Accommodation is the twin sis

constitute the handmaidens of

Accommodation is the faculty of
doing favors; courtesy is the art
of doing them graciously. They
are natural complements. One is
seldom found without the other.
Accommodation and courtesy
are distinguishing features of

them we impart a flavor to

they be business or social.

TWELVE POUCHES QF
CHICAGO MAIL TAKEN
Tive Youthful Bandits Hold Up Mai'
Truck At the Union Station
in the Windy City.
Chicago, Jan. 18. Working sc
juictly and quietly that more tha-
score of persons looking on wer
inaware of what had happened un
it the deed had been accomplished
y five youths held up a Unite
Hates mail truck at the Union sta
.ion here early today ahd escape
n an automobile with twelve sack
f mail. A cordon of police has beer
hrown out in an attempt to capture
them.
Ten of the sacks stolen contained
egistered mail but the value of theiT
ontents can only be conjectured un
'11 postal officials complete a care
"ul check.
Police profess to see in this latest
obbery a continuation of recent
rimes of a similar nature in the mid
lie west, the latest of which was thf
85.000 mail robbery at Mount Ver
mn. 111., last week. It is the belief
'f the police that this robbery an"
'ther recent ones are the work of one
organization, working under one
lead, and having "inside" tipsters tc
irovide it with information coneern
ng shipments of money by mail.
The mall taken in the union sta
ion robbery was to have left Chi
cago on fast mall train No. 50 for
Minneapolis. At Minneapolis thf
nail is redistributed and sent on to
Seattle. Portland, Spokane and other
itiee of the Pacific northwest.
Poetoffice authorities were utterly
inable to estimate the amount of thr
'oot except to point out that the con
ilgnment often runs in value as high
s 5100.000. It was reported that
'he pouches contained a shipment of
noney from the federal reserve bank
nit this could not be verified early
today.
Approaching the station in an au
omobile the bandits, none of whom
eemed to be more than twenty years
ld, drew their car alongside a gov
ernment mail truck which had just
backed up to a mail chute at the
-tation. William Carter, the driver,
ind Richard Sliney. a mail clerk,
vere aboard the truck.
Three of the bandits leaned out
t the car and approached Carter, Sli
ney and several mail handlers who
had emerged from the station to as
sist In unloading the mail. Without
irawing their guns they informed the
men that they were armed and or-
iered them to throw the sacks of mail
into the bandit car. The railroad
and poetoffice attaches complied.
The robbers then leaped into their
aachine and sped away. Sliney cried
out "stop that machine," but the
leader of the outlaws brandished his
revolver and before any of the on
lookers sensed what bad transpired,
the car was out of sight. Not even
the license number of the bandit car
was obtained.

Home Butchering Suggestions.
Hogs weighing from 200 to 250
pounds are preferable for farm butch
ering, says a Nebraska College of Ag
riculture extension bulletin called
"Pork and Beef." Animals this size
handle more easily and yield hams,
shoulders and sides of better weights
for curing. The chops and steaks
will also be of handier size for table
use. Barrows ordinarily yield a
sounder, smoother, firmer strip of
bacon. Seven hundred to onp thousand-pound
cattle are the most con
venient size. Heavier ones cut
roasts and steaks too large for the
average family use. Seventy to
eighty pound lambs cut four chops to
the pound and yield five or six pound
trimmed leg roasts. Heavier lambs
give "hotel" cuts too large for home
u?e. It is well to handle animals
with care before slaughtering. Stock
bleeds more thoroughly and dresses
more easily after a 24-hour fast.
Run and wrestling an animal causes
a temporary fever, and is killed in
this condition the meat Is apt to be
bloody and slimy. Such meat looks
bad, tastes bad and spoils easily.
A good water system should be
the first step toward making the home
modern. Some have electric lights
lefore they have ranning water, be
cause commercial concerns are in the
3eld selling lighting systems. How
ever, a water system can be Installed
for less money, and it is of greater
service. A good many install the
two at the same time, using an elec
.ric motor to maintain water pres
sure. Few farm homes are now built
that are not modern. Those think
ing of building or remodeling can ch
ain valuable information regarding
modern equipment from the College
f Agriculture at Lincoln or the Cass
3ounty Farm Bureau.

The Farmers Union put on a corn

xpect the enactment of such legisla

ause of lack of time. They added,

lntil a national marketing commis
lon of men familiar with the subject

RECEIVES PROMOTION
The many friends of Mr., and Mrs.
Lester Barkus, former residents of
this city will be pleased to learn of
the recent promotion that was given
Mr. Barkus by the Burlington, by
whom he has been employed for a
number of years. The Barkus fam
ily have been residing at Greybull,
Wyoming, where Mr. Barkus has been
stockman for the store department
there and he has just been trans
ferred to Gillette, Wyoming, to the
position of storekeeper. The new po
sition is an advancement both finan
cially and in rank and comes as a
well deserved recognition of the
faithful work that this young man
has given the railroad company. The
change to .Gillette is very pleasing to
the Barkus family as it places them
among old friends as Mrs. S. S. Good
ing and daughter, Miss Stella, reside
on the Gooding homestead just a few
miles from Gillette and Edward Rey
nolds, brother of Mrs. Barkus, is also
located there, so that the new home
will have some of the familiar faces
from the old Nebraska residence.
