BURGLARS ENTER
TWO RESIDENCES

Elko seems to still be the home of
an organized band of thieves who
are making great deal of worry for
Elkoites by their frequent depreEa-
tions. Last night the home of Lam
bert Henderson and Wallace ToomDs
were entered and robbed. The home
OF MIR. Henderson was first entered
while Mr.. and Mrs. Henderson, were
away in their automobile. They re-
turned at about six o'clock and
failed to discover the theft until
about thirty minutes afterwards,
when they were preparing for sup
per. They then noticed that some
provisions were missing and fur
ther search uncovered the fact that
about S12 in mony,was gone and
trunk had been ransacked. They no.
tilted the officers but could find no
clue to the identity of the thieves.
Mr.. Henderson thinks that the man
was in the house when they drove up
and had man an the outside who
served as lookout and when they
drove up in the machine the man on
the outside gave the alarm and the
inside robber escaped out the back
door as M- and Mrs. Henderson
came in the front way.
The Toombs house was entered
little later. At about o'clock, Mr..
Toombs, who was in the house
asleep, heard noise and getting
! gun. got up TO find out what the
trouble was. Ec found two men in
the house and was close enough to
distinguish their conversation, but
when he made the slightest noise,
they heard him and escaped out the
b. way and ran around TO the
front of the building. Mr.. Toombs
followed and fired two shots, but
could not make them stop.
1t is thought by great many peo-
pie that the same band of thieves
have been making all the raids
around town in the last few weeks
and the officers are making every
effort to run down the guilty parties

SOME SMALL BRIGHT
SPOTS IN WAR

South of the United States various
republics have been spending their
hundreds OF millions a year IN
EUROPE. To the American business
man, thinking OF profit and the fu-
ture and temporarily forgetting his
sympathy with Europe, it is some
comfort TO know that our South
American friends will now learn that
there is such thing as a United
States market.
We can ship goods to them; Eu-
rope cannot.
There is a prospect OF building up
American trade and holding it. That
is bright war spot
New ideas, new inventions, genius
undiscovered, will be found on the
map of human life after this wara
ends.
War is hell-while II lasts. But
war wakes men up. starts thought in
new directions, and this great and
horrible war, like others less dread
ful, will bring ne wohtghut and new
power while destroying life and val
ue.
II the war lasts little while, you
Will have new men of Genius arising,
new scientific thinkers, new develop
ments of the dying machine, the sub
marine and all ocean-going and air
going craft.
War with all its horrors means op-
ity. And opportunity comes tovibya
portunity. And opportunity to the
human race means nearly always de.
yelopment of new talent.
There is bright war spot in that
thought.
Selfishly the United States sees
here and there many possibilities.
Millions that Americans would have
spent in Europe will be spent here.
Many things that we have for sale
and could not sell easily we shall
E"" sell at acme or abroad.
While other nations are iighting,
shedding their blood, their money
and thir energies, we. SAT and lar.
away, are producing, manufacturing.
That is n bright spot.
But all of these bright spots are
very much like the spots man sees
after a blow in the eye. lie would
prefer to do without them.
This country, realizing that there
is solidarity among the nations of
the world, that the injury OF one is
the Injury of ALL would gladly do

change all possibility of selfish profit
