The business of farming is the basic industry upon which all of the industries of the world de pend. Of course, even the very life of the people of the world de pends upon the production of food. When the farmer raises no crops, the banks of the country have no money, the merchant's business is poor, the manufac turer has little demand for his ocds and the whole world is topsy-turvey. Farming is the greatest busi ness in the world. This bank lends every encouragement pos sible to farmers. It appreciates that its prosperity depends upon the prosperity of the farmer. ank of UmiSoim UNION NEBRASKA E. V. Keet'.y ;:nd wife visittd in Omaha last Sunday, driving up in their car.

The horse which he mounted to ride to the barn for the purpose of work ing, had no bridle, but only a halter, but it was supposed to be safe, as the children had rode the animal dur ing last summer. Now is the opportunity to hear an excellent entertainment, clean and filled with fun and good entertain ment. The charges will be very low and especially wehn considered as it is a most excellent entertainment. A Worth While Practice It has been the habit of the fac ulty to provide something outside of the regular course of studies for the students of the high school from time to time, and in line with this policy last week they secured Dr. C. M. Swab for an instructive and enter taining talk on the subject of "Per sonality." Dr. Swab made his theme applicable to the student as well as the man of affairs in the business world. The practice of having such talks at intervals is a good one and is proving popular with the students as well as productive of much good. Will Give Entertainment.

Clarke the hotel man. as well as many others, are saying that the business matters are assuming better conditions and that trade is increas ing. We think we also notice more people and more trading, the roads are getting better to travel and there are more people shelling and deliver ing grain, even at the lower prices, and are getting in condition for the coming spring work. At the place of business ofFrank Bauer, that gen tleman is so busy that he does not have time to tell us the news now. Go to it gentleman, we are for you and hope business may greatly increase. Matthew McQuinn Very Serious. It was deemed after a consultation last week that it was the best thing . to take Mr. Matt McQuinn to a hos ; pital in Omaha, where better facili ! tits could be had in treating his case. ; He was accompanied by the family physician. Dr. J. F. Brendel, and j Mrs. McQuinn. and after having been there long enough to obtain a slight rest an x-ray was taken of his side, and it was determined after a critical examination of the picture that it would require a major operation, but an incision would be necessary for the draining of his lung, which was filled greatly with puss from the in fection. It was thought that it would require the removal of one of the ribs in order to get at the puss cyst. A telephone call from Omaha on Mon day morning requested W. H. Marks to come as Mr. McQuinn was very ser ious. Thomas McQuinn however, re turned home Monday afternoon, and reported the father as feeling some better. His condition is regarded as very grave, however. (Union continued in Monday's Mis. M. J. Burbee Better.
