REPORT UNIFORM DESECRA-
TORS TO PROSECUTOR

Recently there has appeared in the
western states a team of discharged
soldiers who, after fighting in the
recent war to uphold the dignity and
principles of our flag and the United
States uniform, insist upon belittling
and desecrating the uniform by wear
ing it to arouse the sympathy of the
public in general to the purchase of
unofficial and fake phamplets, maya
zines, etc.
In majority of instances it has
been found that the men wearing the
uniform for peddling, hawking and
panhandling on the streets and from
door TO door, are not bona fide sol
diers but are using this method to
take nefarious advantage of popular
sentiment. This practice is in di-
rect violation of the national defense
act of June 3, 1916, and subjects the
offender to punishment by fine o
$500 or imprisonment not to exceed
six months, or both.
The real American soldier is abso-
lutely and positively OPPOSED to the
use of the uniform for commercial
purposes, becaupse the sight of a
soldier peddling, panhandling, can
vassing or soliciting in uniform

SPRING PLANS FOR PAVING,
AND BETTER COLVILLE
CBy the Occasional Visitor)

Spring is here. The smell Of the
bonfire is in the air. Ma is beating
Tugs and washing windows. Pa is
spading the garden and painting the
porch. Johnny is collecting old tin
cans for the cleanup trucks. And
the city fathers are planning pave
mentS.
1t is an indefnabe thing, this mat
ter of the Importance of pavcments
to town, largely perhaps social
thing. Colville with pavements is a
better, bigger Colville than Colville
without pavements just as Mr.. Citi-
zen is a bigger, better man with
good suit of clothes, u haircut, new
paint on his house and a floWerbed
in the front yard. There is some
thing very selfrespecting about a
town with good streets.
But good streets mean more than
this. They express certain degree
of municipal selfrealization. The
whole municipal idea, indeed, rests
upon the principles Of communica-
ton and cooperation which they en-
body. Rome achieved unity largely
through her wonderful roads. Per-
haps through it's new pavcmentS, Col
vile may attain to a greater and
finer civic consciousness.

MARBLE AND GRANITE WORKS
GROWING INTO BIG BUSINESS

The hum of an electric motor is a
very pleasant sound giving to the
listener a feeling that here he has
found efficiency.
This sound is what attracts atten-
ton on the Main street Of Colville,
in front of the Colville Marble and
Granite company.
This comparatively new industry
was organized in January, 1919, and
since that time has gradually been
adding to the plant.
The plant is in full operation and
consists of electric motor, air COM
pressor, polishing machine, surfac-
ing machine, and pneumatic lettering
tools.
The company uses Vermont and
Georgia marble of which they have
a carload on hand, and one carload
on the way from Vermont. They
also carry a stock of the famous
Barre granite in the different colors.
The company has a granite quarry
about four miles from town from
which practically all of their base
stock is quarried.
1t is very interesting to watch the
different processes through which the
rough stones go to come in finish
ed article, with any manner of de.
sign to suit the customer carved on
the smooth polished surface of
rock
The modern, up-to-date machinery
makes it possible to turn out the very
best grade of work with surprising
rapidity.
The business done by the company
extends we'll north into British Co
lumbia, and south through Spokane
to Sprangle, Creston, Cheney and
other Big Bend counties.
The people of Stevens county are
supporting their home industry in
very commendable way, and rarely
an order is shipped in except by some
one who is nonresident. Ferry
county residents are also very liberal
purchasers and strong boosters for
their county products.

THE CHAMBER OF COMMERCE.
HOLDS INTERESTING MEETING

w. p. Romans of the Spokane
Chamber Of Commerce was in Col
vile Tuesday and arranged for
meeting with the Colville Chamber
and representatives Of the various
business houses Of the city
An informal round table talk was
taken up at the council rooms and
various civic and community prob
lens were discussed Mr.. Romans
is an able speaker and urged clos
er unity between the business houses
and farmers and the community in
which we live
The question was brought up "How
can the ColVile Chamber Of Com
merce assist and help the commun-
ity and country tributary to the
city," Many good points were
brought out, and general invitation
is extended to the people Of this
community to bring before the
Chamber any grievances or any sug-
gestions which the Chamber
Commerce as a body can take up and
improve or enlarge upon.
Mr.. Romans believes that the
people as a whole, do not appreciate
the opportunity Of live working
chamber of commerce in a commun-
ity; It's possibilities and achievements
are broad and unlimited when they
have the support of the people.
Every man who has at heart the
betterment of the community IN
which he lives should be a working
member of the chamber of commerce,
and this applies to the farmer as
well as to the city man.
Moral, be a member, bring men,

Yours for better community, the

creates the falacious impression that
he has been neglected and is obliged
to resort to the public through the
patriotic appeal of his uniform, to
make a living AS one eX-service-
man puts it: "There are crooks and
crooks, but about the meanest crook
of them all is the crook who dis
guises himself as soldier and, under
cover of the glorious uniform, or even
an imitation of it, swindles the pa
triotic with various unworthy money
raising schemes"
The war and navy departments are
opposed to any such misuse of the
uniform; the American Legion is OPP
posed to it; the public should not en-
courage it.
