The success of a bank and the
safety of the funds intrusted to
it depend upon a judicious admin
istration of its affairs.
Every active officer of the First
National Bank is a banker of
long experience.
Its Directors are well known men
selected for their business abil
ity and financial standing.
The strength of this bank lies not
alone in its largccapital, surplus1
and resources, but in the char
acter and financial responsibility
of the men. who conduct its
affairs.

The Farmers' Institute.
The annual Farmers' Institute, on Mon
day arid Tuesday of this week, was hold
at an inopportune time on account of the
storm that prevailed, It was hardly to bo
expected that people, especially from the
country, would attend during such weather.
There was, however, a fair attendance the
second day, and a splendid interest man
ifested A part of the program was omitted, of
course. Besides the music and readings
by local talent, which were well received,
O. Hull of Alma, Nobr., gave an address1
on "Soil Tillage for Small Grain," Prof.
W. E. Hunt of Syracuse, Nebr, presented
"Growing Potatoes;" H. D. Lute gave a
talk on 'Improving the Cattle of Ne
braska," and Miss Kauflman of Lincoln
told "What to Cook and How to Cook It."
It is impossible for us at this time to
give a resume of the addresses as we would
like to do, but we wish to mention two in
particular aod call attention to their im
portance, which, we doubt not, are of
vastly more importance to the people of
this country than is generally thought;
namely, Prat. Hunt's talk on growing po
tatoes, in which he gave valuable informa
tion in regard to diseases of potatoes, and
Mr. Hull's talk on soil tillage, with special
referenced a tbe conservation of moisture.
Doth of these addresses were not only re
pleto with statements of scientific facts
but were intensely practical.

That Cough
Must Stop
This is a. Lad time of the year
to neglect either a cold or
cough. A .cough easily leads
-into other aod ofton more tser

ing time arrives we wish to publish in Tho
Herald some of the most important mat
ters mentioned in these two addresses,
but of course it will not be practicable for
us to present to our readers in this way as
full a treatment as they should have for
those who are engaged directly in farm
ing. Uoth Mr. Hull and Prof. Hunt
strongly recommend that farmers of this
section write for state and government
bulletins, which give the results of ex
tensive experiments and investigations by
experts, and which arc sent free to those
who apply for them. Write Congressman
M. P. Kinknid, Washington, D. C., for
bulletin on "Diseases of Potatoes" and
other government bulletins, and Val Key
set, Supt. Farmers' Institutes, Lincoln.,
Neb , for bulletin on "Spraying Potatoes"
and other state bullatins.
