MAKING WAR ON THE ANT
Little Creatures Are Looked Upon az
Enemies and Are Being Treated
Accordingly.

Merely emulating the ant is not
sufficient in these days, according to
the agricultural experiment station OF
the University of Arizona; you've got
to prevent his being too industrious
himself. II is the harvester ant whose
interchangeable industry is receiving sec
ond thought.
The farmers of the university say
that the harvester ants might become
a menace to crops and have launched
a crusade against them. The menace
is not serious because it is being taken
in time. That is the function of the
experiment station.
In times gone by the ant enjoyed 8
high reputation among writer's and
philosophers for its general industri
GUS qualities and good behavior Solo
mon, who had corner on the wisdom
market in his time, issued standing
advice to young men afflicted with the
hookworm TO call on the ant and take
few lessons in doing things, and the
busy little insect was frequently writ
ten up in the newspapers as an intel
lectual and moral person Of the first
rank.
Lately scientists have been taking
some unkind shots at the ant family
Ants are credited with devastating
gardens, biting chickens, spelling
porch parties and making themselves
generally obnoxious in the kitchen and
dining room.
Various deadly dopes have been pro
posed that will make any colony senc

Watermelon sIrup Is Possible.

According to the fruit-juice special
lists of the agricultural department a
delicious sirup for table use can be
made from watermelons, thus giving
the watermelon grower by-product
from the surplus watermelons he has
in his fields. This by-product can be
used in the manufacture of ginger cake,
homemade candies and as a sweeten-
ing and flavor for ice cream, as we'll
as for most purposes for which sirup
is used in the home. The sirup is
reddish brown in color and is sweet
and well favored. Specialists point
out that the juice of watermelons con-
tains only about seven per cent Of
sugar. but the ease with which the
juice can be extracted offsets the low
sugar content.

shrewd Indian Gamblers.

Gambling on the monsoon rains Is
by no means new game in India,
but new variety OF It was recently
brought to light in the Punjab canal
colony districts. What was known
as the kharaba system Of revenue col
lection prevailed there, under which
land revenue and canal dues were not
levied IL the crop failed to mature.
So a cultivator would SOW more land
than he could possibly hope to ma
ture by canal water and normal rain
supply. Then II the rains we're super
abundant he would reap the benefit,
while IL the rains we're merely or
dinarily good he would have no rev
enue to pay on the land used for the
little gamble. The game has been
stopped by the abolition OF the khara.

Brass Ruttons Mo More.

The Grenadiers and some of the
other British guard battalions are now
giving up the brass letters on their
shoulder straps and wearing instead
the name of their regiment worked in
cotton on cloth, as the men of the
Royal Flying corps have always done
The guards are also TO have the brass
buttons on their tunics replaced with
bone buttons. and the practice may be
extended throughout the army.
The soldiers viii not be at all sorry,
as they have to spend good deal OF
elbow grease in keeping the brass
shiny. The change is being made not
because England is running short OF
brass, but because experience has
shown that the metal shines in the
sunlight. and catches the eye of the
enemys snipers.

Marrying for home, or any sort OF
marriage as means Of support, may
be considered by some as part of the
business OF marriage, but generally
speaking It is risky business--a wild
speculation in which the girl pays very
dearly for something she is not likely
to want when she gets it, and in many
cases will rid herself of on short no
tice. And the price she pays is not
only her youth and whatever charm
and ambition she may possess, but a
poor miserable. broken life.-Bailey
