SWEETS ATTRACT ANTS
INTO HOMES IN SUMMER

Brookings, S. D., July IL: A decided
preference for sweet foods, such as
sugar, sirups, molasses, %jellies, jams
honey, cakes, pies, ETC., is shown by
the four species Of ants which fire.
quently make summer invasions OF
dwellings or stores in South Dakota,
These four species are commonly
known as the tiny thief ants, little
black ants, little red ants, and little
brown field ants.
The little red house ant nests inside
of heated buildings, such as homes
stores, greenhouses, etc, and is much
more of a pest than any other species,
The tiny thief ant has been found to
nest in buildings occasionally. The
other two species lest outdoors but
enter buildings as visitants in search
Of food.
Many measures have been recon-
mended,b by CntCmologists for the Grad
ication of house ants but none are
more effective han the use of certain
poisoned sirups known as bats and
the carbon ~bisulphid treatment.
An excellent bait which repels ants
may be made by thoroughly stirring
three grams of sodium ~arsenite into a
third of a pint of Karo or any other
strip. With this bait it has been dem
onstrated that all ant visitations can
be driven away from houses in a few
hours. However, the ant colonies are
not killed with this bait and con-
~sequently reinfestation of the house
may take place. The bait should b.
placed in such situations as are reai-
lily accessible to the ants and may be
poured into fiat receptacles such as
covers of cans.
Carbon bisulphid, a watery liquid
which is ~infammable and explosive,
must be handled with all the precau-

ton Palace Exposition, stating that at
the request of Gov. Pat M. Neff OF
Texas he has written to the governors
OF all states asking them to designate
a young woman from their state to
attend the Queens Ball" which will
occur On the night above mentioned.
"As soon as you furnish US with the
name of the young lady who is to rep
resent your state, she will immediate
ly be assigned as the guest Of one CT
our prominent families and will be
met by them upon her arrival and en-
tertained in their home during her
stay in our CITY," says the letter.
1.-THE ladies committee will also com
municate with her, giving her full in
formation relative to the entertain
ments, etc"
The letter goes on to state that
these young women from the states
are to be princesses to the queen and
all are assured a good time. That
they will have a good time is assured
for the southern people as a whole are
splendid entertainers and the girl who
will go from South Dakota is assured
one
But here is the big question that
comes up. There is no appropriation
In the state of South Dakota to pay
the expenses of such a jNnket. How
ever, Governor McMaster believes
there is somewhere a young lady in
the state who desires to take a vaca-
ton and a trip at her own expense, get
her picture in the newspapers, meet
some of the first families of the great
state Of Texas, and have a good time
generally. 1t would be an experience
and aside of railroad fare there would
practically be no expense to the young
il she is fortunate enough to
possess a good wardrobe.
If there is such a young lady in
South Dakota, Governor McMaster
would like to hear from her. About a
year ago one young woman made a
trip of this kind az ner own expense
and had the pleasure of representing
the state at a similar function. She
too was secured by a news item in the
papers.

OF certain men who suffer. There are
nearly 10000 OF these men, u COM
rades. Five years ago they were
erect and strong, lively and hopeful;
with their lives just opening into the
years OF labor and achievement. Boys
OF America, with eager eyes, they put
on the uniform and went out in he

wives and sweethearts awaited their
coming back.
They did come back, those beloved
and pitiful 10000 boys. They came
back blinded, or with their bodies
shattered, or with their minds shad-
owed with strange horrors; they were
brought back silently, with the hope
of their lives put out. There were no
bugles at the stations for these men
coming home They were shifted
from beds OF pain to ether beds, or
they were brought home unhappy in

Planting Potatoes.

In order to secure a crop of good
potatoes for family use, proper care
must be exercised in planting the
seed.
Proper preparation of the soil is es-
sential. In order to produce smooth,
well formed tubers it is necessary to
have a seed bed free from hard clods.
Deep fall blowing should be prac-
ticed and a replowing Of the soil is
recommended, where moisture condi-
tons permit. 1t is also well to give
the ground a weekly narrowing from
the time of the spring blowing until
time to plant the seed. A light loamy,
we'll drained soil is best suited for
potato production.
Seed selection is another essential.
The Dest is none toe good, even If it
costs a little more. Secure certified
or other high grade seed, experience
in this state has proved that it is not
safe to use n other kind.
Don't get in a hurry to plant pota-
toes in the early spring. If the seed
is planted while the soil is yet cold
there is a possibility of more disease
developing. Field demonstrations con-
Quoted in various parts o fthe state
show that potatoes planted in June
give the largest per cent of CONNER
cial tubers.
The Oregon experiment station has
lately proved that the blossom End
seed pieces are the best and that
their vitality is lowered if this seed
piece is split. Potatoes should be cut
so as to save the blossom end seed
piece whole.
Seed treatment is another essential
practice. Treat the uncut seed six

herself looking back to a Christmas in
the long ago-a Christmas when she,
too, was under the magic that vas
everywhere today. But she did not al
low these thoughts to stay long; in
stead she made her mind dwell upon
the d%isillusiOn and regret that followed
so soon after that Christmas, and her
face grew more hard and bitter.
She had almost reached her home
when a letter lying upon the sidewalk
met her gaze. It was directly in her
path and she stopped a moment and
looked down at it. Her first impulse
was to pass on and leave it there-it
was none of her affair-then some
thing within her prompted her to stop
and pick it up. She read the inscrip-
ton On its face, written in a childish,
struggling hand: Mister Santa Claus"
For a moment a queer, twisted smile
played around the corners Of her
mouth and the hard, cold look left her
eyes.
Holding the letter tightly in her
hand Miss Weston entered the house,
and after taking off her wraps, looked
at it again. The thought came to her
to take it back and leave it where she
had found 1t, for there was something
about it that brought her a queer feel
ing Of unrest and a sort of half-fear.
But in spite of herself she found
! herself tearing open the inger-marked
flap and reading the written words
with almost eagerness. 1t was the
plea of q little boy to Santa Claus, not
alone that he would bring a toy to
himself and his baby sister, but that
he would bring some nice things to
eat for a sick daddy, and some clothes
and things for a mother who bought
little for herself. The letter was signed
Paul Hammond, age eight years."
Miss Weston sat a long time after
she finished reading the letter. 1t had
been a long time since anything had
stirred her like this childish letter had
dOne-there was something in the ap-
peal, coming as it did so 500 after the
disturbing thoughts Of the afternoon
that seemed TO be turning the world
that she had been living in so long, up
side down. Emotions which she had
thought were long dead within her be-
gan to surge through her being-the
selfish path that she had mapped out
in the coming years seemed to be los
ing its appeal. Was it possible that
she, who had steeled her heart through
all the years, was going to fall before
the letter of some silly child?
All through the afternoon hours she
sat, fighting a battle between her OWL
real self and the things that had held
her in their clutches so long, until, just
rs the winter dusk was falling, the
barriers that held her heart so lone
were broken down and the blessed
rains of love and faith and trust il
mankind flowed abpndantly over hel
parched and barren soul. Martha Yves
ton had won the fight-the letter of
little child, breathing faith in it's ever!
line, had brought back to her again al
the warmth of love and the joy of Civ
ing that had been hers in the long ago

upon her like a benedictiOn.

others need-her whole aim and am
bitiOn in life seemed to be the o n
fort and well-being of her own self. It
was whispered, however, that it had
not always been so with her; that in
the long ago she had been a very diff
ferent woman, and that an unfOrtu-
nate love affair in the long ago was re-
spOnsible for her attitude toward life
now.
Now, as she walked along this spirit
of selfishness was in her heart, so
deeply entrenched that not even a mite
of the Christmas cheer could gain en-
trance. But everywhere she went some
evidence of Christmas met her gaze,
until, thoroughly disguised, she started
homeward before she had half finished
her shopping.
The whole business irked her, but
SOmehow in spite Of herself she found
