Years ago one day coming home
from Baraboo, we found a drove of
ants had entered our pantry through
the open window and had made a nest
in large loaf of bread lying in the
bread box | easily traced them by
their living pathway to their home
near the house, and with a teakettle
of scalding water sprayed their home,
but large part of them were out
foraging, SO I destroyed only a part of
them. They were very large black
ants. We were annoyed also by much
smaller black ants, but ! could not
find their home
The next day, as I came home to
dinner, I noticed in the pathway to
the house, many ants. Stopping, l
found they were fighting. The war
was, between the big and little ants.
They appeared fierce and wild Then
saw small and big ant meet. They
drew near and stopped suddenly.
Then, like flash, the little one
jumped and grabbed one Of the big
OA1C . ACCAO1O III nAo Jaws. Az CuS 0dAC
moment the big one set his jaws on
the little ones neck, cutting off his
head. But the death grip Of the little
ones head did not relax its hold Now,
these feelers that stand out in front of
the head of many kinds of insects are
one of the most important of their
sense organs, and without them they
are helpless. So, all the big ant could
do was to sink down, utterly bewil-
dered and helpless; moving feebly
his limbs to no purpose. The fact Vas
that when any two met it was sure
death to both, for the same thing oc-
Cured in every case where / saw them
meet. Of course there were other
methods of attack The war all around
the house lasted three days, and many
thousands persisted. And on the feel
ers Of the vast majority of the big
ones might be seen the little ones
heads still clinging. I suppose my
scalding the big ones nest was the
cause Of the war. So you see war and
strife are everywhere, in all the earth.

AMERICA IN THE WAR

Nothing greater than Americas en-
trance into the war, except the war it.
self, has happened since the French
revolution shattered the traditions of
feudalism in Europe, says the London
Times. The cause in which America
draws the sword and the grounds on
which the president justifes the mo-
mentous step he has taken are augur-
les that the final outcome will be for
the happiness and welfare of mankind.
We doubt if in all history great COM
munity has ever been summoned to
war on grounds so largely ideal.

TO LIVE LONG

A recipe given by famous physi
clan for long life was: Keep thr
kidneys IN good order Try to elimi

poisons that otherwise clog the kidneys
Avoid eating meat as much as possible
avoid too much salt, alcohol, tea. Try
milk and vegetable diet Drink plenty
of water, and exercise SO you sweat
the skin helps to eliminate the toxic
poisons and uric acid"
For those past middle life, or thos,
easily recognized symptoms of infam

rheumatism, rusty joints, stiffness

is a wonderful eliminator of uric acid
and was discovered by DR.. Pierce oil

OUR DUTY NOW

Getting rich these solemn days is
going to be unpopular, especially get
ting rich off the government, says the
Ohio State Journal. A man who makes
a fortune off munitions of war is 60
ing to be regarded as traitor to his
country. In these days Of the nations
peril and sorrow to get rich in any
way, on food or clothing, as we'll as
on munitions, is going to meet with
universal disgust. These are days
when men owe to themselves only
plain, simple, everyday living. All the
rest belongs to their country, and any
departure from this is going to make
unhappy lives. Patriotism, not in
sound, or show or banner, but in life,
is for some time now to be the habit
Of true citizenship. Modesty self
denial and courage are the adorn-
ments of a real Americanism these
days. Without them dreadnoughtS
and tank machines will win the day.

BACKWARD IS
THIS SEASON
IN MONTANA

The following is from the Lodi en-
terprise, written by c. A. Perry. Mr.
Perry is located but a few miles from
Tracy Battles, son of Mr. and Mrs. E.
J. Battles of this city. Letters from
T. r. also state the season is back
ward and but little grain sown. The
letter in the enterprise reads as fol-
lows:
Shawmut, Mont, May 4, 1917 The
wind is in angry mood today. The
snow swirls-a northwest blizzard is
raging. So much Of this weather has
prevailed this spring that have pes
tered many of my acquaintance with
letters. 1t is days and weeks of. this
misplaced weather that causes long
ing for old associates and the desire
to hear often from them. The En-
terprise visits us weekly and each
time is eagerly scanned, wishing it
twice the size. No spring before since
my coming to Montana has anything
approached this season. Storm fol-
lowing storm each day, or so closely,
the soil does not dry sufficiently to
work upon it.
l sowed Is acres of fall wheat which
seems all right This was sowed late.
Most of the early sowed on fallowed
ground has been winter killed.
/ have rs acres more which was
plowed last spring which I expected
70 ctr hhJn -, fhic Of
this has been touched. / have ESQ
acres more hoped to get plowed this
spring in time to SOW. Futile hope.
No furrow yet has been turned. We
started for the east~end of our field,
a mile away, with the engine; thought
we would try it little. Got the en-
CINE in the ditch and for two weeks
the waters from storms and melting
SHOWS strove to wash it away We
got it out yesterday, and hoped to
try its power on the land today.
The. settlers are coming, and pity
for them. They have studied their
almanac and hurried to get to Mon
tana, most of them with their CATERS
and low spring Shoes. They have had
to pay fabulous prices for spats and
hip boots; also 25 to 80 dollars per
ton for hay, $3.50 per hundred for
oats, $3.50 to $500 for spuds per hun
dred net, spring wheat for seed per
bushel, $500 to $3.50, and all else in
proportion.
| offered party $45 per head for
100 good Hereford steers and heifers
coming one year old this spring, and
he wanted $50 per head | had the
land to pasture; he had the cattle,
and not the land. 1t is hard to tell
who made the mistake. I contented
myself by buying five hogs at $40 per
hundred. The fellow had the hogs
and no feed I had the feed and I
know how to feed hogs, but have to
keep them shut W lest some fellow
will steal them.
Now we had thought we could do
something for the country in the way
of feeding a lot of people that Teddy
anticipates taking with him across the
channel and the many hungry people
he will associate with, but it now
looks bad for us, and | would be glad
if someone would put in a vacant lot

etc., for me when I come to Lodi next
winter. Anon.

Coal Prices.

August Ockerhauser Of Baraboo
sends newspaper clipping on the
coal situation, which reads as fol-
lows:
A buying panic" which will play
into the hands of the retailers and
jobbers and cost the American public
millions is imminent in the anthra-
cite coal industry. The federal trade
commission took steps today (Satur-
day. to check it by placing the facts
in the case before the United States.
There is no excuse for the panic,
the commission says, nor for any in
crease in price, and adds that pres
ent prices are not warranted by the
cost of production.
The commission takes issue with
jobbers who have declared they cam
not make summer discounts The
larger anthracite operators, it finds,
will make usual reductions and these
should be passed On to the people.
The commission also promises to Gre
ate blacklist" of all who take adj
vantage Of the necessities of the peo-
pie.
There is an adequate supply of
coa1 it will be mined as usual during
the summer and mine prices will be
! reasonable, the commission says. It
declares Congress must enact legis-
lation to prevent speculation in coal
and to see that coal cars are kept
moving.
The commission says:
If the public is deceived SO as
to indulge in scramble/for coal,
such as occurred last winter, the
favorable situation may be multi
fed 1t, on the other hand, pur-
chases are made as usual, there
will be no disturbance and small
chance for spectators to fleece the
public. The best thing that can
happen now is for everyone to
/ buy as has been his custom in for
! mer years. Transportation will
| thereby be relieved of undue bur-
| dens and the coal will be steadily
i distributed during the summer

Indiana Price Plot
The public service commission at

that there is a combine in Indiana to
