Uood Oil News There will be a special meet ing of the Civic League Monday afternoon, 4 o'clock, at the Crs tal Theater, and all members are urgently requested to be present. The annual election of o flic cm will be taken up at this meeting and ulsu the disposition of the fluids on hand in to be considered. Pending a meeting, it has been i suggested by many of the mom-iIr'I- that the funds be turned over to the Ked Cross. The League has done a very inori tori jus work since its organiza tion, but has not been ho active the past year because its mem bers have been busily engaged in war work. In fact, the big thing before all is the winning of the war and the members feel that the contributors to the Civic League will heartily approve the proponed action to devote the funds on hand to the Red Cross, which needs the money and which is doing such great work.

Naturally, there are others trom Lincoln county, but their name have not been given The following was handed the Nitws by a gentleman who had visited the Oscuro oil well, and we are pleased to give it space: "We are drilling for oil right here at home, and we belfeve we will find both oil and gas and we know if cither or both is found it will help every property owner in Lincoln county. We arc prop erty owners here and know that our only hope for this country lies in the development of her national resources of which we have an abundance but they arc all under the ground and we must dig if we nre to win. "Let's all put in our might in this otic test, where a noted oil geologist has located the well. The chances for oil he testifies upon oath in his opinion arc 99 for oil to one against it. . "Our country in war needs more fuel oil in order to win. A few dollars invested rigli at home may make you happy all through life. "The manager of the well drilling tells me they were down 000 feet Monday evening, showed up the log of well, the Bhale, shells, sand stone they went through.

ALLIES STOP THIRD GERMAN DRIVE If it were not for incurring the risk of being accused of vainglo riousuess, this heading might read "The Hun Turned Back. Crumpled Up and Demoralized by Americans." Hut there is enough glory for all, even if tin Americans did do the trick at the crucial poittf, and Hid it so thoroughly that the Kaiser's soldiers, those left to tell the tale, will never forget the Sammy and his capacity for fighting, Well, the third big German drive of the year started, after the Uuu fashion, by massing an overwhelming force in a given sector. This sector, evidently by design, was that occupied by the Americans, who were sup ported on both sides by the heroic Trench. The Germans launched a division across the Manic, in face of a murderous lire from the Americans. The south bank of the stream was reached and for a time held fast. The Americans counter attacked, and what Ger mans reached the north bank consisted of those who swam the stream; the others had boon killed, wounded, captured or drowned. The French about the same time drove the German back in a smashing offensive and captured many prisoners. It was tlie second time, this year, the Germans had li-'eti stopped in the third drive for Paris, and it was the second time that the Americans occupied the post of honor and met the responsibility as every American knew they would. Good old U. S. A. 5 U'a glorious to be an American. A wire came in last evening announcing a smashing advance of combined French and Amer icans, in which a large number of guns and thousands of prison ers were captured and the Huns sent scauiperiug-for a distance of 3 to 5 miles. This attack was along a line of 25 miles in length and the rivalry of the French and Americans sent cacli beyond his objective. Wowl Isn't it grand to be an American.
