RED ANTS SWARM
The Home of H. R. Paige
Infested by The Petit
Saturday.
Big red ants swarmed last Sat
urday at the residenoe of H, R
Paige here, atid for lour hours
just literally covered the place.
Tliere were eleven beds of them
within a radius of one acre, and
all swarmed at the saine time.
Several of the colonies were hos-
tile to each other, and as soon
us t h?y got pretty well up into
the air, they began fighting and
fought to a finish. It wa8 an
aerial battle, the decisive con-
ilict taking place right over Mr.
Paige's residence. By this time
they were beginning to lose
their wings and settled on the
roof of the house, going under
the shingles and down into the
house, infesting the whole house.
Mr. l'aige and his wife had to
get busy and join in the fight,
and for four hours they battled
with the pests and finally turned
the chickens in the house to help
in the warfare. Mr. I'aigo says
he never saw anything like it, The
gutters around the eaves of the
house were half full of dead and
live ants, while hundreds were
under the shingles, in the house,
and in the cistern so thick that
he dipped them out with a dip-
per. He says the war has just
begun and ho hopes, with the
assistance of a supply of ' high
life" liberally applied, to exter-
minate the last one of them.

A Shoe For Every
Member Of The Family
"Our Family" shoes are "Star Brand" shoes, with the well-
known "Star" on every heel. They have solid leather soles, insoles,
heels and counters. No substitutes for leather are ever used.
I You can soak a piece of "Our Family" leather In a pan of
boiling water and it will still be as soft and as pliable as before.
This severe test proves that no better leather can be obtained.
."Our Family" ahoes are made of specially tanned box calf leather.
It is a large line, made in a varirty of styles and prices, for
every member of the family—from childhood to old age. They are
better shoes than any other manufacturer has yet produced to be
sold at the price asked for them.
Always ask for and insist upon having "Star Brand" shoes,
because
"Star Brand Shoes Are Better"
