SCAN FAMILY TREE
BEFORE MARRIAGE
Dr.. Q. .. Davenport, Euesnlo TX
pert, Gives This Advice 20
University Goods.

Speaking to 500 goods at the
University of Minnesota DR.. Chas
B. Davenport, head Of the bialog-
ical laboratory at Carnegie In
stitute, New York, and foremost
authority of the country on eu-
gencies, has urged investigating
the family tree of prospective
life mates before marriage.
DR.. Davenport talked on 1.-THE
Family and the Nation" and adj
vocated such restrictions of mar
riage as will insure the country
marital unions that will preserve
the strong traits in family trees.
What the nation will be in two
or three decades already has been
determined by the natural traits
now existing in you," said DR..
Davenport, ''but fifty years from
now the status of the nation de-
ponds on whom you marry.
DR.. Davenport showed the eff
fects Of heredity in physiological
traits, such as the color of the eye
and the hair, emotional traits and
the intellectual capacities that
have been exhibited in lines of
families.
He enumerated the Dwight fam
lily of New England as excelling
in scholarship with its eight COL
lege presidents and other schol-
ars, the Lee family in producing
generals Of war, and others who
in successive generations have
been proficient in craftsmanship,
music, literature and mechanical
skill.
1T is the duty Of those who
belong to the families of the
best strains to be careful in mar
rying to chose from families that
also show these strong traits"
DR.. Davenport continued. II think
that it can be properly maintain
ed that the process of falling in
love is not instantaneous but is
gradual, and there are very few
people that cannot stop in this
process and consider whether
such marriage will be altogether
desirable"
Referring them to his own class
Of Harvard, twenty-three years
ago, he said:
There has been a woeful fail
ure of duty in regard to mar

CORN

Corn fodder furnishes more di-
gstible roughage per acre than
any other forage crop grown in
America. Shredded baled corn
fodder sells for the same price
on tn Chicago market as meadow
hay. 1t is good roughage for
horses, wholesome and usually
free from dust.
Ensilage from corn is a stand
ard feed for dairy cattle and is
good for beef cattle and sheep
1t supplies a good substitute for
for frsh pasture grass in winter.
A succulent feed of this sort is a
great help in keeping up the milk
flow in the winter.
Corn is the best fattening grain
known and is relished by all the
classes of live stock.

FRENCH CLOCKS STRIKE

The clocks of Fance have struck.
This is.of course, exactly what well
conducted clocks should do but |
mean the word in the labor sense.
A few weeks ago all railway clocks
and many other clocks in France
received new faces. with the hours
from to "a instead of ! to IL.
People still puzzle a good deal
over the time of their trains, when
the railroad guide tells them they
must be at the station at "O:18"
(Which is l8 minutes after mid
night or "l7:l5" (Which is a
quarter past 5 in the afternoon.
But although the new faces of the
clocks show 30 or, II" they strike
IL or 5 as they used to. and no
attempt has been made yet to put
in a mechanism to make them
strike up to 24.-London Express.

LANDS OF NEVADA

The absorption of Nepada's
agricultural lands by the Mormons
and the consequent diversion of
Nevada's trade from San Fran
cisco to Salt Lake is one of the
most significant developments Of
the lastsyear in this state, accord
ing to R.. L. Fulton of this city

man on Nevada real estate, and
who says the wave of immigration
from the eastern states is just

REcoRD-BREAKING OUTPUT.
Copper Production in 1911 Passed High
Water Mark by II Million Pounds.

The year 1911 was one of prosperity
for the copper industry, both smelter
and refinery outputs being the largest
in its history, according to a report by
B. s. Butler, just issued by the United
States geological survey as an advance
chaptcrF from Mineral Resources Of the
United States" for that year
The average price of copper for 1911
was 1875 cents per pound, slightly below
the price of 1910, but near the close
of the year the price advanced, the aver
age for December being 1871 cents per
pound. Metal-market conditions contin-
ued to improve till the average price had
risen, in July, 1912, above IL cents a
pound, the highest price since the panic
OF 1907.
The smelter production of copper in
the United States in 1911 was / ,097,-
232,749 pounds, or SO per cent. Of the
worlds production, but while the pro-
duction surpassed that of 1910 by 1906
81 pounds, the value of the 1911 output
was but sl37 ,l540g2, compared with
