The Mitchell capital. (Mitchell, Dakota [S.D.]) 1879-1918, 1912-08-08


Oak Bluffs, Mass.-This summer
resort almost fell off the island to-
day when somebody spread a story
that the titan haired Countess Irm-
bard Won Rottenthal has a new dance,
in which her costume consisted of
two fig leaves and an apple.
And it's true.
The coutess, who dances at smart
gatherings, has invented a dance call
ed The Temptation of Eve" In this
dance the countess carries a large
apple. This is to represent the apple
which made so much trouble in Eden.
The countess costume is cut in the
shape of two fig leaves. But they are
extra large leaves-large enough in
fact, to clothe the dancer. However,
it is whispered that the dance is so
startling that it will never do for this
quiet Summer resort. The countess is
going to try it on some other city
first.

At present it is utterly impossible
to tell what the total volume of ap-

will be. The leaders in neither house
are able to furnish an accurate esti-

Of the treasury, nor is it yet possible
to get an approximate estimate of how
much may be expected in the way of

But there is one thing as certain as
death and taxes. If anybody asks

and perchance the stone may be

Senate Passed Bill Placing Super.

Department.

Special to The NeCS.
Jackson, Miss, March 5.-The SEN
ate at its session Monday afternoon
passed the house bill placing super
vision of the inspection of foods, feed
stuffs and fertilizers under the depart
ment of agriculture and commerce.
Heretofore this important work has
been under the direction of the Agri-
cultural Experiment Station at the
A. G. NJ. College at Starkville, with
Dr. w. F. Hand, state chemist, in ac-
tive charge.
The change confers on Commission
ers H. E. Blakeslee power to appoint
all inspectors and other employees in
the field, and will give to the office a
new political prestige. 1t is generally
understood that Dr. w. F. Hand will
be retained as state chemist.
There will be no transfer of the
laboratory work from Starkville. The
state recently completed a new $75,OOC
chemical laboratory and science build
ing at the A. & M. College. The
change made by the legislature is
therefore only political in character.
