GETTING YOUR MONEY OUT OF
THE BANK,

THE BANK.
If the bank rendered no other
service to the community than to
protect it's valuables it would
render a useful one; but it would
be mouse-trap proposition, you
could only go one way; but the
bank makes it easier to get money
out than in, and in the outgoing
process assumes risks and renders
benefits too often lost sight of in
the busy whirl of business.
We take many things for grant
ed and live in a matter-of-fact age.
We want our morning paper at
he breakfast table with never
delay and with little thought of
what it costs to collect, transmit,
type, print and deliver the news.
We want our train on the dot or
We get impatient. We want our
milk and our coal, blizzard or no
blizzard. We likewise expect the
bank to do our business smoothly,
efficiently, and without thought OF
the cost or the risks attending.
When your bank hands you a
check book it gives you license to
draw as many checks, in as large
as small sums as you wish, with
the only provision Except in GER
tain cases where a minimum bal
ance is required) that you do not
overdraw, and promises to honor
your checks as presented as long
as. your balance is sufficient to pay
them.
Whether you want to pay your
creditor in the next block or a
thousand miles away, the check
ing privilege of bank account
permits you to make your pay
ment with ease, safety and dis
patch.
When you mail your check your
trouble is. over and the bank s has
Just begun, for the bank warrants
to you three things, all for your
own protection and at it's own
risk. 1t is we'll to know them.
1t guarantees (a) That it will
pay only the checks you have
signed. If your name is forged
and the bank pays the check, it
can not charge the amount to your
account; (b) That it will pay only
in the sum originally drawn. If
some one gets your check and
raises the amount, making it ap-
parently a genuine check, the
bank can only charge the amount
in which you originally drew the
check, unless it can show you
were grossly careless in so draw
ing that you invited fraud. There
fore be careful to draw your
checks properly; (c) To pay to
the party to whom you ordered
the amount paid and none other.
If the check gets into the hands
of strangers who forge the in
dorsement, so that the party to
whom you ordered the money paid
does not get it, the payment is at
it's risk, and you are harmless.
All this is ultimately for your
good as a depositor. You know
that your account can not be
drawn against except on your
order. You know that the party
you want to receive payment gets
it. You get back the most perfect
voucher known to the business
world. Many a dispute has been
settled and loss and law suit
avoided by producing bank vouch-
ers that told him in no uncertain
way that payment had been made
according to the intent of the
drawer. Therefore for your own
good you ought to keep your
money in a bank, and draw it out
by check.

Local socialists claim that they
are going to "cut some ice' in
the presidential campaign next
fall. They are not waiting until
the usual "open season" for poll
tics to begin to announce that ar
rangements have already been
made with the state lecture bur-
eau of their party for two educa-
tional lectures to be given within
a couple of months.
The first lecture will be on $50
cialism, the Hope Of the World, -
by Mrs. G.. HI. Lockwood of Kala-
mazoo, Mich. Mrs. Lockwood is
one of the principals of the Lock
wood Art School of Kalamazoo,
and for many years was associated
with her husband in the publica-
ton of a humorous illustrated
magazine called "The Billy
Goat" She is to speak at Mill
creek schoolhouse on Feb. 20, and
Colville courthouse March /.
About two months later L. F.
Katterfeld, state secretary and
national committeeman of the So
cialist party of Washington, will
lecture here on "The Dawn of
Plenty" Mr.. Katterfeld was for
three years manager of the ma
tional socialist lyceum bureau
in Chicago, and is considered an
authority in socialist circles.
These two lectures are part of
a state wide educational cam
paign with which the socialists
claim they are going to reach
practically every town and ham,

parties get started.

The meeting of the democratic
state central committee at Tacoma
last Saturday brought a record
attendance, and at the big ban
quet in the evening there were
seated $50 prominent democrats
representing practically every
county in the state. Harmony
and enthusiasm marked the days
meetings.
The state convention will be
held at North Yakima May 2, with
1,036 delegates, of which number
Stevens county is entitled to "a,
based on the democratic vote at
the last election. Delegates to
the state convention are to be Sc
lected in the various counties by
mass meetings or by selection by
the central committees. In this
county, it is probable that the an
nual Jefferson day observance
April 13 will be marked by a
county convention and central
committee meeting in addition to
the usual Jefferson banquet.
The democratic leadership at
the national capital is highly
pleased at the political showdown
which has come as a result of the
president IS appointment of Louis
Brandeis to the supreme court.
The reactionary and financially
controlled politicians in the re-
publican party must either OPP
pose the seating of Brandeis, or
silently watch an enemy to spe-
cial privilege take a seat in life
office of supreme justice. To op-
pose openly, the reactlonarles
must disclose their hand to the
public, and not to oppose him is
seemingly dangerous to special
interests.
Leaders of the progressive and
democratic party have expressed
approval at the presidents choice
of a man from the common peo-
pie. But it is bitter pill for
the reactionaries to either publish
their opposition or see Brandeis
seated.
All Of which is joy to the
spectators.

SYNOPSIS.

Barnacle, eight o CLOCK the same
evening.
SYNOPSIS.
One summer morning a jolly
party of naval reserve men from
the U. S. S. Barnacle land on the
warf of a seaside town, having
planned to spend the day playing
tennis, baseball and golf. The
bo 'sn and his mate join them.
The former is chaffed by the sail
ors on his melancholy appearance,
and admits he is gloomy. Upon
being asked the cause, Erne states
he had received a letter from his
father bidding him find and wed
Kitty Adair, a girl he has not
seen for fifteen years. His ship
mates are much affected by the
pathetic tale, but when he points
out that time has changed his
feelings; furthermore, he does
not know where Kitty lives, nor
what she looks like, the sailors
agree the situation is difficult. A
party Of high school girls, accom-
panied by some popular members
of the high school alumni, enter
on their way to a picnic. Among
them is Kitty Adair and her best
friend Dorothy. Through the
misdirected efforts Of Tom Tup-
per, the girls learn of the predica-
ment Of the bo 'sn and from Dick
Erne himself that he had forgot
ten all about Kitty. Determined
never to wed man who had for
gotten her Kitty Adair motions
the girls to silence and does not
admit her identity. Dick Erne,
in the meanwhile, has fallen vic
tim to Kitty's charms and when
Tom Tupper suggests that the
girls be invited aboard the Bar
nacle that evening to dance,
agrees to the suggestion and is
sues the invitation, which is ac-
cepted.
The night arrives, likewise the
girls. The sailors receive their
guests with honor, and when, in
the midst of pleasure Mrs. Brown,
the chaperon, left behind on the
wharf, arrives, Tim Shannon
enters and recognizes her as an
old friend. "Kitty Adair !" he
cries. Dick Erne takes one look
at the substantial Mrs. Brown
(nee Kitty Adair) and flies, fol-
lowed by the sailors and the girls.
Very much in love with the real
Kitty, and determined to fly at
once from the imaginary Kitty,
the poor bo 'sn packs his kit and
prepares to leave the ship. Kitty,
the sailors and girls. meanwhile
are searching for him, and great
is their CONSERVATION when he
can not be found. They discover
him just as he is about to go
ashore and tell him of the mis-

as an enemy projectile may reduce
them to powder.
Just near one Of the gates there

not been closed, and the window ls

the evacuation the owner of that
house had some special occasion to
celebrate. Looking through the win
dow one can see a table laid for
sixteen persons and everything pre-
pared for an excellent meal. There
was q beautiful clean tabiecloth with
napkins folded mitre-shaped for every
guest. Decanters of wine, red and
white, were standing beside each plate.
On the sideboard piles of oranges and
apples were waiting for the party that
was never to eat them.
The gendarmes in verdun seem to
keep a catalogue of the shells which
fall In the town. Those who live in
bombarded towns take q definite pride
in showing the visitors the holes made
by German projectiles and the house
that they had thoroughly destroyed.
1t was with an expression of the great
est satisfaction that one OF the gen.
darmes asked us to come and see his
gate, because. during the previous
night. he had counted a hundred and
seventeen big shells that had fallen
into it's neighborhood.

Perhaps. the musician of the future
will be able to convert into terms OF
music the extraordinary contrasts of

may hear in a bombarded town"
The cinematographers have been
taking everything they can find In
Verdun, and their only grief liz that
so far no shell has burst near enough
to their apparatus to be photo
graphed.
