Urges That Burbank’s

friends of Santa llusa and Sebastopol,
but did you read the storv hv Luther'
Burbank, himself, in the June iOlh edi
tion of his personal friend's 1 mum, the
Dearborn independent, pul .he 1 by
Henry Ford? asks Julius Mym ,1 Alex
ander in a local paper. It should be
written into a little booked an mailed
to every resident of Sonotna ( minty. It
is a story of pathos, a story e.f a life
work, the toiling to an age when Time
shall stay off physical strong’ Thou
sands of dollars are being expended fm
a .Burbank “Memorial Park bun
dreds of dollars are being 11 for me
dallions and ribbons and 11a :■> for cele
brations in honor of an esteemed and
beloved man. Back there is another
story-—the storv of the seeming ulti
mate end of the life wor^ of om of the
greatest men the world has ever pro-,
duced. Luther Burbank has given the
story to bis friend Henry Ford that at
least a few might know his real sorrow
of heart. That little 16-acr tract of
land out near Sebastopol—* re valu-j
able for the generations to me than
all the gold mines of Ala: a. Hv my ;

corner teeming with trea 1 *. It is

Creations.” But, a few months ago
three acres of this land of wealth was
sold to a cemetery associate m and he
says, “A man now warns t<> buy throe
acres more of the Sebastopol farm for a
chicked ranch.” Mr. Burbank.is sell
ing it because of his declining physical
strength, and so must sell it all! So
we of this great age of progress and
development stand idly by and watch
the holocaust of destruction. A burial
plot for those who have pe »ed. away!
Ac acreage for the growing of chick
ens! What might be said! And Mr.
Burbank says:
“The thirteen acres of land at Sebas
topol would be worth to the world a
billion dollars an acre if all the new
creations upon this land were intro
duced to the world and put to use.” He
says that upon this land are thousands
of new creations of plant, fruit and tree
life. These to be destroyed for the
raising of chickens! Mr. Burbank
says: “When I am tired • sometin
feel that if the world does not care if
the best varieties op plant life the
earth has ever produced go to the
waste, I don’t care either.” Be also
3ays: have developed timber trees
that will produce hardwood lumber ten
times as rapidly as it could be pro
duced before, created new flowers, and
added sLe and fragrance to those al
ready in existence.” Oh, little plot of
land, of treasured wealth, to be de
stroyed because nobody cares! What
of our people, of our county, of our
State? Belies of the past we save by
appropriation, but we neglect the liv
ing growing wealth for the future. We
all know that it would make Mr. Bur
hank so very happy if we might but
save his creations. It would be more
to him than monuments of granite or

French to Punish
Women Dyeing Dogs
Paris T French Society for the

announced that, it will prosecute any
society woman who dyes hr r dog.
The threat ie the result < a new fad
which has spread like wild: >e. in fash

dogs to match the gown its mistress is

Many women have five or six dogs,
all dyed different colors. The sight of
red. green and yellow tonkins and
poor! les around the Ilitz at tea time is
not uncommon.
The last straw was added to the ex
