Horned TOads Have Their Friends

A rather interesting story about a
horned toad crept into the news COL
umnS some time ago and, being brought
into the limelight has almost accom-
plished his extinction, for O thriving
business Immediately grew up in the
western part Of this country In selling
horned toads. Tourists bought them in
great numbers and shipped them to
their friends at home as souvenirs or
Jokes. The fear has been expressed
that the trade In horned toads Is being
overdone and in some localities efforts
are being made to have the trafIic in
toads controlled. These animals are
valuable allies in the never ceasing war
fare between man and insects. They
feed almost exclusively upon destructive
insects and have been known to ex-
terminate colony Of the large harvester
ants,
They are in reality lizards, as shown
by their sealy covering, and not toads,
animals that have smooth moist skins.
They have short tails, while toads In the
adult state have none.
