Did Pirate Lahtte Bury Treasure Here?

ID ISHOP, TL-1AS.-The legend that O the ill-gotten treasure of Jean La fitte, the notorious buccaneer of the early part of last century, Is buried upon Padre island has been revived. This is due to the finding of 20 long buried human skeletons in q sand pit on the bank of the Legua Madre, about fifteen miles east of here. Since then well-preserved pieces of ship timbers have been uncovered near the grew some spot. The skeletons were discov- cred by Thomas Steele and o. s. At wood of Corpus Christi.
 If this group of ill-fated men were members of the crew of Lafitte's treas ure ship the discovery of their skele- tons bears out the tale that has been handed down by the descendants of the native Mexican population of the Gulf coast region that the pirate chief did not go to Yucatan when he left Galveston island, but that he sought safety from his avengers by locating upon Padre island at point just op- posite where the skeletons were found.
 According to this tradition he brought his sailing vessel into the La guua Madre through the pass just be-

'It Was Steal or Go to the Poorhouse"

Mrs. Glover confessed short time later, and both accompanied Detective Fraser to San Francisco, where much of the stolen furs, wraps, coats and other women's finery was recovered.
 Among the more expensive loot taken by the two women in their op- erations at the Town and Gown club. Berkeley Tennis club, Twentieth Cen tury club and in University of Cali fornia buildings were two coats valued at $500 and s350 several furs worth in excess of $100 apiece and number of pieces of expensive jewelry taken from handbags.
 The two women, of motherly ap- pearance and silvered hair, made distressingly impressive picture as they appeared before Justice Harry Pulcifer for arraignment in Berkeley. They asked a hurried trial On tho charge of burglary preferred against them. In default of s2,O00 cash bail each, both are detained in the wom- en's ward at the Berkeley city prison.
 Marital discord has entered the lives of both women, who have grown chil- dren. they told the police.

Zion Now Our Nineteenth National Park

c AIT LAKE CITY.-Zion National O Park is now the nineteenth reser- vation in the national park system, by formal dedication as a public play ground for the people forever. It was set aside in 1909 as the Munkuntu- weap National Monument, with 15,840 acres. Tn 1918 1t was made the Zion National Monument, with 76.800 acres Congress created it a national park November 19. 1919.
 Director Stephen T. Mather of the national park service presided at the dedication. Gov. Simon Bandberger and United States Senators Reed Shoot and William H. King of Utah delivered addresses. Salt Lake City sent delegation of 300 citizens.
 Zion National Park is in extreme southwestern Utah. It Is reached by rail from both Salt Lake City and Los Angeles by the Salt Lake route to Lund, thence by motor stage a dis tance of a hundred miles. It is also reached by motor from either Salt Lake City or Los Angeles over the Arrowhead trail.
 Zion Canyon is the most important scenic feature, bisecting the park from north to south. It is 15 miles in length, varying in width from 90 to 2,5OO feet, with walls 800 to 2,O00 feet

 Among georgette blouses there are some lovely models in which plain and figured patterns are combined. One of these. as pictured, discloses this dainty and beautiful fabric in a fig- ured design partly yelled with the plain material. Plain georgette forms wide panels at the back and front and is extended into sash ends that tie at the sides, terminating in fancy bead ornaments on small silk cord. The el- bow sleeves are heightened hy shaped founces of the plain crepe, and there are tiny buttons set close together as a finish down the front.
 Now that little sparkling rhlnestones are twinkling on the horizon of winter fashions, we are sure to find them on blouses for evening wear, along with crystal beads, on georgette in vivid colors.

banks is now placed at $5O,OOO). Here
is the point: You cannot say you will
only lend $500 and that you will
make that loan to q class of farmers
who only want $500, while at the
same time here is a man who wants
$4,000 or $4,000, who is just as capa-
BILE of using that amount efficiently in
the production of food as is the other
fellow of using the $500.
"Since this bill (senate bill 31O9) has
been pending, the statement has gone
out from the joint stock land banks
that all applications for loans are held
up until it is known whether this bill
is to pass. My neighbor, MI. J. II.
Ups, was approached by q loan shark
and offered a loan of>$1O,OOO to take
the place of a loan that was to have
been made to him by a joint stock land
bank. The joint stock land bank would
have made the loan for 80 years, but
the loan shark only offered to make
his LOAF for five years. The loan
shark did, however, offer to make the
loan of $4,000 at 6 per cent interest
with only an additional charge of $500
for commission.
What Will Happen In Five Years2
But the question is: What will
happen at the end Of the five years?
When the influence of the joint stock
land banks or the federal land banks
has disappeared because they have
been killed by this bill, then what will
the loan shark ask my neighbor Upps
|. when his debt falls due? A million
farmers in the United States can make
a mighty good guess as to what will
happen. A million farmers in the
United States q foresee how the loan
shark will put the screws upon Mr..
Upps when the time for renewal comes
around.
ssThe farmer is willing and anxious
TO increase production. He knows that
the nation needs food. He knows that
the world needs food. He knows that
the nation is depending on him. He
knows that the world is depending
upon the American farmer. But he
knows also that he cannot make
bricks without straw If you want
the farmer to increase production you
AVE got to furnish him the tools. You
have got to furnish him the oppor-

There are many estimable citizens
who do not own a home, but that
does not disprove the fact that home
owning is a cure for unrest and the
nomadic Instincts. With persons of
small means, the ownership of a home
implies sacrifice and discipline. The
character of the home builder not
only becomes stronger, but he imbibes
unconsciously the essence of patriot
ism. He upholds American institu-
tions, because he is a part of them.
There may be other methods OF
turning ones savings to profitable ac-
count besides buying or building a
permanent home. But there is no 9TH
er method that gives more solid re-
turns in confidence for the future, in
family protection, and in Americana
cation of ideals.-Chicago Journal.
