The Communities Welfare!
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 bank's first concern. We are here for the service
of the entire community.
Thanking you for your confidence, co-operation
and earnest work for our community, we invite your
business.

The story Is told us of one of the
prominent citizens of Murdoek, who
not having electrie lights, found it
necessary to light two lamps for use
at the home and living alone he ex
tinguished one and thought thai was
all. After having spent the evening
dawn town, he wended his way home- .
ward, but was apprised by some of
the neighbors that they was a light
in" hi heme, and returning to town
secured assistance and returned home
where "upon unlocking the door ev-j
erything was found to be in good con- ;
dition, not burglary or anytning ot
that sort, when it daw neu upon our t
Murdoek citizen that lie had gone
away and left the light burning.

POLITICIANS NOW HAVE 656,387
VOTES TO CHASE IK THIS STATE
Washington, D. C, Nov. 3. Poli
ticians who pursue the elusive vote
in Nebraska must pursue 686,387 of
them, according to statistics made
public ty the bureau of census to
day. There are ju3t that many citi
zens in the state of voting age.
The women, if they depended upon
themselves and if they had no friends
among the men would go down to
defeat. They have only 327,558 votes
while the men pile up a total of
358.789.
These figures are as of the census
of 1920. They would indicate that
there are a great many Nebraskans
who do not vote on election day, if
compared with the total number of
votes cast at the election last year
which was scharcely more than 300,

ARMISTICE DAY
PROCLAMATION
State Commander Ritchie of Ameri
can Legion Outlines Policy of
Observance of the Day.
As the Fourth of July will always
be associated with waiving flags, fire
works and a general rejoicing because
of the Declaration of Independence;
as Memorial day has been set aside
for the decoration of the graves of
our departed heroes; so Armistice
day should be perpetuated in that
manner which will best preserve the
memories of the events and incidents
of November 11th, 1918.
When the announcement was made
to the Armies of the World which for
years had been struggling in a death
grapple, back and forth over ehell
scarred and barren no-man's land,
the men in all armies thanked God.
And then the realization of what the
Armistice really meant burst upon
their senses the hilarity, revelry
knew no bounds.
The evening of the great day found
the men gathered around the camp
fires, regretful of the partings that
peace would bring, and pledgiag to
preserve forever the comradeship
which only those could know who to
gether had stared into the eyes of
death, the comradeship which knew
no distinction of rank, or race, or
wealth. And ihis same spirit of
praise, thanksgiving and affection
animated the men in training camps
and the civilian populations of all
Allied lands.
Crowning all memories of the first
Armistice day, on this, the third an
niversary of that gTeat event, the
nation does honor to those who gave
their all with no thought of reward
or praise, unselfishly and unknown,
and at the noon hour of November
11th. 1921, the man who served and
sacrificed unknown will be ten
derly laid to rest In the National
shrine at Arlington.
And so the American Legion asks
every community to do honor to this
great anniversary first, by solemn
services of praife and thanksgiving,
which should be held during tbe hour
in which the funeral services of the
unknown soldier are being conducted
at Washington. Then let tb after
noon be set aside for-parades, games,
carnivals and other Incidents of fec
ial rejoicing and as the twilight
hour approaches and tbe darkness of
the night, let all organizations of
t hoc e who were united iu a common
work during the war gather around
their respective campfires. there to
renew the comradeships of tbe war,
thus to perpetuate and preserve for
ever the memories and incidents of
their service, pledging and dedicating
themselves anew to tbe great work
for which their departed comrades
gave their lives.
