Driving the Ants Out of House and
Home.

Oregon Agricultural College, Cor
Wallis, Sept. 13.-Ants, particularly
troublesome this time of year, may be
controlled with considerable success
by smearing a mixture Of three parts
tartar emetic and four parts syrup
on bits of china or wood and placing
this bait about the runways Of the
ants. This is slow-acting poison,
of which the ants eat enough to poi
son themselves and also carry away
enough to poison their young. In this
way the entire colony may be exter-
minated.
Where it is possible to locate the
colonies outside the house the ants
may be exterminated by the carbon
bisulphide treatment. For killing off
large, well-established colony about
an ounce of carbon bisulphide is re-
quired. 1t is placed in a shallow dish
on the opening of the colony runway
and covered with a galvanized tub or
other vessel that is inverted over the
dish. All openings from the colony
not covered by the tub should be
closed with dirt pressed down slight
ly. The gas then formed is allowed
to act for about six hours, when the
treatment is applied to another col
ony.
The action of the bisulphide is thus
explained by Professor A. l.. Lovett
assistant etomoligist of the Oregon
Agricultural College, who prepared
the foregoing recommendations: The
bisulphide is obtained in liquid form
which, upon exposure to the air, is
transformed to gas. This gas is
heavier than air and permeates down
to the very bottom of the colony
home, where its deadly properties
destroy the ants. If the colonies are
near tree care should be taken that
not too much is used or it may injure
the tree. The gas is highly inflam-
mable and must not be opened near 9
fire, nor exposed to smoking.

have also been without preacher
most Of the year, and the M. f.
church whereby the new pastor will
occupy the pulpit at the Federated
church and the two congregations
unite for years work in this man

our way of thinking, and one that
should be maintained to the mutual
benefit of all concerned.

All accounts in the office OF Secre-
tary of State Earle w. Hodges were
found to be correct, according to the
report OF the accountants who audited
the Office under the direction Of George
Thorn burgh of Little Rock. The re-
port with a statement telling OF the
work OF the accountants, was made
public by Mr. Thornburgh. The report
shows that fees amounting to S4S2
charged to the ONCE has not been
paid to the state treasurer, and that
Mr.. Hodges holds treasurer's receipts
for s2165 more than was credited 10
him on the treasurer's books.
Mr.. Hodges explained the S4S2 fees
not collected by saying they were on
accounts where attorneys or other
parties had telephoned the office for
commissions, filing of records and
other documents and then failed to
remit. If they are not paid in a rea-
sonable time he will personally pay
them 10 the treasurer, he said. The
report criticizes the system of book
keeping in the office an in all other
state Offices audited
