ERADICATION OF ANTS.

Many people are often puzzled as
to methods of Graduating ants, which
infest orchards, doirg injury in vari-
Gus ways.
Below is an effective, cheap and
simple remedy which has been sue
cessfully tried out by Mr.. Clay Parker,
OF Carleton, WASH, MIR. J. F. Grant,
OF Pogue Prairie, near Omak, WASH,
and Mr.. A. H. Simmons, of Pogue
Prairie, near Omak Wash. For an
ordinary ant hill, take lump Of po-
tassium syanide tx C.N) the size of
a hickory nut and push we'll down in
the nest. Use commercially pure cy-
anide, which can be obtained at any
drug store.
The fumes penetrate every alley OF
the nest, killing all ants therein as
well as all that return to the nest
for an indefinite time.
Potassium cyanide is ore of the
most dangerous poisons and the great
est of care must be exercised to pre-
vent any animal from finding it. The
fumes are very penetrating and ara
most dangerous to any person or ami
NAL.
After placing in the nest for several
days remove the lump, which Otter
has lost most of its strength after
several days exposure.
Always keep cyanide in a tight jar
CT bottle; never in a box or PAPER
package.

Taneytown Building Lets Quickly Sold

Taneytown had demonstration last
Saturday or what can be done by
business men who are aggressive, and
who cultivate the habit of thinking a
little in advance of the average citi-
zen. Seventy-four building lots were
sold at public sale i'm a period Of two
and one-half hours, all bringing fair
prices, an accomplishment creditable
to the syndicate making the sale, and
equally creditable to the auctioneer,
Mr. j. N. O. Smith.
On August 10, Ar. I'D. wv. Garner,
Taneytown's active real estate agent,
sold for the estate of the late Judge
II. NJ. Clabaugh the large and attrac-
tive Antrim farm, on the south edge
Wf town, to a syndicate composed Of
Mr. George II. Krug, a business man
Of Littlestown; MIR. Charles H. Base
boar, manager of the Littlestown Mill
ing Company, DR.. Curtis S. Basehoar,
a dentist, of Carlisle, Pa, and a. y.
White Hutton, a prominent young at
tOrney of Chambersburg, Pa.
The new owners Immediately sent a
SiVil engineer, Mr.. Allen w. Corson, of
Carlisle, Pa, to make q plot of build
ing lots the full extent OF the farm on
the new Westminster state road, who,
with the assistance OF Aessrs. Smith
and Garner, advertised the sale which
was held Saturday. The result, all
accomplished within less than five
weeks, was complete surprise to the
people of the community, and quite
gratifying to the enterprising mem
hers of the syndicate. Every lot was
actually sold, though in a few in
stances the bidders were acting for
other people. The list of purchasers.
with the number of lots purchased by
each, is as follows: George F. Krug,
2: Charles III. Basehoar, 2; Harvey z.
0hler, 2; Dr. u. WI Demmitt, 2; Rob
ert v. Arnold, 4 Clarence Hilterbrick,
4; James Fl. Reindollar, 4; J. w.
Witherow, 80; Noah S. Baumgardner,
8; DR.. N. A. Hitchcock, 2; Martin
@onover, 2; George r. Baumgardner,
2; Miss Alice Clousher, 2; Harry Il.
Fleagle, 2; David Hahn, 2, and j. ID.
Oyerholtzer, 4.
The substantial character of the
purchasers was shown by the prompt
ness and ease with which the condi-
lions Of the sale were met. The indi
cations are that nearly every trans
action will be cash. The syndicate
expressed their appreciation, and will
nave more than a financial interest
in the town With proper cooper
alton it may mean new era for
