Hardin " Child Hit By Autoist Dale Scott, the young son o Mr. and Mrs. M .T Rnnnf ,oo " - - fJJVi co knocked down and run over by an unknown autoist in front of the Telephone office Monday evening: about 6:30 o'clock as he was returning from the bakery. The driver did not stop his car after hitting the child and was travelling at a terrific speed with out any lights. He escaped from the scene before anyone arrived. Driving cars at night without lights and many times with chil dren at the steering wheel in Lordsburg must stop. The of ficers are going to see that the law is enforced. If some action is not taken soon there will be fatalities. The young Scott boy is no't seriously injured but it is miraculous that he escaped death. T aw; AM PAYS SOME INCOME TAX. There is one local business man who paid to the income tax collector here last week over two thousand dollars in tax and he paid it cheer fully. He will likely pay twice the amount of any other individual in this community. Very few people thought Lordsburg had any individual hero who -would pay up to $2,000 jn income tax. In the furtherance of the War Sav ings and Thrift Stmaps sales in southern Grant county, M. Q. Hardin, postmaster of this city, and W. F. Ritter, well known business man, con tribute a full page advertisement on Pago three of this week's Western Liberal. This is one of the most attractive pages issued to advertise the War Savings Stamps and it is hoped every reader will turn to this page nnd read it thoroughly. A coupon is also given at the bottom of the page for the purchasing of War Savings Stamps. From time to timo other business men in Lordsburg will donate adver tising space to the government for the sale of these stamps and then the Third Liberty Loan. V The donation of this advertising is purely a patriotic movement and one in which Lordsburg will not be found wanting. LgfjUrg, New Mejxieo, Friday March LIBERAL INVEST IN WAR SAVING CERTIFICATES.
