Loan Association
Has Good Business
Local Organization, Though
Young, Gives Promise
of Useful Life

The Colville Valley Savings and
Loan Association is a going con-
cern, according to the reports made
by the secretary.
This association, organized last
spring for the purpose of encourag-
ing home building, has been making
loans regularly, and is in a posi-
tion to make more loans, and to
accept more stockholders. Loans on
real estate are repaid to the asso-
citation in monthly installments that
pay both principal and interest, and
loans can be made for 8, or 8
years time. Loans are made on the
basis of 6et interest.
According to the loan schedules,
the monthly payments required to
pay a loan of $1,000 in 3 years
would be $3.50, 5 years $21.70, s
years $15.45. Thus one can own
home in Colville by paying interest
which amounts to rent and the
taxes anu INSURANCE.
After one year the loan can be re-
paid in full by paying three months
interest in advance. On the long
time plan, each months payment in
cludes months interest and Il
portion of the principal.
Officers are: DR.. o. F. Vinson,
president; l.. NJ Mcfarland, vice
president; H. r. Williams, secre-
tary-treasurer The other directors
are Louis G. Keller, c. l.. Baker,
Quinn W. McCord, H. T. Wentz,
Louis Strauss, c. c. Casey.
The particular province of the
savings and loan association is to
issue loans on residence property
on long time contracts, something
which banks are not in a position
to do. Colville busines men saw the
need last spring Of an association
which could offer long time money
to home builders, and the organiza-
tion was perfected with Colville
money and officers exclusively. The
successful work already done by the
association gives promise that this
organization will become one of the
essential factors in the growth of the
city.

High Taxes to Be Enjoyed
Another Year in This State

county officers and assistants, pays
all the court expenses, costs of
elections and cares for the county
indigents.
The above is the tax in an
average district 1t varies in the
different school districts, the lowest
in the county being AZ mills and the
highest being the Colville district
with a levy of s21b mills, the diff
ference always in the district its
self. The state and county tax for
the year is always the same in all
the districts.

Taxes will again be high in Wash
ington and Stevens county as a
result of the demands of state,
county and school districts. State
demands, are close to those of last
year, and county levies are practi-
cally the same. Some towns, in
cluding Colville, have reduced their
levies tlifle, but the general high
levies of a year ago are repeated
this fall, for the next years pay
ment
Each October the county COM
missioners meet to make the tax
levies.
BY cutting into the safeguards of
business and health in Stevens coun-
ty, the commissioners have been able
to present tax levy for 1921
which reduces taxes from 80 mills
to 3l12 mills for county and state
purposes.
The budget for the county agricul-
turist has been cut from $4,000 to
$1,000. The office of county nurse
has been eliminated. The county
horticulturist is cut from $4,000 to
$1,000. A total of $7,257 has been
cut from the estimate as printed in
September.
BY cutting down the agricultural
agents work, every $50 taxpayer
will save about 5 cents. By doing
. away with the county nurse, every
$50 taxpayer will save about 10
cents. E.
Colville's tax for next year will
be 81 mills, as compared with 82h2
: for this year. The city tax is 2312
mills, state and county 81 p, schools
26. Kettle Falls tax will be 7412
mills, compared with 73 this year.
Northport will be 58R. compared
with ga this year. Marcus will be
8112, compared with 78 this year.
The state tax levy will be 16.1493
mills, and county 15.3507, a total of
311a mills; road Dist. 1, 5 mills;
Dist. 2, mills; Dist 3, S mills.
The state fine against Stevens
.eoalfty taxpayers will be very heavy
again for next year, totaling 1884,
4O7. In former years the state tax
was about half this amount. Fol
lowing the death of Governor Lis
ter and a change in state admins
tration the state tax has doubled,
to, the extent that Stevens county
tax payers now pay about three
times as much to the state as II
costs for all the administration OF
county government under the coun-
ty current expense.
The commissioners were in receipt
of several petitions asking for cuts
in taxes, some asking that the agri-
culturist, horticulturist and nurse be
discontinued, others asking that they
be continued. Inasmuch as high
taxes are not within the power oi
the commissioners to stop, they cut
right and left in an endeavor to
appease taxpayers, but were not able
to save but a little, the amount to
each taxpayer being negligible. The
heavy state tax is what hurts, and
the district school taxes make CON
siderable addition to taxes.

Have you lost your youth, vigor and

cred a new vitalizer superior even to the
much discussed goat gland and mon
key gland treatment.
The principal ingredient is an extract
from the bark of en- African tree. 1t is
said to be the most amazing invigorator
ever discovered. Combined with 1t are
other tonic and vitalizing elements of
proved merit. In most cases, the COM

however, and they did have jolly time

social life of the capitol.
Mrs. Coolidge, who is ex-officio
president of the ladies' Of the senate, as
always, was assisted in her role as host

betically from the roster of the club.
This time the hostesses were Mrs.

the organization; Mrs. John w. Har-
reid, Mrs William J. Harris, Mrs Pat
Harrison, Mrs. Wesley L. Jones, Mrs.
Frank B. Kellogg, Mrs. John B. Ken

Last spring the "Hi-Life,' Great

istics to show the amount of money
spent by high school students during
the nine month school term for thea
tiers, soft drinks, chewing gum, candy
and other luxuries which Appropriated
$4,000. There were then about $50
students enrolled, which made the aver
age amount spent by each student about
S57 for the same period. At the same
rate, and with the present enrollm ent
LOT 1925 as basis, the amount would
total S64,
The results last spring was said to
be an underestimate Of the actual
amount expended by students OF the
school because tobacco and dances and
other amusements weer not included in
the list. 1t may be said that these ar
ticles would approximate $4,000, which
would bring the total to $72,125.

detest and fear as / do the effects of a
poison gas, but it is in the thing. and
must not be shirked. The only rational
course to face squarely whatever the
consequences may be Of agreeing that
chemical industries shall henceforth be
permanently safeguarded by embargo.
Whatever the domestic dangers in such
a policy it is our business to foresee
them and provide against them exactly
as good chemist provides safeguards

Washington, Dec. 17.-Just think,
only a week from Christmas! Between
parties people are busily engaged these
days, shopping and attending bazaars.
Every church and charitable effort i'm
aginable gives some sort of sale or
bazaar right now, selling possible
Christmas gifts in order to raise funds.
But how the society woman, who
manages most OF such affairs, finds
time for them, don't know, for they
are all caught in mad whirl Of en-
pertaining.
/ don't think / ever saw so many
parties going on in Washington as at
the present time. 1t seems as though
society has sort of lost it's head. No
one dimes at home unless 1t is to give
party.
Some man said to me the other day:
What has become Of the old fashioned
girl who dimes at homer"
But it isn't limited to the girls. The
men are as busy as the women and are
being entertained just as much and just
as often as they entertain themselves.
Society Is At It's Height
Washington society is now at the
height Of a record breaking season and
the social calendars are just as jammed
with functions Of every size and de-
scription. All are gay right now. The
delegates to the arms conference are
still being feted. The diplomats and
officials are in the midst of their offic-
ial entertaining The debutantes are
busy every minute of the day, and the
residential set are entertaining con-
stantly.

for the next few weeks. This week the
younger brothers and sisters will come
home from school for the Christmas
holidays and then parties for them will
commence and continue until after the

was the dinner which President and
Mrs. Harding gave Thursday evening in
compliment to the members of the cab
met and their wives, the first of the
regular White House functions of the
season.
From now until Lent, President ard
Mrs. Harding will entertain at similar

while searching for dyes, for medicines.
the useful articles with which chem
istry blesses the world
These poisons are by-products Of
peaceful science. They are bound to
be found out, as laboratory research
goes on. You cannot develop new med
icines as chemistry is all the time aim
ing to do, you cannot increase the
, number and value of dyes, or perfumes,
of the solutions required in photog-
raphy, without on your way running
the risk Of discovering something more
terrible. than ever yet has been found.
There is no necessity of manufactur-
ing any one of these deadly things In
peace times in order to have the ad-
necessary is a staff of trained chem
lists, the formalae, the skill to convert
quickly the factory so as to produce
in quantities. and Of course, adequate
defenses developed, for it must be re-
membered that if you have found out
a deadly gas the chemists of other ma
tions may also have found it and pre-
pared themselves to use it.
In all of this there is something
very important for those who look
upon permanent world peace as pos
s1ble. 1t is one of those slow reallZa-
tons coming On US out of the exper-
fence of the great war. Your sub
marine, your warship, your great guns
have no peaceful use, they are calcu-
lated only to kill, they require an enor-
nous investment which is a dead loss
to a country in times Of peace. More
over, their very existence fosters the
war spirit. The air fleet and chemical
weapons serve the ends of peace, they
aid and bless men, and, almost over
night, if necessary, can be converted
to war purposes. And here is an
other and significant fact Nobody can
make money out of poisonous gases.
Your high explosives can be made
profitable. All that you can do with
mustard gas or any of its colleagues
when peace comes, is to dump them
into the sea. Powder, shot and shell
can be salvaged-there is money in
them-and where money is there is
always temptation
