RECITES STORY OF
FIRST U. S. HIKER
Explorations of De Vaca Told
in Ancient Dook.
Claremont, Cal. —A rare volume
containing the story of what pur
ports to be the first transcontinental
foot Journey for a white man in the
conquest of North America, Is the lat
est addition to the William S. Mason
collection of Western Americans In
Pomona college library.
The book tells of the adventures
of Cabeca de Vaca, Spanish explorer,
in journeying through the southern
section of the United States between
the years 1528 and 1536, and of his
explorations in the River Plata coun
tries of South America after his ap
pointment as governor of the region
in 1540.
An expedition, of which Vaca was
a member, left Spain in 1527 headed
for Florida and Louisiana. It was
wrecked oh the Florida coast. Fifty
survivors drifted to the coast of Tex
as in rudely constructed boats and
made shore November 6,1628. All but
15 died of disease or starvation and
these became slaves of the Indians.
By a stroke of good luck, Vaca
staved off threatened death for him
self and companions by posing to the
Indians as a divine healer, usually
being able to cure minor maladies.
After six years, Vaca, with two
companions, escaped. They reached
the coast of California and turned
southward, arriving at Mexico City,
July 24, 1536.
As a reward for his exploring serv
ices Vaca was appointed governor of
the provinces of the Rio de La Plata
in South America. Here he Incurred
the jealousy of his compatriots and
w us sent back to Spain in irons, re
maining in prison six years awaiting
trial. Eventually, he was exiled to
Africa.
Two editions of the first portion of
the book are known to be In exist
ence—one in the New York public
library and the ether in the British
4Wiseum at Londop.

Dear Record Reader:
If a man could earn $3.00 a day but stayed at home and
refused to earn a cent you would call him lazy and good for noth
ing, wouldn't you ? Y .
Yet many persons will let their dollars'Tie idle although
each dollar has a definite earning power. They are allowing their
dollars to be lazy when they should be put to work and made to
help in earning a living.
If you deposit your dollars with this bank we give them a
position at a good salary by paying you interest. More than the
interest we pay you when you thus put your dollars to work is
the actual benefit derived, because you will begin saving other
dollars to add to the amount. .)
There are hundreds of good reasons why you should de
posit your savings in this bank and not a single sound reason why
you should not deposit. We invite you to open an account.
. , We want you to save. We protect your savings. We pay
you to save, and by saving with this bank you greatly help your
self.
** ' Cordially yours,
The Bank oi Goldston,
