they returned to Peru, recovered the
treasure and sailed to the westward,
intending to make Australia their
destination. Without papers, they
could not gain entrance to any port.
So they determined to bury the
treasure on an uninhabited island I'M
til such time as they could get a ship
with proper papers and return to the
island.
They scuttled their schooner on the
Australian coast and coming ashore
in the gulse Of shipwrecked sailors,
started for Sidney overland. Two only,
by name, Killrain and Brown, arrived
In Sidney; the other two having been
killed in a fight with bush natives.
Such is the story Of the burial Of the
treasure.
The tale Of the attempts for its re-
covery begins in 1912 or 1913 when
one day on the streets Of Sidney a
man by the name Of Thompson was
accosted by an elderly beggar seeking
aims. On giving the man a small sum

RIVER PACKET
DAYS RECALLED

Mark Twain the Mississippi packets
were celebrated for their leafs" their
famous races, their pilots and even
for their poker games.
1t used to be no uncommon sight
to see from 10 to 80 passenger YES
sells, from the palatial packet to the
weather-beaten tramp, leave the New
Orleans landing daily for up-river
points.
Voyages Were Pleasant.
A river voyage in the olden days
was a pleasurable affair If the boilers
did not blow up or the vessel hit one
of the shifting sandbars, mudlumps or
hidden snags. A comfortable berth,
wonderful meals, dancing at night,
watermelon parties, well-stocked bars,
stud and draw poker games for the
patrons Of that form Of amusement,
and last but not least, the antics of
the negro roustabouts, all combined to
make things pleasant for the traveller.
Saturday was usually the sailing day
for up-river packets from this port.
There was great rivalry between boat
owners and crews, and usually from
one to dozen boat races were pulled
off as the vessels chugged up the
river. 1t was then that boilers blew
up with marked frequency.
The most famous Of these races was
run by the Natchez and the Robert
3. Lee two of the largest of the river
packets. So keen was the rivalry that
early in the seventies 1t was planned
to have them race from New Or
leans to st. Louis. No passengers or
freight were carried and for weeks
the coming race was the chief topic of
conversation along the river.
The Robert e. Lee was in command
of Captain Cannon, while Captain
feathers was master of the Natchez.
No stops were made except for fuel.
The trip to st. Louis was made in
just a few hours over three days, an
unheard of record then, with the Rob
ert e. Lee the winner by a small
margin.
Promoters Are Curious.
Promoters now are figuring whether
human nature has changed from the
olden days, whether a person will be
content to idle the time away on long
trips which he could make In frac-
ton Of the time by rail; whether they
shave time" to take quiet pleasure.
Freight rates, interstate commerce
commission hearings, uniform bills Of
ladlng and other prosaic commercial
matters figure In the traffic side Of
the question. The passenger business
is regarded as a gamble.

MANY GERMANS QUIT BATHING
Find Hot Water a Luxury Because
Of the Shortage In Supply
Of Coal.

Berlln.-The hot bath has become
such a luxury In Germany, owing to
the shortage Of coal and the manner
in which the government regulates
the distribution Of fuel, that many
persons have ceased bathing. Others
have gathered courage for an icy
sponge daily, but this is not popular,
for the houses are generally cold, and
exposure in cold rooms after a chilly
tub paves the way for colds and
pneumonia.
Ordinarily a family can afford hot
water once every two weeks. Public
baths, where once a plunge or a tub
was available for a few pfennigs,
have been forced to close or raise
prices beyond the reach Of wOrkmen
and salaried workers.

chicks and houses often for lice and
mites, and II found they should be
gotten rid Of at once. Farmers Bull
letin lilo gives directions for fighting
lice and mites.
Feed Rlaht for Rapid Growth.
The three kinds of feeds most nee
essary for rapid growth are grain
feed, green feed and dry mash. A
grain mixture should be fed night and
morning, giving as large a quantity as
the chicks will eat clean, but no more.
A good mixture for growing chicks
consists of three parts cracked corn,
two parts wheat and two parts hulled
oats. Kafr corn or rolled or hulled
barley may be substituted for hulled
oats. A supply Of fresh green feed Is
almost as necessary as grain for grow
ing chicks. They obtain plenty of 1t
If they have free range, but If kept In,
confinement, lawn grass, beet tops,
cabbage, lettuce or other such green
feed should be supplied regularly.
Grit and oyster shells should be pro-
vided so the chicks may help them
selves whenever they wish. When sour.
milk can be obtained 1t should also
be kept before the chicks, as no feed
Is regarded better for them. When
this is given the amount of beef scrap
in the dry mash may be reduced one
half. Plenty Of fresh, clean water is
absolutely necessary, and in hot
weather it should be provided twice
daily in dishes that have been thor
oughly cleaned.
The bulletin emphasizes the impor-
lance of free range and shade for
growing chicks. They are necessary
if chicks are to grow rapidly and de-
velop into vigorous fowls When
growing chicks have free range they
obtain quantities Of green feed, bugs,
worms and other things, therefore
they require less grain and are less
liable to sickness and disease.

New Party Formed to Seek
Treasure of Bandits.
Wealth Of Gold and Precious Stones
Taken From Church In Peru Dur
Ing Revolution and Buried.

Papeete, Tahiti (Society Islands).-
Interest has once more been aroused
In the treasure reputed to be buried
in the island Of Pinaki, one Of the
coral islands TO the eastward Of Ia
hlti, and new association has been
formed in Tahiti to seek for the treas
ure.
The story is that during a revolu-
ton In Peru 60 years ago a church
was looted Of a rich treasure of gold
and precious stones by four men, who
succeeded In getting It to the coast
where they buried 1t In safe place,
afterward making their way to Pana-

Thompson was surprised by the re-
quest for his name and address.
Some time later he was summoned
to one Of the hospitals of the city.
There he discovered that the one who
had asked for him was the beggaF
whom he had hefriended some time
before. The old man told him mat
he had sent for him to disclose to him
the resting place of a great treasure
He said that he, Killrain, being the
only survivor Of the company and
about to die, did not wish the secret
to perish with him.
Thus It was that Thompson came
into the knowledge of the story and
sailing directions to locate the island.
Being convinced that the story was
founded on truth, he has spent eight
years in search Of it-so far without
success.
Lately, some people in Tahiti have
discovered what they believe to be a
new clue and are preparing to fit out
an expedition to go to the island.

KILL OUT DoDDER SEED

During the first season Of In
festation in clover or alfalfa.
dodder usually occurs in small
scattered areas. Such infested
areas should be either moved
and removed before the dodder
natures seed or else burned in
the field. If seed has formed,
burning is the only remedy,
since it kills not only the plants
but also the seeds Of dodder
which may be lying on the soil
surface.

1000 CenteTS Keep Boys Out Of
Mischief and Help Them to
Keep Fit"
WONDERFUL RESULTS SEEN
Summer Activities on Fairgrounds
Eliminate Swearing, Cheating and
Stealing Among Children
Fair Play Prevails.

New York.-More than 1000 play
grounds and recreational centers in
the United States are helping to keep
boys out Of mischief, teaching girls
swimming and other athletics and
showing adults how to benefit them
selves physically and mentally by
play.
The effect they have in keeping
boys out of trouble with the police is
emphasized in reports which have
come to the Playground and Recrea-
ton association from all over the
country as one of the most important
results Of the establishment Of play
grounds in cities. These facts are
given in the year book Of the assOcia-
ton just made public.
The chief of police of San Fran
cisco believes the establishment Of
neighborhoOd recreation centers is a
constructive measure toward sup
pressing the crime wave. He asked
the community service to extend its
recreation work because he believed
that the wrong use Of leisure time had
much to do with the increase in crime.
Cure for bad" Boys.
Granville Lee, supervisor of the

says that bad boys behave themselves
better during the playground season
and also that there are fewer street
accidents to children because Of play
grounds.
The playground directors Of Bay
City, Mich, have discovered that sum-
mer activities on the Fairgrounds
have practically eliminated all swear
ing, cheating and stealing among the
children. They note with satisfaction
that the spirit of fair play has helped
to put the playground bully where ne
