BURBANK CACTUS HAS
COMMERCIAL VALUE

Luther Burbank is Duncan E. Nc
hlniay's solution of the high cost of
living.
All the noted economists agree"
ne said, that the chief item is the
nish price of meats. And they all
agree tina meats are high because
the western range is gone-beeause
the great plains that used to grow
cattle and sheep cheaply are now
turned into farms.
burbank has taken cactus-that
prlekly curse of the plains that used
10 grow spikes from one to three
lhches long-and made 1t so smooth
that you can rub your face with It as
you would with a glove. And hat
Is where its value comes in. Every
ounce of that cactus is just as good
Tor cattle, sheep. hogs and chickens
as alfalfa.
NOW, cactus grows naturally all
over the southern states. 1t grows
In sand, and takes 1t sustenanee
from the air. There are $500, 900
acres of land in the intermountain
states owned by the government that
VIII grow that cactus naturally. with
out cultiyation-and three billion
acres In the deserts of the world.
This Is what I saw at Burbank's
place a week ago last Sunday: One
single acre on which there were
1905 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 al
falfa could be raised to an acre.
Think OF the millions of acres
that are now waste. producing that
cactus instead of the impossible.
priekly stuff that they now grow
Wild. I tell you there is the solu-
ton of the cost of living. Burbank
has furnished it."

PEOPLE WHO BOUGHT SOAP
NOW WAITING FOR SHIPMENT

A fellow representing himself to
be an agent Of the ArmoT-Swift
Soap company of New York, Phila-
delphia and Boston, did quite a
business in the outskirts of this city,
at Qrmond, Holly Hill and other
nearby places about three weeks ago
and now the people who ordered soap
(and paid for it, are wondering Il
they are ever going to receive It.
One of the ho1Ksehoeders received a
letter, without date, stating that a
slight fire IN the warehouse had de-
layed shipment. This he thinks was
merely to keep him quiet whibe the
agent extended his operations. The
fellow was very liberal with his
samples of toilet soaps. AS he
worked only the edges of the city, i
is thought by some that he is tht
same man who took cash orders fol
rubber stamps from a number o
Daytonas business men about thre'
weeks or more ago, and they haT'
