WILL ENJOIN THE ANTS.
Texas Farmers Wants None of Then
In His Cotton Fields.

Houston, Texas, July 5.-Roder
Clark, a prominent planter of Calhoun
county, states that he will apply for
an injunction to prevent the govern
ment experts bringing the
Guatemalan ant into Texas as
an insect enemy of the boil
weevil.
Itwas stated recently that Govern
ment Entomologist Cook is no enroute
with a large number of the ants, the
first lot of which are to be taken To
Victoria, in which county Mr.. Clark
has interests and which adjoins Cal
houn county, where his plantation is
located. Mr.. Clark, as to the basis for
his application, says:
ITO my mind it is a serious and dan
gerous matter to transplant a South
American insect or pest to South Tex
as because they will multiply very
rapidly.
"One-half the cotton is picked by
negroes who do not wear enough
clothes to make a whole shirt, and the
other half by barefooted children; this
ant, to be of avail in destroying the
weevil, must cover the entire field,
and any n who has had a few Of the
native ants sting him will realize that
it will be impossible to get the cotton
picked.

How to Tell Age Of Horses,

The popular idea that the age OF a
horse can always be told by looking at
his teeth, says a veterinary surgeon, Is
not entirely correct. After the eighth
wear the horse has no more new teeth,
so that the tooth method Is useless for
telling the age of a horse which Is more
than s years old. AS soon as the set OF
teeth is complete, however, a wrinkle
begins to appear on the upper edge OF
the lower eyelid, and a new wrinkle Is
added each year, so that to get at the
age of a horse over 8 years old you
must figure the teeth plus the wrinkles.

Mormon Church Does Not Control
Idaho Sugar Factories.
Washington, Dec. 20.-Apostle John
Henry Smith of the Mormon church
was recalled as the first witness OF
the day in the Senator Smoot investi-
cation and was cross-examined by A.
H. Worthington, counsel for Smoot.
Denial was made by the witness
that the Mormon church owned a ma
jority Of stock in the sugar manutac-
tories of Idaho. He was examined
concerning his participation in poll
tics in Idaho and his testimony chiefly
was in contradiction of the testimony
given by Charles N. Jackson, chair
man of the Democratic state commit
tee, who testified Saturday. He en-
phatically denied that he had said
there had been revelations that Ger
tain political ticket should be sup
ported. Apostle Smith, however, ad
mitted taking an active part in bring
ing about the repeal of the territorial
test oaths, which practically excluded
Idaho Mormons from voting. He sale
he had made political speeches il
Idaho in 1902, but appealed to the
voter as citizen and not as mem1el
Of the Mormon church.
