The banking business is one of more than ordi
nary interest to the community in which the institution
is located.
To make the work of the bank most effective,
there must be a confidence between the bank of its
patrons, and between in fact the whole community..
Any fear of a financial institution is immediately
reflected in the business of the whole community.
The bank which has proven its worth to the com
munity is the one which has stood the test of good and
adverse times and stands ever ready for the service of
the whole community.
The patrons" interest and the community good is

The Hallowe'en season with its nu
merous social gatherings brings to
the host or hostess the problem of
the proper decorations or novelties
for favors on this popular and mys
tical holiday season. The Journal
has solved the problem of the dec
orative features of the occasion by
securing one of the finest lines of
Hallowe'en novelties and decorations
that was ever brought to this city.
This line is composed largely of im
ported goods from the German nov
elty market and is such that will
please everyone in the way of artis
tic as well as unique decorations and
favors. When you desire anything
in the Hallowe'en line call at the
Journal office and look over the
large and splendid line. tf-daw

ATTORNEY GENERAL
AFTER SLICKERS
Davis Writes Presiding Judge He
Will Ask District Court For
Blue Sky Investigation
Lincoln, Neb., Oct. 13. Attorney
General Clarence A. Davis announc
ed today that he would call on the
judges of the district court of Lan
caster county to summon a grand
jury to look into fraudelent stock
sales and promotion schemes. In a
letter to County Attorney Charles E.
Matson he said that the "satisfac
tory experience which I have had
with the grand jury procedure in
Douglas county and the excellent re
sults which I feel will be attained
thereby," had impelled him to ask
the judges for an investigation.
His action follows a letter from
the county attorney last Saturday
in which the county attorney, point
ingout the cost of grand jury in
vestigations to the taxpayers, asks
the attorney general to pay half the
expenses from a special state fund
and furnish a special prosecutor. The
attorney general's reply was that he
himself would assume full responsi
bility for the grand jury Investiga
tion but that he was unable to furn
ish funds for that purpose.
Attorney General's Letter.
This Is the letter Attorney Gen
eral Clarence A. Davis addressed to
day to E. J. Clements, presiding
judge of the district court of Lan
caste county:
"My dear 6ir, I am addressing you
as presiding judge of the third ju
dicial district.
"Subsequent to the adjournment
of the recent grand jury impanelled
in the district court of Douglas
county, there has been a great deal
of agitation for the impanelling of
a similiar grand jury in Lancaster
county. In the relatively brief exam
ination of recent developments in
this county, which I have been able
to make in the last week and the
rumors which have been persistent
for several weeks past . concerning
irregularities in the conducting of
the affairs of certain corporations
in Lancaster county, I am convinced
there is sufficient material in this
county to justify the Impanelling of
a grand Jury.
"I have reason to believe that the
affairs of many corporations have
been most grossly mismanaged by
the officers and directors thereof and
that large numbers of unsuspecting
Investors have been led Into enter
prises of a nature which Is at least
questionable."

It has been said that "a half hitch .would hold any

That has nothing on a halter which Mr. A. J. Tool is
making from the best of leather and which will hold
the "Old Harry" himself, and they sell only for one
"buck" at the shop or $1.25 elsewhere. Come in and
