Glendale club will not find it a difficult matter to make Christmas gifts this year, that are very pretty yet unexpensive, also add many attractive pieces to their own collection of linens. At a meeting held at the home of Mrs. II. H. Staben 3 1-2 miles southwest of Louisville the first of the week, the most of the afternoon was taken up teaching the ladies the pretty Swedish weaving, and how to combine linen and bias binding into atractive pieces of art work, both of which are so much in popularity with fancy work artists right now The rest of the time was devoted to discussing the appropriateness of table linens, also the features to con sider when buying table linens. There were four visitors at the meeting who seem to be as eager to learn the new ideas as the club mem bers. Four other people have been shown how to do the work outside the meeting by the leaders. The meeting was closed with a de licious luncheon declaring they had spent a most beneficial afternoon and expressed their appreciation of Mrs. Staben's wonderful hospitality which she de serves much credit for.

C. Thornton, who for the past three years has served as instructor and head of the commercial depart ment of the Plattsmouth high school, will be the new court reporter for the second judicial district, succeeding Leslie L. Turpin. who resigned on Wednesday to accept the appointment to a similar position in Douglas county with Judge James Fitzgerald. Mr. Thornton is well qualified for the new position as he has had a number of ears teaching work in shorthand and typewriting and has been most successful in his school work. The appointment will meet with very general satisfaction here where Mr. Thornton has made a large number of friends and that he is to continue to make this city his home will be a very great pleasure to all of the friends. Mr. Thornton has two degrees from the University of Nebraska, both in science and business administration and has had seven years of active work in teaching in shorthand and typewriting. He comes from Neligh where his family is numbered among the most prominent residents, his father and one brother being en gaged in the practice of law at that place. The new reporter will take up hid work as soon as possible in the new position, but will remain in the schools until the board of education can secure a successor who will b able to take over the commercial work, as it is expected that Carl Cunningham, one of the teachers in the department will no doubt be named as the head of the department and an additional teacher be secured to fill the vacancy occasioned by the resignation of Mr. Thornton. PROTECT GAME BIRDS E. T. Comer went to considerable trouble in getting a number of pheas ants from the frtate and putting them in various parts around Elmwood. He reports that some of these birds have been bagged by hunters coming from a long ways oft" and he is at work now trying to protect them. It was his hope as well as others inter ested that these birds be allowed to multiply unti lthere would be suffi cient number here to guarantee hunt ing of the birds in proper season. We do not blame him for getting a little "wrathy" when he learned that some of these birds were being shot by hunters from away. We would not be surprise to learn any time if parties are found doing this thing around here, that they come under the law for there just "desserts." Elmwood Leader-Echo. County Cannot Pay Bank Any Service Fee Attorney General Sorensen Holds No Law to Allow Counties to Pay Fees to Banks. AGED LADY PASSES AWAY ANY DAY! From Saturdays Dally The Philathea class of the Metho dist church held a most pleasant meeting on Thursday afternoon at the home of Mrs. J. A. Capwell and who was assisted as hostess by Mrs. R. R. Otredosky and Miss Jessie M. Robertson. The singing of the afternoon was led by Mrs. E. G. Shellenbarger while the devotions were In charge of Mrs. Otto Keck who gave the 100th psalm as the lesson of the day. The roll call was responded to by the reading scripture verses and was most interesting to all of the mem bers. Mrs. Alice M. Van Avery passed away Monday evening, November 18, 1929, at 10:30 p. m., at the hospital at Milford, ebr., at the age of 76 years and three days. Mrs. Van Avery had been an invalid for four years and prior to her removal to Milford several weeks ago, she had been cared for at the home of her son. Will Van Avery, In Weeping Water. The past week she had suf fered a great deal, but since last Thursday, her daughter, Mrs. John Creamer of Ogallala, had been with her constantly and her children visit ed her often. Her husband, Charles Van Avery, passed away 27 years ago. Funeral services were conducted at the Methodist church in Wabash Attorney General Sorensen has given an opinion to County Attorney W. P. Nolan of Sarpy county, stating that he, knows of no statute which authorizes the county commission ers to pay a bank a service charge of 1 per cent, or any pther amount, on deposits on county funds in the bank. The opinion says: "If the banks in the county will not accept deposits of county funds and pay the statutory 2 per cent In tel est thereon, I am of the opinion that the county board may authorize the deposit of such funds in banks outside the county which comply with the statutory requirements regarding the payment of interest and giving of security to protect such deposits." In reply an inquiry from County Attorney Charles L. Whitney of Ham ilton county, the attorney general writes: "I will say that I am of the opin ion that a bank which puts up gov ernment bonds as security for county deposits, is required to put up 20 per cent more security than the amount of money which it is entitled to receive on deposit from the coun ty." Answering E. L. Coleman of Pen der, Attorney General Sorensen states that in the event three banks file claims for refund of taxes which they paid for the year 1927 to the amount of the difference between the intang ible tax rate on banks and the statu tory assessment against banks, and that none of these banks having paid these taxes under protest or made any claim within thirty days for the. refunding of the taxes, "under these circumstances the banks are not en titled to recover and you would be liable under bond if you refund it." "I do not know of any statute which makes it illegal for a school board, city council or board of coun ty commissioners to take out mutual insurance," says Attorney General Sorensen in an opinion given by J. W. Johnson, Sidney, Neb. "By the way the liability of a member of a mutual Insurance company is limited to the premium stated in the policy, (sec. 7815, Compiled Statutes of Ne braska for 1922.)" "The board of supervisors shall sit with open doors, and all persons may attend their meetings," quotes Attorney General Sorensen in answer to a question from Frank J. Hau mont, secretary of the Custer county tax league, Broken Bow. There is no similar provisions in the statutes as to counties under the commissioner system, says the attorney general, "there is no law to prevent the mem bers of the county board from meet ing secretly before their formal meet ing begins as a county board." "In state vs. Skirving. 19, Neb. 497,27 N. W. 723, our supreme court held that removal of a commissioner from his district, tho he remains in the county, vacates his office," writes Attorney General Sorensen to C. J. Hultman, county supervisor of Nance county. "It is therefore our opinion that a county supervisor vacates his office when he takes up his residence in the county seat outside his town ship or district." Shooting on Sunday is unlawful and the law makes no exception in favor of trap shooting writes tne attorney general to Rev. J. I. Elrod of South Sioux City. Regarding the operation of a ditching machine on the highway on Sunday the attorney general says it might be the contrac tor operating the machine could show that road work is seasonal and had to be done and hence a work of necessity allowable on Sunday.
