Heal Skin Diseases

It is unnecessary for you to suffer with
eczema, blotches, ringworm, rashes and
similar skin troubles. A little zemo.
obtained at any drug store for 35c, or
S1OO for extra large bottle, and promptly
applied will usually give instant relief
from, itching torture. It cleanses and
soothes the skin and heals quickly and
effectively most skin diseases.
Zemo is a wonderful, penetrating, dis
appearing liquid and is soothing to the
n.cst delicate skin. Il Is not greasy, IS
easily applied and costs little. Get It
today and save all further distress.

other nationalities represen-
ted.
But they all think just as
does their fellow soldier of
Greek descent, and when he
says 1--WE Americans" they
feel that they all are includ-
ed.
And Americans they are
one of them-just as
loyal, just as proud Of the
United States as their coun-
try, just as jealous Of her
honor and reputation and
record, as if they traced their
lineage back to the little
band that landed on Ply
mouth Rock from the his
toric old Mayflower.
It is a great and inspiring
thought-this loyalty of our
citizens of other blood, this
fervid Americanism that
thus YIELDS together in a COM
mon fealt and devotion the
people of all the countries of
the world.
Then here's to Private
Polychron, and all like him.
We're proud Of such Amer
icans-prouder, in a way,
than we are Of those whose
Americanism is the result of
several generations of an
cestors born on American
soil. We're all Americans
alike.

YAQUI OUTRAGES.

From time to time stories
drift across from Mexico of
depredations and outrages
and killings perpetrated by
the Yaquis, and in about four
cases out Of five these stor-
les are eventually found to
be utterly without found
alton.
Last week it was reported
that D. L Fain had been
killed by Yaquis, and two
days latter Mr.. Fain arrived
in Nogales, safe and sound.
Last Monday a report was
circulated that the north
bound train from Guaymas
had been attacked by Yaquis
between Empalme and Her
mosillo, and that same even
ing the train arrived with
never a sign of Yaqui having
been seen.
But even granting that 20
per cent of the stories Of
trouble with the Yaquis are
true, what Of it? Didn't the
United States have that kind
Of trouble with the Apaches
and other Indian tribes in
the western states? Didn't
the Indians, year after year,
raid ranches and kill and
burn and pillage?
It took many campaigns,
extending over a long period
of time, before those condi-
tions were overcome in the
United States. But they
finally disappeared.

"WE AMERICANS"

In another column will be
found extracts from a letter
from M. Polychron, written
in the front line trenches in
France, in which the writer
says the boys are willing to
show the Fritz at any time
that the Americans are much
better than they are"
Private Polychron is of
Greek blood, but he says 1--WE
Americans" just as fervently
and sincerely as if he was
descended from three gene
rations of New England an
cestors.
Moreover, The Oasis
thinks it more than probable
that in Mr.. Polychron's regi-
ment, very possibly in his
company, will be found SOL
diers of Italian and German
and French and Irish and
Scandinavian blood. There
may even be half a dozen

NOCALES NEEDS A
PUBLIC LIBRARY

AS a community. grows
and develops, different
stages of that development
are marked by the introduc-
tion of certain improvements
and institutions. One Of the
first of these is a school, and
a close second is a church.
Not far behind comes a
newspaper, and when a few
more inhabitants arrive and
a few more business houses
are opened, a bank becomes
a natural necessity.
By and by sidewalks and
sewers and a water system
are added, a fire department
is formed, and the business
men organize a chamber of
commerce.
Always, when the COM
munity gradually becomes a
real city, and begins to feel
as if it must adopt the airs
and manners of a city,. there
comes a time when the need
Of public library is recogniz-
ed.
The Oasis belives that the
time has arrived for Nogales.
1t believes that Nogales
should have a public library.
Just how Nogales will be
able to secure a public libra
ry, The. Oasis cannot say.
But if the people of this city
decide that they want a pub
lie library, they will get it.
Nogales has a habit of doing
things, and Of getting what
she wants.

my friends to save, in death
less prose and verse, for vain
and foolish things | gave the
contents of my purse. While
handing out the wisest
words the statutes would al
low, l threw my money to
the birds, and fed it to the
cow. If | had taken my ad-
vice twas couched in ring
ing rhyme wouldn't now
be buying ice two ounces at
a time. My steak I'd purch-
ase by the pound, like wise
and thrifty gents, and I
would not be chasing round
to borrow fifty cents. And
l could help the Red Cross
game, and buy nine bonds or
so, and not be shivering in
shame because | lack the
dough. The price of every
thing | use, goes up, to beat
the band; the price of whisk-
er dye and shoes, and hoes to
till the land; the price goes
up, not once or twice each
day we see it scoot; if l had
taken my advice, | wouldn't
care a hoot. Pm in the hole,
Pm in the hole, | cannot pay
my tax, and Pm obliged to
buy my coal in little peanut
sacks. My heart is sad, my
feet are ice, I'm weary with
disgust, because l laughed
at my advice and burned up
all my dust.
