Rice is unusually quiet since the road men all left. Paul LaPlant re- turned to his home in Colville Sun- day. He says that the freezing of the ground, so that the road bed could not be leveled, prevented the gravel being placed on the road un- til spring, when the work will be re- sumed. There was a large attendance at the Maurice Pattee sale Tuesday. It is reported that most of the things sold at good prices.

Cornwell, Representative Ben McCanna and family spent Thanksgiving in Spokane. Mark Mills returned to Colville to- day to resume school work. The Huffaker boys invited the Cornwell boys and Bennie McCanna to dinner last Sunday and to spend the day. Henry Guenther took a truck load of lambs to Spokane last week. He has a fine bunch of grade Oxfords on his place. The O'Shaughnessy family were the first ones to have the flu in this neighborhood. They have all been in bod with it except Mr. O'Shaugh- nessy, but they are getting along fine. School resumed at Greenwood a week ago Monday, but on account of the flu breaking out in this neigh- borhood the directors decided to dis- continue, aftei a two-days session. Mrs. Van Horn and children went to Spokane last week and Mr. Van Horn expects to go there the last of this week. They will make their home there. The hard frosts have stopped the fall plowing, but most of the farm- ers are about done. Last Sunday Mrs. li. W. Friske entertained Mr. Victor and family, Mis. Ben McCanna, Martin Scheele, Ted Hamilton and sisters at dinner in honor of Mr. Friske's birthday. Mr. and Mrs. Bob Campbell are building an addition to their house. We understand they intend moving Mr. and Mm. Donald Campbell of Valley over to spend the winter. Mr. and Mrs. Donald Campbell are old residents of this part of the country and their many friends will be glad to have them back. Mr. and Mrs. Victor of Spokane have taken charge of their ranch here, lately occupied by Mr. Van Horn. J. K. and C. M. Foster were busi- ness visitors in Colville Wednesday. Mrs. A. U Swanson, Representative Last Friday quite a number of Meyers Falls people attended the Haider sale. Mr. and Mrs. Lotting and Mrs. Memming when returning had an accident. One of the horses fell and Mrs. Lotting was thrown from the wagon and received some painful bruises. She is getting on fine at this writing. Mrs. J. B.

After the election we were served a fine lunch prepared by Mrs. Gene Walston. We all had a fine time chatting with our brothers and sis- ters whom we had not had the pleas- ure of meeting for more than two months. Ed Hale killed a fine coyote in Swanson's pasture Monday. He said it is the first one since he has been in the country, and that's quite a few years. Tuesday Meyers Falls was visited with a fine coat of snow. Monday was hog day. Mr. Bran- igan and Mr. Brady were getting ready to ship, and you could see farmers from down the river and from the hills coming in with tl*eir hogs. Mrs. A. Koerner, Miss Edith Bran- igan and Miss Jean Koerner were passengers on the Wednesday morn- ing train for Spokane. Miss Jean is on her way to Seattle to attend school. Among the sick this week are Mrs. Baker, S. T. Higginbotham, the Gerking twins, the Stover chil- dren. Wm. Miller has the rheuma- tism and is confined to his home. Thanksgiving was rather dull here for so many are sick. The rest feel as if they had better stay home. 'But how we do miss that dinner we have at the church each year. Mrs. John Biddle and little Miss Alta Gerking were Colville visitors Wednesday. J. W. Brown is digging a cistern for J. W. Reynolds at The Elms. It is to be quite a large affair, as Mr. Reynolds means to use it as a fil- tering plant when he pipes water over in the spring. (Continued from First pa«e) DYNAMITE EXPLOSION LEE JENNINGS KILLED The Colville Examiner, Saturday, November 30,1918 Miss Hazel A. Phillips left Cresco Friday to spend the weekend with Mr. and Mrs. Orville Phillips at Meyers Falls, but came in contact with so many walking delegate ex- ponents of what they call smallpox that she will not try visiting again very soon. J. C. Lynn of Edgebank was work- ing at the Bungler mill this week. REPORTSOFDRIVE COME IN SLOWLY early closing of the campaign an im- possibility. Fred W. Dickey, chair- man at Chewelah, was ill, as well as several members of the soliciting committee, but they reported last week that about $3000 of their $3600 quota had been raised. Springdale, which has gone over the top by good margins in every war drive, had oversubscribed her quota of $1000 by $192, according to the last report. The committee at that place followed the same plan as was followed in Colville, fixing as- sessments in accordance with the ability of the various citizens to pay. Northport raised $2110 of her $3600 quota. The amount allotted to Northport was considered too big by the citizens there, but the com- mittee did its best under the cir- cumstances. W. Lon Johnson, county chairman, states that the county will approxi- mately raise its quota, although he does not think it will fully reach its allotted amount. That the work- ers have labored under difficulties, but have done splendid work in the drive, was another statement made by Mr. Johnson. He says that the response of the people in aiding the big work of the united organizations is commendable. Some people are of the opinion that the United War Work will not need so large a sum as asked for, because the demobilization of the army is taking place much swifter than was expected, but if they should have any more than is needed for their welfare work, the people feel that it should be turned over to the Red Cross for the great recon- struction activities in which it will be engaged perhaps for several more years. \u0084 The reports in the office of the county treasurer of the drive, J. D. Casey of Colville, show the following returns, although a few are still in- complete: Colville $4278.20, Chewe- lah $3000, Northport $2110, Spring- dale $1192.06, Kulzer $60, Evans $33, Aladdin $75, Narcisse $82.50, Orin $468.60, Loon Lake $220.50, Old Do- minion $37, Kelly Hill $109.05, Bruce Creek $157.50, Valley $500, Bossburg $50, Arden $161.26, Daisy $263, Vel- vet $30, Leadpoint $321, Turk $40, Fruitland $144.80, Ford $253.75,5um- mit Valley $191.88, Wellpinit $56.50, Onion Creek $102.80, Gifford $152, Gerome $21.50, Marcus $747.85, Mid- dleport $37.20, Boundary $94, Flavin $47, Addy $271.50, Meyers Falls $292.55, Deer Trail $9, Rice $153.54. Miss Martha Ide and Carl Fery were in charge of the Boys' and Girls' Victory Campaign in Colville and report a most enthusiastic re- sponse from both grammar and high school students. A total of $358.80 in cash yhd pledges was raised by the boyrl and girls for the United War Wfrk fund, the money being earned or pledged to be earned by them. More thon a third of this amount was in cash. There were 197 girls and 167 boys contributing to the fund. The first payment on the pledges is due Dec. 2. CAUSES HEAVY DAMAGE All explosion causing about $6000 damages occurred when a charge of dynamite was set off on the front steps of the W. F. Boelter general merchandise store at Springdale on Friday night, Nov. 22. But one whole plate glass was left in the business section, Mr. Boelter sustaining about $5000 damages, the bank $250, the meat market $400, and the Keller store $150. About 50 window panes in the Williams hotel were blown out. Sheriff Wm. Miller has not yet been asked to make an investigation, no complaint having come to his of- fice from Mr. Boelter or others. Dep- uty sheriff George Haines stated that there seemed to be no clue to the identity of the persons guilty of exploding the charge. One theory is that it resulted from a spirit of re- venge against Mr. Boelter, who is said not to have subscribed to the United War Work fund in a sum large enough to satisfy his crit- ics. Mr. Boelter is a native of Ger- many,,, but a naturalized citizen. IN ACTION IN FRANCE Bert Jennings of Bissell received word Thanksgiving day that his bro- ther Lee Jennings, who went to France with the 26th infantry, was killed in action Aug. 24. No partic- ulars have been received. EXAMINE YOUR INNER SELF Possibly There May Be Machinery Thar* That Can Be Utilized to Qood Purpoee. Strange forces give men purpo.se and Jar them Into nctlon. Love, prtde, sor- row, fear—all sorts of hidden feelings are responsible for the shaking of men out of ruts and into fields of. undream- ed of achievement. More than one big success finds Its real origin In the personal disappointment of some man —perhaps over a college education he couldn't get, or a toy he couldn't af- ford, or a trip he was not able to make. Of course some men are downed by such emotions, but others are made by them. Most men have perfectly good boilers In them, and fine equipment. But so many never get up steam and go any- where! They don't want to go any- where. They Just stand still—watting for a call from within to "get a move on." The call Is likely to come any time. If your call Is late In coming, why not ring up your Inner self and ask him If he can't think of some place he would like to go? It's a shame to have all that expensive machinery and not use It. —American Magazine. EMERSON FELT WAR'S PINCH Letter Written by Him Telia of Bad Conditions In New York In the Year 1862. It Is interesting to go back to the early days of the Civil war In this city, when Emerson wrote to a friend of the financial crisis: "The Ist of January (1862) has found me in quite as poor a plight as the rest of the Americans. Not a penny from my books since last June, which usually yield five or six hundred a year; no dividends from the banks or from Lillian's Plymouth property. Then almost all income from lectures has quite ceased, so that your letter found me In a study how to pay three or four hundred dollars with fifty. Meanwhile we are trying to be as un- consumlng as candles under an extin- guisher, and 'Us frightful to think bow many rivals we have In distress and In economy. But far better that this grinding should go on bad and worse than we be driven by any impatience Into a hasty peace, or any peace re- storing the old rottenness."—New York World. Where He Fell Down. Recently an American was showing an English friend about the capital. "Our government Is very economi- cal," said the American. "When we've an extra thick fog they suck It Into a big cistern and convert It into paint for warships and buildings." "Really?" said the Britisher. "Talk- ing about fogs reminds me that my brother invented a machine for com- pressing fogs into bricks, and one thick November day he turned out enough material to build a country bouse. "Yes, he did. He moved into this new house the next April and was a happy man for two weeks, until one morning he found himself, also his family, lying out on the cold, damp ground, in company with some bits of furniture and come miscellaneous Join- ery. The house had gone, but It was the thickest morning ever seen in those parts. Of course, you can guess what had happened. In the night those fog bricks had somehow got back Into their original element." "Well," drawled the Yankee, "I reckon yerrel'tive ought to have glazed those bricks."—Ladles' Home Journal. Confidence Hat No Envle*. Ambition doesn't fear to admire what It would like to have. Show big- ness tn any guise to a brave, bold man and he'll prepare to parallel It If 8 the cowardly, double-swept weakling With secretly accepted bounds who always hates the strength and merit beyond reach. The fox didn't believe the grapes sour until he had quit trying for them. Scurrilous tongues are bitter with self- surrender. Stern, determined men re- fuse to discount the future; no attain- ment Is beyond their hopes. They never "knock." It might be construed as evidence of Inability to prove equal- ity. Confidence has no envies. Melting Aluminum Chlpr Fine aluminum chips, such as are produced In the machining of the alu- minum alloys used In motorcar con- struction are hard to remelt without excessive loss, a loss of 40 per cent being common. According to the bu- reau of mines, the total loss from this cause throughout the country amounts, with aluminum at Us present price, to |000,000. The bureau has recently pub- lished some valuable suggestions for minimising this loss. The main cause of trouble seems to be the lack of ready coalescence of the metallic globules, and this means that the problem Is one of colloid chemistry applied to metals.—Scientific American. New Kind of Honeymoon. Astronomer Boes Sun's Finish. Starch lightfrom Batteries. From the pocket flashlamp operated by two or three dry cells of minute \u25a0Ire the battery searchlight has been steadily Improved until today remark- tble results are obtained. A battery searchlight has been Introduced with a range of 2,000 feet up to half a mile, operated on six volts.

The combination of a nitrogen-filled tungsten lamp and a correctly designed reflector has worked wooden for the battery operated searchlight. BARN'S PART IN SOCIAL LIFE 6m«ll Boy Whose Father Posaewitf One Maed to Be a Good Deal of an Autocrat In simpler time*, and In parts of the United States where simple custom* prevailed, the popular small boy of the neighborhood was not necessarily (he Mm of tin- richest or most promt* nent family, but, more likely, the boy In whose yard there was a good rain barrel, a smooth cellnr door, or a barn. The boy who would now and then, from pure favor, or in return for mar- bles, or some other valuable consid- eration, permit other boys to "holler" down his rain barrel, or slide down his cellar door, or, greatest privilege of all, piny in his father's barn, was the boy whose friendship was belt worth cultivating. Some boy, in the small community of a generation ago, was sure to hart a father who possessed a barn, and, generally speaking, he Intuitively felt his power, and exercised It over tn« other boys on his street or In his part of the town. Wherever he went, the barn stood back of him and gave him support and Influence. He could say and do things to the other boys that they would not dare say or do to on* another, simply because the boy he said or did things to could see the barn door behind htm, open or closed, as the case might be. To be one of those entitled to ad- mission to the barn was to be In the right set; to be denied the privilege of playing In the barn was to suffer so- cial ostracism. AMONG WORST OF BAD HABITS Procrastination, When One Has Work That Mutt Be Done, Bound to Result In Failure. He was an excellent workman. Few things wen* In his specialty which could not do better than his mate*. But he was not a success. Others who had worked at their calling much less time passed him In the upward climb of progress. His fault, his crime, lay In one thing—he had the "tomorrow" habit. When he had three day* In which to do a piece of work, he squandered the first two In Idle speculation as to the amount of time absolutely necessary to complete his task. If he decided that, by hurrying, he could perform that task in six hours, he temporized until the beginning of the six-hour period. He was eternally loafing and hurrying, eternally wasting time and making time do double service. HU work be- came more and more slovenly. Other workmen surpassed him. Before long he was superannuated. If you find yourself figuring on the \u25a0mount of time you can loaf and •Mil get your work done, watch out. If you do not, the tomorrow habit will gat you.—Milwaukee Journal. A domestic long la the service of a well-known Alabama family recently gave "notice" of two weeks, explain- ing that she desired to get married. The mistress managed to secure a successor, but was dismayed to dis- cover that the new servant could not report for duty until a week subse- quent to the time fixed for the wed- ding of her predecessor. So the pres- ent Incumbent was asked whether she would not agree to postpone the happy event for a week. This the do- mestic declined to do. However, she said that she didn't In the least mind gftting married and continuing the household duties till her successor could put In an appearance. The hus- band-elect offering no objections, this arrangement was agreed upon, and an hour or so after the marriage ceremony the domestic was perform- ing her duties Just as before. "I presume your husband has re- turned to his work, as you have done," the mistress chanced casually to re- mark. "No'm," responded the girl, In a matter-of-fact tone; "Joe, he don* gone on his honeymoon." Hlarterle Totem Pole* Vanishing. The totem poles are going. These quaint monuments of a vanishing race that have made the coast of British Columbia and southern Alaska famous are fast wasting under the Influence of wind and weather. Once the designing and constructing of totem poles flourished among the Haldas and to a lesser extent among the Tslmpsean Indians. Thi« was long before the white man Invaded the Pa- cific Northwest. Real totem poles with the history of tribes and famlllea carved Into their odd structures are no longer made and each year sees some of the older ones disappear. Some are still standing in their origi- nal positions In the village of Kltwan- ga, on the Skeena river. Some of these are said to be two hundred years old. Our friends, the learned astrono- mers, says the Syracuse Journal, ar« Intent upon adding to our. load of wor- ry burdens. They—some of them—--be- lieve the Run Is going to explode. One of them, writing In Popular Astrono- my points to the fact that our sun Is of advanced age, and predicts Its fin- ish as the leading figure In our solar system. He finds that our sun has contracted 03,000,000 miles from each side, thus giving Its hot center 188,- --000,000 miles less room. So you sm the sun's center Is rather crowded for space.

REPORTSOFDRIVECOME IN SLOWLY

early closing of the campaign an im-possibility. Fred W. Dickey, chair-man at Chewelah, was ill, as well asseveral members of the solicitingcommittee, but they reported lastweek that about $3000 of their $3600quota had been raised.

Springdale, which has gone overthe top by good margins in everywar drive, had oversubscribed herquota of $1000 by $192, according tothe last report. The committee atthat place followed the same plan aswas followed in Colville, fixing as-sessments in accordance with theability of the various citizens to pay.

Northport raised $2110 of her$3600 quota. The amount allottedto Northport was considered too bigby the citizens there, but the com-mittee did its best under the cir-cumstances.

W. Lon Johnson, county chairman,states that the county will approxi-mately raise its quota, although hedoes not think it will fully reachits allotted amount. That the work-ers have labored under difficulties,but have done splendid work in thedrive, was another statement madeby Mr. Johnson. He says that theresponse of the people in aiding thebig work of the united organizationsis commendable.

Some people are of the opinionthat the United War Work will notneed so large a sum as asked for,because the demobilization of thearmy is taking place much swifterthan was expected, but if theyshould have any more than is neededfor their welfare work, the peoplefeel that it should be turned over tothe Red Cross for the great recon-struction activities in which it willbe engaged perhaps for several moreyears.

\u0084 The reports in the office of thecounty treasurer of the drive, J. D.Casey of Colville, show the followingreturns, although a few are still in-complete: Colville $4278.20, Chewe-lah $3000, Northport $2110, Spring-dale $1192.06, Kulzer $60, Evans $33,Aladdin $75, Narcisse $82.50, Orin$468.60, Loon Lake $220.50, Old Do-minion $37, Kelly Hill $109.05, BruceCreek $157.50, Valley $500, Bossburg$50, Arden $161.26, Daisy $263, Vel-vet $30, Leadpoint $321, Turk $40,Fruitland $144.80, Ford $253.75,5um-mit Valley $191.88, Wellpinit $56.50,Onion Creek $102.80, Gifford $152,Gerome $21.50, Marcus $747.85, Mid-dleport $37.20, Boundary $94, Flavin$47, Addy $271.50, Meyers Falls$292.55, Deer Trail $9, Rice $153.54.

Miss Martha Ide and Carl Ferywere in charge of the Boys' andGirls' Victory Campaign in Colvilleand report a most enthusiastic re-sponse from both grammar and highschool students. A total of $358.80in cash yhd pledges was raised bythe boyrl and girls for the UnitedWar Wfrk fund, the money beingearned or pledged to be earned bythem. More thon a third of thisamount was in cash. There were197 girls and 167 boys contributing

to the fund. The first payment onthe pledges is due Dec. 2.

CAUSES HEAVY DAMAGEAll explosion causing about $6000

damages occurred when a charge ofdynamite was set off on the frontsteps of the W. F. Boelter general

merchandise store at Springdale onFriday night, Nov. 22. But one wholeplate glass was left in the businesssection, Mr. Boelter sustaining about$5000 damages, the bank $250, themeat market $400, and the Kellerstore $150. About 50 window panesin the Williams hotel were blownout. Sheriff Wm. Miller has not yetbeen asked to make an investigation,no complaint having come to his of-fice from Mr. Boelter or others. Dep-uty sheriff George Haines statedthat there seemed to be no clue tothe identity of the persons guilty ofexploding the charge. One theory isthat it resulted from a spirit of re-venge against Mr. Boelter, who issaid not to have subscribed to theUnited War Work fund in a sumlarge enough to satisfy his crit-ics. Mr. Boelter is a native of Ger-many,,, but a naturalized citizen.

EXAMINE YOUR INNER SELFPossibly There May Be Machinery

Thar* That Can Be Utilized toQood Purpoee.

Strange forces give men purpo.se andJar them Into nctlon. Love, prtde, sor-row, fear—all sorts of hidden feelingsare responsible for the shaking of menout of ruts and into fields of. undream-ed of achievement. More than onebig success finds Its real origin In thepersonal disappointment of some man—perhaps over a college education hecouldn't get, or a toy he couldn't af-ford, or a trip he was not able to make.Of course some men are downed bysuch emotions, but others are madeby them.

Most men have perfectly good boilersIn them, and fine equipment. But somany never get up steam and go any-where! They don't want to go any-where. They Just stand still—wattingfor a call from within to "get a moveon." The call Is likely to come any

time. If your call Is late In coming,why not ring up your Inner self and askhim Ifhe can't think of some place hewould like to go? It's a shame to haveall that expensive machinery and notuse It.—American Magazine.

EMERSON FELT WAR'S PINCHLetter Written by Him Telia of Bad

Conditions In New York Inthe Year 1862.

It Is interesting to go back to theearly days of the Civil war In thiscity, when Emerson wrote to a friendof the financial crisis:

"The Ist of January (1862) hasfound me in quite as poor a plight asthe rest of the Americans. Not apenny from my books since last June,which usually yield five or six hundreda year; no dividends from the banksor from Lillian's Plymouth property.Then almost all income from lectureshas quite ceased, so that your letterfound me In a study how to pay threeor four hundred dollars with fifty.Meanwhile we are trying to be as un-consumlng as candles under an extin-guisher, and 'Us frightful to think bowmany rivals we have In distress and Ineconomy. But far better that thisgrinding should go on bad and worsethan we be driven by any impatienceInto a hasty peace, or any peace re-storing the old rottenness."—New YorkWorld.

Where He Fell Down.Recently an American was showing

an English friend about the capital."Our government Is very economi-

cal," said the American. "When we'vean extra thick fog they suck It Into abig cistern and convert It into paintfor warships and buildings."

"Really?" said the Britisher. "Talk-ing about fogs reminds me that mybrother invented a machine for com-pressing fogs into bricks, and one thickNovember day he turned out enoughmaterial to build a country bouse.

"Yes, he did. He moved into thisnew house the next April and was ahappy man for two weeks, until onemorning he found himself, also hisfamily, lying out on the cold, dampground, in company with some bits offurniture and come miscellaneous Join-ery. The house had gone, but It wasthe thickest morning ever seen in thoseparts. Of course, you can guess whathad happened. In the night those fogbricks had somehow got back Intotheir original element."

"Well," drawled the Yankee, "Ireckon yerrel'tive ought to have glazedthose bricks."—Ladles' Home Journal.

BARN'S PART IN SOCIAL LIFE6m«ll Boy Whose Father Posaewitf

One Maed to Be a Good Dealof an Autocrat

In simpler time*, and In parts of theUnited States where simple custom*prevailed, the popular small boy ofthe neighborhood was not necessarily(he Mm of tin- richest or most promt*nent family, but, more likely, the boyIn whose yard there was a good rainbarrel, a smooth cellnr door, or a barn.The boy who would now and then,from pure favor, or in return for mar-bles, or some other valuable consid-eration, permit other boys to "holler"down his rain barrel, or slide downhis cellar door, or, greatest privilegeof all, piny in his father's barn, wasthe boy whose friendship was beltworth cultivating.

Some boy, in the small communityof a generation ago, was sure to harta father who possessed a barn, and,generally speaking, he Intuitively felthis power, and exercised It over tn«other boys on his street or In his partof the town. Wherever he went, thebarn stood back of him and gave himsupport and Influence. He could sayand do things to the other boys thatthey would not dare say or do to on*another, simply because the boy hesaid or did things to could see thebarn door behind htm, open or closed,as the case might be.

To be one of those entitled to ad-mission to the barn was to be In theright set; to be denied the privilege ofplaying In the barn was to suffer so-cial ostracism.

AMONG WORST OF BAD HABITSProcrastination, When One Has Work

That Mutt Be Done, Bound toResult In Failure.

He was an excellent workman. Fewthings wen* In his specialty which h»could not do better than his mate*.But he was not a success. Others whohad worked at their callingmuch lesstime passed him In the upward climbof progress. His fault, his crime, layIn one thing—he had the "tomorrow"habit.

When he had three day* In which todo a piece of work, he squandered thefirst two In Idle speculation as to theamount of time absolutely necessary tocomplete his task. Ifhe decided that,by hurrying, he could perform thattask in six hours, he temporized untilthe beginning of the six-hour period.He was eternally loafing and hurrying,eternally wasting time and makingtime do double service. HU work be-came more and more slovenly. Otherworkmen surpassed him. Before longhe was superannuated.

Ifyou find yourself figuring on the\u25a0mount of time you can loaf and •Milget your work done, watch out. Ifyoudo not, the tomorrow habit will gatyou.—Milwaukee Journal.

A domestic long la the service of awell-known Alabama family recentlygave "notice" of two weeks, explain-ing that she desired to get married.The mistress managed to secure asuccessor, but was dismayed to dis-cover that the new servant could notreport for duty until a week subse-quent to the time fixed for the wed-ding of her predecessor. So the pres-ent Incumbent was asked whethershe would not agree to postpone thehappy event for a week. This the do-mestic declined to do. However, shesaid that she didn't In the least mindgftting married and continuing thehousehold duties till her successorcould put In an appearance.
