BURBANK's AIM.
It Is to Do for Children What He Has
Done for Plants

st. Louis, Aug. 3.-Luther Burbank.
the famous California horticuIturist,
declares that the great object and aim
0k his life is to apply to the training
of children those scientific ideas which
he has so successfully employed in
working transformations in plant life.
The Rev. DR.. James W. Lee, pastor
of st. Johns Southern Methodist
to Santa Rosa, Cal, whittier he went
Tor an interview with Mr.. Burbank
He said TO Mr.. Burbank that he had
referred to his work In an address at
Portland, Ore, and had expressed the
wish that he might introduce into the
method of rearing children some OF
the scientific ideas that he was apply

plants. DR.. Lee says that Mr.. Bur
bank replied: THAT is the great oh
ject and aim of my life."
Continuing, Mr.. Burbank declared
that plants, weeds and trees were re-
eponsible to few influences in Their
environment, but that children were in
nnitely more responsive and the failure
to recognize the spiritual elements in
the environing conditions of children
had been the fatal lack in dealing with
them.
DR.. Lee asked Mr.. Burbank If he wa:

"HoLY GHosTERs" STARVING.
Members of Society Have Very Little
Food to Eat.

Durham, Me. Aug. 3.-The followers
of the Rev. Frank w. Sanford, leader
of the Holy Ghost and Us society, are
starving. Until two or three days ago
they lived on mush and water and corn
bread, but today, it is said. their supply
of meal is exhausted and they have no
money to buy more.
For the last week they have been liv-
ing on green peas and beans, of which
they have limited amount on their
farms. This green stuff they eat with
out butter or seasoning.
All of the crops at Shiloh are stunted,
and in few days they will be without
even green stuff. At present there are

wounds inflicted by his wife with a
pitchfork. Mrs. Bertram requested
her husband to buy her a new hat. He
refused. Hot words were followed by
an exchange of blows. Then the wife
looked for more effective weapon than
her bare fists. Her young son, at her
request, fetched her a pitchfork. In
her rage she piled the weapon so
