OFFICIAL NEWS OF CITY AND COUNTY
THE RED CROSS
MAKES APPEAL
DESTITUTE PEOPLE OF BELGIUM
AND FRANCE NEED AID OF
AMERICAN PEOPLE
Every Person Can Now Help the Cause
of Humanity, Under Plans of the
Red Cross Organization
The Colville Red Cross has re
ceived the following communication
from headquarters, showing the need
for assistance, and pointing out the
exact methods by which the American
people can give definite aid to a
stricken population in the war zone:
To All Branches and Auxiliaries
The Red cross has asked for cloth
ing for the Belgians. Our portion
is 25 tons—7 tons of this will be al
lotted to the Junior Red Cross. This
makes an apportionment of about 2
pounds per person. The date set for
this collection is the week of Sept.
23d to 30th. We are sending you
this letter that each branch and aux
iliary may take the responsibility that
each home may be reached. Send in
to Spokane Chapter 605 Spragiie Av
enue. Do not send until the week of
the drive—Sept. 23d to 30th. Please
send in all refugee work finished or
unfinished not in the quota.
The Kind of Garments Needed

and blankets, woolen goods of any
kind—and shoes of every size are
asked for. Scrap leather is needed
for repairing footweai 1.
Since the clothes will be subjected

titute women in the occupied regions
are eager to earn a small livelihood by
repairing gift clothing and making
new garments adapted to needs which
they are familiar with.

underdrawers, trousers, coats, work
suits (overalls), suits, shoes, over
coats, jerseys, sweaters, sweater-vests,

corset-slips, petticoats, blouses, shirts,
coats, suits (2 piece), shoes, cloth
hats, knitter caps, stockings.

shoes, overcoats, jerseys, socks, stock
ings, sweaters.
Girls' wear—Dresses, skirts, over
coats, nightdresses, drawers, stock
ings, undergarments, petticoats, suits,
blouses, waists, shoes.
Boys' and girls' wear—Hooded caps,
pinafores, woolen union suits.
Infants' wear—Baby blankets, baby
shirts, sweaters, bonnets, bibs, dia
pers, shoes, binders, baby dresses,
cloaks, jackets, shawls, socks, bootees.
Miscellaneous— 11 ed ticks, bed
sheets, pillow cases, blankets, muf
flers.
Do Not Send
Garment* of flimsy material or
coloring, ball dresses, high-heeled
slippers, etc.
Stiff hats, either men's or women's,
straw, dress or derby.
Raincoats, rubber boots, or any
thing containing rubber. Note: rub
ber heels can easily be removed from
shoes.
Books, toys, soap, toilet articles.
Notes or communications of any
sort or description must positively
not be sent.
Get Ready Now
Prepare for the campaign at once;
announce it through the press; explain
the need and make the initial appeal.
At the close of the week the chap
ter should report to the division of
fice simply the weight of the clothing
shipped. This is the only report
necessary.
Ship no clothes to the division ware
house.
As far as possible send only cloth
ing that has good wear still in it.
There is no need whatever to sort
the clothing by kinds of articles. All
clothing should be absolutely dry.
No RUBBER of any kind.
Next Week Only
People having garments to give
should bring them to the Red Cross
rooms Tuesday, Wednesday, Thurs
day or Friday. Those at a distance
who can not bring them in, should
call up the Red Cross rooms Tues
day, Wednesday or Thursday after
noon, and the ladies will arrange to
collect on Friday. Shipment will be
made Saturday.
COLVILLE BOY
KILLED IN AIR
lll.M 111! WORDEN DIRS FROM AIR
PLANE ACCIDENT AT CAMP
RATHBURN. 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.

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 Red Cross auxiliaries of Colville
will have charge of the amusement
features during the stock show and
every one is expected to do his part
in "putting it over." Five tents will
be the amusement centers, the de
tails of which have not been divulged.
Dances, parades and other attractions
will make the fair grounds a merry
carnival scene.
The country auxiliaries arc to have
a Harvest Festival in the building
on Main street formerly occupied by
H. 0. Bair. Articles of all descrip
tion are to ho on sale. Vegetables
and everything else that is donated
to the Red Cross for the festival will
help, both to make the livestock show
a success and to furnish the Red
Cross with funds. Anyone having a
large tont to loan, please phone Mrs.
H. Wade Bailey, 1335. The dona
tions are to be left at the H. O. Hair
building.
W. Lon Johnson, president of the
chamber of commerce, urges the co
operation of the business men and
people of Colville in making the show
one to be remembered.
"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."
The county teachers' institute will
be held in Colville on the same dates
as the show and one day is to be fea
tured by lectures on judging stock.
This feature la in charge of President
Joe Turner, County Agriculturist E.
C. Durdle and Prof. B, K. Klliott of
the high school agricultural depart
ment. Premium lists have been is
sued and may be obtained from the
banks or Karle T. Gates, secretary.
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. A hundred dollars were
raised at the union meeting Sunday
evening and another $100 was raised
from those at the courthouse and
from the business and professional
men who were not at the meeting.

willing to pay fifty cents for the same.
All girls wanted a corsage bouquet
of sweet peas. The flowers brought
$12. In all the net proceeds were
