Chico, Cal. If a man unearths treas
ure on his own property and there is
no evidence of the original owner, can

If person in this state finds prop
erty valued at more than $40 he must
under the law take the necessary steps
to discover the owner and must also
notify the authorities of the find If
the owner is found the finder can OBJ
tain from him the amount of expense
he was put to. but If he cannot dis
cover him, he must turn the same over
to the county treasurer, less the ex-
penses he has incurred The code

while there is asked by a gentleman
to dance and she does not know any
of the dances, or does not wish to

time not offend him?
If she does not know how to dance
she should say so. and if she does not

BY Kathleen

"HE spring is the season for cleo
tions in all the women's clubs, and
suggestions and nominations are
beginning to creep into all the
meetings. A few years ago, when the
office OF president only demanded spare
time and one or two handsome gowns,
there were plenty of candidates, but
now it is rather hard to find woman
who will undertake the responsibility
of this position. She knows that she
must read and think and plan and
study hard for the term of her office,
attend meetings innumerable, address
other clubs, be interviewed and pho
tographed and pointed out everywhere
and have something to say on every
conceivable subject. The president of
one of the city's big clubs told me a
few weeks ago that she had practically
to keep open office hours and that even
her Sundays were filed with planning
and reading for the club. If rumor is
correct, Mrs. e. L. Baldwin, one OF the
most gracious. and earnest of the citys
clubwomen, will be the next president
of the California club.
The regular fortnightly meeting of
the Papyrus club was held March IL
in the California club rooms in Clay
street. 1t was attended by about so
members. who enjoyed clever literary
and musical program. The singers on
this occasion were Mrs. Oto Romer,
Mrs. r. E. Revalk and Mrs. v. S. S.
Walsh. Mrs. Walsh sang McDermotts
Poet and Lark" Piano solos were
given by Mrs. Webster Wellbanks and
Mrs. Charles Smith. Stories were told
or short recitations given by Mrs
Charles Wolpert. Mrs. William Little.
Mrs. Charles Lutkey, Mrs. Charles
Stailman, Mrs william Adams. Mrs.
Wolgie, Mrs. w. r. Jones and Miss Ida
