Warsaw, July 22.-The menace
TO the Polish capital is becoming
serious through the defeat of the
left wing of the Polish army.
In three weeks the Poles have re-
tired from the Beresina river to
the Niemen, a distance of more
than $50 miles, and the distance
between the Niemen and the Wis
tula, which flows through War
cow, is less than that, being about
$50 miles.

had stopped, asked: "And what else
have trees done?"
The tree thereupon continued:
Trees hav furnished both the cradles
and collins of your ancestors. They
have given comfort and shelter to the
peasant as we'll as to the prince, to
the poor man and TO the potentate
alike. They have always figured in
mans divine and sacred relations.
They have always figured largely in
his economic life. They have always
figured in his social happiness, for in
the shade of trees the lovers met"
"They'd rather it should be their lips

the tree seemed not to hear.

CAN'T THE ARGENTINE ANT
AWFUL?"

1t surely is-until the representa-
tives Of the Mississippi Plant Board
get on its trail. after which it may
be truthfully said that the Argentine
Ant just simply "ain't'. At least,
this seems to be the case in Woodville,
Mississippi, where the Argentine Ant
control was started in September.
Two months later 95lper cent of the
ants were reported dead and such ex-
pressions as worked like charm"

Woodville," and Haven't seen an ant
in my house since," were common in
Woodville.
This troublesome pest was imported
many years, probably from Brazil,
and has been constantly increasing IN
numbers until now it is found in scat
tered localities from Texas to the At
lantic, attacking gardens, running or

chard and truck crops, and swarming
into houses, in some instances even
forcing people to vacate taeir homes.
Most attempts to poison the ants
have unusually been unsuccessful be-
cause the poison was so strong the
ants evaded it after few had been
killed. However, after a number of
experiments, E. r. Barber of the Uni
ted States Bureau of Entomology,
succeeded in compounding a weakly
poisoned syrup which continues to at
tract the ants and eventually exter-
inmates them almost entirely. The

THE CHRISTMAS TREES STORY.

Twas the night before Christmas
and the boys and girls OF our g.
borhood were gathered around the
fire-side at our neighbol's home. The
fire burned cheerfu,ly and cracked
warmly in contrast to the Whistllng
wind and we al realized that it was
cold outside.
Martha (who was one of the -, 81
borhood girls had just finished heI
story about the happiest Christmas
she had ever spent, when Fred said
he could beat that one with a story
that would "just beat anything you'd
ever heard" and ne told one that
wasn't interesting at all, because 1t
was all about him, and he got all the
pleasure.
Well when Fred had finished,
Johnny asked if there was anyone
who hadn't told a story, and Willie
answered that George Washington
hadn't, because Ma aad told him the
last time she spanked him for tell
ing one that George Washington was
never known to tell a story, but johnny
cut him short with CAV SMARTER
seriously now who hasn't told a
story-a Christmas story? Then the
answer came:
81 haven't, and all the Children
Cooked their establishment for the
voice came from the direction of the
Christmas tree. On closely looking
the children could see that the tree
Rad Strengthened itself to majestic
heights and was much larger than it
had been.

details of making and applying the
syrup, with much valuable informa-
ton about the Argentine Ant, is given
by Mr.. Barber in Farmers Bulletin
No. 11O1, distributed free by the Uni
ted States Department of Agricul-
ture.
!, The State Plant Board of Missis-
sippi in cooperation with several
towns of the State has been very
successful in fighting the Argentine
Ant. Much of this success was doubt
less due to the personal supervision
of Mr.. Barber and to the splendid as
sistance of Mr.. Luther Brown, and the
other members of the State Plant
Board. The towns have furnished the
necessary materials and labor w.lile
the Plant Board has supervised the
work, using at times six OF seven men
to carefully direct the operations.
That Woodville put on the first
campaign in the State against the
Argentine Ant was largely through
the efforts of Miss Mittie Fulger,
Home Economics Agent for Wilkerson
| County. Already a decided success,
the use of the poison will be continued
in an effort to entirely eradicate the
pest in that town. Campaigns nave
since been put on in Crystal Springs,
Laurel, and Durant, and while favor
able reports have already been re-
ceived, sufficient time has not yet
elapsed to give the complete success
that is expected.
Considerable trouble and delay was
experienced this year in obtaining
supplies, but to guard against delay
next year the State Plant Board is
now arranging to keep the necessary
materials on hand in large quantities,
and will be ready to start the fight
without hitch whenever any town
wishes to cooperate. Persons or or
CARNATIONS interested should address

College, Miss.

main in school and take advantage OF
the opportunity afforded them 70 ac-
