TO FINISH the JOB
MEN WORKERS, THE MINUTE
WOMEN ND BOY SCOUTS
HELP SELL BONDS
John Meehan the First Purchaser of
Victory Loan BOnd-Soldiers
Among First TO Buy

"Sure, We'll finish the job" is
the sentiment found among Victory
Loan workers and subscribers this
week at the beginning Of the drive.
Colville expects to reach it's quota
of $162,950 without serious diff
Guilty, for contrary to pessimisti;
expectations, people are glad to
meet the last loan call to pay for
the victory that is theirs. City
Chairman C. A. Buchanan has a
committee of men workers, the Col
vile Minute Women and the Boy
Scouts of the city ready to do their
part in selling the loan.
John Meehan of Bissell has the
honor of being the first purchaser
of the Fifth Loan in Colville. He
bought $1,000 worth of the Victory
Loan notes the week before the sale
opened, following the sale of his
ranch near Bssell. He was much
pleased to be the first purchaser in
Colville.
The first bond sold by Chairman
Buchanan was to soldier. This
Colville boy was not satisfied with
what he had already done and ex-
pressed his desire to help out the
loan. An interesting story is told
of man who some people thought
in the last drive to be proc German.
This man, whose son was in the war,
said the other day that he was get
ting ready for the Victory Loan. He
said his son rather thought he had
done his share, but that he had
told him no one had done his part
until he had done all he could. So
the son and father are ready to do
their part in the Victory Loan. 1t
makes you feel that you had better
be careful about calling anyone a
"pro- German" doesn't it?
Those who purchased bonds dur
ing the first day Of the drive in
Colville were John Meehan, Bissell !;

LOCAL PROBLEMS
INTEREST LEAGUE
SCHOOL ATHLETICS, STREETS.
AND LEADERSHIP UNDER
DISCUSSION
Thirty New Members Added to Civic
League at the Meeting Held
Last Sunday

School athletics, street improve
ments and the developing of leaders
among our young people We're the
leading subjects discussed Sunday
evening at the meeting of the Col
vile Civic League in the M. E.
church. Atty. F. Leo Grinstead,
Senator w. Lon Johnson and w. P.
Hauser of Pullman were the speak
ers of the evening, and Quinn w.
McCord acted as chairman.
Athletics which would be of bene-
fit to u larger number of students
were urged by Mr.. Grinstead in his
talk on athletics in the school. The
last legislature passed law which
makes physical training compulsory
in the schools and provides for an
average of 20 minutes day in the
grade schools and 80 minutes a week
in the high schools to be devoted to
this training. Mr.. Grinstead stated
that the present system of school
athletics is faulty in that there is a
lack of properf organization due. to
the winning team being the ideal
instead Of the improvement of indi-
vidual physique. A small number of
athletes are developed and the train
ing is given to those who need it
least, as it is usually the athletic
type which enters such activities.
The need for street improvements
in Colville was Senator Johnson's
subject. He spoke in favor of paw
ing at least three blocks of the main
street this year, and suggested that
First avenue leading to the depot
should be paved and improved, the
whole city being made into an inn
provement district to pay for it.
The latter street, he urged, is used
by everyone and is the street over
which all our merchandise is car
ried from the depot. 1t is this
street which gives newcomers theii
first impression Of Colville, and it is
of interest to every citizen to have
The Colville examiner. [volume] (Colville, Wash.) 1907-1948, 1919-04-26

it improved. Senator johnson re-
minded his audience that the Inland
Empire highway would be finished
in the near future and that it
would be popular tourist thor
oughfare. He said that it would
give travellers the impression that
Colville was not progressive if they
should pass from fine hard-sur-
faced road to bumpy city streets.
Mr. Hauser, who is Y. M. C. A.
worker at Washington State College,
spoke on the subject of developing
leadership among the young people,
so that the world would have lead
ers during the critical years before
it. He said that Christianity should
be applied to the industrial and eco
nomic life as well as the religious.
In spite Of the criticism which has
been made Of the Y. M. C. A., it is
a rather pertinent fact, according to
Mr.. Hauser, that the governments
w VIC OtlCI Sluc VI lIle wafer dft
asking for Y. M. C. A. leaders to be
sent them.
An enjoyable part of the evening
was the community singing led by
Mr.. Hauser, with Miss Violet J.
Hallowell at the piano The Colville
high school students responded to
request to sing the Victory Loan
song and went to the platform where
they were led by Miss Hallowell in
singing "Uncle Sammy, Here's My
Share"
Thirty new members were added
to the membership list of the Civic
League when application cards
were distributed through the audi
ence. There were % charter men,
bers, and the League hopes to inter-
est all the citizens of Colville in the
new league for civic betterment.

MAKES DURABLE FENCE
SapIings Planted Years Ago Serve as
Posts.

A fence that has no posts was re-
Gently cited by lumber expert as an
object lesson in the utility of wood.
This fence without posts is on the big
road to Monroe, Mich.
So many years ago that nobody in
that section knows when it was, nor
who was the labor-saving genius who
did it, this fence was built by forcing
split boards between saplings. Then
the trees grew.
They kept growing, until now they
are Of immense size, and deeply i'm
.bedded in them are the ends of those
old rails. 1t is impossible to tell how
far they extend into the tree trunks.
They are weathered, yet they ring as
true under hammer as though just
hewn.
It happened that the trees formed
a boundary line for one Of the old
tracts. The growth of the trees around
the rail ends has created one of the
most substantial fences imaginable.

TAME CROW IN PERIL
Bird Brings Wild Mates to Owners

Bird Brings Wild Mates to Owners
cornfieId.
Last August Simon Tixel of Plat
Center. N. Y, while working In the
woods, caught young crow. He
brought it home and it became very
tame and a great pet, but its life is
now iu jeopardy, Tixel declares.
For the past few weeks, he says,
his farm has been overrun with wild
crows. His tame crow flies into the
woods, perched itself upon limb of
q tree, caws few times, and soon the
tree is full of crows. Then the tame
crow flies home, followed by the wild
ones. Tixel says he has no objection
to the crow bringing home it's broth
ers, but when he coaxes them into
his barn and they begin to banquet on
his oats, corn and wheat, it is more
than he can stand. He will give the
crow one more chance, and If it does
not stop it's performance off goes its
head.
Tixel says he has shot close to 100
crows in his barn, but it does not de-
plete the ranks. They have eaten at
least ten bushels Of grain, he de-

needs Of the community. And he left
it to the Germans themselves to decide
which long distance telephone lines
they wanted to use most. and put 1t up
to the municipal authorities and the
chamber Of commerce and the Ger

The Germans requested that five
trunk lines be reopened for public use
as being most essential to business;
and this request was complied with.
Later, as business increased, three
more long distance telephone lines
were reopened to the public, so that
