A tank works for you night and day, week after week, adding
cents to your dollars. Little by little the amounts grow till each
addition is a respectable sum.
Where dees the gain come from? Not from your pocket. Nor

is given an opportunity to work and to produce.
Thus a bank builds your wealth. Start with a small deposit
if you will. Add to it when you can regularly if you can do so.

HAVING A STILL NOT A
VIOLATION OF THE LAW
Lincoln, Nov. 13. Possession of a
still is not violation of the state pro
hibition law, according to supreme
court opinion handed down today.
The court held thr. t unless proof
is shown that a still lias been used
or is being used for the illegal manu
facture of liquor a conviction will
not hold.
A still may be user for distilling
water or for some other lawful pur
pose, the supreme judges held.
The derision was made in the case
of Goorge and Homer Blevins, broth
ers, from Gosper county, who appeal
ed a conviction on a charge of pos
session of a still and illegal manu
facture of liquor,
i The Blevins conviction was upheld
because mash was found as well as
the still when their home was raided.
i Bear in mind that the annual
rummage sale of the Presbyterian
ladies will be held on November 16,
t 17 and IS in the rooms formerly oc-
' cupied by Mrs. Emma Pease, in the
Wagner hotel building.

'and digestion, sleep soundly and en

Much valuable feed may be secur
ed this fall and winter from pastur
ing wheat without material injury
to the wheat if judiciously done. The
value will of course depend on many
things, such as the growth of the
wheat and the scarcity of other feed.
For the farmer who has plenty of
other pasture there is little to induce
him to pasture his wheat and prob
ably as a rule he had better not. But
the man who is short of feed, espe
cially if he has dairy cattle, can save
considerable expense and the effect
on the wheat will scarcely be noticed.
The general opinion of farmers and
the results of experiments seem to
agree rather closely in showing that
wheat is rarely benefited by pastur
ing. Sometimes on rich bottom lands
where wheat is not often grown, pas
turing will prevent an excessive
growth of straw and reduce to some
extent the danger of lodging. Late
spring pasturing, however, will de
lay the crop, cause it to ripen late
and almost invariably reduce the
yi'ld. Pasturing too closely or before
the plants get started and pastur
ing when the ground is wet will us
ually cause more injury than will be
offset by the value of the pasture.
Care must also he exercise in turn
ing cattle onto wheat pastur" for the
first time on account of danger of
bloating.
Soft wheat as a rule furnishes bet
ter pasture than hard wheat because
of its rank and more rapid growth.
The difference, however, is not suffi
cient to justify growing soft wheat
v.-here hard wheat is considered a
better variety.
Experiments at the Kansas sta
tion from lss to 1.P6 give valuable
indications of what may be expected
from pasturing, so far as the effect
on the wheat is concerned. In these
experiments, stock was not allowed
on the fields until the wheat was well
started .and never when the ground
was wet. Neither were they pastured
close enough to cause any apparent
injury. The average yields for five
year? were as follows:
Tall pastured. 26.3 bushels per
acre: spring pastured. 27. S bushels
X-er acre; not pastured, 29.6 bushels
per ac re.
A similar experiment at the Okla
homa station for five years gave the
following results:
Heavily pastured. S.4 bushels per
acre: Pehtly pastured to March 1.
11.6 bushels per acre; not pastured,
12.7 bushels per acre.
Cattle men value wheat pasture at
from 2o cents to S2.00 per acre, de
pending on the wheat and the price
of fee-ds. Most cattle men and wheat
growers in the drier portions of the
wheat belt of the Southwest consider
any wheat pasture, secured in the
fall, as that much clear gain. They
(laim that judicious pasturing does
not injure the wheat and if they get
some pasture they are certain of that
much which may be all they will get
out of the crop.

Made Many Here Smile
A fe.v days since a stranger came
this way and seeking out the policy
holders of the Mutual Insurance Co.,
who bad suffered a loss on July in
by tin severe hail storm, handed
theti ei:h a eh -ck for the entire
amount of their loss as per the set
tlement made immediately after the
storm. In many instances it paid bet
ter than to have gone ahead and
worked the crops but not in all.
Tho? who were not fortunate in
having their crops covered by insur
ance are the great losers.

Traveling men who came to Ne
braska City yesterday were surpris- ,
d. they said, to discover that Xe- :
hraska City people wore not dying in
iiocks IriKii diptm-ria.
The story had been well circulated
in Plattsmouth. :hey averred, that
the Otoe county capital was entirely
quarantined on acount of the epi
demic of diptheria. One salesman
went so far as to telephone th
Grand Hotel to find out. ;
"It's nothing but another litth
joke on Nebraska City by our lovinsr
lriends at Plattsmouth." said a mer
chant. It was at Plattsmouth that
first appeared the placard" warring
people to stay away because police
arrested all strangrers on sight.
There is no more diptheria in Ne
braska City than there is in Platts
mouth. There is no danger and there
has been none. Plattsmouth evident
ly must have her little fun. Ne
braska City Press.
The report as to Nebraska City be
ing quarantined must have originat
ed in the fertile minds of the travel
ing men as there has been nothing
of the kind circulated in Platts-I
mouth, or probably from the parties
who were so active in placarding the
warning to motorists to stay away j
from the Otoe county city in the
towns of this vicinity.
We deny the allegation of any
knocks on our pleasant little neigh-'
boring city and could imagine noth
ing: more nerve-racking than to have
to be quarantined there for any
length of time. I
