ANT CONTROL-1he 1856 kinds
of ants in Mississippi are grouped
in two general classes on the basis
of their food preferences. Some
prefer sweets and may be controlled
with a strip like the regular Ar
gentine ant poison which has been
successful for many years. If it
is not sold locally, a sweetened poi
son may be made at home by dis
solving 4 ounces of sugar in a quart
of water and stirring in one-half
ounce of tartar emetic. The poison
is placed in containers accessible to
the ants. The ants which prefer
meats or greasy foods may be poi.
soned by rubbing small quantities
of tarter emetic on greasy bones o.
bacon rinds, OF strips of bacon may
be dipped into Argentine ant poison
Ant nests on lawns and in gar.
dens may be destroyed by making
holes down into them with a stick
or broom handle and pouring 2 OIL
3 tablespoons of carbon bisulphidt
into each hole, then closing then
with wet soil. A solution Of / ounce
sodium cyanide in a gallon of weatel
may also be used in ant burrows
but should be handled with great
care as it is deadly poisonous. Fol
large numbers of small ant hills il
lawns or gardens, scatter a fin'
mixture of l ounce parish green an.
pound brown sugar over the sol
at the rate of l pound to 10000
square feet.

WROTE OF WAR

n [ recall just now the article | wrote
Woout 16 or 18 months ago in which
said that l did not think war would be
in this nation under the next 18 or "a
months; that the war monster, Mr..
Hitler, would never attack the U. S.
for the reason that he, Mr.. Hitler,
knew his business; and if war was
ever inferred into, the U. S. propa-
ganda would be the forerunner of it..
I was not positive in the veracity of
that statement, but could not refrain
from writing it. Now we are in war,
and in it actually, not indirectly, bat
directly; not partially, but wholly, not
cowardly, but boldly, not specifically
but generally; not racially, but ma
tionally. I simply meant that much
would be said by the foreigners with
the intention of alluring the U. S. in
to the belief that "Peace" was the
objective of such sayings. And GER
tainly, it was done as per the state
ment. The remote statements Just

Canadian Censors Ban
Troop Movement News

OTTAWA, Nov. 20.-A new press
directive issued by the Canadian
censors yesterday will forbid publica-
ton Of troop movements within the
country and also the names of
divisional and brigade commanders
whose whereabouts might be a tip
to enemy agents.
WAR developments in recent
months have drastically changed
the picture so far as Canadian troops
on active service are concerned -
the directive said. "The defense set
up in the Dominion has been con-
siderably strengthened to meet the
increasing possibility OF attack on
our shores, ard certain sections Of
Canada, particularly the East and
West coasts, now are in effect opera
tional areas.
1T may be assumed that enemy
intelligence now is even more inter-
ested in the nature and strength Of
defense formations in Canada than
he Is in the Canadian forces over
seas since this latter category is only
q part Of the defense setup in
Britain"

Insecticide Blamed

Poison Believed to Have

Eggs Instead Of Milk
BY the Associated Press.

SALEM, Greg, Nov. 20.-A power
full poison, possibly an insecticide
mistaken for powdered milk and
used to cook scrambled eggs, caused
the deaths Of Al insane asylum in
mates, an investigation revealed to-
day, and Gov. Charles A. Sprague
| termed the tragedy mass murder" !"
The Governor said he had di-
rected the State police to 'leave no
stone unturned in their effort to az
fix responsibility. The possibility Of
homicide was studied.
Nothing was wrong with the
frozen egg yolks supplied the Oregon
State Hospital for the Insane by the
Agricultural Marketing Administra-
ton, Gov. Sprague said. THE poison
was evidently added in the prepara-
ton Of the food"
Analysis Showed Poison.
DR.. J. c. Evans, hospital superln-
tendent, said an analysis of the eggs
served at dinner Wednesday night
showed they contained a deadly poi
son commonly used in insecticides.
He cited the possibility that roach
powder, kept In a barrel in cellar
under the kitchen, was put into the
eggs during their preparation in
stead Of powdered milk, stored near
by. The powders are similar in ap-
pearance
He said an inmate kitchen helper
preparing the eggs left the pot un-
attended for or 10 minutes while
he went to the cellar in search Of
powdered milk. It is possible, he
said, that the poison could have
been put into the eggs during this
time.
Rats used in test by DR.. Frank
Menne, University Of Oregon bac-
teriologist, showed no Ill effects
after eating egg yolks taken directly
from cans Of frozen eggs, but died
