To Exterminate Little Ants.

During the summer months little ants
are often very troublesome around kitch-
en-, pantry. or refrigerator. and many
housekeepers are at their wits end try
ing to get rid Of the little pests. Below
are three suggestions that are absolutely
certain.
Set the legs Of the kitchen table or re-
frigerator in little basins OF water so
hat the ants cannot cross to crawl to
the top.
Wet pieces Of sponge in sweetened
water and set them in the places where
the ants congregate. The insects will
crawl into the sponges. which you may
throw into boiling water several times
a day. This method, II you persist in
ITS use. will absolutely exterminate them.
II you find the nests. pour kerosene
over them.

IOWA..

Iowa is a large AMI happy corn
field. speckled with Carnegie librar-
les and half-ton hogs, which are ex-
changed by their owners when ripe
for automobiles and piano players.
The field is bounded on the east and
west by Mississippi and Missouri
Rivers, but barbed wire is used on
the north and south. The State has
100000 people, almost all of whom
scan the editorial page and market
reports in the daily papers with THE
deepest interest.
Iowa has no romance in its story.
Its history could not be dramatized
even in a high-brow theater with any
success. About seventy years ago
people began going into Iowa from
Illinois to raise crops, and they have
been doing it ever since. Iowa leads
the world in farm products. It's
corn cribs have elastic sides, and the
Iowa pig, after he has fed on Iowa
corn for a few months, has to be
moved to and from meals on truck.
The tourist who crosses Iowa during
midsummer complains of the dense
forests and the early twilight, but he
is only going through 300 miles Of
lowa crops which are getting their
III! growth. After an Iowa farmer
has set out on his porch on hot july
evenings and has heard his corn grow
for twenty-five years, it is hard to
interest him in such lpiffish music as
grand opera produces. sa,- g..
Next to its crops, Iowa is the
most famous for its politics. The
high tension, four-syllabled brand of
politics is used throughout the State,
and while more than a dozen cam
paigns, heated TO 1000 degrees Fab
renheit, have been pulled off in the
last. ten years, they have all been de-
cided without the use Of brass knuck-
les or bribery investigations. There
is twice rs much politics per cubic
yard of conversation in Iowa as there
is in any other State, and the stand
patters and damspatters, as the in
slrgents are called, carry their argu-
ments into weddings, prayer meet
ings, and funerals. But they associ-
ate freely together without hiding
their watches and talk issues instead
of appointments. In consequence, Iowa
produces several statesmen per thou
sand politicians, and her Senators are
remembered for their mental and
not their financial prominence.
Iowa is singularly blessed in its
lacks It has no trusts, no great me-
tropolis, no smart set, no slums, no
country estates, and no abandoned
farms.
Iowa people wear last years fash
ions quite extensively, but read this
years books and originate next years
political improvements. The Iowa
man can be readily distinguished by
his placid brow, his 9-o'clock bed
time, and his careless habit of pay
ing cash for everything he buys
