit of suffering
humanity"
Tanlac is sold in Emmett by H. T.
Davis, in Montour by E. Vadney, in
Ola by F. w. Wharton, and in Montour

The Askov Creamery AssociA-

loss when their creamery build

and supplies burned to the
ground Monday.
T. N. Thomson was one Of
the first to yive the alarm. While
walking past the creamery a few
minutes after II o'clock Monday
noon he noticed smoke coming
out of the cupola and on inves-
tigation inside found that there
was fire in the boiler room. Chr.
Christensen. the buttcrmalcr,
was home for dinner. while his
helper was in the creamery but
was not familiar with how to So
cure water ms il was his first day
there, nor was Mr.. Thomson IA

meantime the flames spread ra-
pidly and an alarm was spread
over the town. II was only
few minutes after that a bucket
brigade and the chemical engine
was there but the flames we're
then coming through the roof
and all hopes Of saving the build
ing were gone
A chain Of men was formed
and full butter tubs were passed
from hand to hand from the lc..
box to a safe place outside. All
the office furniture and books
and records were also gotten out.
When the last butter was passed
out the building was so full Of
smoke that it was utterly i'm
possible To go in and save any.
more All the butter and office
furniture was passed out Of the
east door.
Barrels of salt and empty tubs
were rolled out Of a door on the
north side of the building and
an additional ice house, recently
built, about IS feet from the
main creamery building, was
rolled over a couple Of times and
saved from burning.
The wind was in lucky di-
rcction and the heavy snow
which was falling was a great
help in keeping the fire from
spreading. The chemical engine
was held in reserve for exiting

In about 2 hours the entire
building had collapsed and was

Later in the day an effort was
made To save some Of the coal.
