Getting Acquainted With America.

The United States has been getting
the greatest advertising during the
last two years that any nation has
ever received, and the results of this
should be reaped in foreign trade, just
as any merchant obtained custom from
an advertising campaign.
Since the beginning of the war there
has been a steady stream Of foreign
missions on tour in the United States,
headed by men Of prominence in their
respective countries. They have Wis
tied the shipyards, the steel mills, the
camps and the industrial cities, and
they have seen the miles Of fertile
farm lands and gained a new concep-
ton of the vastness of America and
its ability to put over big things on a
big scale. A convention Of the League
Of Nations In Washington will add
still more to this world knowledge of
Americas resources. The chief thing
now to be sought is the holding Of the
advantage gained.-Forbes Magazine.

Buried Treasures in Arizona.

What is believed to be the first clue
to the reputed buried treasures Of the
padres of the Tumacacori mission,
built by the Spanish Jesuits high up
in the Tumacacori mountains, less
than three hours journey from Tucson,
Ariz.. has been discovered by Frank
Pinekley, custodian of the ruins. It Is
the gateway to the mission cemetery.
From this gateway, 1t is said, the plans
and maps left by the padres start to
outline the way to the buried gold and
silver.
The Tumacacori mission was built
near what are believed to be the ruins
Of one of the Seven Cities Of Oibola.
The center region Is said to show evil
dences OF rich mineral deposits, which.
declare those who have inspected the
mountains. doubtless led the padres to
build tAeir mission there.

Paris (By MaiD-The signal
bravery shown by John w. Kearns Of
80 Carlton avenue, Bridgeport, Conn.,,
while working as Y. M. G. A. secre-
tary during some of the heavist fight
ing in France last autumn, won for
him the hearty communication of
army officers.
Keaans, who, in private life is an
engineer, went to France in the Y

himself promotion to be a divisional
