NATIONAL BANKS FAIL. When
they do depositors lose heavily. Why?
Because deposits in National Banjts
are not guaranteed.
STATE BANKS FAIL. When they
do depositors are paid in full. Why?
Because deposits in State Banks are
protected by the Depositors Guarantee ,
Fund of the State of Nebraska.

declared in. This spirit is exemplified

(*OV. BRYAN’S EXECUTIVE
COUNCIL IDEA DISCARDED
The famous Bryan Executive Coun
cil Plan known as H. R. No 315. was
thrown over the transom Wednesday
afternoon by a vote of 53 to 46. Rep
resentative Donald Gallagher, of this
city, was one of the three republicans
who voted for the Bryan idea. In ex
olaining his vote Mr. Gallagher says:
"I believe it little, if anything, short
f criminal for members of the legis
aUire to play politics at a time like
His and on a matter in which the .peo
ple are so intensely interested as They
are in the Bryan-Dysart controversy.
I conscientiously considered both plans
from every angle and came to the con
clusion that the Bryan plan was the
more meritorious. Furthermore, I
heard the voice of the people in my
district and of the state at large say
ing to me: ‘Support the governor in
his effort to reduce taxes.’ ”
ST. MARY’S PRESENT
“OVER THE RAINBOW’’
The Operetta “Over The Rainbow”
which was to have been given on St.
Patrick’s Day, March 17tn, was post
poned until Tuesday evening when it
was greeted by a packed house. A
matinee was given Tuesday afternoon.
On account of the large number who
were unable to purchase seats for the
first performance it was decided to
repeat the entertainment Wednesday
evening.
The Operetta was composed of
about one-hundred students of the
grades of St. Mary’s Academy who
were attired in beautiful costumes; as
sisted by a musical program composed
of pupils of St. Mary’s Academy.
The entertainment was thoroughly
enjoyed by those who were present.
Each member of the cast did their part
exceptionally well. The Sisters of St.
May’s academy who had charge of
the play and entertainment are deserv
ing of considerable praise for the ex
cellent manner in which each pilpil did
their part.

AN OLD TIME BLIZZARD
ARRIVES HERE SATURDAY
About ten o’clock Saturday morning
one of those old time blizzards de
scended upon this part of the state
and before noon it was difficult to see
across the street. The storm raged
until some time during Saturday
night when snow ceased falling. The
thermometer dropped to eleven de
grees below zero Saturday night; Sun
day was extremely cold and disa
greeable with a stiff wind blowing.
The thermometers registered ten de
grees below Sunday night.
Several farmers were in the city
Saturday morning with hogs and were
forced to remain in town until the fol
lowing day although some of them
made an effort to get home but were
compelled to return to town.
The weather was decidedly warmer
again Monday and Tuesday.
Wednesday another snow storm
visited this territory accompanied by
a strong wind which filled the cut with
snow and again stopped traffic.
A number of farmers have reported
the loss of young pigs. Among the
number was F. H. Lancaster who lost
thirty-five pure bred pigs about one
day old.
The Chicago & Northwestern rail
road was snowbound in the eastern
part of the state Sunday and Monday,
as was also many other lines includ
ing the Burlington branch to Sioux
City.
About thirty teachers from this
part of the county were at Ewing Sat
urday attending a county teachers
meeting, when the blizzard arrived and
they were unable to reach O’Neill until
about four o’clock Sunday morning.
The Burlington between O’Neill and
Sioux City failed to arrive last night
on account of yesterday’s snow storm.
However, the snowplow went down the
line this morning and no doubt the
passenger will “get in” on time to
night.

Every Twentieth Century machine has its part in
serving man in a better way than he was served before.
But if you had to do without all but one of the
modern inventions, which one would you keep?
To realize the value of the telephone to all of us
in our every day business and ‘social life, we have only
to glance back a comparatively few years and recall
what we did when there were no telephones.
Of all modern conveniences, the telephone is per
haps without an equal in the service provided, which
is many times greater than the price charged.
