FIRST TO LOWER INTEREST RATES!
During depression and drouth, the Land Bank Cooperative
Credit System was first to lower interest rates to 4 per
cent. Then, as now, the Land Bank System was FIRST in
serving the farmer.
FIRST TODAY!
For the farmer or rancher who wants to achieve debt-free
home ownership, a Land Bank loan is first choice today.
A Land Bank loan offers long term—low interest—pre
payment privileges—PLUS the understanding that only
the farmers’ and ranchers’ own credit system can offer.

TWO-CYLINDERS, CHAIN DRIVE, AND A PLAN
Not a 1947 model, but J. J.

They are shown on the Atlant

1902 “buggy.” The car has a
two-cylinder engine and a
chain drive. Ruth says it will

Out of Old Nebraska —
Six-Shooter Had Important
Part in Quieting the Plains
_ <
By James C. Olson
Supt., State Historical Society
The Westerner of fiction and
the movies never appears
without hiS trusty six-shooter
strapped to his side. During
the early days in many parts
of the West, including Nebras
ka, this was literally true, and
high on the list of those inven
tions which helped settle the
plains must stand Samuel
Colt’s six-shooter.
The six-shooter was the
American’s answer to the
changing problems which con
fronted him when he emerged
from the forests of the East
to the wide-open spaces of the
Western plains. Back East
the long rifle of Daniel Boone
served the pioneer well as a
means of defense against In
dians lurking behind boulders
and in the underbrush. Out
here on the plains, however,
the white man found his In
dian foe mounted on swift,
tireless ponies. To defend him
self and to get over the ground
in this vast wilderness, the
white man too got mounted.
He soon found that the long
rifle simply wasn’t adapted to
fighting from astride a gal
loping horse. Numerous types
of shoulder-f i r e d weapons
were developed to meet the
needs of mounted warfare, but
none of these equalled the six
shooter in popularity of use
fulness.
Rifles Too Heavy
Capt. James H. Cook, the
noted scout, cowboy, and nat
uralist, who spent his last
years near Agate in Sioux
county, once read a paper be
fore the State Historical soci
ety in which he described
graphically the importance of
the six-shooter to the cowboy,
particularly on the long drive
from Texas north to Nebraska.
“All went armed with heavy
revolvers or knives,” he said,
“but few carried rifles. One
reason for not carrying rifles
was that the added weight on
one side of a horse, on those
hard trips was known to be
a great cause of saddle galls,
a thing to be most strictly
guarded against on an 1,800
mile trip, for a horse with bad
saddle sores to torture him
cannot thrive, and much hing
ed on the condition of the sad
dle horses when handling
these immense herds of wild
cattle.”
On the trip in question the
entire outfit possessed only
one rifle. It was hauled in the
wagon except when they need
ed a little elk, deer, or ante
lope meat for a change of diet.
Surprise Element
When the six-shooter was
first used in Indian fighting it
possessed the added advantage
of a surprise weapon and one
which definitely disrupted In
dian tactics. When opposed
by a single-shot weapon the
Indians would draw fire and
DOSING YOUR STOMACH
FOR CONSTIPATION . . .
When constipation hangs on and you
have that listless, “half alive” feeling
chances are it'a not your stomach but your
intestinal tract that's at fault. Sluggish
intestinal muscles permit waste to accumu

miserable, nervous and out of sorts.
For real relief... take the new, im
proved, Adlerika the Tone-Up laxative.
It moves waste quickly but gently to re
lieve constipation and gas. You’ll enjoy a
new feeling of pep and vitality when your
digestive system is in perfect order. Try !

> then rush their opponent while
he was reloading. With the
six-shooter this simply did not
work.
The six-shooter was as well
adapted to hunting as it was
to Indian fighting, and the ex
tinction of the buffalo on the
Western plains can be laid, in
part at least, to the efficiency
of the six-shooter in the hands
of the mounted hunter. Its
popularity in the Old West,
then, is not to be wondered at.
Perhaps, too, there are some
who can be excused for be
lieving that Westerners still
“wear ’em low on the right
leg and pull ’em smokin’.”
Ink Not Yet Dry
When Settlers Move In —
The ink was hardly dry on
the Kansas- Nebraska bill
which opened this territory for
settlement when men from
Iowa and Missouri began spill
ing across the river to stake
out claims for themselves and
to lay out new towns.
Many of these early settlers
were convinced that the way
to fame and fortune in this
new territory was to get in on
the ground floor of a rising
young town, buy up town lots
and sell them at a handsome
profit when the town should
have developed into “the em
porium of the west.” as it was
sure to do. They confidently
expected, too, that such devel
opment would take plhce in
the matter of a few years.
This spirit naturally led to a
great deal of speculation in
town lots and laying out new
towns came to be one of the
principal occupations of the
early settlers. Indeed, it look
ed for a time as though the en
tire. Missouri river valley
would be taken up with towns.
One session of the legislature
even considered the advisabil
ity of arbitrarily reserving
certain sections of land for ag
ricultural purposes.
Churches Plentiful
Once a town was laid out its
proprietors hurried to get
town stock printed, together
with a map shewing the city
that was to be. This map
spared nothing. Churches of
every denomination were
shown. Several blocks were
designated as a university.
Two trans-continental rail
road lines always joined in the
center of the community.

Pauline Betz, of Los Ang
eles, Calif, (left) shakes hands
with Mrs. Sarah Palfrey Cook,
of New York City, as they
start professional tour. They
were both former U. S. ama
teur tennis champions.
It is not surprising that im
migrants lured to Nebraska by
these beautiful maps were bit
terly disappointed to find
when they arrived that the
city of their destination had
only a few miserable shacks—
or perhaps only stakes mark
ing off the lots.
Inducements Offered
The more substantial of the
early towns, however, soon
busied themselves taking on
the appearances of the city.
Lots were given away to any
one who would build upon
them. Attractive inducements
were o'fered for the establish
ment of business or industrial
enterprises. Whenever possi
ble the proprietors made ar
rangements for a newspaper.
Frequently they purchased the
equipment themselves, hiring
an editor to get the paper out.
Many of the early papers were
designed, first, to serve as ad
vertising sheets and, second, to
provide news for the populace.
Consequently it often is easier
to learn from their files what
was to be, rather than what
actually was.
Some of the early towns
were simply speculative
schemes. Many others failed
to develop as their founders
had hoped. Yet many of the
towns now dotting the map of
Nebraska, particularly those
in the eastern part of the state,
had their origin in the town
building mania of territorial
days. _

Industry. •
Administrative control of the
beer industry in Nebraska is a
three-way job.
(1) It starts in the local com
munity where officials, backed
by the local public opinions,
decide initially what applica
tions for license they will ap
prove. These officials also have
the first responsibility for see
ing that the licensed establish
ments in their communities are
lawfully operated.
(2) Next, there is the ever
ready force of the State Liquor
Control for higher administra
tion, granting of licenses,
continuous inspection of li
censed establishments, and1
punishment of violators of the
license laws.
(3) Then, there is the service
of the Nebraska Committee of
the United States Brewers
Foundation, always watchful
of the conduct of beer license
es, and always ready to coop
erate with both the Communi
ty and the State by applying
control from within.
