CLEAR HOUSES OF REACHES
species Of Ante That Bring Their Own
Welcome In the South American
Tropics.

HouSe-cleaninR ants" are welcome
visitors In the South American tropicA,
for they hunt aud kill the cockroaches
which infest the homes there. Dock
reaches cannot be kept out Of the
houses; they grow to unbelievable dEe,
and they eat everything, including
clothing They even nibble at ones face
or lips while one is asleep.
The ants appear In hordes at varied
periods, apparently from nowhere A
strange fact Ia connection with their
coming is that a tropical variety Of
blackbird with q very long tail is al
ways the forerunner Of the fornging
ants, appearing in huge hocks That is
the only time that these particular
birds are seen
The ants invade the houses In mil
lions on their cockrOach hunt. Whole
lunches will grab a big cockroach and
lug it or bodily They are like "A pack
Of wolves In their pursuit Of prey.
Every closet, every bureau drawer.
every crack and Crovice In every room
Is thoroughly ransac ked by the ants
until no more cOckronches are to be
found. One corps of ants will hunt
out the scamperlng reaches. biting and
passing them to other ants. who seize
and drug them away.

SAFETY FIRST ON THE PLAINS
Wild Beasts Learn Early In Life That
Man 10 a Creature to
BO Avoided.

1t Ii q siow-wittSd wolf that will al

nowadays Among wolves, says
Enos A. Mills In his book, watched
by Wild Animals" the "safety.nrSt"
motto appears to be: Avoid being
seen by a man; and never. never
touch anything that carries the scent
of man or OF iron or steel"
So thoroughly have wolves learned
that man is likely to be dangerous
that one night some hunters In Wyo-
ming were content to leave freshly
killed elk lying OH che ground In q
wolf-infested region, protected only by
a handkerchief they had tied TO one
Of the horns. Another instance a
hunter left O deer out all night In
wolf country and kept tho wolves
away noerNiy by rubbing his hands
over the CARCASS.
Coyotes also are wary; their keen
wits seem to b always awake. One
day q man carrying q gun strolled int
q hSld a. an isolated cattle ranch
where hunting was forbidden The
appearance Of the man differed from
that OF some men near By who were

While the gunner remained at least
one Of the coyotes sat where he could
overlook the Geld. Within q few min

Must Register SireS

The Sire Registration law
passed by the last legislature be-
comes effective on January l.
1928. The new law prohibits the
public service of sires for pay
which are not purebred and have
not been properly registered.
The date for the law to become
effective was set forward nearly
a year in order to give ample
opportunity to get rid of inferior
breeding stock without working

Ford Sales Recsrd Broken

According to a statement issu-
ed by the Ford Motor Company,
deliveries of Ford Cars and
Trucks to retail buyers during
the month of November totalled
LOG. 3N. This is q new high
sale record that has never be-
fore been approached by the
Company at this season of the
year and one which stands out
in marked contrast to the
November 1921 retail delivery
figures which totalled slightly
over so, 900 Cars and Trucks.
For Eight Consecutive months,
beginning with April LIST. of this
year retail deliveries have ex-
ceeded 100000 Ford Cors and
Trucks each month; the accumu-
lated total for the first eleven
months of 1922 being approx
mately 100000. While the
Company points out that it is
not unusual for the Ford retail
sales to exceed the 100, 900 mark
during the spring and early
summer months when the de-
mand is at its peak. the manner
in which business mas held up
throughout the year is proceed
ent.
Credit for this remarkable
showing is attributed by the
Ford Motor Company to the
many improvements which have
lately been made on Ford Cars
and practically to the new low
level Of Ford prices, recently put
into effect. These new low
prices not only broaden the
field of prospective Ford pur-
chasers buG go still further in
making the Ford Cars the best
value from the standpoint of
the retail buyer, that it has ever
been.
Although the Ford factories
have been operating at capacity
for the:past eight months, sales
have equalled oduction add
judging from the unus Il manner
in which orders are coming in at
this season of the year Ford deal
ers will be unable to accumulate
an adequate stock of cars during
the winter months for delivery
next spring.
In the opinion of the Ford
Motor Company. November sales
are an indication that many pros
pective purchasers, realizing the
exceptional values now being
offered in Ford Cars, are begin
ing to anticipate an unusual
spring demand and are therefore
placing orders during the fall
and will continue to do so
throughput the winter to avoid
Disappointing delays in delivery
later OH. While this will relieve
the situation to some exten, it is
pointed out that the steadily in
creasing demand for Ford Cars
is nevertheless sure to create an
acurate shortage as the season
advances.
Accordingly the Ford Sales or
ganization is urging prospective
Ford purchasers to arrange for
delivery during the winter
months in order that the demand
next Spring will be relieved az
far as possible.
