The Bank of ftfturdock
The wjse man, and the successful man, invariably is
very careful in the selection of his bank and his doctor.
He knows that his life may depend on the judgment and
ability of his doctor. He fully realizes that the life and
success of his business, be it professional, merchandising
or farming, may depend on his banker.
There is no question but that we shall pass through
an adjustment period, bordering on. a panic, within the
next few years, present conditions foreshow this, and the
man who has not already tied up with an established, re
liable bank a bank whose officers have successfully with
stood times of stress, may shortly regret his lack of judg
ment. Select a bank that is able to take care of you in
times of plenty, as well as in times of famine, and you can
then rest easy. Remember the solid, dependable things
of life are not based on promises, but on deeds. Our past
record is what counts.
We have the. above necessary qualities to offer our
customers, besides personal services whenever our opinion
is desired on business or personal matters of our friends.
All deposits in this bank is guaranteed by the depos
itors guaranty fund of the State of Nebraska.
Fanners Needing Help Now.
The farmers are all pretty busy
at this time gathering their corn
crop and are findinc the quality
the best "while the yield is more than
expected earlier in the season. There
is a scarcity of men to pick corn
and many more could be used in this
community.

The members of the high school of
Murdock and a number of their
friends, motored to Hope Hill school
house, where they enjoyed a wiennie
roast in the moonlight last Wednes
day evening and had a very enjoy
able time. They were taken in three
rars. being dro,ve by Dan Bornemeier,
Victor Thimgan and Albert Theile.

Fntertained Frcshmans
The sophmore class of the V rdock
school last Friday entertained the
freshman class at the high school
teresting program was given as well
as the business transacted.
The program consisted of a num
ber of dialogues illustrating the need
of missionary work, together with
special music furnished by the quar
tette of the Louisville church, the
Callihan chorus and a special male
chorus composed of twenty selected
voices from the churches of Louis
ville, Callihan, Murdock and Elm
wood; also a duet which was highly
appreciated. The society was fortu
nate in the securing of $265.00 for
the furtherance of its program of
missionary work.
Has a Very Tidy Shop
Max Dusterhoff. who carries a
stock of supplies and materials for
sale in connection with his business,
has made some alterations in the
.tore since the removal of Fred
Oehme with his shoe repair shop from
the front part of .the building to a
room in the rear.
Mr. Dusterhoff has built shelving
business in Murdock for some fif
teen years In connection with Mr.
Tool under the firm name oJMartin
and Tool. They disposed of their
business some seven years ago lo the
Murdock Mercantile company, Mr. J.
E. McIIugh taking charge, while Mr.
Tool entered the banking business.
Mr. Martin retired, moving to
Lincoln, where they have since been
making their home in ease.

Grandma Gillespie Happy
One of the hanniest neonle to be
! found i" Murdock just now is Mrs.
V. O. Gillespie. The reason of her
unusual happiness is disclosed in the
announcement of the arrival of a
fine little son at the home of Dr.
and Mrs. Rlattspeiler. of Tobias.
The mother wps formerly Miss
Cora Tsenhnt. adopted daughter of

the excellent work Mr. Dusterhoff

nainting his own building, which he
heeps in neat condition.

Are Killing Ducks
Harry Gillespie. Louis and I. G.
Hornbeck and H. W. Tool are spend
ing some time at Pawnee lodge on
the Platte river bottom, where they
have been enjoying some excellent
shooting, having winged a number
of ducks who in their pilgrimage
from the frozen north to the balmy
breezes of the southland made the
Platte their temporary abiding place.
The sportsmen of Murdock have very
correctly timed the passing of these
birds and have greeted them with a
very warm reception. Anyhow the
members of the party have been hav
ing an excellent time.
