Puzzled by Ants
.Siezed atNeW York

Washington, April Mrs. Charles
w Morse's colony of European brown
meadow ants, seized by treasury de-
partment inspectors in New York last
week came to the agricultural depart
ment today and officials there are now
wondering what to do with them.
DR.. L. o. Howard, chief of the bu
reau of entomology, believes the ants
to be dangerous to farm products and
wants to destroy them, but is uneer-
tain as to their status.
The law says that animals and in
seets ''notoriously dangerous" must
not be imported into the United
States. Law officers of the treasury
department are uncertain whether
these ants are .notoriously' danger
Gus. and therefore are doubtful wheth-
er. DIR. Howard can destroy them. Mrs.
Morse is insisting upon their return.
The ants, housed in a glass covered
case, were bought abroad by Mrs.
Morse as curiosity.

East SangerviiIe Grange.

East Sangerville Grange met, March
II. Master F. S. Campbell presiding.
There were % members present. After
the usual routine of business, the lee
turer presented the following program:
Music. choir: reading. Amos Green's
Hens Mrs. F. L. Knowlton; paper,
What Is our Idea of Home p" Mrs. c.
II. Leland; topic, Which Does More
to Make a Happy Home, the Husband
or the Wife, opened by ]. P. Leland
who has been married IS years. fol-
lowed by X. p. Knowlton, who has
been married 81 years, and they said
the wife. These brothers were follow
cd by nearly every member in the
hall. 1t was finally decided that both
did equal parts, the husband doing
his part, the wife doing her part; al
though their work is widely different,
yet it all tends toward making home,
and it certainly depends upon both to
make the home happy one. The sub
ject How Can We Best Keep Our
Boys and Girls on the FARM" was
very interesting, as all took hold and
had something to say. The lecturer dis
tributed clippings of different mems
opinion, for each member to read, aft
er which she called on those members
to express their own opinion on the
subject. The result was lively dis
cussion that filled the vacancy of abb
sent members. The choir then favored
us with another selection, after which
the Grange was closed in form. Next
meeting, April 10, in the evening.
