THE VERSATILITY OF CORN

THE VERSATILITY OF CORN We have read with no little interest and certainly with entire approval, the discussion recently going on between the New York Tribune. the Macon Telegraph, the Montgomery Advertiser, and other contemporaries anent the wholesomeness of ths johnnycake, 50 called. As to whether this delicious table dainty is better when concocted of white meal than when fashioned of yellow we do not care to express any opinion at all hide bound or dogmatic. We incline, we think, to the white, but we admit the possible goodness of the yellow, nevertheless. Perhaps that is a matter largely determined by environ ment, it seemingly being true that the people of the southern states prefer the white meal, whereas the people of the colder chimes to the north prefer the yellow, the fine food value of johnny cake being nowhere disputed, however. Ii the great American citizen would take time to consider the remarkable possibilities of corn-that genuine American product-we imagine he would give himself scant concern about the ugs and downs of the flour market anyway. It is astonishing how many different and truly nouristing dishes may bs prepared for the table, it never once being necessary to go outside of corndom for the principal and basic in gredisnt. Corn has as many moods as a summer girl, and divers and varie- gated are it's charms if properly search ed out. The New Orleans Picayune, several years ago, in investigating the matter of corn, and it's remarkable gas tronomic value, prepared for it's readers a suggestion of an entire meal of corn persuasion. We have fshed 1t out from some old newspaper clippings and pre- sent it herewith as tending to prove our plea in behalf of the genuine and all embracing virtues of this humble cer- cal. Here 1t is:

 Soup
 Cream of Corn.
 Relish

 Fried Cornmeal Mush
 VEGETABLES Corn on Cob Gin season). Baked Corn.
 SPECIALS.

 It is not improper to state, though de- tail is unnecessary, we think, that there may be added to this menu various ex- ht,irating and stimulating drinks, If you care for that sort of thing, brewed CT distilled from corn, there being s particular kind of corn beer, indeed, that is not only very gratifying to the palate but entirely and absolutely non intoxicating.
 So, why should wheat fluctuations and an uncertain -four market worry us when we can have all these good things to eat and drink--if we choose from the realm of the Corn King alone7 It is a goodly plant and it fourished in this country long before the pilgrims landed at Plymouth Rock, or even Col umbus sighted San Salvador. Moth ing is easier on the digestive equipment than corn foods, and nothing contains more of nourishment to the cubic inch than corn pone-or corn dodger. if you prefer. Why lament the high price of wheat when maize Is at our doors. ready, willing, and anxious to play such a noble and truly versatile part in our scheme of things.

S. p. TO RUN FOUR TRAINS
THROUGH SAN BERNARDlN0
Conpanv Will Build Line from Cotton
to Go by Way of Red
lands

SAN BERNARDINO, May 16.-Ac-
cording to the plans of the Southern
Pacific, that company before many
months will be running four Oh lts
overland passenger trains day
through San Bernardino.
In order to be placed on an equal
footing with the Santa Fe ana SAT-
Lake, whose through trains all pass
through this city, in the competltloh
for that passenger service the ooutLl-
ern pacific has now recognized the
Importance of running at least por-
tion of their trains to and from the
east via San Bernardino.
In order to do this it will be neces-
sary to secure a new right of way from
Redlauds to this city, as the county
supervisors several months ago denied
The request for the privilege OF stand
ardizing the present narrow gauge mo-
tor line between the two cities. De-
spite this fact, however, the railroad
comnanv is making every effort to Sc
cure a new and private right or way
over which it will run the throush
trains between Redlands and San Ber-
nardino.
F. B. Daley, representing the COM
many in the matter of obtaining the
new right of way, states it probably
will be arranged soon.
Under the plan the eastbound trains
will be diverted from the present main
line at Cotton, thus avoiding the heavy
grade from that point north to Red
lands. and also giving this city direct
overland service, eliminating the dis
agreeable transfer at Cotton. From
here the trains will go to Redlands,
Joining the main line at that point
Westbound trains will be handed IN
the opposite manner.

SAN BERNARDINo, May 16.--To
learn it had obtained frontage of 1850
feet on Arrowhead avenue which 1t had

chased the entire local holdings of the
Fair estate, is the sensational innings
of the Miller Mckinney company OF
this city. ~,
It sometimes occurs that when the
deeds are received the purchasers learn
they have paid for something they dlu
get. but this is the first case on fecoru
here of getting property worth thou-
sands of dollars that the buyer uloil
figure on when the offer was made.
Recently the real estate hrm coln-
pleted a deal by whicn for the eXchahsS
of $4,000 it was given title TO the @ @local
property of the Fair estate, conslslihs
of forty-five acres at Highland aFenu9
and Arrowhead boulevard. about
twenty acres at Highland avenue any
q street. twenty-one acres on Hlghlanl
avenue opposite the st. Elmo school,
and two 2O-acre tracts southeast OF the
citv on Waterman avenue. The deal
was considered an exceptionally good
one even before the revelation tnat Ihe
1630-foot frontage on Arrowhead ave
nue. had been included in the oeeuS
transferring the property. g.,
The buyers supposed the forly-hNe

OIL PRODUCER OF SUMATRA

VIII Look for Petroleum In Places

European Trip

F. Klein, a prominent oil merchant
of Sumatra, is registered at the An
gelus hotel and will make Los Angeles
his headquarters while touring South
ern California. Mr.. Klein also Will
make a trip through the middle west
visiting Kansas. Illinois and Oklahoma.
Combining business with pleasure, he
will explore many sections of this
country for oil in places which are con-
sidered barren.
Mr.. Klein reports the oil fields OF
Sumatra, Java and Borneo as eXcep-
tionally good, eXcelling in quality and
quantity much of the oil found in this
country.
He contradicts an opinion that the
cost of production of oil in his country
is much higher, both regarding trans
portation and labor. The larger part
of this production is shipped to far
eastern markets and a relatively good
price is obtained.
Mr. Klein will sail this summer for
a brief tour of Europe.

Acquaintance Permits Man to Occupy
His Room and Robbery Soon
Takes Place

SAN BERNARDINO, May 1.-THE
first downtown robbery to be reported
to the police for several months oc-
CURED early this morning at the opera
house barber shop in D street.
Seven razors made up the booty OF
the burglar, who committed the act
some time between l o'clock and day

1t is the supposition the man who
committed the theft was one who ear
lier in the night was befriended by
former acquaintance and allowed to
use his room, which is in the rear Of
the barber shop. The roomer met the
man on the street, and having known
him in the east, at his request for a
loan, offered to allow him to sleep in
his bed, as he intended to be away all
night The offer was accepted, and
although the man entered the room the
bed shows no signs Of having been oc-
cupied, and the police believe he en-
tered the barber shop and took the
razors.
