into the line of work outlined above.
Among the many stores and stocks
purchased by Casey e. Sons were:
One at Latah, two at Waysidc, one
at Davenport, one at Bonners Ferry,
one at Rathdrum, one at lone, one at
Newport, one at Clifford (Idaho),
one at Priest River, one at Rockford,
one at Kennewick, one at Wenat-
chez, one at Republic, one at Spo-
kane, one at Oroville, one at Meyers
Falls, one at Clayton, and two at
Colvile-Pierce & English, and The
Toggery. These stocks were bought
at from 45c to 60c on the dollar
and they invoiced all the way from
$ll00 to $20,500.
The Leader Department Store, one
of the progressive business institu
tions which Colville is proud to
have on her Main street, was pur-
chased by Casey & Sons from d. J.
Burk five years ago. Beginning with
about IL employees, the Leader bust
ness has grown until from 16 to 20
salespeople are necessary to serve
the public. The sons are following
in their fathers footsteps, for in the
store are J. d. Casey, president and
general manager; Claude c. Casey,
vice president and assistant mana
ger; Jesse Casey, head Of the mems
clothing department; Burlie Casey,
in the mems clothing department;
and Howard Casey, in the grocery
department.
The Leader store building is COX
1870, with basement, and warehouse
4Ox100. To the left, on entering the
store, is the dry goods department,

Mother the warehouseman. Satur-
days the grocery department fairly
huns with activity.
Upstairs in the office j. C. Clark
runs things. He is chief bookkeeper
and has been with the Leader about
as long as any employee. He is
never off duty except on rare occa-
sions, such as one day when his
fivver baked and hurt his foot SO
that he had to hold it on a chair
for several days.
Miss Irma Wingham is the capa-
Bile cashier. J. d. Casey has his Of
flee in the balcony.
The Leader stock invoiced 100000
when Casey g. Sons purchased it.
Today the stock would not invoice
less than 100000, for the business
and goods have more than doubled.
The Leader was one of the few
stores in northeastern Washington
to be put under federal license when
the food administration required Ii
censes of all firms doing business
of more than 100000 a year.
Mr. Casey and his sons attribute
the Leaders success largely to the
employees, who have been loyal and
enthusiastic in supporting the bust
ness. They feel grateful to the
Deople of this vicinity for the pat
ronage extended, and hope to make
the Leader one among the largest
department stores of the Inland EN-
pire. j. d. Casey has served as
president of the Colville Chamber of
Commerce, and was one of the first
merchants to institute weekly meet
ings of his employees for discussions
of general and store problems.

Paid to Producer
FUNERAL SERVICES HELD
FOR BENJAMIN ASPEND

The funeral of Benjamin Aspend,
whose death Sunday in Spokane
caused more real sorrow in Colville
than this city has known for some
time, was held Thursday afternoon
at the McCord undertaking parlors.
Business houses were closed and the
chapel was filled with those who had
come to pay their last respects to
one who had been a real friend and
respected citizen. About thirty
members of the Odd Fellows lodge
attended in a body. The many
wreaths, sprays and floral pieces
testified to the place Mr.. Aspend
had held in the hearts of fellow
members of fraternal organizations
and his fellow townsmen. Among
them was wreath of roses and car
nations with the Odd Fellow emblem,
wreath erected on base from
the Knights of Pythias lodge, cres-
cent of carnations from the Rebekah
lodge and Tyre made of roses and
carnations sent by the members of
the Colville band, and many wreaths
and sprays sent by individuals.
Rev. Leonard Carver officiated.
Misses Marie and Alice DeGreif
sang a beautiful duet, accompanied
by Miss Lillian Acorn at the organ.
The pail bearers were Dale Jones,
George Roth, Chauncey st. Clair,
Al Miller, Lewis Thurber and Henry
Lambert of ChewcIah. Burial took
place at Highland cemetery. Ben
iamin Aspend was born in 1883 and
was native Of Norway. He came
to the United States and to Colville
nineteen years ago and with his un-
Gle, Thomas A. Aspend, learned the
BARRIERS trade. His shop was known
as "Ben's barber shop" and he was
considered one of the best in his
chosen line of work. He was a
member of the Colville band ever
since it was first organized and the
old band members viii miss him
kcenly. He was loved by them all.
In November Of 1908 Mr.. Aspend
was married to Miss Emma Graham,
the daughter of Sheriff w. H.
Graham. He is survived by his
widow, daughter Wilma, seven
years of age; two brothers, John
Aspend of Echo and Paul Aspend
of British Columbia; also an uncle,
Thomas A. Aspend of Colville. The
deceased had not been well for three
or four years, but his condition be-
came worse about six months ago
and he was taken to Spokane.
Heart failure was the cause of his
death at the Edgeclff sanatorium
in that city Sunday. Members of
the family had visited him the week
before his death and thought he was
improving. Miss Mollie Graham
and Mrs. Matte Buchanan were at
the sanatorium the evening before
he died and wrote Colville relatives
that he seemed to be much better.
News of his death came as shock
to all who knew him.

Colville. Miss Alvina Storm, who
has been with the Leader for sew

Miss Connie Casey are in this de-
partment.

pride in building the stores reputa-

Everything from logger's boots to
kid and satin pumps for dancing
parties may be found here.
On the right of the store is the
mems clothing department, which
has grown rapidly in recent years
until it has wide selection of
mems and boys wearing apparel.
Extending across the rear, on the
first floor, is the grocery department
with well-stocked shelves and re-
serve supplies in the wareroom in
the rear. b. f. Stringham, who is
built on the long, slender plan, but
has the kind of eyes that twinkle
and make you like him, is head of
this department. With farmers
bringing their produce and towns
people coming to stock their larders,

Among Business Houses
s:sslf slyla

John ID. Casey and sons have had
a part in making business history,
not only in Colville but in the state
of Washington Mr.. Casey and fam
lily came west from Arkansas in 1900
and after spending three years at
kalispell, Montana, went to Hillyard
and started in business.
That was 16 years ago. He pur-
chased business lot and built the
first brick building in the city of
Hillyard. 1t was two stories high
and had full basement, and cost
$1,000. A general line of merchan-
disc was installed. He conducted
the Hillyard business for three years
and saw it grow into one of the
largest and NOSE prosperous bust
ness houses in Hillyard. At the end
of this time both building and mer-
chandise were sold to Anderson Bros.
& Slough of Spokane, the merchan-
disc invoicing about $4,000
After this sale Mr. Casey made "A
trip east, and studied business con-
ditions. He discovered that there
were more business failures being
recorded than at any previous time,
so on his return to Spokane he got
in touch with the Spokane Mer-
chants Association and was regis
tered as a prospective buyer of
stores either in the hands of the as
ISOLATION or in the federal courts.
In September of 1907 he ventured

in demanding tn recall of boys from Russia are bolshevists,
 Speaking of traditions it is contrary American traditions that American soldiers should be fighting in foreign lands against those who have afforded no special grievance. We fought the Germans in France. That was something all Americans could understand and approve could do otherwise. But why are fighting in Russia is something rather obscure Hateful as bolshevism is. Americans are interested only in putting it down and keeping it down in America It is no of the average Anieri- can that it should flourish in Russia or elsewhere.
 We can easily see what great interest the Euro pean neshbors of Russia have in suppressing it; what threatening evil it is to them; it may be ad mtted that alone they combat it. but still that does not in the popular view, warrant pardcpa- tion in the combat.
 This is a cery common, national, though perhaps unneighborly view. It is not easily that the end of the left uor soldiers in Russia fighting side by side with those of the other allies. The British and the French were there and have found it rather difficult to extrieate ourselves if We had desired to do
 The countrymen or these soldiers could only what they themselves saW-that the were gagged in a far-off inhospitable country in

The Amended Covenant

So far as can be gathered from the summary of the amended covenant of the League of Nations, a complete surrender has been made to the objectors 10 the original covenant The complete text of the section relating to the Monroe Doctrine leaves doubt absolute protection of that the strength enng of the doctrine itself. The exercise of manda tory power lies with every member of the league that there is surrender of sovereignty there. The right of a member to withdraw from the League definitely announced There appears be no inter with our domestic affairs. The summary is not quite clear to the submission of disputes to international tribunal-where there is such a dis tnction between justiciable and -usticiabe dis putes critics of the former covenant demand cd There has since been objection to the pro vision relating to armaments but do not think that is well founded.
 One thing may be pretty accurately counted upon and that is that those who imagine there going be anything fainty approaching disarmament are destined to bitter disappointment
 In the disturbed condition of continental Europe
 condition that must prevail for years, the great powers of France and Italy, must maintain great ar maments The British land forces would naturally be reduced without agreement but it is certain that the British will consent to reduction of wooden wall" That will determine to q large extent our naval program and imagine that while the League will lay down rules with reference to arnaments they will be so liberal that of the great powers will feel the slightest restriction.
 There will no doubt be objections to the constitu- ton in its amended form. Some of them may be honest; there may still be provisions of doubtful meaning; but the essential points have been made plain and in accord with the American view The lesser objections may be waived Differences as to them may be safely regarded as having been com promised
 There are though objectors of both parties to any League of Nations but they are out of joint with public sentiment Tine great mass of the people want such family of nations. They want anything that will prevent tend to prevent or to throw anything however slight in the way of another great war
 The changes that have been made appear to be complete acceptance of the suggestions Of Mir Root and Mir. Lodge, acquiesced in by MT. Taft Dr. Lowell and Mir Hughes

Phoenix and the Valley

We do not believe the people of Phoenix. that is. the people who stay here all the time so have opportunity to compare the town with other towns, realize how prosperous it is. But it's prosperity is instantly noted by those who here from all other parts the country nearly everywhere else there is complaint that things have slowed down; that employment is serious problem
 Business in all lines that visitors all unite in the declaration that if they were going to start in business they would start in Phoenix. And the coming season promises to be still better
 Early last fall there a scarcity of houses; rents high, perhaps higher than anywhere else in the country notwithstanding there been great deal of residence building. Some house owners were
 little fearing that in the spring they would be left with empty houses on their hands. But the unusual has happened. In spite of winter Of fever sh building it is almost difficult to get a house it last fall Leases are being taken by the year by persons who had intended to remain only the winter and there has been little or no dimnu- tion of rentals. The growth of the town is beyond the calculations of the most optimistic
 As good judge and analyst perhaps as there is in the country recently spent ten days here-Mr Robert Ward, of New York and Chicago head of one of the great advertising agencies. MT. Ward came here study the field investigation was thor ough He was at first amazed at the prosperity of Phoenix and then he discovered the causes-the null itplcity of it's resourcesthe many industries which contribute. Many of these industries are small but some of them large-for instance. the cotton growing industry the production of alfalfa feeding of live stock-and then there the additions which the wool growing industry brings in. Though none of these likely to fail, the town and the valley are dependent upon of them. The result of the investigation of Mir. Ward will be made known among the people of the where knowledge will count to the advantage of Phoenix and the valley.

Our Soldiers Abroad

It will take something more than the wild con- jectures of General March the chief staff. that the so-esled "nutiny" of the American soldiers at Archangel produced by boshevist propaganda; his detected resemblance between the questions the soldiers asked their officers certain bolshevst ieafet of which General March had heard but had seen. That seems mighty shadowy thing which serious and disgracofu charge should be lodged against American soldiery. Nor is the citation of the chief staff Of the that it is not in the traditions Of the American army that American soldiers refused 10 fight apropos
 Whether tradition is to be maintained not depends upon circumstances and in the history of this country have American soldiers served in .cumstances similar to those which surround men in Northern Russia
 They animated by very much the same senti- sment as that which has been so widely expressed at home, such as doubt entertained by a very
 large majority of the American people, such as have sDeen prcssed by such Senator Hiram John- son concerning whose patriotism thes can be no soh. And certainly tho men who ha < been fore-
