System Counts
..
In everything, systematic procedure
wins. Hit and miss tactics always
fail.
This applies with equal force to
saving money. Save systematically.
Put away a stated minimum amount
every payday, or every so often, and
the rapid accumulation will surprise
you.
On our books are many successful
people who save regularly—in good
times and bad—and most of them
started with only a dollar. You can
do it, too. We pay 5 per cent on
savings.

NOTES FROM THE NORTHEAST
E. E. Cole was in the O’Neill mar
ket Monday with a load of hogs.
The snow of Saturday and Sunday
was beneficial to fall grain, which is
in good condition.
Martin Stauffer and Emmett Wertz
drove to Niobrara Saturday on busi
ness returning home the same day.
The farm sale of Mr. Reese, of
Knoxville, was well attended and prop
erty selling at satisfactory prices.
Charier Oole who has been iU for
s<jme time is reported recovering
■srotawseseous attack of rheumatism.
There appears to be an unusual de
mand for farms by renters and sev
eral changes will be made March 1st,
in this part of the county.
Some loss of cattle in stock fields
are (reported. We hire Inclined to
think farmers that do not pasture
stalk fields are to the good, financially.
Emmett Wertz was on the Page
market recently with sixty-six head
of Poland China’s that averaged 320
pounds, selling at top prices for that
day.
John Slack, of Dorsey, and Arthur
Tomlinson, of Knoxville, purchased
pedigreed stock at the Wertz farm
last week, Mr. Slack, an Aberdeen
Angus sire, and Mr. Tomlinson, a
Poland China.
Farmers in this part of the county
realize that good stock with proper
care is remunerative and not as ex
pensive to raise as poor stock. We
notice some very good cattle and hogs
on farms in this part of Holt county
and we note a sentiment to improve
cattle and hogs by purchasing in
dividuals of a satisfactory standard.
