For some moments after Evelyn
left her. Polly watched the slim tg-
ure on the path to the woods. Then
she suddenly remembered Marcus Mac
Kenzie and without a backward
glance hurried swiftly toward the
south.
Meantime three squatters from the
Silent City were in the Bad Mans
ravine, dressing the fish they had net
ted the night before. One enormous
man was seated on a fiat rock, his bare
feet almost touching the water as 1t
hurried by to the lake. On his shoul-
ders, with his legs wound tightly
around the mans neck, sat a small
boy, little more than baby. He was
shivering with cold, and, as the spring
rain shot its drops upon his face, he
lifted q small hand and brushed them
away. Seemingly oblivious Of the
weight against HIS swarthy head, Ehe
man picked up fish and contemplated
It with scowl. Then he proceeded to
clean it deftly.
The silence was unbroken for long
time except by the rushing of the wa
ter, the gruesome running of the
knives over the fish scales and a little
whimper, now and then, frem the child
astride the mans neck.

Anybody who rebels against the
high cost of living ought to get back to
nature" he says. Don't do it, though,
unless you love nature and have the
gumption to rough it bit. Of course,
everyone can't be a trapper. You've
got to know the game and find the
right spot"
TITS wonderful life" said Mrs
Sutter. Were going to stick to it.
No more stuffy apartments for u.s."
The versatile Sutter is an ex-soldier
and was formerly in vaudeville, doing
fancy shooting. But he prefers out
door life to the theatre or the shoe
factory. His ambition is to go into the
rich fur country Of northern Ontario
and duplicate the performance of two
friends of his who trapped $4,000
worth of furs in eight weeks.

BACK TO NATURE.
Carl Sutter and Wife Solve Living
Problem by Going Back to Sticks.

Problem by Going Back to Sticks.
Back to nature has solved the high
cost Of living problem for Carl Sutter
and his wife. 1t costs them only Sc a
week to live. They pay no rent, no
coal bills, no gas or electric light bills.
Were happier and healthier" they
say. 1--WE have no worries"
Home for the Suffers Is a one-room
shack on the shore of Sabbatia Lake,
in the woods north of Taunton, Mass.
There Is a stove, a table, three chairs,
hooks for clothes and shelves for food,
dishes, pots and pans. Bunlss, like an
upper and lower berth, are built into
the wall.
., The family income averages SIS to
$40 week, earned by trapping fur
bearing animals. But they save all
over Sc.
Mrs. Margaret Sutter, slender girl
Of "a, with blonde bobbed hair, dresses
the same as her fusband-khaki
breeches, hunting jacket, sweater,
wooden stockings, homemade cap Of
squirrel skins or tam oshanter, and
home made moccasins. She also fish,
es and hunts and helps with the traps.
Sutter, who is q we'll educated man
Of 27, is shoe cutter by trade. Doing
piece work he has earned as high as
.$120 a week. r
whats the use of earning o. lot of
money and then paying it all out to
live?" he said. I'm making less mon
ey here, but we're getting ten times as
much fun out of life and saving mon
ey besides. a',.r
"Our shack isn't any architectural
triumph, but it beats city apartment,
even If it lacks radiators and open
plumbing. s.
TITS hard work chopping wood to
keep warm and cook Without it costs
nothing in cash. .rs
I'VE catch all the fish we can eat.
We shoot all our meat, except for per-
haps a dollars worth of steak or pork
week. The game laws gives us a
change of diet-rabbits, ducks, wild
geese. partridges, snipe, woodcock.
pheasants, quail, gray squirrels. Musk
rats are good, too-and can cook
them so you'd swear IL was rabbit.
ANY woman who keeps house can
see that food costs US little. We buy
nothing except sugar, tea, coffee,
spices, flour, butter, lard, eggs, bacon
and syrup.
Cost varies with the menu. Ny
records for a 10-week period show an
average weekly expenditure of $6-for
everything. Oil for the lamp and am
munition about complete our shopping

INVASION OF ANTS
Texas is Wrestling With New and
Danaerous Menace.

A destructive invading army oi
man eating" Argentine ants is march
ing on the capital Of Texas, according
to reports from Austin. Officials OF
the Texas state department Of agricul-
ture report a plan for extending war
fare against the westward advance OF
this persistent and costly pest.
Entomologists declare the Argen'
tine ant, pest in class by itself, a
menace not only to horticultural inter-
ests because it destroys buds. blossoms
and fruit, but also q source of great
damage to certain field crops and even
menace to human life.
Infants have been reported killed by
hordes of these ants. Federal investf-
gators have found localities overrun by
their hosts until homes and fields were
destroyed. human tenants driven Out
by insect invaders.
introduced into the United States
probably at New Orleans, by ships
from South America, this highly un-
desirable immigrant, a native Of Brazil
and Argentina, now infests other sec
tions of the country. The Federal de-
partment of agriculture recently placed
it's northern limit Of invasion at Nash
lsville, SITenn.,s the Eastern, advance
armies at Wilmington, n. c., and a
western group in California. Freight
shipments originating in infested areas
are responsible for the widespread ap-
pearance Of the insect, which has a
story that reads like fiction.
Building everywhere, beneath houses
or between the walls, in trees, under
stones, in compost heaps and many
other places the ant increases with
great rapidity. Most persistent Of al,
it destroys or drives out the native
species and penetrates to every crack
and Granny Of dwelling.
The worker ants are dark brown,
small in size, and almost omnivorous.
They will even enter ice-boxes and re-
frigerators in search of food, deferred
not at all by low temperatures. Poul-
try raising is attended by great diff
ficulties in locates they infcst because
the ants eat young chickens.
The worker ants are fond Of sweet
stuff. For this reason the orchard
destroying aphide and scale insects
which eXcrete honey-dew are given
protection. Frequently the ants build
protecting shelters over the fruit des-
troying pests, and often the workers
carry the aphids and scale insects to
the young tender growth Of fruit trees
so that they may more easily get the
fruit juices.
Millions of dollars have been spent
in Louisiana combating this ant In
the orange belt of Texas a systematic
campaign was waged effectively by the
state in cooperation with citizens of
Orange and Port Arthur. The towns
were laid off in districts and the ant
routed a distance at time.
Corn, sugar cane, and cotton are
among the field crops suffering from
the ravages of the pest. The workers
are said to attend constantly the ap-
hids and mealy- bugs attacking these
crops.

HOLTVILIE, April 2s.-For several
wears past it has been the dream of a
number of influential citizens, led by
Mayor C. ID. Hartshorn, to make the
water distributing system of Holtville
as GOOD as the best, if not better than
any in the valley. 1t finally crystalized
in a bond election which was held on
September 13, 1920, and the people by
n practically unanimous vote carried the
issue for $4,000. Then came hard
times caused by the slump in cotton, it
took some time to sell the bonds which
was finally successful and they were
sold.
