YOUNGSTERS BUY
LIBERTY BONDS

Three Elko youngsters today set an
example which 1t would be well for
others to emulate. They are the
children of Judge and Mrs. E. J. l..
Taber. Bill, Wallace and Dorothy. The
boys have been reading much lately
OF the liberty bonds and they con.
ceiyed the idea of Investing their
savings. thus doing their bit" for
their country. Last night they told
their desires to their father who read.
lily consented to the plan. He has
done his part, but he hadn't thought of
his children buying with their saw
ings. The idea of the boys appealed
to him so strongly that he decided
that II would also be the proper thing
for Dorthy, who Is too small yet to be
interested in much OF anything but
her dolls, so he invested her savings
too.
Accordingly. the three bonds were
bought ana paid for this morning.
There are probably few children in
the state the age of the Taber boys
who have of their own initiative be
come holders OF government bonds.
Young America, we salute you. Your
patriotic spirit is most commendable

SOUTHERN NEVADA HAS
AN OIL EXCITEMENT

An oil excitement has broken out in
southern Nevada, according to the
Goodspring Gazette, which says:
The announcement of the discov-
cry of oil near Moapa the latter part
OF last week created considerable ex-
element. The find was made in the
well being drilled by a number of the
citizens of the county who have be-
lieved for some time that there was
oil in that vicinity and occurs at a
depth of 1000 feet, The drill has been
passing through oil-strata for some
time and recently gas explosions have
been frequent, Indicating the presence
of oil, but the real article was not
discovered until Saturday, when about
a barrelful of the precious liquid Was
secured. While the showing is not
large the mere presence of oil indI-
Gates that the drillers are on the right
4 track and should encourage more
drilling in that neighborhood. Clark

du,er OF oil MS well as mining and
