FOR THE CHILDREN
The Game of Travels.

The company takes its place in
circle. and one is chosen as a leader.
He or she then opens the game by
rolling a handkerchief into ball and
throwing it at one of the players. say
ing while doing so:
will you go with NEE
The one receiving the ball catches it
and answers. "Wherey' The leader
answers. To Altoona" or uses the
name of any other place beginning
with "A" The one holding the ball
then throws it at some one else, and
the same formula is repeated.
The name of the place must be given
very promptly. IL u player receiving
the handkerchief fails to respond at
once the one seated at his or her right
hand takes the ball from him or her
and throws it at the leader. The fail
ing player must then leave the ring,
taking seat elsewhere in the room.
The leader then throws the ball at
some other player. and so the game
continues. When a majority OF the
players have been forced to leave the
ring by reason of failing to give
name beginning with a" the letter
"R" is taken and the game goes on.

EXCHANGING Warrants for Bonds

The Bank of Colville, acting in the
capacity of fiscal agent in the exchange
of the 1920, 600 Stevens county funding
bonds voted on Sept. Z. has an extra
force of help making the transfer of the
bonds to N. W. Halsey & Co.. bankers,
of Chicago, to whom the entire issue
was awarded at an interest rate of At
per cent, 1920 years redemption privi
leges, with premium of $3.50.
The method of making the transfer,
as explained by C. w. Winter, president
of the Bank of Colville, il as follows;
The county treasurer, who has called all
outstanding redeemable warrants, will.
as the warrants shall be received by him,
turn them in TO the bank. The cash
proceeds from the sale of bonds will be
be placed to the credit of the county as
fast as the warrants in amount are pre-
sented. Immediately upon the presen-
tBtion of the warrants the b,nds will be
placed at the disposal OF N. w. Halsey
& Co.
Under this arrangement no interest
will accumulate against the county on
the bonds until they become the legiti-
mate property OF their purchasers. The
warrants, under the call recently issued
by County Treasurer Charles Adams,
ceased to draw interest Dec Is, and the
exchange will be made about Dec 81.

that is what we will soon have

But suppose the rural route

then what? You know per-
fectly we'll that the postage on

stands this too, for he says in
his report, The reason for in
creased consumption in cities
is that goods are accessible and
are invariably delivered to the
purchaser. Therefore, shorn
of all its frills, the scheme of
the postmaster general seems
to be to saddle the entire bur-
den of the enormous deficits of
the postoffice department upon
the local merchant and
country stores" for whose
welfare he assures us he is so
solicitous.
The question therefore arises,
have we not a right, as business
men and American citizens to
demand at least that congress
shall not enact any parcels

of postage than the contract
price that the government pays
to the railroads for transport
ing such commodities? Have
we not right to object to be-

ment deficits and the freight
