Our Debt to France.

Professor E. I. McCormac Of tn:
University of California has writer
a most interesting article in connee
ton with the Liberty Loan. Taking a:
his theme, "Our Debt to France" Pro
fessor McCormac writes:
Gas one of the purposes of our gov
ernment in selling the Liberty bonds
is to enable it to extend credit to
France, and thereby to assist her in
expelling the invaders from her soil
it is well that we should recall what
France did for our revolutionary faith
ers when they were struggling to es-
tablish their right to self-government.
''The colonists gave their lives ami
their substance freely in the cause OF
liberty, but it is doubtful that they
could have succeeded had France not
come to their rescue.
Long before the Americans had
seriously thought Of independence,
French agents offered them encour-
agement and held out hopes of assist
ance.
early in 1776 Congress sent ST.
las Deane to Paris as their business
agent; Franklin soon followed armed
with full powers to negotiatean ALI
arce. Although France, up to ITS.
was nonlinally at peace with Great
Britain, yet these two Americans sue
ceeded in obtaining from the Frencl,
government over 100000 francs in
raoney and supplies, besides valuable
consignments of arms and ammunl-
ton. Part of the money was fur
nished as a gratuity TO our country,
while the supplies We're, nominally at
least, to be paid for in American pro-
ducts.

DESTROY ANTS WITH CANNON
That Method Has Been Proved in
Tropical Countries to Get the
Best Results.

1t is hard to imagine big guns kill
ing anything except men and horses
In South Africa and other tropical
countries, however, they are used to
kill ants-the termites, or warrior
ants. These ants are as highly organ
lied as the Huns. They live in re-
public Of their own, and are divided IN
to classes OF workmen, soldiers, and
queens.
The wOrkmen construct the huge
nests, the soldiers defend them and
keep order, and the females, or queens.
are cared for by all the others.
The ant heaps of these particular
ants are often 20 feet high and py-
randall In shape. Cattle climb upon
them without crushing them. A dozen
men can find shelter in some of their
chambers, and native hunters often lie
in wait inside them when out after
wild administrator the nests have
been deserted, Of course
The ants construct galleries which
are as wide as the bore of large can
non, aSd which run feet to feet
underground. II we built houses as
big in proportion q working man would
live in dwelling as big as pyramid
of Egypt.
These ants are frightfully destruc-
tive, and the only way to kill them off
is to blow them and their nests to
pieces with guns loaded with grape
shot.
