war is over. The bells rang, whis-
ties blew, the birds sang sweeter seem
ingly than ever before. The trees
even seemed to wave their branches
for happiness. The people shouted
for joy, we talked, cried, laughed and
praised God for the victory He had
given US. We thanked him that
many of our boys were spared. We
looked forward to the joyful home
coming. Oh, how we longed to see
them. When a message came an
noncing their safe arrival in U. S. A.
we were overjoyed. We waited anx-
iouslf for them to come home. The
click of the gate, the bark of the dog,
the opening Of the door caused US to
run to see if or boy, brother or sweet
heart had come home at last. When
they did come we met them with a
joyful greeting. No doubt our hap
piness was inexpressibe. Our neigh
bors came to give them the honor just
ly due them then. Our boys were the
guests of honor anywhere. The
toughest, widest lad was hailed with
a glad welcome, no one would have
thought of passing him by without
a recognition, but how is it now.
Nothing is too good for them, we
heard some say. They deserve our
very best 1t was true, but isn't it just
as true today. Yes, they deserve our
best today. Our ex-service men long
for kind words. A smile, an encour-

soldier for God, now as much as they
needed it during the war to be good
soldier for our country. But some Of
us say now, but with different mean
ing, nothing is too good for some Of
our soldier boys. Why don't we be-
stow on them the same honor we gave
them when they first returned home.
Aren't they just as good? If not,
probably we are partly responsible.
They have associated with US.
Armistice Day will soon be here.
The two past years many of us have
passed it by with hardly thought of
memorial day. Why not make this
coming anniversary Nov. IL, happy

Seven Years Gold Hidden Half Gen.
fury Ago-chureh Despoiled
by Four Sailors.

Pspeete, Tahlti.-Romance is not
yet dead. Tales of buccaneering, muir
der on the high seas, buried gold on
lonely, unlnhabited islands and charts
and cryptograms of hidden treasure
troYe are not all inventions of imag-
NATIVE minds or legends Of a day
which Is long past.
Such a tale Is that of the treasure
of the island of Pinakl, whose hiding
place, after a patient search Of more
than seven years, has at last been
discovered. And now a schooner from
Tahiti has been dispatched to bring
away the gold.
Sailors Despol the Peruvian Church.
A half century ago four sailors, de-
serters from coastwise vessel,
Joined revolutlonists In Peru and
learned of vast treasure Of jewels,
plate and ingots, the property of the
church, which had been hidden in Peru
to prevent 1t from falling into the
hands of one of the warning factions.
Secretly, the sailors searched for the
church and moved 1t to another hiding
place on the coast.
Going to Panama, the seafarers, at
night, boarded a small schooner, muir
dered the crew and, after putting the
treasure aboard, set sail across the
Pacific, intending to make some Eu-
rOpean port later to dispose Of their
wealth. Recalling that they had no
clearance papers and probably could
not enter a European port safely, they
decided to hide the gold on some I'M
inhabited island and then get 1t later
in a vessel they would charter at Sgd
ney, N. s. w., for trading purposes.
Across their path lay the island of
Pinaki, in the Paumotu archipelago Of
the south seas, and at this uninhabited
spot they stopped and hid their loot.
One native, who observed them rom
