Horned Gopher Fossil Received


An extremely rare fossil, the skull
of horned gopher which lived in
Nebraska in the later Miocene age.
about seven million years ago, has
been given to the Field museum by
Thompson Stout and Ed Hartman OF
Lewellen, Neb. This is the first spec
linen of this animal, which bears the
name of Ceratogaulus, to reach the
museum, and only four or five spec
linens have ever been recovered, ac-
cording to Elmer S. Riggs, associate
curator of paleontology. The spec.
linen is. being prepared for exhibi-
tion. This fossil rodent was much
stouter than the modern gophers, and
had on its head two hard sharp
pointed conical horns which it prob
ably used to maintain a grip on the
ground while burrowing. The animal
was about the size of grounding.
IT had two pairs of large grinding
teeth.

Lady MORA Forbes and De
Brissac Will Not Wed.

New York.-Society has new top
ic for speculation, an old topic for
regret since it was announced recent
" that the engagement of Lady MORA
Forbes of London and the Marquis de
Brissac has been broken.
The upper crust of three countries
was interested in the engagement and
anticipated the marriage.
Lady Forbes, twenty-five, is one of
the richest young women, in England.
She is the daughter Of the earl and
countess of Granard and the niece of
Secretary of the Treasury Ogden
Mills. The Marquis de Brissac, thirty
five. is descendant of one of the
most illustrious families of. France,
and great-grandson Of the Dowager
Duchess Dues, one of the grand
danes of France. ,.s.s.if
inserted Advertisement.
Why the engagement was broken,
no one in Paris, in London, or here
would say The marquis inserted a
paid notice in the court column Of
the London Times, saying, '"The mar
riage arranged between the Marquis
de Brissac and Lady Meira Forbes
will not take place." He declined to
comment further.
Dowagers with long memories re-
called that Lady Forbes mother, the
former Jane Beatrice Mills of New
York, caused a furry of English heart

BROKEN ENGAGEMENT

beats and heartbreaks before she set
tied her affections on the earl of
Granard, and they wondered If Lady
Forbes was perhaps taking after her
mother.
1t was widely reported at one time,
for example, that the beautiful Beat
rice Mills, heiress to the $40,000,000
Mills fortune, would marry Lord How
ard de Walden, who at that time was
the wealthiest peer in England. The
engagement was to be announced at
any moment, according to printed re-
ports on both sides of the ocean. But
no announcement was ever made.
Instead, Beatrice Mills married the
earl of Granard in one of the most
brilliant weddings of the 1909 season.
The event took place at the Mills
town house, 3. Goth street, Man
haitian.
Nor did the brilliance of her life
abate one jot when the American girl
transferred her residence to England
as British peeress. For years her
jewels were the talk of London.
pScribes asserted that she was never
twice seen in public wearing the same
gems Her tiaras were more brilliant
than those of Queen Alexandra; some
Of her gowns were literally encrust-
ed with diamonds.
At the opening of parliament in
1909, Immediately after her marriage,
she appeared in the press gallery so
dazzlingly arrayed that the then
prince Of Wales made special inquiries
to ascertain her identity On her fluffy
golden hair she wore crown with
- glittering spikes, each topped with
huge solitaire. Around her throat
there was deep collar of diamonds
and below that necklace of vari-col-
ored large stones suspended from
chains of smaller ones. Beneath that
was. a necklace of sapphires.
Annoyed at Joke.
There were some who said that the
countess 0stentation betrayed an an
noyance with certain Of. her husbands
friends who played a practical joke
on him just before, the wedding, and
told about it just afterward.
1t seems that Granard was a cap
tain in the Scots guards and no more
when Bannerman became prime min
lister and was called upon to form his
government. Thinking to have a joke
at Granard's expense. his friends sent
him a telegram over Bannerman's
name, summ0ning him to the prime
minister's residence and Informing
him that the prime minister wished to
make him lord in waiting. Granard
FASTENED to Belgrave square, where
the prime minister then lived, and
presented himself and the, telegram
to Zimmerman.
The prime minister, recognizing the
canard, but equal to the situation,
promptly appointed Granard lord in
waiting. Shortly afterward the king
bestowed on him the honor of master
of the horse, a coveted place in court
circles.
The countess of Granard might we'll
have resented the joke, even though
it turned out so happily, for all Eng
land and America heard and smiled
over 1t.

WHEAT LEADS THE WAY.

IN EVERY major depression wheat has
! led the way back to normally. Wheat
prices improve and other products follow.
As the farmer receives more money for his
products he begins to buy farm machinery,
family necessities, clothing, perhaps auto
mobiles. tractors and radios. These pur-
chases percolate through to the industrial
centerS where more men are employed. and
they, III turn, begin buying more food sup
plies and the cycle again reaches back to
the farm.
It happens this year the stage is set
for similar comeback through wheat and
the farm. We are bound to have one Of the
shortest wheat crops IN decade. OF the
1862. 900 acres planted to winter wheat, t.
4O5, 900 acres have been abandoned due to
adverse weather conditions. The recent
government report indicates crop OF only
44O. ISL 900 bushels, or about BAT ,OOO,OOC
less than last year, and about lOO,OOO,OOu
below ten year average.
Conditions 50 far in Canada are not al
all satisfactory for spring wheat sowing
Russia last year was exporting wheat on !
large scale, while this year she is importin.

higher domestic and world prices, not only
for wheat but for all other farm products
