WHAT BUILDS CITIES
why is a city?
What makes q city?

"Hy 10 IL Sity
What makes a city?
Answer these two questions and you
have the solution of the problem OF
how to further increase the prosperity
of Colville, how to make Colville a
better and greater town. more ad-
vantageous place in which to live.
The first-why is a city?
A city is a city because of the con-
centration Of people at one common
point.
The second-what makes a city?
The attracting of trade to the COM
mon point where people have concen-
trated is what makes a city.
The more trade that Is attracted
the more careful the folks within city
are to keep money at home, the greater
"A, CITY becomes-the more prosperous 1t
becomes.
Take a city like Chicago, for instance.
Not many years back, 1t was
prairie: now it is Metropolis.
It attracts trade from everywhere
draws a nice little share from Colviile'
What it attracts, it holds. You don't
hear of folks who live in Chicago SEND
ing to Colville for groceries, Shoes
clothing and so on. They spend the'r
money in their home town, They keep
1T at home that they may share the
multiplied benefits it affords
For illustration, what would be the
result If Chicago folk poured the per
CAPITA amount into Colville that COL
willie pours into Chicago?
Colville would become a great. pros
porous and wonderful city over night.
The majority of the citizens of Col
vile would soon become millionaires.
Isn't the word picture we have drawn
vivid enough, electrical enough, pow
erful enough to show the downright
folly of patronizing mail order houses?
Here in Colville is the place to spend
our money.
Here in Colville is the place to sat
isfy our needs.
Here, in Colville is the place to buy
foods clothing, coal. building mater
ials. farm Observation-Disclosures and
necessities.
If we will all work together-break
away from this basically wrong prac-
tice Of shipping our good dollars away
to a mail order house, We'll be able to
make It the most prosperous little city
in the country.
Don't let us say that we'll stop the
mail order practice a little later on.
Let's stop now.
Let's get better acquainted with the
merchants of Colville and the goods
they have for us to select from.
Let us make this Buy 1t in the Home
Town" issue a live, positive, compel
ling. vital actual practice
Let us put Colville on the map big.

show respect for the flag 1t should not
he hoisted before sunrise or allowed

At retreat" sunset civilian specta-
tors should stand at attention and un-
cover during the display of the flag.
Military spectators are required to
stand at attention and give the mill
tary salute. During the playing of the
national hymn, at retreat" the flag
should be lowered but not allowed to
touch the ground.
When the national colors are passing
on parade or in review, the spectator,
if Walking. should halt. and II sitting,

cover.
When the national and state or other
flags fly together. the national flag
should be on the right

as a sign of mourning, it should be
hoisted at full staff at the conclusion
of the funeral

The nationwide effort to increase
the production Of foodstuffs has found
an echo in the state fish commission
of Washington, and strenuous efforts
will be put forth this year to increase
the work of the fish hatcheries of the
state. The fishery resources of the
entire state are to be increased. This
of course means special attention to
the salmon runs of the west side, but
it also means that all lakes and
streams will receive attention, to the
end that fish food will be greater than
at any time in the past

EFFORT MADE To
MODIFY FOOD BILL
President Thinks That Bone Dry
Prohibition is Neither Necessary
or Desirable at Present.

Washington, June ga determi-
ned effort to modify the food bill be-
fore the senate so that it will be
free from any prohibition provision
of at least so as to grant the presi-
dent authority to permit the use of
of foodstuffs in the manufacture of
beer and light wines was begun by
the administration when the presi-
dent conferred on the question with
Senator Martin, majority leader, and
Gerry of Rhode Island.
Senator Phelan of California, said
that the president desires to be given
authority to stop the manufacture of
malt and vinous liquors in case of an
emergency, but that he did not be-
lieve the prohibition of their manu-
facture to be now necessary or de-
sirable.
The president is understood to feel
that the insistence of the senators on
the bone dry feature has endangered
the early passage of the food bill,
which he earnestly desires.
