Just as a man is judged in a

he keeps, so is he judged in a
business way by the banking con

. A checking or savings account
with a good reliable institution
like this one reflects good busi

So choose wisely and soon.

Community Gatherirg a Success
The first effort of this community
gathering was more of a success than
the promoters expected. In the
neighborhood of 400 were present on
the church lawn and in the automo
biles close by the seating capacity
was not sufficient, so the people were
compelled to sit in their cars. Next
Saturday evening more seats will be
arranged and more comfortable chairs
will be gotten for the older people.
The object of these meetings is to
promote community interests and to
have a meeting place where all sub
jects can be discussed. We hope
that all-people will understand this
and not criticise the movement
Come with an open mind and after
the meeting make your own discus
sion.

urday evening with a flute solo .by
Miss Ogla Minford, followed with a

C. H. Sorenson of Lincoln will
make the address of the evening and
give his views on community benefits
We wish to begin our programs by
8:30, and if we can secure comfort
able seating we hope the people will
get out of the cars as much as they
can so that we may have an oppor
tunity to meet and visit with them.
The community spirit is one wnicn
we wish to foster and cultivate. The
generous 'turnout of last week was
very encouraging and we are hoping
to have this feeling stronger and
trust we will be able to have very
interesting meetings in the future as
in the past. We will have discussed,
the new primary law, and the woman
in politics.

RAILROADS UNITE
IN RATE REQUEST
Step Taken in Anticipation of Boost
a.t Hands of Interstate Commerce
Commission in Near Future.
All of the Nebraska railroads halt
ed in a supplemental petition filed
with the state railway commission
Saturday morning by Byron Clark,
legal representative of the Burling
ton, asking for an increase in freight!
and passenger rates within the state
to become effective September 1,
1920. '
.This section was taken in antici
pation of an order shortly to come
from the interstate commerce com
mission authorising an increase in
all rates and charges on shipments
between states, and the railroads
want the rates for shipments within
the state raised correspondingly.
The petition sets out that the em
ployes of all the railroads of the
country have made application for an
increase in wages, and this demand
is to be passed upon by the labor
board within a few days. If an in
crease is allowed in wages and also
one in rates by the interstate com
merce commission it will follow that
rates in Nebraska must also' be in
creased. While ! the interstate commerce
commission still has under consider
ation the application for interstate
rate increases, it is anticipated that
favorable action will be taken there
on. The companies say that the rec
ord before the interstate commerce
commission show that the railroads
are earning a net income in western
classification territory that gives a
rate o freturn that will not meet the
interest charges, and this without
regard to any possible wage increase
If the companies are to remain sol
vent, they say, there must be an in
crease in both intrastate and inter
state rates by September 1st, next.
The companies ask that the com
mission institute an appropriate in
quiry for the purpose of bringing the
state rates in harmony with the in
terstate commerce commission rear?
justment, and as far as consistcn
with the authority of the commission
the matter be heard on' a common
record of both this commission and
the the interstate commerce commis
sion. In order tq make the readjust
ment by September 1st, the commis
sion is asked to amend or suspend
the rules governing the publication
of tariffs.
The petition is signed by attorneys
for the Burlington, the Union Pacific
the St. Joseph & Grand Island, the
Northwesterh, the Chicago, St. Paul
Minneapolis & Omaha, the Rock Is
land and the Missouri Pacific.
GERMANS REJOICE AT
OPENING TRADE ROUTES
Hamburg, July IS. As further
particulars come to light regarding
the agreement between the Hani
burg-American Steamer company and
the American Ship and Commerce
corporation, by which the former
German trade routes are to be opened
to American shipping, the belief is
deepening in shipping and financial
circles here that it constitutes one
of the most momentous events for
Germany since the war.
Through it the Germans see the
means .of regaining touch with the
outside world and an opportunity for
Hamburg to re-establish a semblance,
at 'least, of its formers position as a
great port.
But apart from the commercial
benefits expected, the Germans at
tach much political significance to
the agreement. This was emphasized
today by Herr Cuno, general manag
er of the Hamburg-American line,
who, in an interview with the Asso
elated Press declared:
"I call your especial attention to
the fact that the agreement must
not only be considered from a busi
ness viewpoint, but must be regarded
as a trial at re-establishing good re
lations between the two countries.'
