Why Banks Open Late
and Close Early
There is a prevailing notion because
banks open late in the .morning and close
early in the afternoon that the hours of
the banker are short.
But remember that the banker cannot
make entries upon his books, cannot at
tend to collections, cannot sort his checks,
count his cash or attend to his correspon
dence while he is waiting on his customers.
All this needs to be done before the bank
opens in the morning or after it closes at
night. The banker must balance his books
every day.
The average number of hours work by.
bank employes throughout America is
perhaps as great as those of any other
vocation.
In the rendering of service to the peo
xple of this community, the officers of this
bank do not watch the clock. We are
working for the best interests of the com
munity and its citizens the full quota of
hours every day.

The bridge gang, which have been
constructing the bridge across the
Weeping Water creek a few miles
northeast of Union, and which is, by
the way, an excellent piece of work,
were compelled to lay off from their

snow storm.

esting sermons, and where there was

operation in the near future..
Eight Had Birthdays Sunday.
How such a coincidence could
could have happened in so small a
town as Union that that many should
have happened to have birthdays on
the same day is a wonder, but it is
said that they were all happy on the
return of their natal day. Wheth
er the happiness came from the
birthday or from some other source,
many are wondering.
Five and Fifty Years. t
Engineered by his daughter, Mrs.

Would Like the Money.
Just at this time there is an ur
gent demand for payment of invoic
es, and the end of the year coming
we are having to make payment for
goods which we have received, and
in many cases sold, and as we have
been very lenient with .those owing
accounts, we think it only proper
and right that they should call and
settle the accounts which we are
carrying. We are thanking you for
your prompt attention to the ac
counts. At the same time we say,
we are now underselling other towns
and will save you money. We will
have another message for yu next
week. The store for service.

" It Was a Sweet Evening.
That is the young people of I'n
ion had a taffy pull, and if that is
not a sweet job, we are no judge
The event was pulled off at the
home of Mr. and Mrs. George Everett

know how to have a splendid time
as well as make-the best taffy. Those
present were Misses Winona Dysart,
Laura Willis, Viola Willis. Messrs
Leslie and John Everett, Bert and
Bud 'Willis, John, Ray and Roy
Becker.
Enjoy Pleasant Evening.'
Just themselves and no one else,
the members of the W. L. T. club
of the Union young ladies met at
the home of Mrs. Vesta Clarke,
where they had a most delightful
time. The young ladies had a most
enjoyable evening as they met to
gether to look after the business mat
ters of the club, and also to obtain
some of the pleasure of the social
tide of life. They, of course, had
some eats and as they are all adept
cooks they well knew how to prepare
and enjoy the delightful things
to eat which they provided.
Sure Doing Good Work.
The Royal Neighbors of America,
the ladies of the Modern Woodmen
of America, are workers that ac
complish, even if they do notcut
wood. They have been energetical
ly adding to their roll of member
ship, and at a meeting last Satur
day evening were able to instruct a
class of fifteen in the mysteries tof
woodcraft as exemplified by the Roy
al Neighbors. They will have an
other meeting in the near future
and another class as well. They
have the habit of having. a banquet
at the conclusion of their meetings
and did not miss it at the last meet
ing.
Entertained Ladies Aid.
Mrs. Charles Garrison, at her
beautiful home northeast of Union
last Thursday afternoon, entertained
the members -and friends of the La
dies Aid society of the Baptist
church at which time a most splend
id and enjoyable program was pre
sented by the ladies of the society
and a most pleasant afternoon ws
had by all who were in attendance
A most enjoyable luncheon was had
during the afternoon and from the
work of the ladies a neat sum was
Tealized by the society for the use
of the church work.
The board of the Baptist church
have arranged for a supply minister
for the church at Union until such
time as they are able to secure a
regular minister. They have secured
the service of Rev. M. R. Gaston of
, Lincoln, who delivered the first ser
I mon last Sunday and which was con
tsidered as being most able. The ser
vice will be during the morning, and
not in the evening.
Meets a Road Hoe.
Last Sunday, A. L. Becker was
a visitor at the home of his mother.
Mrs. Lavina Becker at Milford for a
short time and on his return ' caaie
through Lincoln following the "O '
rtreet road from their to Union
While coming home just after it nad
turned dark, he met another car
some two miles this side of Elm-.
wood, and the other man having an
unusually large car, would not give
any part of the road and Mr. Becker
was not able to get his car entirely
out of the way and the other car
struck the hub cap of his front wheel,
tearing it off and breaking the steer
ing gear of his car, which caused it
to run into the ditch. Mr. Beckei
then telephoned for one of the boys
to come alter nim and in the mean
time had the car pulled out of the
ditch and placed in the barn yard, of
a neighbor. Mr. Becker, with many
another man, does not have a very
high opinion of a "road hog." They
will go after the disabled car in a
short time.
Had to Stop Shelling;.
,H. H. Becker began the job of
; sneinng corn for Charles Reeves last
, Monday and was getting along nice
; ly until the snow set in and made
jboth the shelling and delivering of
jthe grain a very nasty job, so the
work had to be abandoned for the
, time being.
Attended Meeting.
W. B. Banning, who. is intensely
interested in the Federated Farm Bu
reau, and County Commissioner C.
F. Harris, were in attendance at
the meeting which was held at Weep
ing Water to effect an organization,
in order that the farmer could have
a fair show in the distribution of
wealth and especially which he is
the main spoke in the wheel in cre
ation, that which comes from the soil
on the farm.
Will Open Restaurant.
A. Creamer, who hails front the
sunny southland, and has been mak-
ing his home at the . Missouri'-Pacific
station for some time past, be
ing connected with the railway as
an employe, has resigned his" posi
tion and rented the Davis house on
Main street, which has but recently
been vacated by the telephone com
pany, they returning to the rooms
in I he Woodman building. Mr.
Creamer expects to engage in the res
taurant business in the near future
and will have the new eating house
denominated the "Busy Bee" eating
house. He will expect to be ready
for business by the first of the week.
Will Hold Bazaar Saturday.
The ladies of the Methodist church
have completed their arrangements
for holding a bazaar at the Farmer's
store next Saturday, when they will
have a number of booths at that place
of business for the sale of their wares
which will consist of fancy work,
baked goods and such things as will
be a splendid aid in the preparing
of the Sunday dinner. The ladies
will appreciate your patronage as
well as any contribution to the
cause, as this is all church work and
you can well afford to give them
your patronage.
Had a Splendid Time Sunday.
In the absence of a minister, the
ladies of the Woman's Christian Tem
perance Union, occupied the hour for
evening worship at the Methodist
church last Sundaj giving a most
enjoyable as well as interesting and
instructive exercise. The evening
consisted of a number of musical
numhers. among which were solos
and quartettes, that gripped the au
dience as being excellent. Miss Bes
sie LaRue was especially gracious in
a solo which she rendered, while.
Miss Gussie Robb, Miss Nettie Mc
Carroll both of the faculty of the
Union schools. Superintendent C. E.
Segeryn. and Mr. Ray Frans, gave a
few numbers as a quartette which
wer? most pleasing. Rev. Fletcher
gave an address which appealed to
the hearers in a most pleasant way,
while Mrs. Nettie Stanton in a
reading, entirely captivated the au
dience by her almost perfect ren
dition of a most pleasing number.
The audience was especially well
pleased with the entire program.
Had Pleasant Afternoon.
Th,e members of the Woman's
Christian Temperance Union held
their regular meeting at the home
of Mrs. Barbara Taylor and her
daughter. Miss Elsie, last Tuesday,
when Mrs. Nettie Stanton was the
leader. The program was one of
much interest and was enjoyed by
a large number of the ladies of the
society. The afternoon's enjoyment
was heightened by the serving of a
delightful luncheon by the hostes
ses. Auxiliary Enjoys Pleasant Meet
Mrs. Rose Kendall entertained at
her home last Thursday, the mem
bers of the Episcopal Auxiliary,
when they met to look after some
business matters of the society and.
for the enjoyment of a pleasant af
ternoon. Mrs. Kendall and daugh
ters are adepts in entertaining and
to say the afternoon was one worth
while would only be telling a por
tion of the story. The afternoon
was one indeed of great pleasure to
the ladies in attendance and the
delightful luncheon was enjoyed by
the ladies.

get busy. Storms are coming and no doubt plenty of

The stock need good, warm "shelter, the imple

the house needs some repairs, or a storm door, or some

Met With Great Success.
The bazaar of the Christian church
which the ladies aid of that church
held at their parlors last Saturday,
was a success far beyond their most
ardent expectations. They had
worked hard and had reason to be
lieve that they would succeed, but
were not expecting that they would
meet with . the abundant success
which came to them. They sold
most everything which they had in
stock and fed the hungry people. It
is asserted by one of the men mem
bers of the church that they received
(258.29 and had six doughnuts left
over and everybody satisfied, no one
going away hungry. It is a sure
thing that the ladies always do
things not by halves but complete
ly when they go after a proposition.
