High School Notes

The High School this week loses two of it's students. Roy Thomas and Teddy Newman, throughsstheir enlistment in the United States Navy. Their ab- sence will be severely felt in every way-in athletic and so- cial activities as we'll as in school work. but it is fully realized by all that in these times the ser vice of our country takes pre- cedence of school ties and home ties. Their enlistment puts two more stars on the school service flag. now more than twenty in all.
 Last Friday a very enthusias- tic meeting was held at the High School to boost the Liberty Loan. Great enthusiasm was aroused by the speakers, Judge Thomas. Mrs. Jordan and Mrs. Flanigan. Every student was pledged to use his utmost en- deavor to assist the loan. In the evening. the High School Band raised nearly twenty dol lars more for the Junior Red Cross fund, now amounting to oyer forty dollars in all.
 Wesley Newman and Harold DiYelbess are the Flag Commit tee this week.

Of Interest to Homesteaders

Congress has recently passed an act known as 'The Act of December 2Oth, 1917" granting leaves of absence, during the pendency of the existing war, to homesteaders, to enable them to engage in farm labor on lands other than those embraced in their homestead claims, which labor may be in connection with lands owned by themselves. Every person intending to avail himself of the privileges of this Act must. within fifteen days after leaving his homestead, file at the United States Land Office a notice that he has left the land, pursuant to the provisions of said Act, for the purpose of performing farm labor else where. On or before February 1st of each year he must file at said office a written statement. under oath, corroborated by two witnesses. with regard to such absences during the last preced- ing calendar year. Said state ment must contain the date or dates when he left his claim, the date or dates of his return thereto, also the name or names of the places where he was en- gagged in farm labor during the period or periods of his absence, and the name or names of the persons for whom such labor was performed. Unless he com plles with these conditions he will not be entitled to the bene- fit of the Act.
 The Act does not excuse the homesteader from full conpli- ance with the law with respect to cultivation of his land and the erection of a habitable house thereon.

War Bulletin Club

Through the instrumentality

Wildcdttine

Greybull (Wyo,) Standard: Many persons when they hear the word ''wildcatting," used in connection with oil companies, get the idea that the company is a fake. There is nothing far ther from the truth. The term "wildcatting" is used in connec- tion with a company that is prospecting for oil. The con- pany is of the opinion that oil exists in the locality where it is drilling and the only way that It can be determined whether there is or not is by going down into the earth to ascertain. The company is spending money to find it, for by no other way can it be found. People should give the correct meaning of the term "wildcatting" and not confound it with something that is not honest.
 "Wildcatting" developed Wyoming into one of the great est oil producing states of the Union. and is continuing to de- veIop it.

German Lies Nailed

German propagandists
 have been busy since the en.
 try of the United States into
 the war. Falsehoods of
 every character have been
 spread over every section of
 the country with the idea of
 abusing the confidence of
 the American people. So
 persistent has been the cir culation of these carefully moulded pro-German lies that an official exposure of them has been issued as a pamphlet, entitled "The Kaiserite in America" by the Committee on Public h. formation, 8 Jackson Place, Washington, D. c. A copy of this pamphlet may be had free if inquiry will be direct ed to the Committee.
 Tales have been current about interned German pri- soners being fed five meals a day, about Red Cross sup plies being sold to shopkeep- CTS by dishonest officials, by criminal waste of food at training camps and many other like falsehoods either designed to discourage vol unteer Red Cross work and the loyal efforts of house keepers to save food or cal culated to create a trouble some distrust of the Govern 
 The circulation of these stories is often due to the folly of a citizen who wishes to appear to have inside information" and who either innocenly or intentionally starts a lie that rapidly grows worse as it spreads.

WEEKLY CREST OF EVENTS That HaUe Been Noted by The Nel0s' Staff for the Edifcation or Its Readers. Really Worth q Perusal.
Loan Quota Fixed

Word comes from San Francis co that the qnota for the severa counties in Arizona for the Thirc Liberty Loan have been decided upon. The officials in the Bay City advise all local committees against undue confidence in SC, curing the amounts asked. It is anticipated that some communi- ties will be inclined to relax their efforts as the quotas asked for this time are less than for the Second Loan. It is pointed out that there is need of making this Third Loan one of all the people.
 It is suggested that the num- Der of subscribers be doubled as compared with the figures for the Second Liberty Loan drive; also that the amount be over subscribed by a large sum. The value of freely subscribing to Liberty Loans as against paying the cost of the war in taxas is apparant to all. For taxes you get nothing but a receipt. This is of no value. It bears no in- terest. The Liberty Bond is an interest-bearing security and when the bond natures, the full amount of the face value of the bond IS paid owner. A big con- trast to the taxation method.
 Of course, certain moneys must be secured by taxation. It would be unwise to raise the en- tire cost of the war by bond is- sues but a readiness on the part of the people to buy bonds will be the best for the country in the end.
 The quota for Navajo County is SAP, 900 and the evidence of the willingness of the people to back up the men in the trenches by supporting the Liberty Loan, is the most convincing evidence of patriotism. Be a full patriot not one that is always round the corner when the country calls. If you cannot be on the firing line. be on the Liberty Loan Line. All citizens cannot be on the Honor Roll of battle fame, but there is fighting to be done at home, and the Honor Roll of Liberty Bond buyers should be a list of every citizen, in every

Interest Is Growing In
 The Holbrook Oil Field

that IS believed to surround
 Holbrook is daily growing
 and every day brings to towr
 men whose business is cen.
 tered in the oil industry o1
 the country. Hardly a day
 passes but what one or more
 of, these people arrive in towr
 in order to pursue their in-
 veStigations. Biologists have
 placed their stamp of appro- val on the section as one that
 shows every promise of ulti-
 mately becoming a profitable
 oil producer, and this fact
 makes it a highly interesting
 one for those engaged in oil
 production.
 Land has been taken up in every direction from Hol-
 brook, and from the steps being taken it ewill not be long before several drilling rigs will be erected and the work of proving up the field will be taken up in earnest.
 The old-time residents of Holbrook have for a long time felt that there was a good prospect of the field being developed into an oil producer, but up to the pre- sent time there has been little real work done to prove it. It is a fact that oil has been encountered in several water wells that have been sunk in the past and that oil seepages have been observed at several points in this vicinity. This fact, coupled with the geological that the country bears all the above-ground earmarks of a prolific oil belt, has given the greatest confidence to those who it their business to bore for oil. That they are in earnest is being demon strated by the action of a of men who have arranged to place drilling on the ground and this is cause for satis- faction on the part of all those who have an interest in this part of the county.
 The indications are that | the oil belt runs from the de- San Juan oil fields in the southeastern part of | southeasterly through | this part of Arizona, and thence into New Mexico. | Developments are now under way in the latter state in the of Magdalena, and those who have made oil de- velopment their life work feel that all that is needed in the Holbrook section is to do the necessary drilling, from all indications will soon be under way.

even just room for water closet and
lavatory? At the same time an addi-
tional bedroom or so is perhaps added
to the second floor.
One point to be looked out for is pri-
vacy; house or extension should be
so planned that it will not be neces-
sary to go through one bedroom to
reach another. The bathroom should
also be located SO that one does
not need to go through a bedroom
to reach it; just little thought given
to the planning will get it right.
To get the bathroom properly lo-
Gated there perhaps will be some waste
space, but that can always be used for
another closet, since the house with
too many closets has never yet been
invented.
The old house may have simply ny-
Ing room and kitchen and no separate
