JACK FROST
Jack Frost comes like a thief in the night.
If you have any growing plants out he will nip
them—unless they are covered over—pro
tected. And how about your money? Is it
protected against the Burglar—another thief
who comes in the night? Protect your money
by keeping it here. It is safe here. No thief
can get it while you do not need it and when
you do need it you can get it at any time.

| ACTUAL EVIDENCE OF 1
| GUARANTEE FUND PROTECTION |
A short time ago the Farmers’ State Bank of Decatur, Nebraska,
closed its doors. jj
The deficit was a considerable amount, but did the depositors stand jj ,
the loss? They did not—and this is the reason.
• |j| The State Banking Board drew checks on the Depositors’ State Guar
antee Fund on October 13th in full payment to every depositor.
This concrete example of how quickly and positively this Guarantee
Fund operates to the benefit of the people of this state demands the serious jj j
? thought of everyone in this community. U 1
Security for his funds is the desire of every man.
Why take even the slightest risk ? jj 1
i.—j
What reason to carry any element of doubt in your mind ?
By depositing your maney in the Nebraska State Bank you have the
full protection of the Depositors’ Guarantee Fund of the State of Ne
braska, which is now OVER A MILLION DOLLARS.
This protection costs you nothing. It is yours the minute you make j§j
your deposit in this bank.
There are many other advantages in making a connection with this
live institution which is noted for its liberal policy and painstaking, care
ful service to each individual depositor and client.
Your account, whether large or small, is welcome and you are invited
to call and have a personal talk with one of our officers.

The Frontier made an error Iasi
week in the name of the young mar
who won the $400 sweepstakes at the
stock judging show in Massachusetts
ten days ago. The young man’s name
is Walter F. Roberts, instead ol
Arthur, and he is a son of Mr. and
- Mrs. E. F. Roberts of this city, instead
> of A. J. Roberts. Mr. Roberts won two
. $400 scholarships but could accept only
one, the raise providing that no
student could receive more than one
I scholarship, so the other want to the
k second highest man. He won the DeLavel
, sweepstakes for making the highest
r score in judging Ayeshires, Guernseys,
, Holstiens and Jerseys. It was largely
. through the slendid work of this Holt
county boy that the University of Ne
I braska was able to win the honor of
I having the best stock judging team in
I any college in the United States. In
, a letter received from Mr. Roberts by
C. L. Benson, his brother-in-law, he
| stated that he would visit New York
and Washington before his return to
! Nebraska, where he will resume his
t studies at the University of Nebraska.
t Mr. Roberts won a distinguished honor
1 for his Btate and his county and The
Frontier heartily congratulates him
upon his achievement.
