STORED
 STRONG ROOM

San Francisco, Jan. 20-When planting time comes next Spring there is one crop for which the seeds will be taken from a burglar and lI5eprOof vault in San Francisco.
 These seeds represent more than 6 quarter of a century of work by Luther Burbank. If lost or des- rroyed they could not be duplicated, at any rate not for year, and 1t was to guard against this that the Luther Burbank Company recently stored lem in the strcrg-rooms ot the Union Trust Company and the Seaboard National Bank.
 One seed is Q new kind of flax, from the oil of which artists will make their paint. Another is a cereal known as quino to take the plase of wheat, barley or oats.
 Painters have long complained that the oil which their paints are mix ed with is not neutral because of the variableness of the flaxseed from which it Is made, and conse- quently that it often gives uRexpect- ed and sometimes unsatisfactory effects. Burbank began gathering every kind of flax from all parts of the world years ago, selected cer- tain seed as his ideal and began developing the plant to grow only this type. Year after year the seed was planted, and when 1t was ripe only those were kept that were of the type dsired. Finally a point has been reached where the variety sems to have become fixed. Burbank declares that the oil it produces is absolutely neutral.
 The quino plant is designed to take the place of cereal foods made from different grains. The seed re- sembles a small hominy and the plant looks like a wild mustard. It is claimed to have all the food val ues If other grains, and is much cheaper. Moreover, in making clacAad wheat, rolled oats or barley n..ah of the grain is wasted. The entire seed of the new plant Is util- iZcl. Originally it came from South America, but it's development and cIimatization to California soil and weather conditions have taken years of study ard experiment. Of the nuiLo seeds of the type Burbank has produced there is not Q peck in the world.
 We hae put the seeds in safe de- posit vaults, said President James R. Edwards of the Luther Burbank Conpany, because if they are des- troyed they would never be repro duced. There are no more like them, and I doubt if Burbank would live long enough to develop them again. It will be several years be- fore we shall be able to raise suf- ficient quantity of either seed to be placed upon the market"

HUSBANDS FOR
 DU5kY BELLIES

San Francisco, Jan. 2O-Major Frank POoley, British army officer, retired, IS the busiest man in San Francisco. One hundred dusky bellies Of Easter Island iu the South Seas want as many white men for ausoluds and Major fooley IS here 70 ga- them and arrange for their lrau. pogC4UOn.
 Men of the desirable kind, said Major Poc.gy ill III advertisement inserted in & San Francisco newspa- Der, are scarce iu Easter Island. The women ouJuum0er the men three to one. The women want hus- bands and l am here to get them. l represent one hundred ot the best looking women oa the island. They are wealthy. Their husbands will not have to work. They will live in ease and comfort for the rest of their days.
 The next day more than 300 men appeared aL Major Poolye's head quarters In the Alaska Pacific $. s. company offices to qualify as South Sea bridegrooms. It was estimated today that more than 5000 white men have volunteered since the ad- yertisemcnt was first iHsrted.
 Some of the would-be husbands are lat. Others are lean. Dozens are shor. aud others gre tall. A youth Of nineteen weighing about 90 pounds Was anxious to know if the Easter Island beles are slight and slender creatuy-s. He nearly wepr when told ta- a.grage weight was lor less than IT. pounds. Hun dreds of letters from o,aer appl- cauts have been res-.-el by Major POOley. One signed A. TaDuer and A. Nossum read:
 We are both young and h4Ud- some but We are too lazy tc VIC. I''. Another signed by John Hunter read. "I am the very finest sgee- linen ot manhood to be found in the Uu,-eI Stg-es. ] am g. years old; eg, lacb tall, and weigh 29U pOu--s. I know I can lie around all q. F and be contented. Just give me tre proper instruction and I'll soon oe on my way"
 Nor .soo,ey is a particular per son and i# determined that only the best types of men shall go to the SouI. Sess. Out of the hundreds who nave applied only 70 names were placed among the possibilities.
 "I shall cake about 9 week long CT fo- tais registration, said Maj or F .5,ey. By that time I expect To d.re the names O. 800 physically peri. r men. Two thirds of these will .e then eliminated in the final selection ! nave the money fur n!sh5t by the women 10 pay all trausoor.aions. The uen accepted will travel sirsL class"

Lest somebody else gets ahead.
When everyone works and nobody

You can raise town from the

Your town will be what you vans to

It isn't your town---is's YOU.
