Alfred Lutkin, extension entomologist, who states that several native species of ints commonly infest houses and play havoc with jelly, sugar, cake, bread, meat, etc. The Argentine am, j more destructive than the native, oc-'t uurs fortunatley in only a few cities, ; Suggesting methods of cohtrolling ants, Mr. Lutken continues: "Food supplies should in# kept in metal containers or regriferators, and the floors and sheh'es kept free of crumbs and scraps. Sodium flourido dusted along their paths, especially where they enter the house, is effective. The colonies can be destroyed by pouring into the nests smgll quantities of gasoline, kero-j sene or carbon disulphine and covering with moist eurth. "For poisoned bait, the most effective method of controlling ants, a .formula, prepared especially for the Argentine ant, is also very effective against most native species: , "Mix one pound of granulated sugar, 10.3 grains of tartaric acid (crystallized), and 14.6 grains of bensoate of soda in one pint of water and boil slowly 30 minutes, and cool. Dissolve 26 grains of . sodium arsenate ("C. P.) in 1.8 fluid ounces of hot water, and cool. Add the poisoned solution to the syrup and stir well. Finally add 2 1-3 ounces of honey and mix thoroughly. Use necessary precautions during mixing and handling to prevent poisoning of children and domestic animals. Expose the poison on small pieces of sponge or on pieces of waxed paper, in places frequented by the ants."

C., July 27.?A sew monster, described by fishermen as h "sea bat", which was captured ol'f Fort Fiaher, near Wilmington after a nine hour fight yesterday, will be offered to the state museum at Raleigh, 'Walter Winner, - local fisherman, said today. Winner, who has followed the sea ,for years, said the monster was unlike any other fish or mami\ial he had ever brought out of the ocean. 1 The strange creature weighs between 2,600 and !1,000 pounds, It is 111' feet wide and IK feet long. It is seve^fil feet thick and has a mouth three feet wide. The monster was caught in a net and gradually pulled ashore v^herc it died after putting up a terrific fight. Three times it broke huge 1 hawsers and started back to sea, '/only to become entangled in the net again. Scores of persons gathered on the heach to witness the battle of fish against captors. I j Two American tourists, identified as Henry Smith, 22, and Leopold Pal la, 20, are reported as being killed while climbing Fiamanti, in the Sarnthal Alps, without guides or ropes. Both fell more than 5,000 feet. V ' (Work has been started at New Orleans to remodel the old mint building into a modern Federal jail. . . . . i " ~ Josephus Daniels Thinks Back to 90's "In loss than' ten years from now people who buy farm land at present prices will be selling it to short- sighted men at large profit/' said Josephus Daniels, former Secretary of the Navy, in a recent editorial in hia Raleigh News and Observer. He sees nothing "hopeless" in census showings of large drops in land values as of 1930 compared with the values of 11)20. . For he remembers that something similar happened in the 1890's. "Older people will remember tho panic of 1894-6," he wrote. "Crops did not brnig the cost of production and the price of land went down to the lowest on record. People were afraid to buy it at one-fourth or less its former value. It looked then as if it never would come back.... At that time when prices reached bottom, the late iSenator Ransom used all his salary as Annbassador to Mexico and any other money he could obtain to buy farm lands. People said he was foolish in buying land when crops brought such low prices ....If his heirs had sold tho land bought in 1894 in 1917-18 they would have been rich." . JT Albert B. Fall, former secretary of the interior, is now No. 6,991 in the New Mexico state prison at S-ante Fe, where he has begun serving his sentence of a year and a day for malfeasance in office.
