GIVE EUGENICS
CREDIT FOR HEIR
MOTHER ATE NO SUGAR ON DOC.
TORS ADVICE AND BOY BABY
BORN TO DUCHESS.

London, Sept. 9.-The baby born to
the duchess of Roxburghe is a boy
principally because his mother. who
was Miss May Goelet, of New York,
ate no food containing sugar for
months before his advent into the
world Sunday night In announcing
the birth of an heir the duke of Rox-
burghe admitted that his wife had
practiced form of eugenics and said
that they both attributed the sex Of
the newborn infant to this fact.
Desiring a male heir to the duke
dom, the duchess went to Vienna in
1909 and there consulted DR.. Leopold
Sehenck, noted scientist, who is a
world-famous authority on embry-
ology. He is connected with the Uni.
versity of Vienna and has given much
study to the prenatal determination
of sex.
DR.. Schenck advised the duchess
N'AN oAAS AOAAONVN 5.
The principal thing that he told her
to do in order to insure a male child
was to avoid all food containing sugar.
She did so, according to the duke, and
bore a son.
The baby is the first born of the
duke and duchess who were married
in 1903 The dukes brother, Lord
Alastair Robert Innis-Ker, had up to
the present been the heir presumptive
to the dukedom and its 10000 acres.
The duchess and baby are doing
well. The child will have the title of
marquis Of Bowmont.
The birth of an heir to the duke
dom has caused widespread joy in the
border country, where the family

PIERRE PEOPLE DISCOVER
VALUABLE FORAGE PLANT

Vermilion, S. D.. Aug. 21.-Tow Yer
plant has been discovered in the old
time bush known as the Spanish burn
ing bush" 1t is found to grow lux
uriantly where even the celebrated
Russian thistle will not grow, and re-
mains tender and green even after the
seeds on the plant have formed. One
bush seeds of itself an acre of ground,
and the plants even grow in the mid
die of a har road.
One family several years g in
Pierre used the bush as a lawn deco
ration, and since that time many va
cant lots and roadsides are absolutely
covered with the plant, which grows
about two feet high, and conical in
shape. The plant is a much more vivid
green than anything else iii foliage,
and should furnish a wonderful forage
crop, because it requires absolutely no
care, and apparently requires no water.
The Russian thistles, unless cut very
early, grow sharp and woody, as we'll
as thorny, but this bush remain as
tender as lettuce. In the very late
fall, October, it turns a warm red,
hence it's name. Not until 1T reaches
tina stage is it at all stiff or prickly.

Of town in some vacant lots appear to

BROTHERS REUNITED AFTER
SEPARATION OF 40 YEARS

Rapid City, S. D.. Aug. 23.-The Nor
ris ranch, neal Hat Mountain, was the
scene of an interesting reunion of two
brothers n a sister after a separa-
ton of 40 years. Recently a brother of
Mrs. Peck, the latter the mother of
Mrs. M. G. Norris, arrived from Okla
home to make his sister a visit. The
two had visited for a number of days.
when an unexpected telegram was re-
ceived from another brother-Dr. G. P.
Sherwood, of Pasadena, Cal.-stating
that he would arrive in Rapid City and
pay a visit to his sister and brother,
whom he had not seen for more than
40 years. The brother from Oklahoma
came to Rapid City to meet his cali
fornia brother and drive him to the
ranch. He expected to meet the doctor
on the arrival of the Omaha train. He,
however, arrived on the Pierre train O
short time before the arrival Of the
train from Omaha, and while the Okla
homa brother was hurrying to the
depot he met his Observation-Disclosures

nized each other. Later they drove to

SOME OFFICIALS TRY
TO MAKE TROUBLED
new PRINTING PLANS
Show Strained Effort in Raising
Technical Objections to
Proof Samples.

Pierre, S. D., Aug. pa new forage
are that some of the state officials
are not friendly to the big saving be-
ing made by the state in the matter
of contract printing and that they are
trying to make it as unpleasant as
possible for the contractors. At least
this is the confident belief OF sosle OF
those who were awarded contracts at
the recent bidding.
In sumbitting their samples to the
institutions the contractors find there
is a disposition to be very technical
in any manner that will make addl-
tional work and trouble. h slight
est type deviations, or minor changes
in the spacing of lines, are picked up
as excuses for rejection and
ing new proofs.
Some of the unfriendly spirit for the
new system is claimed to be due to
the fact that, in some instances, Of
ficials pulled down a little side money
under the old system of each depart
ment putting out its own work. For
that reason there seems to be a desire
to discredit the reform that has been
~inaugurated, particularly In the way
of making contracts Improbable for
those who made successful bids on very
close margins.

enter the practice of law in partner
,hip with Attorney r. L. Dillman, Of
The effect hat Judge Carpenters
resignation meant he would enter the
ace for the republican nomination for
congress in the Third district in OPP
position to Congressman Martin.
Practically every practicing lawyer
n the Twelfth district has been men
toned as a candidate for appointment
ter resignation. Two Of these, at least,
have denied any aspirations in that
direction. One of them is Speaker p.
]. Tscharner, late speaker Of the house
Of representatives, whose friends point
out that he is ineligible, because he
was a member Of the legislature when
the Twelfth circuit was created. The
other is Attorney Charles B.. Mccoy, of
Mcintosh, who has issued an emphatic
denial Of all rumors connecting his
name with the candidacy for appoint
nent to the place at the hands of Gov
ernOr Byrne.
1t is generally understood in pro-
gressive republican circles that IL N
candidate is placed in the field against
Martin in the Third district, Tscharner
will be the man to make the race.
1t is interesting to note that several
stalwart, papers, following close upon
