Buried Gold in Texas
cleveland News)

FO''r
One of the stories of buried treasure
known to every old Texan, and particularly
to Mexicans. is that relating to a vast sum
in Spanish gold and jewelry buried at the
root of a tree near what is now Summit
place.
The story deals with the victorious march
Of the Mexican troops under Santa Anna
III 1885, when, after the Alamo and after
Goliad, then vent to meet the little band OF
Texas patriots at San Jacinto. On the
march followers of the Mexican leader are
said to have possessed themselves of money
and jewelry in large quantities. Santa Anna
is declared TO have confiscated all this
wealth, intending later to restore it to its
owners.
But Santa Anna never had the opportun.
ity. Ceneraf- Sam Houston met the Next
cans Mt San Jacinto and before the sun
had set on April 81 the Texans had routed
the Mexicans. Santa Anna and a large part
of his forces were taken prisoners, but not
all Of them. The treasure-bearers are said
to have escaped and started for Mexico. On
arrival at San Antonio, where news Of the
decisive defeat Of Santa Ana had been re-
ceiyed, they were afraid to venture farther
with their previous burden.
Beside a gnarled oak to the north Of San
Antonio, yome distance from the Canine
Real. the men are said, to have buried the
treasure. This oak tree is known to many,
and even at this late date gold hunters have
dug In search of the pile.
On Salinas street, San Antonio, arc two
ramshackle huts accredited with holding a
fortune in gold and silver. One OF them, at
least rs years OF age, was once the haunt
of a band of French freebooters, whose
leader wore a huge black beard. These
men, the legend says, used to absent them
selves from San Antonio for days at a time,
and their return always coincided. with
stories of wagon trains being held up and
looted. The report says they buried much
of their loot in the floor of the adobe hut,
and searchers for it have appeared off and
on for a half century. The most recent
was a half-Indian medicine man who came
there from San Marcos about three years
ago This man carried a divining rod and
to locate the treasure by its means.

Always Food

Munitions, steel, GOAL, annon and
last but not least, food, are what must
be had at once for the Italians" read
the dispatches yesterday.
Food, food, always food, Is the cry
among Americas partners in the war
for liberty. Every ounce of food you
save puts an ounce more efficiency, an
ounce more determination, an ounce
more Of morale and physical energy into
the men who are fighting our battles,
fighting to keep the poison gas Of Prus-
slanism from ensuIfing the world. Keep
this actual concrete fact In mind; If
you, yourself, personally, will save the
flour equivalent Of one loaf Of wheat
bread a week by eating something else
rice, rye, barley, corn, potatoes-no
matter whether II costs more or less
and If every other American does the
same It will keep millions of French or
British soldiers alive, strong, and fight
ing like the devil to help out OUR boys
for ONE year. A loaf Of bread weekly In
22,000,000 homes means 1,144,000,00 0
loaves a year. Don't get the idea that al
unit Of millions Of men is negligible In
this vast war. There are 100000 In the
tremendous army with which the Teu-
tons have driven the italian back into
their own territory.
A loaf of wheat bread a week-about
two slices a d~ay-everyone doing it
and millions of men kept up to ef-
f~iciency at the front thereby. That is
just a start. Save meat, save sugar,
save fats-use something else, don't
starve yourself-and you will see what a
tremendous blow you and your country
men have struck at Germany.
In order for us all to do this we must
be organized.
We are being organized this week.
See to II that a Hoover card is signed
In your home, that a Hoover window
card hangs in your window, that a
Hoover home card hangs in your kitchen

ATrue Bear Story
(From the Pine Gomez

" NTIUHH tH0 IHO OVH5J
W boys were recently exploring" the
Sandals near Albuquerque. Walking along
the trail they were surprised to come upon
a dead bear. They approached cautiously.
The dead bear rose UP suddenly, blinked.
and said, "Woof!" The two boys arrived
in town soon thereafter.
w could hardly believe it was a real
bear at first" said they. I'VE didn't think
bears stayed where people had been, and
there had been SO many people along where
this bear was that all the rocks were
