WASHINGTON | Cbe golvilie examiner OFFICIAL NEWS OF CITY AND COUNTY High class tailoring for men and women Dry cleaning, pressing, repairing, altering Colville, Stevens County, Washington, Saturday, February 26, 1921 A NEW SERVICE FOR COLVILLE The Colville Electric Service Sta tion has the distinction of being 1 the only station of its kind north of Spokane. This station aside from the regular lervfce for car batteries and car ignition systems, takes care of all kinds of repair work on electrical appliances, including electric irons, washing machine and *u-ing machine motors, electric heating pads, electric sweepers, electric toasters, etc. Earle T. Gates and Curtis Clinton compose the firm which has been op erating the service station since No vember of last year. Overhauling and rebuilding batteries is one of the specialties of the station. Mr. Gates states that it pays to rebuild bat teries 8 to 11 months old as they will then give service for another season without further trouble, but that a battery over 1.4 months old which needs repair should be replaced by a new one. Winter storage of batteries is one of the features of tin 1 service ren dered at this station. A battery left in an idle car or put on a shelf in the cellar will wear out quicker than one that is being recharged by oc casional use in a car, according 1 to Mr. dates. When a battery is stored at the service station, it is put on a charge lino and kept in condition. Dry storage does not cost the owner of the battery anything. All that is required is two or three days notice in the spring before the battery is wanted, then the station will over haul and put the battery in condition. Prior to the opening of the ser vice station, which i.s located on the north side of west First avenue in a building formerly used for a feed store, Mr. Gates for three years op erated the Pacific garage and Mr. Clinton was in charge of the electri cal department. About November first Mr. Gates sold the garage to Culver & Richardson of Spokane. Mr. Gates has lived in Colville^and vicinity for the past twelve years, during which time he was a farmer and stock man and secretary of the Livestock Association for some time. For two years he was county auditor. Curtis Clinton is the electrical genius of the firm and about five years ago was one of the firm of Benedict & Clinton operating a garage on south Main street in Colville. During his career as an automobile electrician, he has been head of the electrical department of a Spokane garage, op erated a garage at Marcus, Molson, and Roundup, Montana. CALCULATING MACHINE TO BE PIT ON MARKET A new calculating machine which will add, .subtract, multiply and di vide is to be put on the market through a company which is being organized in Colville. The machine is called the "Midget Marvel," a term which fitly describes it, for the machine is so small that it can be carried in the vest pocket, yet it does the things that an 8-column Burroughs will do, and then some. Ivan L, Hoffer, for 20 years a resident of Stevens county, is the inventor; John M. Sholund is vice president, and Atty. F. Leo (Irin- :;tead is secretary-treasurer. Stock bearing a guaranty of 2'A a month is to be offered for the initial work of the company. COLVILLE LEGION OBSERVES WASHINGTON'S BIRTHDAY The county meeting held by Frank Starr Post No. 47, Tuesday evening, Feb. 22, was well attended, over 150 ex-service men being present. Other posts of the county were represented as follows: Addy, C. Ostrum; Val ley, T. S. Gau and A. J. Diedrich. Mr. Diedrich made a short talk, tell ing what the Valley post was doing toward getting permanent quarters. Thomas M. Swale, department The wide awake person today is the one who will < ( >ir.e out ahead In the next few months of this reconstruction period. That person may r« the pinch of the times just a.s much today as the man who v ill -nil complaining of hard times next summer. But, he, unlike his hard brother, reads the ads and takes advantage of every bargain offered in the things that he nerds, while the man who feels now that nines are too hard to spend any money at all. except for the harest of necesfUtieH, pays no attention to the ads with tin- idea that he cannot afford to buy. The time will come when he will have to l>uy a good many thing! all at once—little things that he has been putting off from time to time— and he will have to spend a considerable sum then, which will seem like j| fortune to him after his long period <'f no spending at all. and he will feel that he has been robbed, that time, are junt as hard or harder than they ever were. On the other han.l, the man who has boon taking advantage of his opportunities by reading the ads, will be relieved U the necessity when bvalnaai Mttlea, of restocking his larder and ward robe and will be accumulating spare change for another rainy day. Weekly in the Examiner, merchants are advertising meichandi . at prices as low a.s ran he expected for several months to come, some prices an low as they will ever be. Moral—read the ads in the Examiner. cominamlii, was unable to be present, but was well represented by Oeo. H. Gannon of Maynard, Price Post No. 52 of Pullman, and a member of the state executive committee. Mr. Gan non (fnve tlic boys a heart to heart talk on what to do, and what not to do to make thr Legion a success. He eaH in part: "Sincerity is the keynote to success in any organiza tion, ami for that reason the Ameri can I < uion should succeed in its purpi'-i because it is certainly, sin cere in all its actions." Th. ) flies' Auxiliary of the Legion served a banquet for the ex-service men and the guests. The rest of the evening was spent with wrestling, boxing, and later, dancmi' Monty Dorman and Pinkey Huggin- illi lbs.) wrestled fifteen minuti - to a draw. F. Oberhanslej and II Owens (catch weights) wrestled two good rounds, both going to a fall for Oberhansley. Baird and McDonald boxed three fast rounds to a draw. A free-for-all dance for all coiners was very well attended. Stop the Spread of Tuberculosis Dr. F. E. Allen, federal veterinarian, who has been engaged in giving the tuberculin tost to milk cows in this vicinity for more than a month, in one place condemned two cows which were furnishing milk tor eight babies. The owners were more than surprised, but they happen to be among those citizens who take no chance with human life and health, and had seized the first opportunity to have their cows tested. Their cows are no longer en dangering the health of the eight babies. Cow owners who have not yet made application for tuberculin test should realize the force of public opinion that is now engaged in preventive measures. Tuber culosis must no longer endanger health. Commencing next Tuesday, no resident of Colville need buy milk, cream or butter which carries tuberculosis germs. The Colville milk ordinance then goes into effect', and it will be strictly enforced. The Old Dominion creamery will not buy or sell sweet milk or cream from untested cows. All Old Do minion butter offered for sale in Colville will hereafter come from tuberculin tested cows or from pasteurized cream. The Old Dominion creamery will be the first Col ville dealer to guarantee pure dairy products to Colville residents. Although butter is not covered in the city ordinance, any one who does not desire to eat butter from untested cows need not do so, but can demand from dealers a guaranty that the buttermakers' cows are tested. BAPTIST CHURCH PROPERTY DEEDED TO CONVENTION At a recent meeting of the mem bers of the Baptist church of Col vil!e, it was voted to deed the par sonage in trust to the Eastern Wash ington and Northern Idaho Baptißt Convention, the convention to assume all obligations which the local church could not handle on the parsonage, which consist of a $700 sidewalk assessment. A 'deed U> tie church property was also turned over to the convention, they to assume a mort gage due the Church Home Mission Society of New York. The parsonage had belonged exclusively to the local members, but they were not able to meet the heavy sidewalk assessment and preferred deeding to the Baptist Convention rather than I' i the property go to the city. As it is now with the deed in the hands of the Baptist convention, the work of the church will continue uninterrupted and the convention will put a pastor here as soon as one is available. The Baptist convention has con tributed sums of money from time to time to the work of the church here and expect to continue their help and rather than see the property lot to the church, they made tlii oiler assuming the obligation of the clinch in return for a deed of trust, a security for the money they ex pend. I FORMER COLVILLE MATRON VISITING HER DAUGHTER Mm. Elisabeth J. Broulllet of Spo -1 kani', a former resilient of Colville, I has been visiting her daughter Mrs. 11. Wade Bailey for the past two weeks.

MORE ACTION AM) LESS TALK ABOUT CONDITION OK ROADS (By Hit- Observer) I)ii| you ever .-top and listen to the men talk, or catch a chance word or two a you pass along tho street? No matter where nor when, nor how, nor what about, when a man start- talking he always mils liy talking about pood roads li Moemx the men have much to say about money wasted every year by wrong mil hods of road building. Now, if there |g a method of building a road so that it will stay built, why Isn't the vast sum of money spent every year in building roads, spent In building them the right way? Why not have one good road this year, one thai will last for several years, instead of dribbling the money over all the roads in the county and accomplishing nothing I,hi the upending of the people's money, ami next year build another good road and in the course of time have good roads all over the county? Of course, every one would want tln> finrt good road, so what is the 111 i , anyway, of trying to do any thing but spend the money as it has been spent in the past, in trying to satisfy every one at once, and there by keeping everyone dissatisfied. But, would it not be logical to work on the most traveled road first, pro viding it needs it? Why not copy the .lap- talk little, try hard arid alwayi remember that a pound of action beats ten pounds of talk. A little let! talk and a little more action ought to cause a lot of lalk about the GOOD roads of Steven* county. STOP! LOOK! LISTEN! Every biuineai man and every 1 citizen should hear REV. G. E.

Duties of the merchant police are to look after the interests of business firms which unite in hiring this pro tection. The round of the mercantile establishments is made at least every half hour, and on many occasions quicker, the officer having no set time for making his appearance, his business being to keep close watch for (ire. burglary, accidents, suspi cious characters, etc., and to look after unlocked doors and windows, see that lights are kept burning where they are intended, and to generally care for the interests of his patrons. In case of fire In any part of the city, the merchant police will remain on the job in the business district, the work being in no way connected with that of the city chief of police. Mi. London has had a number of years experience as city policeman, and most of the business houses are now covered by merchant police pro tection.
