The ABO of Banking Service Accommodation is the twin sis ter of courtesy; together they constitute the handmaidens of service. Accommodation is the faculty of doing favors; courtesy is the art of doing them graciously. They are natural complements. One is seldom found without the other. Accommodation and courtesy are distinguishing features of this Bank's service. Through them we impart a flavor to human relationships, whether they be business or social. They are Co-operation carried beyond the Fifty-Fifty Limit. ank off Ucnooim UNION NEBRASKA Miss Nettie McCarroll was visiting with friends in Nebraska City last Saturday. George V.

TWELVE POUCHES QF CHICAGO MAIL TAKEN Tive Youthful Bandits Hold Up Mai' Truck At the Union Station in the Windy City. Chicago, Jan. 18. Working sc juictly and quietly that more tha- score of persons looking on wer inaware of what had happened un it the deed had been accomplished y five youths held up a Unite Hates mail truck at the Union sta .ion here early today ahd escape n an automobile with twelve sack f mail. A cordon of police has beer hrown out in an attempt to capture them. Ten of the sacks stolen contained egistered mail but the value of theiT ontents can only be conjectured un '11 postal officials complete a care "ul check. Police profess to see in this latest obbery a continuation of recent rimes of a similar nature in the mid lie west, the latest of which was thf 85.000 mail robbery at Mount Ver mn. 111., last week. It is the belief 'f the police that this robbery an" 'ther recent ones are the work of one organization, working under one lead, and having "inside" tipsters tc irovide it with information coneern ng shipments of money by mail. The mall taken in the union sta ion robbery was to have left Chi cago on fast mall train No. 50 for Minneapolis. At Minneapolis thf nail is redistributed and sent on to Seattle. Portland, Spokane and other itiee of the Pacific northwest. Poetoffice authorities were utterly inable to estimate the amount of thr 'oot except to point out that the con ilgnment often runs in value as high s 5100.000. It was reported that 'he pouches contained a shipment of noney from the federal reserve bank nit this could not be verified early today. Approaching the station in an au omobile the bandits, none of whom eemed to be more than twenty years ld, drew their car alongside a gov ernment mail truck which had just backed up to a mail chute at the -tation. William Carter, the driver, ind Richard Sliney. a mail clerk, vere aboard the truck. Three of the bandits leaned out t the car and approached Carter, Sli ney and several mail handlers who had emerged from the station to as sist In unloading the mail. Without irawing their guns they informed the men that they were armed and or- iered them to throw the sacks of mail into the bandit car. The railroad and poetoffice attaches complied. The robbers then leaped into their aachine and sped away. Sliney cried out "stop that machine," but the leader of the outlaws brandished his revolver and before any of the on lookers sensed what bad transpired, the car was out of sight. Not even the license number of the bandit car was obtained. 1 1 1 1 1 1 n 1 1 1 i i n n m it 1 1 : t t CASS CO. FARM $ I BUREAU NOTES I II I 1 I I I 1 I M 1 1 1 1 I 1 1 1 M 1 i 1 1 I Home Butchering Suggestions. Hogs weighing from 200 to 250 pounds are preferable for farm butch ering, says a Nebraska College of Ag riculture extension bulletin called "Pork and Beef." Animals this size handle more easily and yield hams, shoulders and sides of better weights for curing. The chops and steaks will also be of handier size for table use. Barrows ordinarily yield a sounder, smoother, firmer strip of bacon. Seven hundred to onp thousand-pound cattle are the most con venient size. Heavier ones cut roasts and steaks too large for the average family use. Seventy to eighty pound lambs cut four chops to the pound and yield five or six pound trimmed leg roasts. Heavier lambs give "hotel" cuts too large for home u?e. It is well to handle animals with care before slaughtering. Stock bleeds more thoroughly and dresses more easily after a 24-hour fast. Run and wrestling an animal causes a temporary fever, and is killed in this condition the meat Is apt to be bloody and slimy. Such meat looks bad, tastes bad and spoils easily. A good water system should be the first step toward making the home modern. Some have electric lights lefore they have ranning water, be cause commercial concerns are in the 3eld selling lighting systems. How ever, a water system can be Installed for less money, and it is of greater service. A good many install the two at the same time, using an elec .ric motor to maintain water pres sure. Few farm homes are now built that are not modern. Those think ing of building or remodeling can ch ain valuable information regarding modern equipment from the College f Agriculture at Lincoln or the Cass 3ounty Farm Bureau. Corn Show. The Farmers Union put on a corn how at Louisville, Friday, January 1 4th. Twenty-four farmers entered heir corn, three yellow and the rest hite.

FUTURE DEALINGS TO GO ON Washington. Jan. 17 Several pro ponents of bills to regulate future xchanges which are now under con sideration by the houfe agriculture ommittee said today they did not xpect the enactment of such legisla ion at this session, principally be ause of lack of time. They added, iowever, that they expected the 'earings now being held will result n a basis being laid for such leg latio nlater. Two witnesses are yet to be heard y the committee before the hear ngs are closed. Herbert Hoover, ormer federal food administrator, -Ill appear Thursday and Clifford Thorne. representing the American "arm bureau federation next Tues iay. Today Julius H. Barnes, former lead of the United States grain cor--oration. urged that the proposed regulatory measures be not enacted lntil a national marketing commis lon of men familiar with the subject an be appointed to conduct an in vestigation. Exchanges are taking very means of eliminating the 'manipulation" of markets, he de clared. Wheat growers did not bear all the hrinkage in value of their crop last ear, he asserted. It fell largely, he aid. on the millers, merchants svfi 'ealers, 75 per cent of the crop, he idded, being marketed at $46,000, 100 over the prices received for the :ame proportion of the preceding year's production. RECEIVES PROMOTION The many friends of Mr., and Mrs. Lester Barkus, former residents of this city will be pleased to learn of the recent promotion that was given Mr. Barkus by the Burlington, by whom he has been employed for a number of years. The Barkus fam ily have been residing at Greybull, Wyoming, where Mr. Barkus has been stockman for the store department there and he has just been trans ferred to Gillette, Wyoming, to the position of storekeeper. The new po sition is an advancement both finan cially and in rank and comes as a well deserved recognition of the faithful work that this young man has given the railroad company. The change to .Gillette is very pleasing to the Barkus family as it places them among old friends as Mrs. S. S. Good ing and daughter, Miss Stella, reside on the Gooding homestead just a few miles from Gillette and Edward Rey nolds, brother of Mrs. Barkus, is also located there, so that the new home will have some of the familiar faces from the old Nebraska residence.
