NEW WEALTH IN CORN

The government has found upon fur
Their investigation that the corn crop
of the United States this year is 2,SS1,-
O96 900 bushels. 1t was predicted earlier
in the year by private investigators,
and indicated by government tables OF
averages covering conditions, that 1906
would bring to the country produc-
ton of the yellow cereal great beyond
anything before known. Last years
outturn was a record yield to that time,
but 1906 has overtopped 1t by close to
It's ,0OO, 900 bushels Thus in this one
crop there has been production of new
wealth that may be set down as APP
proximating $70,O0O,000, and this most
important promise for continued activi
ty and prosperity has materialiZed in
full.
While it is true that the country inn
mediately tributary to Minneapolis is
not a corn country, as production goes
in that great crop, there is, neverthe-
less, a considerable quantity produced
when comparisons with other states are
dropped and the production considered
with reference to it's size and value
only. Minnesota has over $4,000, 900
bushels this year, and South Dakota
will run above 5000, 900. North Dakota
makes a poor showing in corn, and
5000, 900 to 100000 bushels is probably
as much as she can show, but that is
no reflection upon that great agricul-
tural state. North Dakota Is not much
on corn, but when it comes to wheat
and that wonderful crop, flax, that
runs into big money, North Dakota
lays over the other states.-Minneapo-

MosLEM TABLE MANNERS

The rules set down by the old Mos
lem precept as to how to behave re-
ligiously and appropriately at meals
are interesting, though whether they
are devoutly complied with in times
of festival is doubtful Here are some
examples. Wash your hands and
mouth before eating. When eating
never put one leg upon the other, nor
put elbows upon the table, as this
binders good digestion. Never be a
save of your repast and never touch
any meal if you are not hungry. Be
ever content with what you find be-
fore you, and never give yourself great
pains in preparing choice dishes Be
always. il possible, at the table in
company with friends, as the prophet
never partook of his meals alone.
Always begin and end your meal with
Thanksgiving to Allah. Always eat
it'll your right hand and swallow,
before and after food, a little salt. 1t
shows good upbringing and is pleas
ing to Allah ever to put into the
mouth only small morsels and never
TO make any observations upon the
defective qualities of dishes. Never
cut bread with a knife, but, as the
the fruit offered, but take any au
husard. Never wipe your fingers with
bread. Avoid blowing on hot dish,
but wait until it gets cool. Eat dates
apricots and other similar fruit one
by one, remembering in eating them
thus The unity of Allah. Avoid at the
table drinking much water. Your
meal finished, use attentively the
toothpick, gather up the crumbs and
Lastly render thanks to Allah.-Lan-

DEMOCRATS FOR MAYORS

The incoming of a Democratic mayor
will seem quite like a normal event in
Los Angeles. Overwhelmingly Repub-
lican as the city is on national issues,
voters seem inclined to turn to the
Democratic ranks for men of approved
mayoralty caliber. And results prove
the wisdom of such choice.
1t is a singular fact that in recent
years the voters of this city have
come to realize the fact that Republic
can machine faint can best be avoided
by choosing mayors of Democratic an
tecedents. Anyway, a glance at the
mayoralty record. extending over the
years of the citys greatest progress,
shows tat the office of mayor has been
held most of the time by a Democrat.
Taking the last half dozen mayoralty
elections as a basis of analysis in the
foregoing proposition we find these
facts: In four elections out of the six
straight Democratic candidates were
elected to the office of mayor. Ten
years ago the voters chose a Demo-
crat; eight years ago a Republican;
six years ago a Democrat; four years
ago a Democrat; two years ago Re-
publican, and this year a Democrat.
1t is noticeable also that directly after
having tried the experiment of Re-
publican administration the voters
elected a Democratic successor by a
large majority. For instance, the Re-
publican incumbent in the term sue
ceeding Mayor Snyder's first term was
succeeded by Snyder, the latter having
an immense plurality. And Snyder was
so popular in his second term that he
was honored with a third one. Two
years ago Los Angeles voters made the
mistake, sadly regretted ever since, of
trying Republican administration.
The conclusion reached as a result of
that trial is seen in the large majority
given for Candidate Harper and the
coming of the Republican candidate
down the home stretch as a very bad
third i'm the race.
There is good reason to believe that
the Harper administration will be so
satisfactory to the people of Los An
geles that there will be no inclination,
three years hence, again to try the ex-
pertinent of selecting a mayor from
timber suspected of Republican ma
chine faint.

And cast my cap and bells away
And Merlin mused-a cynic he,
Embittered by his years of strife
And answered, Jester thou must know
The meaning of this wretched life.

A cup brimful of toll and pain;
A moment while you drain the cup,
And then the bubbles gone again"
But Motley, interrupting. said.
NAY, is it true that all is strife;
That here is naught but toll and pain.
That there's no good nor joy I'm life?
mo mellow fire no merry song,
To cheer the dreariest winter night
No cup Of wine, no wassail bowl.
To make the heaviest hearted light
mo hands to clasp? No friend to love!
No lips to kiss? No maids to WOO?
No thinking lutes? No twining dance
No fields of green? No skies OF blue
"Ah, Silver Hair, and must / say

This good old world In which we live
Is not fair world after all?"

Nor all the babble OF fool,

HICKS THE HERO

How true IL Is that zone touch of
nature makes the whole world kin"
An example OF that touch, and one
that Is peculiarly interesting at the
edge OF Christmas. is seen in the ear
nest sympathy manifested near and
far, In the rescue Of Miner Hicks of
Bakersfield. Rarely II ever has the
fate of a single Individual evoked such
widespread interest and such general
solicitude.
During the many days Of his impris-
onment in the buried tunnel the cur
rent news of progress by the rescuers
has been awaited eagerly by readers all
over the United States. Here in Los
Angeles, especially, it was hard for peo-
pie to wait from one newspaper issue
until the next one, so intense was the
anxiety for the latest information
And when hope was dashed at times
there were involuntary signs and de-
spondent EXPLANATIONS from many
thousands of ardent sympathizers.
As an instance of human endurance
under the most trying circumstances
imaginable the experience of the buried
miner probably is without parallel
That he lives through it all and pre-
serves his mental faculties is one Of
the most marvellous facts in the record
of human experience.
The same touch of nature to which
Shakespeare alludes calls forth uni
versal admiration for the working COM
rades of the imprisoned miner and for
the noble efforts of the Edison com
pany as we'll. But for the skill and
tireless labor of the rescuers, backed
by every means of aid procurable by
the company, the efforts at rescue
could not be crowned with sue
cess. Admiration for the work of the
rescuers, men and company, goes along
with joy over the expected final rescue
and congratulations for Hicks the
hero.

A NEW CURE For BURNS

Blind chance, which has so frequent-
ly given the clew to men of science,
recently led to the discovery in the
Paris Charity hospital of new cure
for burns. This remedy, it is claimed.
will cause burns to cease from being
painful as soon as it is applied and Will
cause injured flesh to heal with marvel
Gus rapidity.
DR.. Thierry, one of the surgeons in
attendance at the hospital, was In the
habit of using picric acid as an antisep-
tic, and his hands were, therefore, I'M
pregnated with the solution. One day
in lighting a cigarette portion of the
burning match fell on his hand, but in
stead of feeling it he did n. ;. notice the
slightest pain. short time after
ward, while In the act of sealing a
valuable letter, a portion of the burn
ing wax stuck to his finger, and,
though it cauterzed the skin, it was no
more painful to him than If 1t had
fallen on an armored glove of steel.
This curious lack of feeling set the
DOCTORS wits to work, and he soon ar
rived at the conclusion that the acid
had to use his own words, acted upon
the tissues and frightened them. he
then began a series of experiments III
treating burns with a saturated solu-
ton of picric acid. In every case ne
