DEFENSE!
- Defense used in any sense means preparedness
against loss. The strongest financial defense a
checking account in this hank.
- It is sure to pay in good times or bad; in times of
world war or business depression.
- A check book, and the attached stubs properly made
out, is your best defense against having to pay the
same bill twice.

Dunbar Defeats Union
Sure there was a ball game at
Union and a good one at that, and
playing though vallianily as she did.
Union was beaten, but she has no
reason to feel badly about it for
the tally sheet told of the close score
of three for the home team anil four
for the visitors. The game was be
tween Union and Dunbar and each
acted as perfect gentlemen. One
prominent Union citien said we had
no game as he thought it was just
near victory so many times only to
have the other team get it. The
"Union Sammies" are playing pretty
good ball and after having worked
I all week, it is difficult to do the best
J playing.

They make an excellent pair. W.

street makers. It is no josh when
we say they sure know how to do
the work to the satisfaction of all
concerned. In one of th street.'
towards the north part of town the
other day as they were scraping
their slip caught under the stones
just under the surface of the earth
and they were guessing for a while
whether they were not uncovering
some of the ancient ruins of Pom pal.
They soon found out it was only a
small stone quarry in the street ami
were content to go peaceably alons
with their work.
Wagon Goes Wrong
Whiie driving near Union a short
time ago. C. E. Hartford in company
with his daughter, had their car go
wrong ana were compelled ox anau
unn the car and return home on Hie
train. They placed the auto in the
hands of Mr. Hobert Willis and his
compliment of excellent workmen,
who are placing the machinery in
excellent condition.

vice following, while in the after
noon the younger people's societies
will meet and in the evening the
Senior Epworth league, and also
preaching in the evening. A cor
dial invitation is extended to all to

He Sure Got By
Grant Clarence, who some thirty
years ago. departed from Union to
make his home in the west and land
er near Golden. Washington, where
be and his wife have made their
home for some time. He is succeed
ing nice on their farm, and conclud
ed that they would like to see old
Union and its good natured citizens
again, harnessed up their Chevrolet
and made the trip, arriving safe and
sound and will visit here with
friends for some time before return
ing. They Don't Use Them Now
One of the citizens of Union a
few days ago recalled at a time not
so many years since, -when the far
mers from the surrounding country
called upon the city dads of Un
ion with a protest against the seem
ing carelessness in not providing
hitching posts for the farm teams
and suggested that unless there
were provisions made for hitching
the farmers teams, that they would
withhold their patronage. The posts
were placed in position and all
reigned serene. They now need car
parking space for their cars and to
morrow they will be wanting hang
ers for the airplane. City dads have
to keep on the hop to keep abreast
of the times.
Some Talk of a Band
Yes there are an abundance of
material for a good band in and
near Union and considerable interest
is being taken in the matter of the
organization of a band at this place
This looks like it is a good move
and one which should be productive
of good results, ana should receive
the encouragement of all the busi
ncss men and active working citi
zens. Get behind the move gentle
men and push it along.
What's the Matter of a Park
For thirty-three years with the
one that is to be held this summer,
the people of Union and community
have kept going the beautiful idea
of meeting once a year and in the
fall, with a get-together meeting,
when old time friends can meet each
other and greet each other and talk
over the old times. This had had
to be held wherever chance threw
it. Union is big enough and should
have a park of her own near or adja
cent to the city where functions ol
these kinds could be held. Some
patriotic person should donate a
pan el of ground for the purpose and
the city should care for the same.
Star Was in the South
Last week Orville Hathaway and
Charlemaine Heverage and another
party hitched up the car of Mr.
Hathaway and departed for the
south where they spent the day
down the line and thereby missed
the ball game between Union and
Dunbar, which was an excellent
game.
Shove Over a Little Gentlemen
It has been mentioned by some
that there is a need of closer co-operation
with the business men of Un
ion. Union should enjoy all the
trade possible from the surrounding
country and it is only by all of the
business men working in unison in
Union, that this can be accomplish
ed. What is good for one of the
citizens of Union should be good for
them all. Get together and more
effective work can be accomplished
than working singularly. It has al
ways been noted that team work in
any line always pays. Try it once
gentlemen, and you will make good
progress.
Receiving Many Wounds
Last Monday morning just a lit
tle after midnight, while Herold
IMy and E. Wiles of Weeping Water-,
were returning from Nebraska City,
just as they turned the corner about
a mile from Wyoming, or attempted
to turn a corner, their car, a Hud
son Speedster, hit the bank and
went over into a ravine in a field.
almost demolishing the car and al
most doing the same with Mr. Wiles.
A passerby happening along assisted
the young men to extricate them
selves trom the wreckage and has
tened with Mr. Wiles to the office of
Dr. W. M. Barritt of Union, where
his wounds were dressed, it requir
ing until after daylight to complete
the work. There were some thir
teen cuts all over his person, some
on legs, arms, and body, with but
two on the face.
The corner is not the easiest to
negotiate even in the day time and
at right instead of turning at the
proper place, the car went on and
caused the accident.

he expected. In the vicinity of Mur
ray some hail is reported and which
did some damage to com but not
what is considered serious. The wet
weather has interfered with the har
