Waitsburg Breaks World Record for Quick Flour Making Wheat Is Cut Hauled, Ground and Baker Into BtacuJta in Twenty-Two Minutes. Plllsbury may have been there with the time record for an easterner when It came to getting standing grain from the field to the mill and thence to the bakery, with a record of (1 minutes, but westerners have the record brok en In a doaen different ways, and Waitsburg has the honor of carrying off first prlre, for in an attempt made yesterday afternoon to break the east ern record, growing grain was har vested, taken to the Preston-Parton mill, ground into flour and made Into bread and biscuits In the short period of 22 minutes, says the Walla Walla Bulletin. The experiment was an Interesting one from every point of view, but one of the main features displayed by the breaking of the eastern record, is the value of automobiles In connection with farming In the west. As soon as the grain had been cut and sacked it was loaded Into Mr. Preston's auto mobile and bowled off to the mill, where the transformation took place. The test to break the eastern time had been considered for some time and a large number of Waitsburg peo ple, as well as Walla Wallans. were present, a number of them having been photographers for newspapers and magazines of the state. Edgar L. Smith, of the Up-to-the-Tlmes staff was among those present. The record of Plllsbury has occa sioned much comment since Its estab lishment as It has been extensively used In advertising a special brand of flour manufactured in Minneapo lis, but to the Preston-Parton mill of Waitsburg is due the honor of having transformed growing grain Into de licious bread and biscuits In the al most unbelievable short period of 22 minutes. plums growing and this morning he said that between 60,000 and 60,000 varieties are ripe now. As the fruit ripens the plums, are tested, this be ing a very Important part In Bur bank's great work of making fruits and flowers produce their best The product of each tree Is being tested and. a a result of this Investigation Mr. Burbank will determine whether further time shall be spent with those varieties that are apparently not worth while. Some people will imagine, when they read the statement that Luther Burbank has 800,000 different varie ties of plums that his orchard must cover a wide area. This ts not so, for one tree, when grafted, will bear scores of varieties of plums. INK OX SUMMER TOGS. Inktlironver Turns Attention to San j Francisco Dandles. San Francisco, July 23. The Ink thrower who has been keeping fash ionably dressed women on Van Ness avenue In terror by ruining their costly gowns with splashes of writing fluid. seems to have turned his attention to the men for the time at least. Men who wear fancy summer suits of light colors have been his victims for the past two ' days, and more than One dandy mourns the ruin of his pet pair of light trousers. ' Lens Pelser, who suffered from the Inkthrower last night, says he was riding on the platform of a Market street car upon which also rode two small -boys and an old man of (0 years. When he alighted his trous ers were bespattered with Ink. He thinks the old man Is the criminal, for whom a dozen detectives are looking. ' Beat the World Affords.

Jewelry Protection "The ge ar il nubile Is uot aware of the carefully worked out system by which the large Jewelry bouses continue to protect tbelr splendid wares long after these bare been sold and passed out of their hands," said a detective, discussing daring modern burglaries. "Most large establishments dealing in precious metals and gems bave a care fully organized and very efficient de tective system, whlcb makes it easy for a patron to recover stolen goods without charge and with little or do delay in the institution of the search. In the safes of these large jewel bouses are minute descriptions of every piece of valuable jewelry which goes out from the establishment. Each piece is numbered too. When the gems are missed the patron telephones the shop In whlcb the' articles were purchased At once a special detective, thoroughly acquainted with the business in band and armed with a detailed description of the Jewelry;- is hurried to the scene of action. This Is without expense to the client" Chicago Inter Ocean. Something Hotel Clerks Remember, "There's lots less danger of the night clerk forgetting an early call left by some guest than most travelers imagine," remarked a hotel manager the other day. "The fact Is," he de clared, "the average night clerk could not forget one of those early calls If be wanted to. You know, It's a mighty lonesome Job the night clerk has. There is little for blm to do, few ar rivals to take care of and little to break the monotony of his long vigil. About the only fun the night clerk has is those early morning calls. Wben I was a night clerk I used to count the hours until I could start in on those early calls. There was nothing else to do or think about, and It would keep going through my mind what fun it would be to make some guest share my forlorn state by getting blm out of bis warm bed all sleepy eyed. I could not any more bave overlooked one of those early calls than I could bave overlooked my breakfast when the time came.H-CIeveland Plain Dealer. In the Jaws of a Lion.

A Woman Governor. Queens bave ruled many nations, but Pennsylvania Is the only one of tbe United States that ever bad a woman for governor. A passage unearthed from Armor's "Governors of Pennsyl vania," page 126, says: On the 30th of July, 1718, William Penn died, at the age of seventy-four. By his will his wife, Hannah, was made his Bole executrix and assumed the management of colonial affairs, ex ecuting this difficult task with rare tact and business capacity. 'She be came,' says Watson, 'in effect our gov ernor, ruling us by ber deputies or lieutenant governors during all the term of her children's minority.' " 300,000 VARIETIES OF PLUMS, HAS BURBANK.

The animosity . wbicb was supposed to exist between tbe Hon and the uni corn, as referred to by Spenser in his "Faerie Queene," Is allegorical of the deep rcoted ill will which anciently ex isted between England and Scotland. Ever since 1003 the royal arms have been supported, os now, by the Eng lish lion and the Scottish unicorn in token of tbe fact that St George and St. Andrew bad at last shaken hands and forgotten their old difference.
