THE DAVIS' HAVE IT The coming city election at Weep ing Water presents a rather unusual situation in regard to the ticket named by the Business Temperance party at their recent city caucus. The caucus selected Troy L. Da vis as their nominee for the office of mayor, a position that he had fill ed very ably in the past, Theo R. Davis as the nominee for councilman in the first ward and W. W. Davis as the candidate in the second ward of the city. This makes the ticket almost un animous for the Davis family at the coming city election in our neighbor ing city. Disarmament AT THE present time much Is heard about disarmament. To the world in general the word means the act of disarming, as by reducing the military or naval force of nations. As the years pass, it is being learned that this taking away or lessening of a material sense of power is not in itself capable of bringing peace. Yet is not peace what the people of the whole world are seeking? Tho realization of har mony can never be gained while the thoughts of men are filled with envy, hatred, and suspicion. If fear could be eliminated from the thoughts of men, then the host of evil beliefs, expressed in malice, jealousy, and the like, would disappear. Suppose the right way of thinking, with the consequent blotting out of thoughts of hate, should spread until for the whole human family all sense of hatred had been destroyed. What a change would have come over the world! Indeed, to disarm men of the evil mode of thinking would bring about the peaceful attitude of nations towards one another which people so much desire. As nations are aggregations of people, each individual in the nations must disarm his own thought of fear and hatred. This true disarmament is not material, but spiritual. If we really desire to have no need for arms, we must besln with ourselves and control our own thoughts. Those who have learned throush the teachings of Christian Science that man is the reflection of divine Love, God, the creator of all that is real, must live consistently with this teaching. They must refuse to think or express thoughts which ' include hatred. What will be the result?. The love expressed in their thinking will ho felt by all with whom they asso ciate. For those who have the correct understanding of Truth, now, not to morrow or next week, is the time for them to begin by right thinking to Homeless Died 'ass BASKETBALL FIGURES The Plattsmouth Storz basketball team which closed its playing some two weeks ago has had a very suc cessful season in which they scored G90 points to 415 for their opponents. In the season Rummel and Knofii cek played the largest number of games, each playing seventeen, with Forbes participating in sixteen, with Donat and Krejci each participating in fourteen of the team's battles. Arn, who was taken ill at the opening of the season was in but six games.

I am only one standing against the widespread belief in the power of evil." Studying the life-example of Christ Jesus, we find that he was as one against the world. Were his right knowing, right thinking, and right acting in vin? Are we truly his followers when we are not endeavoring to fulfill his mis sion? Was not this mission to bring to light peace, good will, universal love? The three years of his glorious healing ministry were rilled by him in showing the world, for all time, how to disarm itself of all error. As in the time of Jesu3 envy, hatred, and malice were aroused by his dem onstrations of the truth, so at this period, Mary Baker Eddy writes (Miscellaneous Writings, p. 134), "Error is only fermenting, and its heat hissing at the 'still, small voice' of Truth; but it can neither silence nor disarm God's voice." Joshua and his band were not dis couraged because the wall3 of Jericho did not fall at once. It was necessary that the army should march around the walls each day, for six days, and on the seventh day seven times. And not only did the people march to gether, but before the walls fell they shouted as with one voice. By the individual recognition that the real man reflects only Truth and Love, so-called mortal mind is denied, and its false beliefs of envy, jealousy, suspicion, hatred, and fear are de stroyed. Love is supreme. The Psalmist realized that men have the power to resist evil when he said, "The counsel of the Lord standeth for ever, the thoughts of his heart to all generations." The counsel ot the all-knowing Mind can and will guide men aright as they give up selfrwill and surrender to God, Truth. "The thoughts of his heart" are thoughts of peace. Are we listening to, these spiritual thoughts or ideas of peace and harmony, or are we be lieving that hate and fear are irresist ible? It is for each individual to answer aright this vital question. The Christian Science Monitor. Bank Files Its Answer to Claim of Department Give Their Position in PvEgard to Suit to Enjoin Bankirg Depart ment from Closing Bank. From Friday's Iaily The Journal some time ago pub lished the answer of the state de partment of banking to the action of the Bank of Murdcck which is reek ing to have the department enjoined from the closing of the bank and placing it in receivership. This morning the answer of the ban to that of the banking depart ment was filed in the office of the clerk of the district court and is as follows: "For further reply plaintiff alleges that since the filing of plaintiff's ap plication herein the Department of Banking and the Superintendent of Banks have exerted every effort and with the full power and prestige of their official position to defeat the plaintiff's application; that in spite of the fact that the application was led in court prior to tho time said de partment made any declaration of in solvency of said bank, said depart ment, disregarding said application, subsequently made said declaration and had same filed with the Clerk of the District Court; that thereafter said department prepared an answer to plaintiff's application well know ing that paragraphs 2, 3, 4, 5, 10, 11 and 12 of said answer was wholly in competent, misleading and deceptive, and caused said answer to be pub lished in the daily state papers ard in the county paper published in Plattsmouth, all having general cir culation in and around the town of Murdock among the depositors of said bank; that said paragraphs were stricken out by the District Court for he reason that same referred to con ditions and transactions of the bank long prior to the time said Banking Department approved the contract set up in plaintiff's application and were immaterial even if true. "That in these paragraphs stricken out by the court and published in said papers the Department of Bank ing sought and endeavored to, and did mislead the depositors of said bank as to the true condition of said bank; that said paragraphs contain ed many false and misleading state ments, for example said department alleged in said answer that an exam ination of said bank in July, 1033, showed that there were excess loans and past due loans in said bank in the total sum of $100,123.69, where as in truth and in fact, at said time the total loans and notes of all kinds in said bank did not exceed 164, 000.00 no part of which was excess loans and no part of same was past due except notes held by tile F. F. C. who asked that said loans be not renewed at said time; said answer and statements further falsely al leged that it would take at least 300 assessment to restore the rolvency of said bank and charged that the officers and directors were transfering their stock and reducing their deposits in said bank when in truth and in fact, no deposits what ever had been withdrawn while said bank was operated under said re stricted agreement and no transfer of stock had been made by any of said officers during said time. That said answer contained many other false insinuations and wrongful con clusions all tending to and meant to influence the depositors of said bank and public opinion and was a brazen attempt to try their case in the news papers before same could be heard in court on it's merits and their state ments disproven. "That said department at the time it published said statements afore said, well knew that the officers of said bank, during the year said bank was in charge of it's own officers under said restricted agreement that it had paid 17 to depositors in stead of 12 as required and was ready to pay 25 additional at once and in six months could have paid 25 more, making a total of 67 payment to said depositors, while the most the department has been able to borrow under it's new plan to pay depositors did not exceed 37. That said department well knew at the time it published said statements aforesaid that the loss on bonds was only about $4000 instead of $6000, as claimed; that the bank officers during the past year paid over $47, 000.00 of bills payable ,had elimin ated over $13,000.00 of questionable notes, and had made a profit during said year of over $2,700.00, and was in 23 better condition than the year before. "Plaintiff further alleges that the department filed a demurrer to the application of plaintiff herein and that same was argued and submitted to Judge Begley on the 3rd day of March, 1934, and that at the conclu sion of said argument said demurrer was overruled; that on Su nday, part- March 4, 1934, Judge Begley depa ed this life and thereafter Judse Fitzgerald of Omaha was assigned to the work in said judicial district; that said cause was set for hearing and trial before Judge Fitzgerald on the 24th day of March, 1934, and that on the afternoon of March 23, 1934, the day before said hearing, the Governor of said state appointed a new judge of said district thereby making a continuance of said cause necessary and giving said department time to make disseminate more mis information among the depositors of said bank. 'Plaintiff further alleges that after said demurrer was overruled by Judge begley tnat the general counsel for said Department of Banking pre pared a petition of Intervention and eent it to one of the dissatisfied de- Buying Drugs Blindfolded A Bad Practice Doctors throughout the world agree there is no greater folly than to buy and take unknown drugs.

Genuine Bayer Aspirin does not harm the heart MEMBrff M. W . positors cf said bank for the purpose of having same circulated among the depositors a.-kinsr that said bank be forthwith liquidated and left in the hands of said department; that said department has continually sought to defeat said application by unfair mans and tactics and has cau-ed it's agents and employees to resist sid application to the utmost, and said department and it's agents and em ployes have niade use of propaganda to damage said bnk, it's officers, stock holders, depositors, and directors; that instead of acting impartially and for the best interests ol the stock holders, depositors and officers of said bank, and exerting it's efforts to save said bank and comply with it's written contract, said department has brought to bear against said bank it's powerful organization to crush said bank, increase it's losses and prevent any reorganization thereof. Plaintiff further alleges that in spite of the statement made in open court by counsel for defendant that the assets and a flairs of said bank would be left in status quo said department turned over $14,000.00 in cash of said bank to the County Treasurer of Cass county notwithstanding raid amount was. not due and notwith standing- that said bank was making a profit on said cash; that notwith standing said appiicticn said depart ment has appointed itself as receiver cf said bank, has advertised for the filing of claims, has incurred large expenses and fees for advertising and assistance, ail lor the purpose of re sisting said application and showing to the court that if the bank io turn ed back to it's officers these expenses in any event will have to be paid."

As soon as they had them safely located they gave the alarm and the whole parkful of picknickers surrounded the sus pects, holding them for an officer, summoned by the excited Jimmy. i We are interested in making Feed Lot Cat tle Loans to experienc ed Cattle Feeders.
