Fans are just beginning to find out what a sterling character has been lost to baseball because Arthur Fletcher vol untariy has given up the game. There's huge chunk of truth in the statement that not nearly enough of the Fletcher type are being attracted to the profess sional side of the diamond battle.

A new calculating machine which
will add, subtract, multiply and di-
vide is to be put on the market
through a company which is being
organized in Colville. The machine
is called the Midget Marvel" a
term which fitly describes it, for the
machine is so small that it can be
carried in the vest pocket, yet it
does the things that an 8-column
Burroughs will do, and then some.
Ivan L. Hoffer for 20 years a
resident of Stevens county, is the
inventor; John M. Sholund is vice
president, and Atty. F. Leo Grin
stead is secretary-treasurer. Stock

A new SERVICE
FOR COLvILLE

The Colvile Electric Service Sta
ton has the distinction of being
the only station of its kind north of
Spokane. This station aside from the
regular service for car batteries and
car ignition systems, takes care of all
kinds of repair work on electrical
appliances, including electric irons,
washing machine and swing machine
motors, electric heating pads, electric
sweepers, electric toasters, etc.
Earle r. Gates and Curtis Clinton
compose the firm which has been op-
Grating the service station since No
vember of last year. Overhauling
and rebuilding batteries is one of the
specialties of the station. Mr.. Gates
states that it pays to rebuild bat
teries 8 to IA months old as they will
then give service for another season
without further trouble, but that a
battery over IA months old which
needs repair should be replaced by a
new one.
Winter storage of batteries is one
of the features of the service rem
dered at this station. A battery left
in an idle car or put on shelf in
the cellar will wear out quicker than
one that is being recharged by oc-
casional use in car according to
Mr.. Gates. When battery is stored
at the service station, it is put on a
charge line and kept in condition.
Dry storage does not cost the owner
of the battery anything. All that is
required is two or three days notice
in the spring before the battery is
wanted, then the station will over
haul and put the battery in condition.
Prior to the opening of the SER
vice station, which is located on the
north side of west First avenue in
building formerly used for a feed
store, Mr.. Gates for three years op-
Grated the Pacific garage and Mr..
Clinton was in charge of the electri-
cal department. About November
first Mr.. Gates sold the garage to
Culver & Richardson of Spokane.
Mr.. Gates has lived in Colville. and
vicinity for the past twelve years,
during which time he was a farmer
and stock man and secretary of the
Livestock Association for some time.
For two years he was county auditor.
Curtis Clinton is the electrical genius
of the firm and about five years ago
was one of the firm of Benedict &
Clinton operating a garage on south
Main street in Colville. During his
career as an automobile electrician
he has been head of the electrical
department of Spokane garage, op-
Grated garage at Marcus, Nelson
and Roundup, Montana.

MORE ACTION AND LESS TALK
ABOUT CONDITION OF ROADS
(By the Observer)

Did you ever stop and listen to
the men talk, or catch a chance word
or two as you pass along the
street? No matter where nor when,
nor how, nor what about, when
man starts talking he always ends
by talking about good roads
1t seems the men have much to
say about money wasted every year
by wrong methods Of road building.
Now, if there is method of building
a road so that it will stay built,
why isn't the vast sum of money
spent every year in building roads,
spent in building them the right
way? Why not have one good road
this year, one that will last for
several years, instead of dribbling
the money over all the roads in the
county and accomplishing nothing
but the spending of the peoples
money and next year build another
good road and in the course of time
have good roads all over the county?
OF course, every one would want
the first good road, so what is the
use, anyway, of trying to do any
thing but spend the money as it has
been spent in the past, in trying to
satisfy every one at once, and there
by keeping everyone dissatisfied.
But, would it not be logical to work
on the most travelled road first, pro
viding it needs it?
Why not copy the Jap-talk little,
try hard and always remember that
a pound Of action beats ten pounds
of talk. A little less talk and a
little more action ought to cause a
lot Of talk about the GOOD roads Of
Stevens county.

MERCHANTPOL|CE
is INSTITUTED

A merchant police system has been
instituted in Colville, with VIM. Lou
don as chief of the new service.
Duties of the merchant police are to
look after the interests of business
firms which unite in hiring this pro-
lection. The round of the mercantile
establishments is made at least every
half hour, and on many occasions
quicker, the officer having no set
time for making his appearance, his
business being to keep close watch
for fire, burglary, accidents, suspi-
cious characters, ETC., and to look
after unlocked doors and windows, see
that lights are kept burning where
they are intended, and to generally
care for the interests of his patrons.
In case of fire in any part of the
city, the merchant police will remain
on the job in the business district,
the work being in no way connected
with that of the city chief of police.
Mr.. Loudon has had a number of
years experience as city policeman,
and most of the business houses are
now covered by merchant police pro-
lection.

non gave the boys a heart to heart
talk on what to do, and what not

APPRECIATION CLASSES
TO BE FORMED IN MARCH

quiring no home study and no techni-
cal knowledge of music, are being
formed by Miss Violet J. Hallowell

BAPTIST CHURCH PROPERTY
DECIDED TO CONVENTION

At recent meeting Of the mem
bers of the Baptist church Of Col
vile, it was voted to deed the par
sonage in trust to the Eastern Wash
ington and Northern Idaho Baptist
Convention, the convention to assume
all obligations which the local church
could not handle on the parsonage,
which consist of a S70O sidewalk
assessment. A deed TO the church
property was also turned over to the
convention, they to assume a mort
gage due the Church Home Mission
Society of New York. The parsonage
had belonged exclusively to the local
members, but they were not able to
meet the heavy sidewalk assessment
and preferred deciding to the Baptist
Convention rather than let the
property go to the city. As it is
now with the deed in the hands of
the Baptist convention, the work Of
the church will continue uninterrupted
and the convention will put a pastor
here as soon as one is available.
The Baptist convention has con
tributed sums of money from time
to time to the work of the church
here and expect to continue their
help and rather than see the property
lost to the church, they made this
offer assuming the obligations Of the
church in return for deed Of trust,
as security for the money they eX-
pend.

Daugherty Denouncedfor
Attitude Toward Debs
Democratic Representative Asks
House Reason for Trip to
W ashingtOn Unguarded

From The Tribune's Washington Bureau
WASHINGTON, W April 90 ATTORNEY
General Daugherty was assailed on the
floor of the House to-day by Repre-
sentative William F. Stevenson, Demo
crat, of South Carolina, for permitting
Eugene V. Debs to make a visit to
Washington without guard.
What did Mr.. Debs do when the
boys were at the front and why is he
in prison in Atlanta, and whv this
propaganda around here to get him
out?' demanded Mr.. Stevenson when
our boys were facing the crisis of the
war Mr.. Debs was out in Ohio asking
the workingmen to cut off the supplies
for our soldiers?
And yet but few weeks ago it was
intimated he was to be pardoned. He
was accorded remarkable privilege
of divesting himself of his prison garb,
OF having an escort of honor to the
station and going to Washington to
present his case to the Attorney Cen
eral in person, going back unguarded." ;"
Mr. Stevenson was interrupted by
Representative Herrick, of Oklahoma a,
who said: "The gentleman will recog-
nize that Mr.. Debs was man enough
to go back to prison"
Yes, and | can bring plenty of
moonshiners from Atlanta that will do
the same thing and who would brinp
you something good if you would let
them come up here" rctorted Mr..
Stevenson"

Cafe Checks Lead Women
To Open Club to Men
Guest Memberships Devised So
CcntIer Sex Won't Have to
Paw Dinner Bills

Women directors of the new Wom-
ans National Club to be erected on an
uptown site between Forty-second
and Fifty-ninth streets, somewhere
west of Fifth Avenue, by Frank II.
Rogers, of the Frank H. Rogers Com
pany, put Mr.. Rogers right yesterday
at a meeting to consider the plans,
when they held out for a male member
ship clause, instead Of the exclusive
women's membership he had supposed
was desired.
Some of the women made it plain to
Mr.. Rogers that exclusiveness might be
all very we'll, but that if men were de-
barred from guest membership, women
who invited men there would have to
sign the dinner checks and later pay
them, because men as non-mem ers
would not be permitted to do so.
Mr. Rogers at once saw the light, and
the plan was amended to provide guest
memberships for men. Guest m em ers
will be accorded the privileges of the
dining rooms and parlors.
Detailed plans for the new club
house, which is to be twenty stories
high, with lecture rooms, auditorium,
private dining rooms, swimming pools
and all other modern accessories, were
submitted to the directors at yester-
days meeting and unanimously ap-
proved, with the single amendment

New Soviet Order Halts
American Deportations
List Must Be Submitted and
Permission Gained for I'm
tlesirablcs 10 Enter Russia

RIGA, Latvia. April 20 (By The As
sociated Press). The United States no
longer will be able to deport it's unde-
sirab.cs, or send its willing Russian
residents to Soviet Russia without
previous negotiations and the consent
Of the Soviet government in each in
dividual case, under the provisions of
II Soviet decision made public to-day
through note to the Latvian govern
mcnt.
The note says that, effective to-day,
the Soviet authorities will not honor
any trapsst vises granted by Latvian
representatives abroad for emigrants
or deportees bound for Russia, unless
they have Russian viges also. The
Latvan government has notified its
consul in New York to abide by this
ruling and similar instructions have
been sent to England.
The effect Of the new ruling, so far
as the United States is concerned, will
be the prevention Of further deporta-
tions from that country to Soviet Rus
sia unless list Of those dcported has
been submitted officially to the Soviet
government and the lattcr's permission
gained for the entry Of such deportees
into Russia.
Daring the last few months Ameri-
canizeI Russians among the emigrants
and deportees entering Russia have
caused much difficulty there and in
many instances are said to have been
leading factors in revolts.

Self-Covernment Begun
In Cirenaica and Libia
Italy Ends Quarrels Among
Chiefs in Its Mediterranean
and African Colonies

MILAN, April 2o.-Sclf government
for Cirenaica and Libia has become an
accomplished fact.
1t is about year since the Italian
government granted a constitution to
its African and Mediterranean colonies,
but means could not be found earlier
to put them fully into effect. The Lib
ian chiefs were so divided in their opin-
ions that fights kept recurring among
the different tribes The failure of Mer-
catelli, the Italian Governor of Tripoli,
to understand the needs or nature Of
the Arabians also kept the situation
in uncertainty for some time, but un-
derstandings now have been reached.
The opening of the Cirenaica Parlia-
ment at Bcngasi has been fixed for
April 2S with the new Prince Of Udine
as the kings representative. 1t is
intended to conduct the ceremony with
great solemnity, to impress the Arabi-
ans with the greatness of the event,
which opens new era for them-a
thing which never could have happened
under Turkish rule.
Elections are in full swing in Cire-
naica, some elected deputies with large
retinues already having reached Ben
gasi.
