MONDAY, DEC. 24, 1928. PXATTSMOTJTH semt - WEEKLY J0T7BTTAE PAGE FQUH r? ;. r&l39 j&flH nl MB WEE TIMES have changed since this bank cele- brated its first Christmas more than a decade ago. The loud-speaker has taken the place of the itinerant street band; multi colored electric lights have supplanted the Christmas candle; the automobile horn has displaced the sleigh-bell; old Santa himself so 'tis said has substituted the airplane for the reindeer. :o:- And yet, in spite of the outward changes that have occurred, the spirit of Christmas remains the same, t is still, just as it has always been, the day when more than at any other time we; look beyond ourselves. It is the day on which we pause in the busy whirl of life, to realize our dependence upon others and to acvknowledge openly and frankly the obligations we owe our friends. -:o: It is only natural for this reason, that our thoughts should go out at this season to those who have helped so materially in our growth and prosperity. To you, therefore, we extend our sincere appreciation for past favors and the hope of the Directors, Offi cers and Employes of this bank that Christ mas will be for you a day of whole-souled joy and that the New Year sweeping toward us will bring you all that your heart de sires.

THE "FLU" When your back is broke and your eyes are blurred. And your shin bones knock and your tongue is furred. And your tonsils squeak and your hair gets dry. And you're dongone sure you're go ing to die, And you're skeered you won't and afraid you will. Just drag to bed and have your chill. And pray the Lord to see you thru For you've got the flu, you've got the flu. When your toes curl up and your belt goes flat. And you're twice as mean as a Thomas cat. And life is a long and dismal curse. And your food all tastes like a hard boiled hearse. When your lattice aches and your heads a-buzz, And nothing is as it ever was, Here are my sad regrets to you You've got the flu, you've got the flu. What is it like, this' Spanish flu? Ask me brother, for I've been through. It's misery, woe and black despair; It pull3 your teeth and curls your hair; It thins your blood and bares your bones, And fills your craw with moans and groans. And sometimes, maybe, you get well; Some call it flu. I call it hell Stebbins May Ask Bonds of Banks Supreme Court Has Not Held Old Depository Law Repealed by Guaranty Law. State Treasurer Stebbins is report ed by out-state bankers to have an swered inquiries by stating that he may require all state banks receir ing state deposits during the coming biennium to furnish bonds. When asked concerning his intended course Treasurer Stebbins said Thursday he did not care to make a statement. "I will act when the time comes," he said. "The legislature will meet in only a few days and it will no doubt take up this matter with the bank guaranty matter. I will do whatever I think will best protect the state." State banks, according to the guaranty fund act, are not expected to -furnish bonds for keeping ol public funds. The depository law re quires national banks to give bonds, either personal, or guaranty bonds, or a deposit of securities, for publie funds. County Attorney W. L. Dowling of Madison county recently advised hl county board to require state banks to give bonds for county funds, on the ground that he believes the de positors' guaranty fund offers "no further protection." His opinion has been widely published and comment ed upon. The state treasurer is now report , ed to be of the opinion that he should ! do the same in respect to state funds. It is pointed out that state banks have not been required to give bonds for public deposits, the legislature taking the view that the depository guaranty law under which state banks must operate is sufficient sure ty for private as well as public de posits. When the right of a public offi cial to require bonds for public de posits in state banks is raised the of- . ficial often answers by saying he does j not have to deposit public funds in ' ! any bank unless he cares to do so. In the Custer county case decided by the Nebraska supreme court in 1924 the court Indicated that it had not held that the guaranty fund does not repeal other and older sections of the statute kflnown as the de pository law. It held in that case that the guaranty fund is liable for a county deposit even tho the treas urer deposited more than 50 per cent of the bank's capital stock, the deposit being protected in its en tirety. The court said the legislature no doubt believed that ample pro- i tection and security would be fur- ; nlshed for any public funds deposit- ' ed in state banks. i "It might, with good reason," said the report, "be urged that the legis lature, in enacting section 8027, in tended to repeal the provisions of the depository law, in so far as it affected state banks, and to thereby remove any limitation, as to the amount of public funds that a county treasurer could deposit in such banks. However, we do not find it necessary to so hold, to sustain our present view." State Treasurer Stebbins filed his official bond of 11,000,000 Thursday with Secretary of State Marsh. It bears the approval of Governor Mc- Mullen and Attorney General Spill man. It was written by Allan A. Tukey of Omaha, representing the Metropolitan Casualty Insurance com any of New York and is reinsured in seven insurance companies as fol lows: Metropolitan Casualty 200,000 Globe Indemnity 150.000 Massachusetts Bonding 150,000 Standard Accident 150,000 American Surety 75,000 Fidelity & Deposit 200,000 Detroit Fid. & Surety 100.000 Federal Surety 50,000 Total $1,000,000 Mr. Tukey filed a claim for $5,000 with State Auditor Johnson for the premium on the bond for a period of two years. The legislature has made provision for payment of the premium out of state bonds. EMMANUEL EVANGEL CHURCH OF MURDOCH 2Vfc mi. east, 2 mi north Wanted To Buy Dead Animals.

On the grounds of lack of jurisdiction the federal trade commission today dis missed its five years old case charg ing the Radio Corporation of Amer ica and seven leading electric com- panies with a monopoly in the radio business. At hearings in Washington and other cities, the companies' counsel have maintained that the case was outside the commission's jurisdiction on the ground that the combination was voluntary and also because such a combination, if a violation of law, would come under the Sherman act. which is enforced by the department of justice. Counsel argued further that the supreme court's decision in the East man Kodak case last year denied the commission the right to make any order requiring distribution of the physical property o! the ccpai;!e? involved.
