Millions of persons have carried Travelers Cheques to every nook and cranny of the earth. Inexpeiienced travelers as well as veteran globe trot ters have found this form of self-identifying travel funds essential to their comfort. When you buy Travelers Cheques at this bank you convert your travel money into a form of currency which is ready negotiable anywhere, and yet which can be spent by no one but you. Travelers Cheques are popular with tourists because they positively safeguard travel funds. They are popular with hotels and railroad and steam ship companies because they are not alluring loot to thieves and because they eliminate embarrassment and hazards incidental to cashing personal checks. We regard the sale of this international currency as one of the most important phases of our complete banking service. It costs little to insure your funds against loss by purchasing Travelers Cheques at ths bank. ank of Union Checking Accounts Safety Deposit Boxes Loans, Exchange and Bonds UNION - - NEBRASKA A. W.

If so, and you are waiting for lower prices, you are only adding expense later on. The extra paint required for the same job will more than offset any decline that might come, as paint prices are very reasonable at present. Buildings allowed to go unpainted naturally de terioate very rapidly. Those rusty streaks down the sides are from nails, and as nails rust the building be comes loose and is apt to become greatly weakened. Now is a good time to Paint 'em up. We sell the famous Sherwin-Williams Co. products. Best by test. We appreciate your patronage. Frans Bros'.

At the conclusion of the game, a lady who was a supporter of the Sciota team, clapped her hands and in doing so excited the feelings of a supporter of the Union team, who asked that the former desist from clapping her hands in the latter's face. Not heeding the admonition that "A soft answer turneth away wrath, but grevious words stir up anger," the Sciota fannette let fly the grevious words and in the course of but a moment the ladles were going in for a settlement of their views a la Dempsey-Carpentier.

THE MOSAIC OF LIFE "You and I are mosaic workers," says Forbes. "Life can be likened to a mosaic. Each particle is small, but whether the whole mosaic is a masterpiece or a hideous monstrosity depends upon whether its builder chose each particle wisely or un wisely." Remedies are also mosaics. If the ingredients were chosen wise ly, the whole is a masterpiece like Triner's Bitter Wine. If the ingre dients were chosen unwisely, the whole is a monstrosity like many imitations of the famous Triner's remedy. The perfection of Triner's Bitter Wine has been achieved after many years of careful studies, in numerable tests and painstaking ex periments. The ingredients (cas eara segrada and other bitter herbs and roots) are not only chosen wise 1, but their quality is also constantly of the highest class. Everybody who surfers from gasses in the intestines, constipation, poor appetite, head aches, etc., may take Triner's Bitter Wine with full confidence. Your druggist or dealer in medicines is well stocked with Triner's remedies. Joseph Triner Compau, 1333-45 S. Ashland Ave.. Chicago. 111. Ed. Ripple pays cash for eggs. tf d&w. EXECUTIVE COUNCIL REPORT IS ACCEPTED Repeats There Can Be No Sympathy With the Russian Soviet System Recommendations Made Denver, Colo., June The trade union movement in America "hi.- successfully defended it s position against the oivcan;? d effort of anti union employers," the eecutive coun cil of the Air-cries? n Fed-ra'ion oi Labor says in its annual report sub mitted today to the federation con vention here. It adds that "the out look is for a continuance of not only successful defense, but steady and consistent progress." A considerable portion of the coun cil's report is devoted to a discussion of America and the Russian Soviets and the council says that "America during the war has fully endorsed the stand of the American Federation cf Laboint the Montreal convention." in resolving that the federation "is not justified in taking any action which could be construed as an as sistance to. or approval of, the soviet government of Russia as long as that government la based upon authority which has not been vested in it by a popular representative national as semblage of the Russian people. The report also says that "as a fac tor in the industrial life of both Canada and tho United States the so-called 'One Big Union has practi cally ceased to exist." The council's report covers a wide range of subjects and includes nearly a score of specific recommendations. Among them are: That the federation takes a "firm stand" for the inauguration of a defi nite policy calling for the total ex clusion from the United States of Japanese and all other Orientals. That the convention call upon the American government "to take the initiative or to co-operate with any other nation or nations for the pur pose of a general agreement for dis armament, both of the army and naval affairs of the world. That in view of "an apparently well-organized and systematic cam paign by the National Association of Manufacturers to conduct a propa ganda in the schools of the country in furtherance of the so-called 'open shop the federation has prepared pamphlets and literature bearing up on the Questions involved for distri bution to the colleges, universities and schools." The report gives the presenlt streneth of tho Federation of Labor at 3.906.528 as against 4,078.740 in 1920, and says that the slight de crease in members is "naturally due to the large numbers of workers un employed." It points to the member ship enrollment as proof that the campaign agains torganized labor has failed, Now is the Time to Get Rid of Your Rheumatism If vou are roubled with chronic or muscular rheumatism buv a hot- tie of Chamberlain's Liniment and massage the affected parts twice a day with it.
