THE FAMILY ALBUM OF
OUR GOVERNMENT
Interesting Pictures Take Place of
Many Words In Series of
Popular Booklets.
For live consecutive months there
has been mailed to many homes
throughout this community a series
of illustrated articles on the activities
and achievements of the different de
partments of the United States Gov
ernment. The writers of this series
of stories have succeeded admirably
in keeping away from the old stero
typed style of government articles,
and in showing in a fascinating way
how each *of the various factors of
our government serves the individual
man, woman and child.
The illustrations have been very
effective in holding the Interest. Their
range makes this series a family
of the government departments and
has added greatly to the eagerness
with which the articles are being re
ceived by children and those of foreign
birth as well as by fullfledged citizens.
Thus far this collection has comprised
the Declaration of Independence; The
World’s Biggest Job—The Presidency;
The Department of State; The Post
Office Department; The World’s Fore
most Engineer—The Department of
the Interior. Each of these stories
has been prepared after a most careful
survey and original research which
has brought the account of the ever
changing functions of each depart
ment up to the minute.
The Officers of The O’Neill National
Bank have made many new friends
during the past year.
We have also gained many new de
positors and it is gratifying to know that
we have been of real service to them.
For the coming year, we want to ex
tend to those who are not our customers,
the privileges of our bank, believing that |
we can be mutually helpful.
To our friends, patrons and citizens of
the entire community, we wish A Pros
perous and Happy New Year.

The Deming Theatre Company has
been holding down the boards at the K.
C. theatre this week. This ocmpany
is one of the best that has visited this
city for several years and they are
entitled to better patronage than they
have been receiving. The leading man,
leading lady and the comedian are
especially strong, in fact the latter is
by far the best in his line that has
ever appeared in O’Neill. This
company will be here the balance of
the week,closing Saturday night and if
you desire a good evening’s entertain
ment do not fail to go and see them.
The county board met in regular I
session last Tuesday to clean up the
year’s business. Three members of
the present board, Supervisors Scholl
meyer, Rotherham and Chairman F. C.
Watson retire from the board after the
first of the year and will be succeeded
by new men. Supervisor Schollmeyer
will be succeeded by L. C. McKim of
Opportunity; L. E. Skidmore of Ew
ing, wll succeed Supervsor Rother
ham, while Chairman Watson will be
succeeded by S. S. Riley of Amelia.
Of the new members Supervisor-elect
Skidmore is the only one that has had
experience as a member of the county
board. He has served about ten years
as a member of the county board and
also served one term as county as
sessor. The retiring members have
made good faithful servants of the
people but all are happy at the
thought of retiring to private life.
- A Mind Reader.
Kansas City Star: “Come now!
Don’t look so miserable,” said the
photographer. “Just pretend in your
own mind that you are going to get
married tomorrow.”
“Dad-burn the dad-burn luck!” re
turned the sitter, “That’s precisely
what I am going to!”
The text is written in popular style
and gives a clear idea of the duties
of the United States government de
partments and of the work of each of
them in furthering the individual in
terests of every resident within the
borders of the country. It is to the
enterprise and community interest of
the Nebrasaka State Bank that the
distribution of this material is due. .
The first folder contains the story
of the Declaration of Independence,
with illustrations of the scenes that
are associated with the event. Next
comes an article on the Presidency
with unusual historical prints and!
portraits.
This is followed by a booklet on the
Department of State with an account
of its history and the part it has
played in the great game of inter
national politics. The story of the
Post Office Department, which comes
next, gives a most interesting and
well written account of the difficulties
which have been overcome in order
that every remote outpost of our far
flung territory may be in constant
touch with every other Post Office
within our borders.
The latest article to appear is a fas
cinating story of the work of the De
partment of the Interior with un
usually interesting illustrations, pic
turing the work of the government’s
engineers and of the Great National
Parks, Yellowstone and Mesa Verde,
which are maintained under this de
partment’s jurisdiction. This series
is of very real value. Not only is it
interesting and entertaining but it is
educational in a high degree, and it is
most timely.
We understand that it is still pos
sible to obtain the back numbers of
this series and the portfolios designed
to preserve them in permanent form
by making personal application dur
ing business hours.
