Fire at the Colville Floral Co.
greenhouses at 3 o'clock Sunday
morning did about $200 worth of
damage before it was extinguished
by Chan St. Clair, proprietor, who
had spent a strenuous week in
keeping up the fires to keep the
plants from freezing. The fire caught
from a cracked tile in the flue, and
burned the wall between two green
houses, about 10 feet of carnation
bench, and broke 20 panes of glass
from the roof. The plant damage
was largely to carnations. Mr. St.-

holiday flowers this year, comprising

and the sentiment expressed in these
lines:
Who bleaks the roads in rotten weath-
Who brinsrs the farm and town to

Who wears nut nearly all the leather?
The Carrier.
Who brings the news that stirs the
soul—
Of crlmei and scandals, strikes ana
coal?
Whose welcome never will grow old.
The Carrier.
Who's everybody's errand boy—
For matron sick, or maiden coy,
Or fretful babe that wants a toy?
The Carrier.
Who fetches circulars and packs.
Honey, fresh egrprs, shoe strings, tacks,
Money, (ishhooks, book* and jacks?
The Carrier.
Near 20 years your R. D. man
Has done the very best he can
Through snows that blind and suns

The Carrier.
On Christmas, nineteen twenty-two.
There comes to each and all of you
Best wishes from this Carrier to
The Patrons.

many people from trading that week,
but this present week has made up
for it.
The Colville postoffice has been a
busy place. On Thursday 101 sacks

GREETING CARDS
ARE APPRECIATED
Some of the Finest Lines in
the Country Have Been
Sold Here
This holiday season has been
marked by a good sale of holiday
greeting cards from the lines carried
by the Examiner. A few years ago
the greeting card was .seldom used.
Now the greeting card takes the
place of presents in many cases, and
more people are annually remember
ed than when real presents were in
vogue.
Colville has had a line of greeting
cards that probably no other small
town in the country has seen. During
the last three summers the publisher
has taken vacation trips, through the
manufacturing and distributing cen
ters, and has personally visited the
makers of these cards. Through per
sonal acquaintance and business re
lationships he has been able to get
small quantities of the lines that
usually go only to the laiper ritirs,
which each year will consume all
that these factories can produce. \o
cards were bought through whole
salers, but all came direct from the
be.st makers, which might 1m- said is
a most unusual l'avoi for a small
town dealer to get.
The result has been un immediute
seizure of a good tiling by the buy
era in this vicinity. Some orders
have come by mail, with instructions
to do the picking of the curds for
the customer. All cards in stock
have been placed in cabinet, so that
purchasers may really do their own
buying by simply taking their time
and making their own selections us
they wish.
Greeting cards are emphatically in
vogue. In 1921 there were more
than 50,000,000 greeting raids sold
in thp United States. The loading
occasions are Christmas, New Year's,
Valentine's day, Easter, Mother's day
and graduation time. Yet curds are
made foe every conceivable occasion,
with sentiments that fit the occasion.
The Examiner expects to continue
these lines of the better cards direct
from the makers, and it is probable
that next year's Christmas line will
again be selected personally by the
publisher at the factories. No stock
in any city excelta the Examiner
lines, and even the cheaper lines
that are hawked by wholesalers and
traveling mm do not undersell these
better lines secured by the Examin
er.
Some time Colville and the sur
rounding territory will grow large
enough to warrant these better cards.
Meantime the Examiner is carrying
them'from a pure pleasure in seeing
Colville have a little of the best. It
takes continued nerve to ask the
makers to sell a few card*, when
they can sell quantities to larger
place. 1. But it's been done, and it
will continue for awhile at least.
Prices for Fine Apples
Continue to Be Small
Apples are a drug on the local
markets. From all reports, the
northwest has produced more apple*
than can be marketed, due to various
causes, among them being the early
shortage of freight cars, the con
tinued shortage of buying ability of
the American people, and the failure
to continue the advertising propa
ganda of "Eat More Apples."
The crop in Stevens county was
very good, and very plentiful. Prices
have run from 75 cents to $1.60 a
box, the Jonathans bringing best
prices. Apples in bulk f. o. b. the
grower can be bought for 60 cents
a box, or even less, which leaves
little excuse for local people to be
without the best fruit this winter.

aminer's special line.
Hold Annual Meeting
of Savings Association
The annual meeting: of the Col
ville Valley Savings and Loan Asso
ciation will be held at 7:30 p. m.
Tuesday, Jan. 9, at the offices of
Wentz & Bailey. Three directors
are to be elected for a three-year
term. Voting of stockholders may
be in person or by proxy. Reports
of the work of the association will
be given.
This organization, formed byCol
ville business men, has been doing
business for 20 "months. It has 75
stockholders, and $13,000 In loans.
During the last year it has paid 8%
to stockholders.
The minimum requirement for
membership is the payment of $1 a
month on stock, which is worth $100
a share. Interest is paid every six
months on all stockholders' deposits.
Some stockholders are paying as
high as $10 a month, using the
association as a savings bank.
The purpose of the association Is
to create a local fund for use of
local homebuilders, and to encourage
the savings habits of those who
wish to build homes without much
capital.
Last week some of the board
members went to Chewelsh to dis
cuss the matter of a similar asso
ciation being organized at Chewelah,
but it was found that it might be
advisable for Chewelah to use the
Colville organization under a
promise that Chewelah borrowers
would be given first opportunity at
the funds deposited by Chewelah
stockholders. The cost of maintain
ing one large association would be
less than that of keeping two smaller
ones.
To Hold a Convention
of Christian Workers
Next Friday, Dec. 29, there will

Some of the Recipes
Used 200 Years Ago
A i|iiuint old English cook book,
nearly 200 years old, ha.s been given
the library of the State college of
Washington, as an interesting ad
dition to the home economics texts,
by a member of the faculty who
each year gives away some valued
possession on TEanksgiving.
The book is a copy of Howard's
Cookery, printed in London "at The
Rose, over against the North-Door
of St. Paul's" in 1773, and is bound
in mellow old brown leather, hand
tooled, and in good preservation. On
the first puge in faded ink is in
scribed "Amelia's Book," and "Mr.
Howard, Oxford-ale Batsman"—pos-
sibly showing where Amelia's in
terest was centered.
There are "Five Hundred New
Recipts in Cookery" in the volume,
including "hare pye, to ragoo wood
cocks, to make almond puddings in
guts, turnip soop, syllabub, pottage,
pickled samphire, sugar amlet, and
to souse a Conger eel." Many of the
recipes require white wine, sack,
ale and like viands forbidden of
Volstead. There are recipes for the
making of gooseberry wine, July
flower wine, and cowslip wine, and
various of the recipes call for "a
pint of the best Rhenish wine."
Rules are given for the pickling
of all sorts of things—broom buds,
mushrooms, artichoke-bottoms, ashen
keys, hips, barberries and thistle
stalks.
Here in one that does not require
the vast amount of labor that many
of them do (poor other-day house
wives, beatinx for hours with a
wooden spoon): "To candy all sorts
of flowers in their own natural col
iii take your flowers with the stalks
on and wash them over with rose
water wherein Gum-arabick is dis
solved; sift fine sugar over them
and set them to dry on & sieve in an
oven, and they will be very nice."
At the back of the book is "a bill
of fare for every month in the
year" (first and second course) show
ing how largely folks lived on a
meat diet a century or two ajro.
