CONCERT TO RAISE FUNDS
For STARVING CHILDREN

There will be a concert given at
the NJ. f. church on Tuesday Jan.
%, at S:l5 p. m. The proceeds of
this concert will be used to help to
bring up Colville's quota for the
starving children of Europe.
To date, something less than $3.50
has been subscribed for this cause,
leaving large part of the quota of
$500 to be raised. 1t is hoped that
this concert will help complete the
Colville quota
The purchase of twenty-five cent
ticket does not release any of US
from our full share of responsibility
in this matter. 1t requires the sale
of four such tickets to keep alive
one child for one month cover there"
Surely each one of the citizens Of
Colvile will subscribe fully to this
cause and then buy ticket besides,
that the concert shall merely supple
ment and round out the efforts al
ready made.
The program is in charge of Miss
Violet j. Hallowell, and on the pro-
gram is T. P. Douglas Of Valley,
whom many will remember for his
delightful Scotch songs he sang here
last spring. The Baker Studio is
donating a Marshall and Wendell
Ampico player piano for the evening.
The tickets will be sold by a group
from each Sunday school in Colville
and a lady from each church will
assist with the decorating. The Boy
Scouts will have some duties assigned
to item.
Gone and add quarter to what
you have already given.

THE FAMILY ALBUM
OF OUR GOVERNMENT

For five months there has been
mailed to many homes throughout
this community a series Of illustrated
articles on the activities and achieve
ments of the different departments of
the United States government. The
writer's of this series of stories have
succeeded admirably in keeping away
from the old stereotyped style of
government articles and in showing
in a fascinating way how each of the
various factors of our government
serves the individual man, woman
and child.
The text is written in popular
style and gives a clear idea of the
duties of the United States govern
ment departments and of the work
Of each Of them in furthering the in
dividual interests of every resident
