ONTARIO Kxpected to Leave Soon lor Overseas —Details Have Not Been Re ceived by Relatives News was received Monday by Mr. and .Mrs. L D. Worden of Colvillo that their son Klmer was killed in an airplane crash at the aviation field at Camp Rathburn, Deseronto, On tario, on that day. The details of the accident have not as yet reached this city, but word came the last of this week that the body would be shipped here for burial. Funeral arrangements cannot be Completed until date of arrival is known. Elmer Worden was 26 years old and enlisted in Alberta last winter. His father is in the implement bus iness in Colville with the Stevens County Implement company and his mother and two younger sisters live in this city. He also is survived by a brother who is employed in the Portland shipyards and an aunt, Mrs. James McCormiik, who lives in Spo kane. The young man was expect ed to leave soon for overseas. The news of his sudden death came as a sad shock to his bereaved family. FEDERAL RESERVE BANK GIVES EXCELLENT ADVICE T«> Bank Depositors: Nothing i.s more vital to thi> win ning of the war than credit. The government often has to bor row immense sums, temporarily, and the banks must stand ready at all times to lend the government what it needs. The ability of the banks to lend is not unlimited. It is just as necessary for them to conserve their lending power as it is to conserve coal, food, steel and other commodi ties for which the war brings abnor mal demands. Those who are pro ducing, manufacturing or distributing things needed to prosecute the war or maintain the health and efficiency of the civilian population, will be able to obtain the credit to which their needs and their standing entitle them; but new loans will rarely be justified unless they are to aid in the prose cution of the war, and every bank has been asked by the government to re quest all its borrowers to keep their demands for credit down to the very mimimum. Patriotic citizens, whether in bus iness or not, will want to cooperate with this necessary government policy. The way for producers, manufac turers and merchants to do their share and reduce their credit require ments is: By not overbuying; By carrying as small stocks as practicable; By postponing new construction or expansion of their business; By effecting business economies; Borrowers whose loans are secured by government bonds or other collat eral, should remember that reduction of loans by selling collateral is not helpful, since it usually merely shifts the burden to other shoulders. The banks are asked to save their credit, which means that their cus tomers must use less of it. The sav ing of credit is an integral part of the great saving policy which the war requires the government to adopt, and every man,- woman and child to support to the utmost. Saving to reduce loans is v patriotic service only second in importance to saving to buy Liberty bonds and War Savings stamps. Both help to transfer to the government the ability to com mand the labor and materials of which President Wilson has said the allies are in such desperate need. Both also help to accumulate for the saver a purchasing power which he may need when the war is over. The Federal Reserve Bank of San Francisco asks the banks in its dis trict to si-nd this message to their depositors, feeling sure that it will meet with their prompt cooperation. —Federal Reserve Bank of San Fran cisco. $1.50 Year in Advance; 5c Copy RED GROSS AT LIVESTOCK SHOW COUNTY LIVESTOCK SHOW TO BE SCENE OF CARNIVAL ATTRACTIONS President Chamber of Commerce Urges Cooperation in Making Fair Huge Success Entertainment is not to be lacking at the big annual livestock show of the Stevens County Livestock Associ ation to be held in Colville October 2, 3, 4, at the association grounds.

"The Livestock Association and its jfrowth means so much to the county as a whole," said Mr. Johnson, "that the annual fair should receive the help and attention of everyone and be made a complete success. Colville, as the host on this occasion, must take the lead in showing its interest or the reat of the county will not have the necessary enthusiasm. The outlook this year i.s promising, and with the aid of the citizens of Col ville, the fair will be a huge success."

SAVE KKUIT STONKN AND ALL NIT SHELLS The government has asked that all of the pits from peaches, apricots, plums, cherries and prunes, and all of the shells from hickory nuts, wal nuts and butternuts be saved. These are used to make charcoal or carbon to neutralize the gas used by the Huns. Two hundred peach pits or seven pounds of nuts produce enough carbon for one gas respirator. The school children of Stevens coun ty are gathering fruit pits ami nut shells. As soon as yours are dry, give them to some school child and he will take them to the proper place where the collection is being gathered. SALVATION ARMY FUND BEING EASILY RAISED The following centers have raised their quota of the Salvation Army war fund and forwarded the amount to the county treasurer of said fund: Loon Lake, Springdale, Marcus, Rice and Colville. Colville raised nearly 10O'/{ over its quota.
