1t Was a Buried Pot, Yes,
But the Gold Was Missing

Juan Ortiz, owner of Al Reposa
ranch, about twenty-five miles from
Laredo, Tex, is cured of his desires
for buried treasure and hereafter
will keep his gold in the bank in
stead of paying it out for SUPPOSE
titious buried treasure.
According to the story told by
Ortiz, two MeXicans came to his
ranch last November, and after lin
gering around for several days they
informed him that they knew where
a pot of old Spanish gold was locat-
ed. They told Ortiz that they had
come across some ancient documents
which showed wheSe this pot of gold
him the secret for 1880. In order to
make the obtaining of the treasure
doubly sure they finally offered to
help Ortiz dig the pot out of the
ground provided he would pay them
the $1,000 as soon as it was placed
in his possession.
The documents were purported to
be signed by Fray de las Cassas,
the great Spanish historian and ex-
plorer. The large pot was dug up
and given to Ortiz by the two men,
was not to be opened until 1870 days
after being found, otherwise the
treasure would disappear. The men
were paid $500 by Ortiz and turned
the pot over to him, to be opened
$50 days later When the time ex-
pired, Ortiz opened the pot and found
it to contain scrap metal The men
who had sold him the pot had gone

The unusual scent 'of a man dis

resses with equal enthusiasm, was
staged few days ago at Camp
Zachary Taylor when Private Ford
Eberle, of the LIST Battalion. 159th
Depot Brigade, was placed on trial
on a charge of bigamy before a
general court-martial. When Mrs:
Maude Tinsley Eberle, of Peru, Ind,
the first wife, entered the court
room the accused arose and the
couple embraced with affection.
When the second Mrs. Eberle, who
was Miss Mary Lee Kavish, PA
Ohio street, Louisville, entered a
repetition of the scene ensued.
The story of the alleged double
life led by Eberle was told by his
father, J. w. Eberle, OF Peru, Ind,
his second wife and his mother, Mrs.
Maude Tinsley Eberle declined to
testify when informed by the court
that as the lawful wife of the ac-
cused she need not appear as wit

Tennessee Girl Wins Fame and Fortune
Through Her Quaint Dried Apple Dolls

A dried apple as a means of celeb
rity, seems like a joke, but it isn't,
for Miss Isabel Million, of Knoxville,
Tenn, has made herself famous by
her dried apple mountaineer dolls.
She is an artist by instinct and
training, and loves the Tennessee
mountain folk. For years she tried,
to present them as they are through
sculpture, but gave it up.
One day, writes Barbara Craydon
in the Minneapolis Tribune, when she
was cutting up apples for winter
drying, she caught up a piece of
partly dried fruit that bore a strik
ing suggestion of a human face.
There were wrinkles marvelously
like those she saw in the weather.

wrinkles such as an artist might
find it exceedingly difficult to indi-
cate, even with the aid of the high
est ingenuity. Taking up sharp
knife she helped out the natural
suggestion, completing the form of
a head to accompany the quaint face
naturally formed by the shrinking
of the fragment of cut apple.
The result interested her very
much 1t was shown with delight
ed approval. There was, indeed, a
kind of magic in these lineaments
fashioned by atmospheric action. Aft
er repeated experiments she became
more and more skilful in cooper

Couple Wed in Plane
Soaring 1000 Feet
Above Cheering Crowd

With the deafening exhaust from
two twelve-cylinder Liberty motors
beating the wedding march, Lieuten-
ant R. w. Meade, of Cincinnati, Ohio,
and Miss Marjorie Dumont, of York
vile, Ind, were pronounced man and
wife more than 1000 feet above the
heads of 10000 spectators at Filing

The ceremony is the first of it's
kind ever recorded, and giant
Handley-Page bombing airplane was
required to accommodate the wedding
party of twelve persons.
Shortly after 4:30 p. m. the party
stepped into the huge plane and en-
parked for the skies with Lieuten-
ant E. W. Kilgore, first aerial mail
man between New York and Wash
ington, as pilot. and. Chaplain Lieu
tenant J. E. Rees, of Neven, Ohio, act
ing as "sure enough" sky pilot. The
ship left the ground amid the shouts
and cheers of thousands, and almost
exactly at o'clock the marriage
ceremony was concluded.
After the ceremony was completed
the pilot drove the ship for twenty
minute cruise through light clouds.

WASHINGTON, D. C.-Rum run
ming is rampant in the District of
Columbia, bone dry under federal
law.
Bootlegging is the most profitable
and most common law violation in
the nations capital.
You can buy booze within sight of
the building where sits the United
States supreme court, and you can
buy it within a stones throw of the
white house. All you need is the
thirst and the price.
A million dollars worth of whis-
ky is held by Washington police, or
has been destroyed by them. In the
Ninth precinct police station alone
there is stored $4,000 worth of
sands of dollars worth of liquor
is taken daily from the rum run
ners crossing the .district line from
Baltimore. And the police think they
are getting but a small part of the
liquor coming in.

trict. Usually the decoy auto
crosses first. If it is held up by
officers, the liquor laden car turns
back. Sometimes the first car occu-
pants .,start a row with the officers
and the second car tries to speed by
them.
Many whisky runners now bring it
near the district line and bury it,
intending to go out by trolley later
and bring it in by the bottle. Thus
far liquor carrying on trolley cars
coming from suburban Maryland
towns has not been interfered with
much. But the Baltimore traction
line is closely watched. This is the
line which used to run "booZe spe-
Gals" out of Baltimore, and it was
nothing for man to carry two suit
cases with liquor.
Now they are carrying the whisky
in rubber bottles strapped to the
person. One man was found with
eight rubber TASKS tied around his
waist Another wore two hot water
bottles filled with booze.

Bootleggers seldom are rum run

Miss Mathilda Carlson. of New
York, has appealed to Supreme Court
Justice Greenbaum to prevent her
nephew. Nils Fogelgren, and his
wife and daughter from occupying
a costly mausoleum which she built
for herself in Woodlawn cemetery.
In tears the aged woman told the
justice how for more than forty
years she and her sister, Sophia,
now dead, toiled as cooks, preparing
delicacies in the homes of New York
millionaires. that they might pro-
vide resting place for their bod
les.
Foge1gren and his family are
equally determined that the mauso-
leum shall be their last resting place
and the fight in court developed that
intense bitterness exists between the
aunt and her nephew and his fam

The League. Of Nations VIII go Visiting

a brief "honors tour" with two jumps
before settling down for it's long run

The first stop will he London. The
second stop will be Washington. Then

The idea behind this tour is to di-

Paris has had the armistice meet
ing and the peace conference and the
League of Nations covenant was
drawn up in Paris.
London gets the organization meet
ing of the league, which will begin
this summer, as soon as the peace
treaties are out of the way. This
may not seem like much, but Britain
also got the first secretary of the
league, Sir Eric Drummond, whose
name, as secretary, is the only name
in the long document.
After the organization is effected
the first meeting will be held in
Washington with President Wilson
presiding, just as Clemenceau pre-

CARE IN HARVESTING OATS

Because of relatively small acre
ages per farm. oats in the south
should be allowed to stand until fully
ripe; that is, until just after the
grain passes out of the hard dough
stage. However. if the area is small
and the Grade is used, the grain may
be cut when passing out of the milk
stage, as it usually is allowed to
cure for a short time in the swatR
before being bound and placed in
shocks.
Shocking should be done carefully.
Too frequently little or no attention
is given to the method of shocking,
and in the event of storms and rainy
weather much of the grain is dam
aged, whereas If the shocks had been
we'll built and properly capped little
damage would have occurred. Where
frequent rains interfere with the
curing of the oats in the shock, it is
advised that shock covers be used if

The honors are always divided up in
advance.
Colonel House will stay in Europe
after the president goes home. will
go to the organiza ton meeting of the
council IN London and will be the
United States first representative on
the council. Lord Robert Cecil will
be Britain's first representative and
the other representatives will in all
probability be the men who sat as
members of the committee that franz

governments change, SO as to be re-
sponsive to, and in full cooperation
