THE RE

"If alleged, the Johore Gambling Farm is drawing
most of its Singapore and If the existence
of such farm is beyond doubt detrimental to the best
interests of sister settlement then the government
will be fully justified making special representations
to the of Johore with view the closing or
establishment that practically sets naught the laws
of the Straits Settlements
If the government of Johore get along with
out such illgotten gains obtainable from
bling farms the finances of the State indeed be
parlous condition. But that is why
offensive and dangerous nuisance drawing
attention to should be tolerated ever
is to be hoped for the sake of the good
fame of both Johore and Singapore ways
of suppressing 1t will be devised before very

Queen Caroline failed, the Kings Ministers
dropping their BILL OF this Creevey says:
The abandonment of the divorce forms the
ultimate climax of baseness, cowardce and
folly. 1t is a bill of pains and penalties upon
the King to expose him to the most dire dis
grace that ever inflicted upon mortal man-
to enact that, whereas his wife is the most
abandoned of women, he is fit associate Of
her! Oh. there never the like!''
So familiar did Creevey become with

DR.. Cook Ridicules Statement That
Ants Will Kill Potato Bugs.

\ DR.. Orator F. Cook of Guatemaian ant
fame. when seen at the Agricultural De
partment today and shown pupiisned
statement that several colonies OF Guate-
malan ants were held in readiness py the
department for offensive operations against
vast armies of potato bugs, said to De
working destruction on farms around
Washington, said:
1.-The writer of that story made an un-
fortunate guess. OF all the bugs in forest
and field, the potato bug is one the Guate-
malan ant will not partake of. The ant
will eat grasshoppers and most other in
sects. but not the offensive potato bug.
which. owing to disagreeable fluid in its
makeup, has a bad smell and doubtless a
bad taste. Birds will not for this reason
feed upon potato bugs because of their Of
fensive odor and taste"
DIR. Cook also said that the Guatemalan
ants will eat the larvae of the boil worm,
which differs from the boil weevil in that
1t is like grub or caterpillar. The worm
is destructive to cotton but less SO than
the weevil.
