To Lieut.. COL William C. HarlIee,
more than to any other officer, goes
the credit for the splendid marksman-
ship of the United States marines.
Colonel Harllee enlisted the aid of the
secretary of the navy in his plan for
constructing rifle ranges just in time
to have thousands of marines trained
in the use of rifles when the United
States entered the war. He now wants
the teaching of all our citizenry in rifle
shooting to be permanent policy of
the government.

SEEING THE. LIGHT

Samuel Guggenheim and Stephen Birch, prominent
in the mining industry have just returned from Eu-
rope where they have been looking over the business sit
uation and Mr.. Guggenheim says: ~
"What American business must learn to do is to
build up domestic market for their products and also
try to firmly establish themselves in neutral countries
This should be their first thought and effort instead of
depending upon Europe outlet for their goods.
Europe is sick, very sick and while reconstruction
will mean big demands for products of all sorts this will
not develop for some time to come"
Many of the brainiest business men and students in
America have been arriving at this conclusion.
Europe in months and years to come will offer an
outlet for large quantities of products but in the
meantime the two Americas and the countries across the
Pacific seem to offer the great field for development.
If our Congress can only be moved after its
years of obstruction policies to the necessity for pass
ing measures permitting development of great nat
ural resources such oil lands and water power stes
coal lands in Alaska and other lockedp treasure great
fields for expansion and Of metals and other pro-
ducts will be opened up.

Minstrels and the War Tax

When the Harvey greater 1ninstrels

and Saturday, April a and S, this
irresistible attraction will prove a
boon for the war tax revenue. Re-
Gently when patron of this show
entered the Empire theatre at Quin-
cy, ILL.,, and paid his war tax as he
entered he was heard to remark,
"Well, I will enjoy. the minstrels bet
ter now that I fell that as I am in
my seat laughing I have at the same
time contributed toward the salaries
of the men who are at the front fight
ing in order that I may continue to
enjoy life as I like it." The man
who was a lawyer certainly express
sed happy thought.
1t would be selfish if we were not
willing to contribute few pennies
for the army, for our neighbor's son
and our nations welfare while we en-.
joyed an evenings entertainment as

A DIRECTORY OF NoGALEs
The Oasis Will Undertake Publica-
tion of Long Needed Book for I.
Use of the. Line Cities

Several attempts have been made
in former years to float a directory
Of the Towns of Nogales, Arizona, and
Nogales, Sonora, but through one
cause and another, they have failed
in being carried out. Yet there is
need for such a publication. There
should be one.
The Oasis has felt long that it
would like to undertake such pub
lication, but has not seen its way
clear to do so. There were two rea-
sons why the undertaking was not
attempted. First the time was not
ripe. Second, the necessary talent
was not available.
But now both time and talent are.
in conjunction. The time is here, and
SO is the man.
Mr.. w. N. Jenkins, a gentleman of
experience, is attached now to The
Oasis staff, and he will undertake
preparation of an up-to-date, modern
directory of Nogales, Arizona and
Nogales, Sonora, which will be pub
lished as soon as the necessary pre-.
liminaries can be made and the typo
graphical and mechanical work can
be performed. Mr.. Jenkins will also
undertake other work in his line for
The Oasis.
Tomorrow, March 81, Mr.. jenkins
will begin circulating among the peo-
pie and business men of the Line
Cities. bent upon the work he has
undertaken.
