PAY YOUR DEBTS

On New Years eve the cost of the
war to the United States stood at s22,.
100000 Practically all OF this
money had been raised by taxation
and by the Liberty loans. The entire
amount which had come into the
Treasury up to that time for war pur-
poses had either been spent or had
been ear-marked for specific bills.
Since the middle of November when
the armistice was signed the govern
ment has been borrowing at the rate
of $500 100000 every two weeks to
meet it's war obligations. At this rate
it will have obtained from the banks
of the nation from four to five billions
of dollars before the beginning of the
fifth Liberty Loan April 81.
The people of the United States,
through their representatives in Con-
gress, voted for the expenditures which
made necessary the borrowing of these
huge sums. The government in antici-
patton of patriotic support from the
country in raising the Victory Liberty
Loan has already paid the bills. In
all justice and honesty the people Of
the United States will not fail their
government and will finish the job by
oversubscribing the last popular war
loan by an even larger percentage
than they did the four which have
gone before.

UNITED WAR VETERANS.

: The United War Veterans, Nation
al organization, has been founded to
include in it's active membership all
veterans of the Civil War, Spanish
war and World war
The objects are: To unite in frater-
nal bonds, through national, state, To-
cal and foreign organizations, all SOL
diers and sailors of the United States;
to perpetuate Memorial Day, as es-
tablished by the Grand Army of the
Republic and to preserve from neglect
the graves of our nations dead; to Sc
cure employment for and assist our
comrades, their widows orphans and
dependent relatives; TO promote 10y
atty mutual aid and cooperation
among them in all lines of endeavor;
to secure from congress and other
legislative bodies the enactment of
laws beneficial to the welfare of our
comrades, and to secure employment
for those who have returned to civil
pursuits in consonance with laws
which prefer honorable discharged
soldiers and sailors for government
service; to provide and establish
homes for orphans and dependent chill
dren of our comrades; and to incul-
cate the principles of universal liberty
and justice to all mankind of loyalty
to our country, reverence for it's insti-
tutions, obedience to its laws and to
discountenance whatever tends to
weaken these sentiments.
The organization consists of active
members, called comrades and in adj
dition thereto an honorary member
ship consisting of persons who per-
formed distinguished or faithful SER
vice or engaged in efforts for the re-
lief OF disabled and suffering soldiers
and sailors or who to a conspicuous
extent became interested in promoting

A gentleman down from the Nelson
country Monday stated that he has
never seen the snow hold so much wa
ter as is now on the ground in that
locality. He stated that the snow was
almost knee deep, and when one step
ped into it the hole so made would at
once almost fill with water. He said
that had two days of warm weather
followed the thaw of Saturday and
Sunday tremendous flood would
have swept over the flats east of town.
As it was there was a vast amount of
water working damage on the flat and
a foot or two more Of it would have
been a calamity If the water runs off
by fits and starts at irregular inter-
walls. though much damage may result
as has already resulted, it would not
be so great as it would be if the en-
tire volume of snow water came down
in one grand rush.
John NJ. Pitman formerly county
commissioner and county treasurer of
this county and for years living on a
ranch on Palmer lake, came in from
Oregon last Friday evening, on his
way to British Columbia where he has
several mining claims upon which he
intends to do extensive work this sum-
mer In early days Mr. Pitman gave a
good deal of attention to prospecting
in this upper country. last summer he
spent several months out in the hills
looking for hidden treasures and was
fortunate in locating two or three
claims upon which the indications of
the presence of minerals are very en-
couraging. Those who are backing his
judgment have put up sufficient means
to permit him to carry on extensive
prospecting The claims are located
near Corson. in British Columbia, a
few miles west of Orovile Mr.. Pitman
is in excellent health and feels conf
dent thot he has something that is
going to repay him for all his time
and labor.

SIGNAL CORPS
FILM TO HELP

"The Price of Peace" Will Be
Shown As Free Attraction
in Twelfth District.

The name of the wonderful new
motion picture prepared by the U. s.
Signal Corps has been changed from
New Glory for Old' to THE Price
of Peace 1t will be shown through
out the Twelfth Federal Reserve Dis
trict as a free attraction although big
producers have offered a fortune for
permission to exhibit it on the regular
circuits.
Here is what Frank R. Wilson,
national director of Liberty Loan pub
licity, said of the MIN after seeing it:

of The Price of Peace and it's Victory
Loan titles. 1t is the greatest film

L. Westecott, who is engaged in the
mercantile business at Nelson, was a
visitor in town Monday. Mr.. Westecott
attended Pullman college with DR..
Lewis, and the old school mates had
very happy reunion. A bright and
pleasing young gentleman is Mr. Wes-
tecott, and we trust that he will have
occasion very frequently to find his
way down to Oroville.
A funny tangle occurred last week
in announcing the change of time in
this paper. 1t was stated that clocks
would be set back" one hour. But for
that matter it would have given just
as much satisfaction among a majority
of people if the hand of the clock had
been pushed back an hour instead of
ahead an hour for in the rural dis
tricts nothing particular is gained by
this change of time.
Buffet service has been resumed on
the railroad between Spokane and
Reptile after a suspension of many
months. While passengers on this
train were deprived of this accommo
dation dinner could be secured at
Marcus, coming or going over the
route, or people could provide them
selves with luncheon before start
ing on the trip and either or both
measures were an annoyance and in
convenience While the buffe. meal
is not the most appetizing provender
in the world, it has it's advantages
over way station grub or the dry, cold
cardboard box lunch that one can
carry to dull the edge of appetite.

between Oroille and Colfax-Palouse
would be shot off Sunday the day that
Oroville, according to the schedule
was remaining out of the shoot. This
statement proved to be a mistake
Oroville did not shoot off the tie Sun
day, but will do so next Sunday. How
ever, the score made by CofaX-Pa

Oroville must beat to win next Sun
day.
Williams & Finnie will probably
start making brick at once. These
manufacturers have won a reputation
throughout this upper country of max
ing the best brick on the market. The
yard was closed down last year owing
to the fact that on account of the war
building operations were entirely sus-
pended and there was no demand for
that class of building material. 1t was
not the intention of Messrs. Williams
and Finnie to start up again, but the
indications of renewed building activ-
ity, the outlook for a market has
greatly improved, besides they have
been solicited by those about to build
to supply the brick. If the contracts

u. S. TO GUARD
BOND p0I.nFRS
FROM CROOKS
Asks for Names of Persons
Trading Worthless Stock
for Liberty Bonds

The United States government has
begun q determined fight against Lib
erty Bond swindlers to protect the
people who periodically responded to
the call for funds to support the war.
All persons who are sent literature
or are approached by dealers per-
suading them to part with their bond
holdings for what are considered spec
ulative or doubtful securities have
been asked by the government to send
the names and addresses of the com
panies to the Federal Trade Commits
sion, Washington, d. c.
The Fedora. Trade Commission will
call for reports in proper cases and
the Federal Trade Act provides that
any company or person making a
false report to the commission will
be heavily fined and imprisoned. The
commission points out that the small
est holder can obtain the same price
as the shark and that all the expenses
of running the fraudulent business of
the Illicit dealers must be borne by
the holder of the bonds.
The government by a successful
campaign at this time hopes to CON
vince prospective buyers of the Vic
tory Loan that it is ready to make
every effort to stand behind holders Of
government bonds.

ever increasing demand is to be met
is pointed out elsewhere in this issue
in an announcement by the Standard
Oil company. Everybody interested in
gasoline including the oil refineries
automobile engineers and the govern
ment itself, is giving a great deal of
| thought to this problem.
The war called the attention of the
people to the drastic need of avoiding
waste. What the Food administration
did to conserve food is still wildly i'm
pr esesd in the memory of everybody
in the country. What the Fuel admin
istration did while just as valuable,
was not so spectacular, and there are
many facts about the conservation of
gasoline and other petroleum pro-
ducts which have not hitherto been
brought out
For the past few years the petrol
cum and automobile industries have
both b cen making great efforts to
keep the supply of gasoline up to the
demand. The oil producers have been
stimulated to find new sources or SUD-
ply and have sunk many new wells.
Oil refineries and chemical engineers
have been improving processes of re-
filming, which have made the crude oil
yield more gasoline than was thought
possible ten years ago. Automobile en-
gineers have constantly improved the
efficiency of engines and the methods
of carburization, so that the gasoline
used will give the greatest power and
mileage.
In spite of all that has been done
the war made it necessary to take still
further measures to keep up the sup
ply. The demand had become so great
that the Fuel administration was fore
ed 20 prohibit in eastern states all
non-essential use of passenger cars.

however, so great was the need of
conserving gasoline in all parts of the
country that President Wilson an
pointed a government committee last
summer to determine on and adont

and other petroleum products. This

They mean that our petroleum re-
sources will be conserved to the best
advantage and that reasonable price
to the motorist will be maintained.
Drafted as they were by impartial
experts these specifications are today
generally considered the most practic-
al standard for gasoline since they
insure efficiency and satisfactory fuel
at reasonable cost.
These specifications for gasoline are
for the benefit of the public as a
whole. They make certain satisrac-
tory gasoline and at the same time
