DON'T FOOL YOURSELF!
Misfortunes CAN happen to you. You are not im
mune!
Suppose your wife took sick and you lost your work
at the same time? It would be hard luck, wouldn't it?
What would you do ?
Suppose you were injured in some kind of an acci
dent. Then suppose you were laid up for several
months and that your pay should stop. What would
you do? How would you make ends meet?
Suppose you die. What would your wife do? Could
she keep the family together? Even if she could, it
would mean long slaving that you could have saved
her.
Suppose you drop into our bank today and let us
talk to you about a bank account. You will feel a
whole lot safer with a rainy-day fund in the bank. Just
a little every week, and you'll soon have a substantial
account.

among the people of Colville as to the
growing seriousness of the influenza
epidemic.

Falls. His wife, who was ill with
the influena at the same time, is re

port at Camp Polk, North Carolina,
to enter a tank training corps, and
left Wednesday.
Fred J. Williams, son of James M.
Williams, a plumber of Colville, is
beginning to consider himself rather
unlucky. He has been eagerly wait
ing the arrival of his eighteenth
birthday so that he might enlist.
When the time came, he offered his
services to Uncle Sam and has been
waiting notification as to whether
his application had been accepted.
The news has come that he will be
expected to report at Camp Polk,
North Carolina, to jenter a tank
training corps, but young Williams
is in the hospital with a broken leg.
He has been working in. one of the
garages in Colville, and Friday night
he broke his leg in an auto mishap.
Such is the irony of fate, thinks the
would-be soldier.
Edwin T. Rice writes his Colville
friends from Cheney, where he is a
member of the S. A. T. C, that about
seventy men out of one hundred
there had the flu, but that the epi
demic in the school is on the wane as
only about twelve are now ill with it.
He says that it missed him and he
has the duty of answering the tele
phone inquiries about the flu patients.
The men are tightly quarantined in
the barracks, but play cards, read and
play the piano to keep things from
getting monotonous. Ho says that
the printing department there is a
good one and he spends an hour and
a half each day studying printing.
The men have kitchen police duty, in
spection and other military routine
and lire expecting their uniforms
soon.

influenza.
A story is being told of a reply
given by a student to a question in
an examination paper:
"If twenty men reap a field in
eight hours," ran the question, "how
long will it take fifteen men to reap
the same field?"
The student thought long and care
fully before setting the answer, and
when he handed in his paper this \»
what the examiner read:
"The field having already been
reaped by the twenty men, could not
be reaped by the fifteen."
