Confessing a strong attraction Of

be served by the election of Wood

Louisiana will undoubtedly cast her

But many thousands will vote for
Wilson from habit, from prejudice,

Luther Burbank and the Cost
eff Iivina-

Luther Burbank is Duncan E. Nc
hinlay's solution Of the high cost of
living.
All the economists agree, he
said, that the chief item is the
high price of meats. And they all
agree that meats are high because
the western range is gone-because
The great plains that used to grow
cattle. and sheep cheaply are now
turned into farms.
Burbank has taken tus-that
pricl1ly curse OF the plains that used
% grow spikes from one to three in
sches long-and made it SO smooth
that you can rub your face with it
as you would with a glove. And that
is where It's value comes III. Every
ounce of that cactus is just as good
for cattle, sheep, hogs ana chickens
as alfalfa.
Row, cactus grows naturally all
over the southwestern States 1t
grows in sand, and takes its sus-
Eenance from the air. There are
$500, 900 acres Of land IN the inter-
mountain states owned by the govern
ment that will grow that cactus nat
urally, without cultiYation-an three
billion acres OF desert in the world.
This is what / saw at Burbank's
place a week ago last Sunday: One
single acre on which there were 2o56
tons of that cactus, and the plants
We're but three years old. Think Of
where the price OF cattle and sheep
would go if that much alfalfa could

Think Of the millions OF acres

wild. | tell you there is the solution
OF the cost Of living. Burbank has

Electric Lights But 80 Years old.

Electric Lights But 80 Years Old.
Just thirty years ago this fall
Thomas A. Edison opened the first
electric light station in New York
CITY. This initial plant, which was
the beginning of a mighty industry,
was located in an old warehouse in
Pearl street. The single dynamo,
now preserved asa curio, was driven
oy a steam engine and supplied cur
rent to about four hundred lamps
distributed over a territory about a
mile square. The wires were all laid
Underground. The newspapers were
dubious about the success of the new
lamps, although they admitted that
IneE gave plenty of light, but Edison
himself, coatless and collarIess as he
watched the machinery, was thrilled
with success.
The growth Of electric lighting
SINCE that eYentful day, thirty years
ago, has been truly wonderful, until
now the very world is Illuminated
nightly with millions of electric
lights. The first electric motor was
connected to the electric light wires
IN 1884 and for six months, it is
recorded, this same motor lay around
collecting dust before the company
could tlHd anyone willing to try the
new power producer. To-day, in New
York city alone, nearly 35o, 900 horse
power is used in electric. motors
