SEEK S4O,OOO HIDDEN GOLD
 ON FARM

Kingman, Kas.-The farm of John Ford in the southern part of this county is the site of a buried treasure mystery which is periodically revived by persons who go there seeking a chest containing $4O,0 900 in gold.
 The story is still fresh in the minds of the older settlers here, many of whom say they believe the chest oc- cupies the cache where it was secret ed fifty years ago by an army pay master when he and his detail were attacked by Comanche Indians and later killed. The paymaster and his men were enroute to an army post to pay the soldiers
 They are supposed to have been camped near two big springs on the Ford farm when the attack was made Both springs were well known stopping places in the day of the prairie schooner and cattle trail and it is tothem the present day treasure seekers go in their quest of fortune on one point--the gold was buried near the springs but each person has a different report as to the exact To- cation.
 Years ago many Indians went there to search. inspired by the tale of an old Oklahoma Comanche, who claim ed to have been in the band that mas sacred the army men. But With hlS death the Indians stopped coming.
 However, the lure conttaues to at tract the white man ana scarcely a summer passes that sonae prospector fails to spend a few days delVing here and poking there t2 the earth about the old springs.

MIGHT GET TOO
 MUCH RELIGION
 FOR WORLD GOOD
BerReley-roo much religion would

BerEe1ey-Too much religion would nation and society would be at a standstill, according to J. V. Brett weiser, associate professor of educa- ton at the University of California, in a lecture at the North Congregational church.
 If all the world should turn re- igious enthusiasts,' said Professor Breitweiser, "and find pleasure in the service of love and in peace of the soul, society would come to a stand still. Progress would become impos- sible if the whole world should adopt the ideals which at times have been held up by the Christian church.
 t+An over-confidence in God some times surrenders the initiative of man, and complete peace or repose of the soul may imply a synonym for vegf- tating vacuity.
 we may well ask. Has religion been able to justify itself in its cost to society,"? If it has done so. we should inquire what forms of religion have paid the greatest dividends to society for the investment of energy and money put into it."

 Anyone can prepare simple mixture at home, at very little cost that will darken gray hair, and make it soft and glossy.
