40 Billion Ants Are
Killed by "Cas" on
"A Louisiana Farm,
THE GERMANS HAVEN'T ANY
THING ON RICkS IN MAKING
DEADLY FUMES.

Fom Algiers, La, comes the follow
ing:
A dimes worth of moth balls, a nick
els worth of sugar and a glass of wa
ter with a bottle-that's the secret
of the asphyxiating "gas" of a farmer
over the river in his war on the armies
of Argentine ants.
A two-gallon bucketful of the in
sects, so deadly to Vegetation. was the
toll of the "gas" in the trenches on the
truck farm of G. L. Kicks, near the
race track, bordering on Algiers.
Kicks estimated that there were
something like forty billion ants in
the bucket he exhibited.
Kicks says he soaks the moth balls
ten minutes in sugared water, and
! places the balls in a bottle with both
ends broken so the air circulates free
ly.
A sweet, sickening odOr comes from
the bottle, Ricks puts a bottle to the
| bottom of the vines or trees and the
ants are attracted by the sugar. The
odor of the month balls and sugar
makes the "gas."
Ricks says the "gas" makes the in
sects insane and then they kill eacf
other, and if you don't believe there
are forty billion ants in that bucke
he exhibited, you can take a month of
and count them.

Special to The NetOS.
Natchez, Miss, June 8.-For fifteen
long, weary years, a pretty black
haired, black-eyed girl of COncordia
parish, La, will linger outside the
penitentiary gates, awaiting the re-
lease of her youthful husband, who
must pay the penalty for assisting in
the murder of a Linsmore planter
some weeks ago.
And at the end of the prison term,
when the girl will have reached the
stage of womanhood and that point
where feminine beauty begins to
break and fade, and her convict hus-
band, bowed by the stern and rigor-
Gus duties of a long prison sentence,
doffs his striped uniform, the pair,
separated today by iron bars and steel
cages, once more will meet and will
revel in the companionship of each
other which a court now denies them
maybe.
Thinks She Is Willing to Wait.
Miss Sallie Beard thinks she is will
ling to wait for her husband while he
serves Is years of hard labor in the
penitentiary Today, just before P. J.
A. Warren, Jr., was taken from his cell
into the Concordia parish court where
sentence was passed on him, she be-
came his bride.
The last word of the ceremony said,
and the wishes of the minister be-
slowed upon the pair, they marched
to the court house, the bride clutch
ing the shackled arm of her husband
of a minute. She stood alongside OF
Warren while the court delivered the
sentence which will separate her from
him for Is years.
P. ]. A. Warren and w. S. Warren
were convicted of manslaughter for
the killing of w. T. Smith, of Lins-
more In passing sentence on both
men, Justice H. A. Chase said that the
crime was "one of the blacklist and
.foulest murders ever perpetrated in
Concordia parish" and wound up his
talk to the convicted men by stating
that if it had not been that the jury
recommended the mercy of the court
they would be given the limit.
Contrary to expectations a new trial
was not asked for. Bills of exceptions
were filed, however, and an appeal
may be made to the supreme court.
