The United States Government Cooperates with the 7,600 member banks in maintaining the Federal Reserve Banking System for the pro tection of the business interests of the country. Through the Federal Reserve Board in Wash ington it supervises the twelve Federal reserve banks; it appoints one-third of their directors; it deposits its funds largely with them; it guar antees the currency they issue. This cooperation greatly increases the value of the system to us and our community. If you are not already linked up with this new national system as one of our depositors you should delay no longer. 11l H!I]IIII||||(|PPUP»MM| M MMMM»- First National Bank Colville, Washington Member of Federal Reserve Banking System keeping DOWN WASTE IN AMERICA Women May Prove Deciding Factor in Present Battle of Plows and Kitchens. Since the American housewife has been given the great responsibility of reducing the kitchen waste, she Is becoming a true patriot when she makes the best use of everything which comes into the home. To be extravagant in the kitchen is one of the ways of being uuloyal to the flag. Someone has said that the great world war has resolved itself into a buttle of plows and kitchens, and the women may prove the deciding factor In the conflict. Farmers are asked to produce morn wheat and other food, and with a j larger yield of these foodstuffs, the ] home-maker can do her part in mak j Ing the "bread bullets" to be used to feed the nations. The food producers and the women who conserve the products can work hand in hand. What is "Conservation of Food"? It is making what we have or can pro duce, go as far as possible In feeding the multitudes. Conservation does not Mean simply to avoid waste and extravagance in buying foods, but to make the money allowed for food reach as far as it is within our power. Before this movement began, house keepers have had a desire to buy the household necessities cheaper, and much study has been given to^food production and conservation, thus making it easier to meet the demands now made upon us. Many say: "We have always been saving and no food is ever found tn our gaibage pail." Perhaps we have been saving in this way, but what about the extravagance in cooking with too much heat, throwing away vegetable and fruit parings when they can be eaten, and throwing the water and the minerals It coatatns from cooked vegetables down the kitchen sink? What about buying some of the expensive foodstuffs when cnaApsr ones ha.c more nutritive value? Cooperative Deliveries. Retailers in many cities are follow ing the requests of the federal author ities in establishing co-operative de livery services. The purpose of the change is to release for other work the several thousand men in the coun try who are now duplicating each other's efforts In delivering goods. Housewives are asked to co-operate in every way possible with the move ment. Cooperative delivery through out the country will mean that, in this state alone, several score of men will i be. released lor service elsewhere, the merchant will be spared a needlessly large expense, and ultimately the con sumer will pay a little less for the goods. /The purchaser should carry small packages home. Red Cross Efficiency. There is misunderstanding In some localities as to how much of the Red Cross funds collected is actually used for relief work, and how much is used to pay the expense of collecting, etc. Some misinformed person made the statement tiiat only half of the funds really reached the front. The cost of collecting the recent vast war fund was less than one per cent. When one donates M 0 to the Red Cross, he can be assured that at least $9.90 of the amount will remain for the purchase of ambulance wagons, bandages, medicine and other relief materials. » TESTED AND PROVEN There is a Heap of Solace in Being Able to Depend Upon a Well Earned Reputation Kor months Colville readers have seen tlie constant expression of praise for Doan's Kidney Pills, ami read ahout th c k<ki(l work they have done in this locality. What other remedy ever pro duced .such convincing proof of merit? S. ('. Anderson, carpenter, Daven port. Wash., says: "Aliout a year a^u I was laid uj, for three weeks with lumbago.
