ANTS HAVE TRAITS

CUT UP LIKE CHILDREN AND
DANCE AS IF TO JAZZ; EVEN

There is a lot that is human about
ants. writes Louis H. Tolhurst and
Fred Gilman Jopp in Saint Nicholas
They play, cut up as do children, and,
when they wrestle or fight, it appears
for all the world as if they were dane
ing to modern jazz. They wash and
brush each other, stretching out IN
the process as much as to say, MY,
but that feels good" When they sleep
they often lie upon their sides or lace
down as do we humans. More than
this the moment they awaken they
wash and comb their hair without
having to be told!
From the high class ant, society
ants that never do stroke OF work,
TO those that prowl around, dwelling
where they can and living by the hunt,
incapable of more than the simplest
kind of effort, are the gradatlons one
finds in human society, from million
aire to /beggar. Ants even have ceme-
teries. and it is characteristic OF them
that the dead slaves are not buried
with their masters, but in another plot
The nests contain between ZOO,OO0,.,
900 and 400000,000 inhabitants, all
living peaceably together, all hostile
to any intruder, even OF the same Spe-

lust who is who? How do they
know? Darwin has said that the ants
brain is the most wonderful atom OF
matter in the whole world; but even
So if cannot be that each ant can re-
member every one OF its 4OO,OOO,O00
fellows. How do they know each 9TH
er?
And no apologies are offered to la
Dor when it is said that the ant has
the most highly organized labor union
in the world. The ant has to deal with
many of the modern problems that are
confronting modern nations.
Individual valor among ants is uni
versal. Had Napoleon had an army OF
ants he would have conquered the
earth. An attacking ant never loosens
its grip nor relinquishes for an instant
any advantage it may have gained
over an enemy. 1t may be that the ant
fighter loses its head, or some little
thing like that, but the severed head
goes on about the business OF keeping
its jaws clamped,

Officials Turn to Actor to Play Part

The motion picture section OF the
Department of Agriculture has sought
in vain among the 5000 employees OF
the department in Washington for a
man who knows how to act the part
OF an ordinary farmer in educational
films.
Several candidates were tried out,
but their antics ruined the picture.
Then officials went back to the farm
and hired regular farmer right at
the pillow. But when he got before the
camera he was overcome by stage
fright.
Finally the director engaged pro-
fessional actor, who has never worked
a day on the farm, and he played the
part perfectly.

KEEPING COUNTRY
"DRY" VERY COSTLY
ENFORCEMENT OF WHISKEY
LAWS WOULD COST $2OOOO0,-
600. NO SUCH SUM LIKELY.

If prohibition and liquor smuggling
laws are to be enforced to the letter
in the United States congress must
appropriate $2OO0O0,0OO for the work.
This is the conclusion of observers of
the governments drive to exterminate
rum row.
Enforcement Costs Millions.
This years enforcement of the pro-
hibition laws and the operation OF the
coast guard cost about $40, 10000, but
officials see little hope of an increase
in this sum during the coming year
despite the dry" war.
A survey of the situation discloses
that to afford alright protection to
the coasts the government must mann
tain fleet of nearly 100 sea-golng
cutters, 200 heavily armed patrol boats
and a complement of smaller craft.
1t would take from 1000 to 10000
men to man this navy" Almost an
equal number would be necessary Tor
enforcement on land.
Prohibition Navy Costly.
To create a prohibition navy of this
size would mean an initial outlay OF
$15O,000,00O 1t would cost $4,000 OOO
or $4O,0O0,OO0 annually for operation;
In addition at least $10,00000O would
be needed for land enforcement.
The tentative coast guard appro-
priation for 1926 is $20,000,000 or $8,-
100000 less than in 1925. Ten million
dollars is contemplated for land en-
forcement.

TRACTOR IS DRIVING
CATTLE FROM FRONTIER
FARMERS TAKE OVER 10000
FERTILE ACRES THAT HAVE
SLEPT FOR AGES.

The clang of the hammers, the
drone of saws, and the reverberating
exhausts of giant tractors are combin
ing TO beat out a requiem for an era
that is fast passing in TeXas-the day
of the frontier, the pioneer and the
sullen stretches of virgin land.
Down in the gull country the
ghosts of the men who broke the lex

Forty thousand acres OF land that

is Welding to the man with the plow
For ages it has lain sleeping, disturb
ed only by the tramp OF the occasion
al herds Of cattle that knew it as
feeding ground.
Today it blossoms with the promise
of wealth. Its hitherto unfenced acres
are dotted with shining new homes,
the homes of happy and prosperous
farmers.
But, symbolically enough, the Chap
man ranch still supports its herd OF
cattle. Twenty-six hundred head, a
pitiful remnant of other days, still
wander across the unplowed acres;
each day they are being driven back
and back by tractors, rumbhng across
the fields.
These cattle are making their last
stand. and fancy can conceive that
thew realize it, for they mill about I'M
easily and gaze with seeming resent
ment as the man-made machines rob
them of their own.
Great Estates Go.
The story of the Chapman ranch, in
its essentials, is the story Of all Tex
las-the story of the accumulation and
the later breaking up OF the great es-
tates.
Until three years ago the tract was
part of the old Laureles ranch, own
ed by Mrs. Henrietta NJ. King, one
of the country's richest women and
the owner of the worlds largest ranch
100000 acres in seven south Texas
counties.
Then there came a man who saw
and understood the opportunity that
awaited the agricultural pioneer, and
who possessed the wealth to capitalize
that opportunity.
P. A. Chapman, oil man of Waxa-
hachie, Tex, paid million dollars in
cash for the 10000 acres and prepared
to spend other millions in the devel-
opment of his holdings.
