At times the border between the
United States and Mexico becomes
a veritabIe "No Mans Land" as dan
qerous IS any territory that existed
in pioneer days. There Is a great
unwritten history Of the experiences
of pres ant-day settlers, rangers and
soldiers that is fine material for the
novelist, especially for one with the
talents of Zane Grey, who loves his
modern West, who has caught its
spirit, and who sees it in all its as
poets with a clear eye.
GAINESVILLE, Ohio, was his birthplace,
and he is descended from the famous
Zane family which figured so largely
In pioneer history. Although he passed
through the public schools Of his ma
tive place and graduated from the UNI
versity Of Pennsylvania with credit,
he had more fondness for outdoor
sports than for studies, and became
a distinguished player of amateur, COL
Iege and professional baseball. After
a short residence in New York city
he became attracted to the West and
adopting a writing career, has become
about the most prominent exponent in
America of ViriIe, western literature.
He is better able than any other novel;
list to present it's more stirring phases
Economically, Interestingly and with
out resortlne to ex~aggeration.

AMERICAN LEGION NOTES

Although plans are still rather in
definite and not ready for announce
ment to the public, the local Legion
aires are preparing for the entertain
ing of the State Convention in this
city next year. This convention. one
of the most important booked for next
season, will bring people to Five Mile
Beach from every corner of the state,
Many of these people had never heard
of Wildwood until the delegates from
here talked it night and day at the
convention at Lake Hopatcong a few
months ago. These delegates stated
we had the best of everything to offer
the convention. Now they are plan
ming to make good their statements,
They hope to give the visitors such
a fine impression of our resort that
they will return to their homes as
individual advertisers of the advan.
tages of Wildwood as the ideal sum-
mer resort.

TO THE VOTERS OF CAPE MAY
COUNTY

Thoroughly approaching the splen-
did testimonial vote of confidence ac-
corded me in the general election, No
vember Z, 1922, for Sheriff of Cape
May County, l am herewith publicly
returning my thanks to the entire
electorate of the county therefor.
While the high Office of Sheriff of
the. county is an honor well to be
proud of, the most pleasant memory
will ever be retained by me for the
many marks of friendship extended
me by the citizens of our county re-
CARELESS of party affiliations or par
tisanship.
Remembering the high standing and
integrity of the gentlemen who have
preceded me in this ancient and hon.
orable Office, and the esteem in which
they have been held when returned to
private life, it shall be my constant
aim to so administer the manifold
duties of the Office conscientiously and
in accordance with the law so that the
same appreciation and esteem may be
my portion also when my term of Of
flee shall have ended.
l shall appreciate at all times the
honor of having the citizens and tax
payers of the county, when in the
county seat, to remember that their
friend and their servant will be
pleased to extend all courtesies con
sistently and that all my friends will
be welcome as visitors and not other
wise.
The legal profession and others
having business with the sheriff's of
flee may with confidence look forward
to prompt and efficient service as
heretofore. Again thanking one and
all for the many courtesies extended
me, I am,
Yours very respectfully.

A PARABLE AND IT'S POINT

Secretary Hoover tells us that
Europe a and ought to pay her debt
to the United States.
MI. Hoover adverts to a fact which
we have had very much in mind and
to which frequently we have adverted,
namely, that a very small percentage
Of the cost of rafting the saber
through Europe would pay the ma
tons debts to the United States.
An editor of The American had
a friend who was a skillful man in
his own business and whose credit
was good at his bank. But one day
he wandered far afield in some specu-
lation and lost a lot of money and fell
into debt.
He went to his banker to renew a
note, never doubling for a moment that
the note would be renewed, because
his notes always had been renewed
without question. But the banker,
who had heard something of our
friends speculation outside his legit-
mate business, shook his head and
said: mo, l must insist upon pay
ment of this loan. 1 lend you money
because l have confidence in your
knowledge of your own Legitimate
business. I have no confidence or re-
spect for the collateral business in
which you are now engaged"
But" replied our friend, 81 am not
asking you to lend me money for that
business. l will get money for that
business outside this bank" Then the
banker said: "If you did not get the
money from this bank for your legitl-
mate business you would not be able
to get money for what I am bound TO
believe is your illegitimate business
for you would have to support your
legitimate business first. So, If re-
newed your note I would be enabling
you to carry on your illegitimate busi-
mes a little longer" /.
The banker was right; the refusal
Of that loan for the legitimate busl-
ness compelled our friend to abandon
his part in the speculative enterprise
and saved him later from the ruin
that overlook his side partners. :.
So, if we insist that Europe shall
pay her debts to us, she will not nave
money to pay for this s~washbucKllns
imperialism which sets little nations
onto each other, blindly forgetting OF
obstinately careless of the fact that II
is the little nations which strike inc
spark which sets the whole Worlu
afire.-New York American.

ness beyond.
This hour, when the day had closed
and the lonely desert night set in with
its dead silence, was n In which
Cameron's mind was thronged with
memories of a time long past-of a
home back In Peoria, OF a woma he
had wronged and lost, and loved too
late. He was a prospector for gold,
a hunter of solitude, a lover Of the
dread, rock-ribbed ininitude, because
he wanted to be alone to remember.
Then a sharp clink of metal on
stone and soft pads Of hoofs In sand
prompted Cameron to reach for his
gun. and to move out Of the light Of
the waning campfire.
Figures darker than the gloom ap
preached and took shape, and in the
light turned out to be those of a white
man and a heavily packed burro
Hello there" the man called, as
he came to a halt and gazed about
him. II saw your fire. May I make
camp here?'
Cameron came forth out Of the
shadow and greeted his visitor, whom
he took for a prospector like himself
Cameron resented the breaking Of his
lonely campfire vigil. but he respect
ed the law Of the desert.
The stranger thanked him. and then
slipped the pack from his burro.
Then he rolled out his pack and began
preparations for a meal. The camp
fire burst into a bright blaze, and Big
its light Cameron saw a mar whose
gray hair somehow did not seem 70
make him old, and whose stopped
shoulders did not detract from an i'm
preston of rugged strength.
Another Of those strange desert
p~rospectors In whom there was some
relentless driving power besides the
lust for gold! Cameron felt that be-
tween this man and himself there was
a subtle affinity, vague and underlined,
perhaps born of the divination that
here was a desert wanderer like him
self, perhaps born of a deeper, an IN
ineligible relation having it's roots
back in the past. A long-forgotten
sensation stirred in Cameron's breast,
one so long forgotten that he could
not recognize ii. But it was akin to
pain.
When he awakened he found, to his
surprise, that his companion had de-
parted. A trail In the sand led of to
the north. There was no water In
that direction. Cameron shrugged his
shoulders; 1t was not his affair; he
had his W problems. And straight
way he forgot his strange visitor.
Cameron began his day, grateful for
the solitude that was now u%nbroken,
for the canon-furrowed. cactuE-spired
scene that now showed no sign Of
life. While it was yet light, and he

sharply up by hearing the crack of
hard hoofs on stone. There down the
canon came a man on a burro. Cam
eron recognized them,

ing. "Our trails crossed again-that's
good"
Hello" replied Cameron slowly.
"Any mineral sign today?"
"No." q
They made camp together, ate their
frugal meal, smoked a pipe, and rolled
in their blankets without exchanging
many words. In the morning the same

HUNTING SUNKEN GOLD
Seek to Salvage Treasure Lost
at Sea In Great War.
War and Navy Departments Get
Many Requests for Aid From
Would-Be Salvagers-Trying
to Perfect Diving Bells.

WaShington.-Gold and other val
liable metals estimated to be worth
100000 lost by the sinking of
steamships during the great war are
to be sought by treasure hunting
companies now being organized in this
and other countries, according to dis
patches received in Washington.
Treasure hunting is spreading over
the United States, England and other
European countries just as it has
swept the world after every great
conflict.
Officials of the War and Navy de-
partments are being deluged with re-
quests for information as to the loca-
ton of vessels sunk by submarines.
The public records of the customs
service of the United States, England
and France are being scrutinized to
determine which of the submarines
and vessels carried gold and other
valuableS worth salvage expenses.
In France one treasure hunting cor
pOration is soliciting the public to
subscribe to stock on the grounds that
the venture may bring In a profit that
will reach into thousands of per cent

officials generally are not optimistic
concerning the chances of success of
the treasure hunting companies.
Probably the biggest treasure was
lost with the Lusitania which was re-
ported to have had nearly 100000
in gold aboard when she was tor
pedoed. The Lusitanla lies too deep
to permit divers to work ON her at
the present stage OF development OF
most salvage apparatus, officials say.
Engineers and inventors are work
ing to perfect new and unusual diving
apparatus, the records of the patent
office show. Super diving bells are
planned to cover the treasure which
lies too deep for the ordinary methods
of salvage. One inventor recently ex-
perimented with steel diving suit
to protect the diver from the terrific
pressure of the water at the Lusi-
tania'S Level.

Coors or windows; the logs were green

It had no chimney and no fireplace.
1t was occupied by the builder until

Main street location. For several
years this log cabin was known as
the Bascom hotel, and was the only
tavern in the village. Trail street,
where the first cabin stood, was so
named because it was an Indian trail.

The criticism and opposition to
Grant came to a head when the lib
eral Republican party was organized
with Horace Greeley, the famous New
York editor, trying to disrupt the
party of Lincoln and unseat Grant
The Democratic convention of 1872
was persuaded virtually to hide the
identity of the party and swallow
hook, line and sinker the platform Of
the new organization with Greeley at
icially was practically on record as
supporting radical protectionist-for
Horace Greeley was that-in order to
down General Grant. The platform Of
this curious coalition contained such
terms as "treachery" and "usurpation'
in describing the actions of General
Grant. Mr.. Cannon says that nearly
every newspaper of any size and in
fluence in the country was behind
Greeley and against Grant. The trou-
BILE with the coalition, according to
the veteran of scores of political bat
ties, was that the Republican boilers,
the Democrats, and others opposed to
Grant had little of constructive
nature on which any Of them agreed,
being united principally in their dis
likes and antipathies. The fight re
suited in Grants election by the larg
