Lincoln Neb., Feb. 27.—Capital stock, surplus and undivided profits of state and national banks, loan, trust and investment companies in Nebras ka must be assessed and taxed as in tangible property under the revenue «ft of 1921, according to a decision handed down by the supreme court to day. The effect of the decision is to reduce bank assessments and taxes for 1922 to one fourth of the amount fixed by assessors and board of equal ization throughout the state and charged against the banks and similar financial institutions on the tax list. Jn an opinion written by Judge Day, the supreme court grants an injunction asked by the State Bank of Omaha vs. tiie county treasurer and other officials of Douglas county to prevent their collecting more than one fourth of the regular rate of tax. It is based on a federal court decision in the famous I ichmond case of several years ago, {^daring that no state could tax stock of national banks at a higher rate than other capital in private hands is taxed.

FOURTIETH ANNIVERSARY. The Christian Home Orphanage, Council Bluffs, Iowa, will have round ed out forty years of service in behalf of orphan and destitute children on March 16th. This great institution, known in all parts of the country, has been built up and maintained wholly by the voluntary contributions of the people. It has no other means of sup port. It cares for a daily average of more than two hundred children, re ceived from all parts of the country, and also conducts a hospital depart ment, a department for aged, depend ent women, and a department for the crippled and deformed. At present a most serious epidemic of flu has stricken the Homo, more than one hundred being sick many of them ser iously. Funds are badly needed to help meet the expense of this on slaught, and to help keep the work from debt. Every department of the institution is crowded, and appeals are made to the people to help. It is hoped that a Fortieth Anniversary offering to this work will relieve a pressing situation which, if long continued, will work serious injury to the Orphanage. Send something to help these little ones. Address The Christian Home Orphanage, Council Bluffs, Iowa. MRS. *DA M. CONKLIN. Mrs. Ida M. Conklin, wife of William E.

When you go to buy meat, there are certain pieces that should never be asked for by the pound or piece. For instance, you should not say to the butcher, “Give me two pounds of porterhouse steak.” nor should you say, “Give me 30 cents worth of pork chops.” The way to buy steak is by the cut, and you should always specify to the butcher the thickness that you desire. For example, you may ask for an inch thick sirloin steak or a two-inch por terhouse steak, and so on. A steak should never be cut less than an inch thick, but it may be from one to two and one-half inches thick, according to the personal preference of the family to be served. One of the commonest and most flagrant mistakes of cooks is to order steaks cut one-half inch or less in thickness, and then fry them to a tough and leathery mass. Any steak worthy of the name should be cut very thick. Chops should be bought according to the number of persons to be served. The rule is, a chop or two to each person. A riD roast, snouia De ordered Dy specifying the number of ribs. Thus, you would ask for a rib roast con taining two, three or more ribs, de pending on the. size of your family. Roasts from any other part of the beef, such as rump roast or chuck, may be bought by the pound. They can be cut into almost any size de sired, without workihg a disadvantage to either the dealer or the customer. When buying round steakjjt should be purchased by thickness, the same as sirloin or any other steaks. But frequently an entire cut is more than vou need to get. In that case specify that you want an “upper round” or “lower round.” The lower round should come cheaper. As we have already said, the quan tity of meat to purchase depends, of course, on the number of people serv ed. But sometimes it is economy to get more than you will need for a single meal. A large roast always cooks up better than a small one, be cause it does not dry out so much in the process and is a saving in both fuel and your time, as the part that is left over can be served in a variety of ways for other meals. MARION J. ANDERSON. (Stuart Advocate.) Marion J. Anderson, only son of Herbert J. and Effie M. Anderson, was bom at Newport, Nenraska, April 28, 1907, and died at Long Pine, Nebraska, February 10, 1923, being 15 years, 9 months and 12 days of age.
