Santa Rosa, Cal, May 2S.-(Special)
Luther Burbank, the Massachusetts
farmer boy who became California s
wizard Of plants and flowers, now
looms up as the worlds greatest
scientific agriculturist and food pro-
Queer. .
Ex- Governor Pardee of California
says that the citizens of California
have earned more wealth from the
cultivation of Burbank plant creations
than was ever taken in gold from
the soil of this state. The United
States department of agriculture
estimates that the potato that Bur-
bank produced nearly fifty years ago
has earned $1T0O0,00O for the farm
ers Of America. 1t is also claimed
that every harvest garnered in the
vesters, yields q dividend from Bur-
banks fifty years of work in the
evolution and betterment of our COM
mon food staples.
By hybridizing a red with a red
and-white- striped bean, Burbank
produced a Jet black bean that bears
abundantly. He has hybridized pole
beans and lima beans, putting the
pod of one bean upon the vine of an
other.
He has produced numberless new
bulbs of extraordinary size, and a
pink chive-a decorative border
flower as well as a palatable table
vegetable. He has developed new
artichokes, one with flower heads two
feet in circumference, the edible part
being the pulpy portion at the base Of
the protecting bracts. .s
The sunberry was produced after
twenty-five years of fruitless effort.
The white blackberry was the result
entirely of cross breeding and selec-
ton. 1t is now fixed, coming true
from the seed. If formed in state
of nature 1t would undoubtedly be
pronounced a distinct species. Mr..
Burbank has also hybridized the
strawberry with the raspberry.
Today 95 per cent of all the plums
and prunes from California-miles of
carloads-are Burbank productions.
BY patience he made the stoneless
prune. Similarly he crossed the plum
and the apricot and made the plum
cot.
And Burbank has not yet finished
his work. Today he is developing en-
tirely new garden vegetables from the
bulbs of lilies! The bulb of the
tigridia, a bearer of beautiful flowers,
is regarded by him as the most delici-
GUS of vegetables when cooked. Others
especially the carnassia and the
brodia, promise to rival the potato.
He also believes that the dandelion,
the burdock and the thistle may be-
come parents of useful food plants.

MILO ASlHlNALp0, leader of the
= revolutionary forces against ths
- American government in the Phil.
ippines in the late nineties, may com.
mand a division Of Filipino soldiers,
who want to fight in France against
Germany under the Stars and Stripes.
This is the statement of Capt. j. H.
Manning who has lived in the Philip
pines since 1899, where he went as
an enlisted man in the 46th Infantry
of the United States Volunteers. He
is passenger aboard the Nippon
Maru, bound for his home in Ken
lucky, to visit before answering the
call to the eolors as a reserve Of
ficer.
Captain Manning has been on the
Manila police force since he completed
his two year enlistment in the army
and has held the rank of captain for
a number of years. At the outbreak
of war with Germany he entered a
training school for army officers and
successfully passed his examination.
He expects to be given an assignment
with the national army.
Captain Manning says that a Fill
Pine National Guard of $4,000 men,
an entire division, is being organized
among the natives OF the Philippines
and they hope to be accepted by the
American government and sent to
France. There are now 800 Filipinos
being trained as officers to take COM
mand of the Filipino National Guard
regiment, under the direction and in
struetion Of regular army officers. As
many more are to be enrolled as soon
as the present class finishes training
"Aguinaldo has been offered the
rank of brigadier-general in this divi-
sion and may be later offered an ap-
pointment as maior-general in SUI
preme command of the Filipino sol
diers," Captain Manning said. When
he left Manila the former rebel chief
had neither refused nor accepted the
offer of the Philippine government.
While German residents of Manila
are still allowed much liberty and
have been permitted to reopen the
German. club. about 400 sailors and OF.
ficers Of the former German ships in
waters have been interned
at a camp at Baguio, the summer
capital of the archipelago, Captain
Manning says.

Oil Shortage
Hits Hard 1t .
Loves Bakery
Solution Of Baking Question
May Mean Reduction in
Size Of Loayes

With the announcement of the
Union on company yesterday, that
they could no longer furnish tAem
with 100 barrels of fuel oil month,
Loves Biscuit and Bread company,
which bakes about half the bread con-
sumed in Honolulu, is now facing q
serious problem in the prospective
shortage of fuel,
Over 20 bakeries Of varying size
contribute to the bread supply of
Honolulu. It is estimated that be-
tween 10000 and $4,000 loayes OF
bread are consumed in this city every
day and Of this number $4,000 loaves
are supplied daily by Loves.
That the action of the oil company
win probably lead to an increase in
the cost Of fuel Of possibly 200 to 300
per cent, was the statement of the
management of Loves bakery this
morning. While this will not necessi-
tate q rise in the price Of the loaf it
may cab for reduction in the size
OF the loaf.
H. B. Weller, district sales man
ager of the Union OH company, stated
this morning that the monthly sale Of
oil to the Loves bakery was not on
an old contract and, in keeping with
the instructions received from The
company, had to be shut off. The
shortage of Oh in Honolulu continues
and only gasoline and kerosene are
now being sold on old contracts.
All OIL companies are pessimistic
about the prospect for relief of the
OIL situation which has been created
by decrease in the number of bot
toms which can be run to Hawaii.
Special ovens which have. been in
stalled in the new building now icing
constructed for Loves bakery are
equipped to burn oil and cannot burn
else without special recon.
struction which would be very costly.
The management of the Loves bak-
cry stated this morning, however. that
the oil used on the roads could be
used In their ovens, If 1t could be OBJ
tanned.

stated:

very high in the profession. If he had

Ludy would have been the first person
that she would have gone to for help,
because of his friendship for her; but
she did not do that; she stoutly denied
the whole story to him. Mr.. Henry,
who was Miss Berg's landlord, will
state, think, that Miss Berg told him
that she did not want Ludy to know

n UENOS AIRES. Argentine, Sept.
r. 13.-Following a day of riot and
- incendiarism, last night saw con-
tinuation of the indignation mani
tested by the populace in this city
against the German residents here.
Throughout the whole night mobs
continued to vent their spleen and
tie anti-German sentiment grew so
strong that the government ordered
the sti Gets leading to the German con-
sulate closed. and a military guard is
now holding the mob from wreaking
its vengeance on the building.
The official papers were taken from
the consulate late last night, and con-
signed to safety vaults.
Every German store and restaurant
In the city was wrecked, the police
ard military authorities being unable
to control the fury of the mobs.
One mob advanced upon the exclu-
lsiye German Club in La Union build
irg; it was entered, wrecked, the
building fired and destroyed.
The crowd then hurried into the
German business section. Here the
torch was applied and seYsraI blocks
or buildings. almost Entirely soccfpied
br German business houses, were de.
stroyed before the mounted police,
charging the mob, sent them flying
down through the side streets.
Another mob went right to the
house of the German legation and
this was stoned, windows and doors
broken in. but was not fired.
