PEOPLE, NOT
ARMY, NOW
n HOLD STAGE
BY United States Senator George G
Chamberlain, Chairman Military
Affairs Committee Of Senate.

I'VE are rounding out one Of the
greatest, if not the greatest single
drama in the worlds history. The
most tragic scene is over and another
is being acted, and in this scene it Is
the mass of the American people that
hold the center Of the stage rather
than the American armies The lat
ter have practically completed their
work and they played their part with
superb excellence. 1t Is our part now
to finish their work.
I'VE have got to finish financing
the war and to finance the peace
We have got to pay for those things
we bought or contracted for, to take
the best possible care of our soldier
boys and to make them the superb
fighting force that they were We
have got to care for the wounded and
their dependents and the dependents
of those who died in their country's
service. We have got to rehabilitate
our wounded and train them for use
full occupations which they can pur-
sue in spite of loss Of limbs or sight
or other such injuries.
Must Finish Task.
1--WE have got to stand by the peo-
pies of those nations who were asso-
ciated with us in the war against
Germany and who have been under
the cruel hand of German domination.
We have got to finish in all ways
the great and the very glorious task
that America set out to accomplish in
April, 1917, and which so far has been
accomplished with success that
every true American rejoices at and
proud Of.
"This is task that no good Ameri-
can-man, woman or child-will shirk
Or will wish to shirk. And every
one of them, man, woman and child,
can help. Through the Liberty Loan
and War Savings Stamps the United
States offers each and all an opportu-
nifty to contribute to it's great work
of establishing world justice, world
liberty and world enduring peace.
Some of us may not be able to buy Of
the Liberty Loan but practically every
one of us can buy War Savings
Stamps and the purchase of every
War Savings Stamp aids in the great
work. 1t is a great honor to have a
part in this great world drama that
is being played and every purchaser
of a United States Government war
security has a part in it. Never was
so great an honor so cheaply to be
bought, never SO great service SO
easily rendered"

The DOUGHBOYS
HELD THEIR GROUND

From the moment that American
commander said, "Retreat-hell, we
just got here!" in answer to the impor-
tunities of the hard-pressed French, the
American doughboys held every inch of
ground they took. They are now hold
ing ground in Germany. 1t cost them
flesh and blood, comrades dead and
wounded, to win and hold their ground.
1t is costing them the rigors @of army
life and the opportunity of getting
back to paying jobs to hold the Ger
man soil where they are now.
Are you holding your Liberty Bonds
Or. are you giving up hard won terrain
to the enemy?
The boys over there can't retreat.
They have to stick They will go
farther into Germany, probably. They
can't say the war is over and give up.
The least any American can do is to
hold his Liberty Bonds-hold them out
of respect for the men still under arms
If for no other reason. When you sell
Liberty Bond or trade it for some
stock, worthless or otherwise, you are
retreating
That American commander who sa. L,
"Retreat-hell, we Just got here!" was
American flesh and bone. Are you?
Then hold your bonds. Put them in
the bank. Borrow on them if you have
to. But hold them.

facsimile of Last Memorandum Of
Colonel Roosevelt, PenciIed Few
Hours Before He Died.

view the country and the Republican
party are indebted for the publication
of this interesting document which car
rles message from him "who, being
dead, yet speaketh" In the leading
article Of the current number of the
North American Review Colonel Har-
vey sets forth the vital import of this
last penciled notation of Mr.. RoUse-
welt. He says:
"Mr. Roosevelt died the acknowl-
edged leader Of the great party into
which he was born. His last written
words, penciled by his own hand a few
hours before his death and addressed
in the form of a memorandum for the
brilliant young man for whose selec-
ton as Chairman of the National or
ganization he was largely responsible,
were these, as reproduced above in
facsimile:
"'Hays
see him; he must go to Washington
for 10 days; see Senate and House;
prevent split on domestic policies
"Here is evidenced as clearly as if the
few words filled volume Mr.. Roose-
velt's realization Of both his RESPONSE
bility and his obligation. The simple
memorandum marked the Inauguration
of definite party policy, to be carried
through to no less definite conclusion.
1t was more than passing thought or
a mere suggestion. 1t was a Message,
signifying the need of immediate and
unremitting vigilance in achieving
complete unity of action in resolving
domestic problems before attacking
those of wider range soon to be thrust
upon the country-a true soldiers call
first to close the ranks
Nothing could be more characteris-
tic or more clearly illustrative of the
breadth of vision, the foresight, the
directness in method and the painstak-
ing attention of the man. Nothing,
too, probably could have served his
purpose better than that these words
should have been his last. Difficult as
it is to reconcile oneself to the decree
of Divine Providence that the re-
mOval of that great patriot at this cru
cial moment was not untimely, we can
not but realize, as he would have been
the first to acknowledge, that the last
vestige of animoSities which might
have continued to impair his highest
aspirations was buried with him, and
thereby the perfect union which he so
ardently desired against all things un-
American was attained.
"Thus we find the Republican party
resuming full legislative authority
thoroughly united and invigorated by
the peculiar confidence which so often
carried it to victory in former years" ="

YANKS IN ACTION
SHOWN IN BIG
j. 5. LOAN FILM
''New Glory for Old" to Be
Released During Victory
Loan Drive.

The greatest war film ever pro-
duced, New Glory for Old" is to
be distributed throughout the United
States in aid of the Victory Liberty
Loan. In this great film will be
shown every activity of the U. s.
army and navy in the war including
5000 feet of the hardest fighting by
the Yanks.
The five reels of 5000 feet will be
shown as a feature of special Liberty
Loan mass meetings and it is planned
that no admission charge will be
made.
New Glory for Old" was taken
as a part of the pictorial history of
the world war by the United States
Signal Corps and one operator was
killed while operating his camera. 1t
contains the most thrilling pictorial
reproduction of fighting that has yet
been issued.
The American solder is shown in
this film from the time of enlistment
to his arrival in Berlin. No part of
this film has ever been shown and
New Glory for Old' will be held by
the war department for the use of
Liberty Loan publicity.
Many other special films are being
prepared for use in the coming cam
paign. Douglas Fairbanks and Julian
Eltinge have each produced Victory
Liberty Loan films which have been
turned over to the Liberty Loan com
mittee.

A Woman Points the Way

Save while the money is warm" is
the motto of a woman who has estab-
lished reputation both for herself and
her family by the number of War Saw
ings Stamps she bought without appar,
emily stinting in the least. Here is her
system:
'The only way to save is to save.
When l have actually saved a quarter
I put it into thrift stamp without de-
lay. If l save that quarter on one
thing and then spend it carelessly for
something else, l have not saved any
real money.
For example, the other day l went
down town expecting to pay $40 for a
pair of special shoes. To my surprise, |
found there was sale that day, and
got the very pair of shoes I wanted for
SITS. I had saved 1925. But how to
keep it saved. l knew that if | simply
regarded it mentally as saving, before
the end of the month 1t would be spent
miscellaneously. l went right down
stairs in the store and bought nine
thrift stamps and stuck those quarters
in the thrift card where they could not
get away before the end of the month
| do the same thing when | have saved
a single quarter or half dollar, and
am seriously thinking of getting little
penny bank to hold saved pennies or
dimes until they grow to thrift stamp
size. What is more, I am getting a
whole lot of fun out of this most fas,
cinating game, the game Of Getting
Ahoad,'' -

LAST THOUGHTS
OF ROOSEVELT
Desired Republicans to Close
Ranks and Give Attention
to Domestic Issues.
TANGIBLE EVIDENCE OF WISH.
Colonel Harvey in North American Re-

Roosevelt.

Theodore Roosevelt's last thoughts
were Of the great domestic issues of
his country, issues whose determina-
ton will decide the veal or woe of the
next generation. He saw in a united
Republican party, just given vote of
confidence and commission to formu-
late and carry into action policies of
reconstruction, the guarantee of the
prompt recognition and successful
handling of these domestic problems.
Tangible evidence of this is a memo

ROOSEVELT'S DEPARTING
WORDS TO HIS COUNTRYMEN

Col. Roosevelt died about O'Clock
on the morning of January g. The
previous evening at a great patriotic
rally in the New York Hippodrome a
message was read from him, written
especially for the occasion. In it was
this striking sentence:
1--WE have room for but one flag, the
American flag, and this excludes the
red flag, which symbolizes all wars
against liberty and civilization just as
much as it excludes any foreign flag
of nation to which we are hostile,
y and we have room for but one
soul loyalty, and that is loyalty to the
American people"

DRAGGED over
FROZEN ROADS
RANCHER MEETS DEATH AS A
RESULT OF ACCIDENT ON
FARM SLED
Frightened Horses Drag Owner Over
Rough Road While He Clings
to Tongue With His Hands

Bergman G. Mathis, who has re-
sided with his family on homestead
in the Basin country, a few miles
west of Orin, for the past is years,
met his death in frightful accident
near his home last Saturday. In the
afternoon he htched his team to the
front gear of logging sled and
drove to the woods to secure an
allowance of fuel for the coming
week. While driving along the road,
in some unaccOuntable way, he was
thrown forward between the horses
which became frightened and ran
away. He clung with both arms to
the tongue of the vehicle as the only
safe means of avoiding being crushed
by the sled if he should relinquish
his hold His body was suspended
beneath and his feet both dragged
over the rough ground his legs and
feet were pounded to a pulp as he
bounced over the stumpy center of
the road. He finally succeeded in
stopping tie team, dragged himself
out of his dangerous refuge and
drove some distance to the house. He
was helped to his room where he
died less than half an hour after
wards.
county, Tennessee, where he was
born Ga years ago. While young
man he went to Texas and from
there came to Colville where he rear
ed his family. He is survived by his
wife, Mary Jane Mathis, and seven
children: Lawrence Mathis of Waco,
Texas; Mrs. Catherine Martin, Mrs.
Sallie Miller, Thomas H. Mathis and
James Mathis, Of Orin; Benjamin
Mathis Of Deer Park and Mrs. Ger
trude Staehl of Marcus.
The funeral was held on Monday
at the McCord undertaking parlors,
the services being conducted by Rev.
John M. Higgins, pastor of the Con-
gregational church. Burial was had
at Highland cemetery.
Mr.. Mathis was man of sterling
qualities. He was res0lute in his
convictions, honest and Industrious,
and was especially fond of his fam
lily and was faithful friend.

ethis fight against the organization
of this district" Mr.. Thomas stated
that the farmers of his district had
always spent their money at home
hiring the boys to trap and shoot
squirrels and in that way had kept
them down and kept the money at
home instead of spending it for
poison, the money so expended going
to eastern manufacturers. He as
sumed that if the farmer had enough
interest in ibis business to protect it
he would kill his own squirrels and
know that it was done. He said
that it was dangerous policy, this
indiscriminate distribution of poison
to everyone, many of whom would
be careless in spreading it to the
detriment of range stock, and even
children would fall victims. The
.lumbermen, said Mr.. Thomas, organ
ize to combat fire and do not ask
Owners of prairie lands to contribute.
\ Others spoke in a similar vein and
evoked liberal applause. 1t was
evident that there was sentiment
strongly opposed to the formation
of the district
Although the board of county COM
missioners took the whole case under
advisement and will hold another
meeting in January when they will
render their decision it is claimed
that majority of the farmers of
the county are favorable provided
the details can be worked out salts
factorily.

DAYS OF REAL SPORT

(The Occasional Visitor)

There were number of ads in the

looking for. was trying to decide
which is Colville's most beautiful
store.-Now, if might have visited
Colville in the flesh, it would not
have taken me long. 1t is very easy,
this matter Of picking out the love-
liest store just week before Christ
mas.
In the first place, it need not be a
big emporium. A little, cluttered
ten-cent shop will do just as we'll
no, better. You feel there a joyful
sense of the possibility of being suf-
ficintly in cash to buy something
But the main thing is to be just
about knee-high to grasshopper
yourself, just tall enough to see what
is on the table if you stand on tiptoe
and stretch your scrawny little neck
way up out of year-before-last's
coat collar.-And on that table should
be something that will bob its head
or rock-a-by or ting-aling-ling or

as one human being to another, isn't
that the most beautiful store In the
world?

a rental of so cents a month to the
owner OF the line. which in this case
was nearby town.
They read their meters and report
