Making Business Safe!
Every yar some firms who have ventured upon
the stormy sea of commercial life found hidden reefs
of rock which wreck their ship and leave their business
a dreary waste. They have failed to study the situation
and have venteured upon propositions which involved
considerable investment, without first knowing if the
things were safe. fj.
Better know that your proposition is "water tight"
before you risk your all on it.
The banking house that is conservative and looks
after the welfare of the community is the safest insti
tution to obtain the knowledge necessary to make you
safe when needed.
The Bank of Murdock, which has done business
in this community for the past thirty-five years is. the
best place to get the knowledge and service required
in a safe commercial enterprise. Always at your service.

vance in the price of grain and the
completion of the picking of the
crop. It looks like there should be
a revival in business as there is need
of the goods and the fact that the
money has been a little hard to get
has been the only thing which has
deterred purchases.

Science class of the Murdock schools

house. They are making some ex
cellent dishes and rme which is ap
preciated by the young people Is the

on the fact that she was able to
raise a large flock of chickens, and
that with the best facilities for the
sowing of the poultry she made a
most admirable success. One day last
week some marauder came to, the
home with a truck and with coops
as many as could be carried, carted
away two hundred and fifty of her
! flock. This almost. depleted the fine
stock which had been grown at the
Wendt home.
PREMIER MAY GOME

Lloyd George Not Satisfied With
Conference Disappointed at
Briand's Proposals.
London, Not. 24. Premier Lloyd
George may sail for America on De
cember 3 to attend the Washington
disarmament conference, it was
learned today. His departure, how
ever, is still somewhat dependent on
the outcome of the present Irish
peace difficulties, it was said. j

ted tentative reservations had been
made for the premier to sail on the
Aquitania on that date.

vere, as the number amounted to

Gather Much Corn
During this fall Gus Wendt and
two of his sons, Herman and Au
gust, were able to gather some two
hundred acres of corn, which In
the aggregate made something over
9,000 bushel and away up towards
10.000. The job looked long and
loomed big in their eyes, but by daily!
rustling the job has been completed.
Mr. Wendt says . he would liked to
have had some assistance, but it
could not be gotten.
They Are All Smiling
Good morning Jimniie Mills, how
are you feeling this line day? Pretty
well thank you, this isfa fine ay. Oh
yes, but why this very pleasant
smile, you seem not able to keep your
face straight? Well, you should see
Grandfather George Mills, be is smil
ing more than I am. And it is a
boy, all doing nicely. The fond moth
er is also happy over the little son.
London, Nov. 24. England is ex
tremely disappointed that Premier
Briand has not seen fit to substan
tially reduce the land armament of
France, the London Chronicle Pre
mier Lloyd George's organ un
doubtedly expressing the highest Bri
tish opinion, declared today.
"Even considering France's" bitter
memories of German invasion her
armies are no more to her than our
navy is to us," the Chronicle stated
in a bitter arraignment of Briand's
platform.
"We followed America's lead. In
deed we even hoped to tetter it. But
: France has refused to give or follow
in military arms limitation. Instead
' she has confused the issues and start
! ed awkward cross currents in the
area of peace.
"We remain loyal to our naval
proposals but the nature of the de
mands makes the burden more diffi
cult for us to bear unsupported.
"As America's hopes as well as
our own are jeopardized we must
point out that Briand's palicy is ne
cessarily a bar to the realization of
a general limitation of armaments,
which Briand hoped and still hopes,
that Washington will achieve."
Three Lines of Cars!
( We have three excellent lines of cars to choose
from and each a leader in its class. The Buick, which
cannot be beaten anywhere and no line barred.
The Dodge Brothers also one of the most reliable
and sturdy cars in the market.
The Ford, you all know its Stirling work and dur
ability. See us for these cars, and also remember we are
prepared to look after your repairing, no matter what
the line or make of cars we are equipped for the job.

Briand is Pleased
Washington, Nov. 24. "The
Washington conference has done
much for France. I am a happy man."
With these words. Premier Briand

well of the limitation of arms con-;
ferer.ee. Accompanied by members of

age." "I leave Washington, despite my
regret that I must go. the happiest
of men," Briand said. "Thanks to

FATTY WANTS TO
TESTIFY IN TRIAL
Eefense Counsel Has Not Decided if
Such Action by Film Comed
ian is Advisable.
San Francisco. Nov. 24. Roscce
C. (Fatty) Arbuckle wishes to testify
in his own behalf on his trial for
manslaughter resulting from the
dath of Miss Virginia Rappe, Gavin
McNab, his chief counsel, said today.
It has not been decided, however,
whether his counsel will permit him
to do so.
Today beinga holiday, no session
of the court was held. When the
trial is resumed tomorrow, Alice
Lake, motion picture actress, and
roveral others are expected to be
here from Los Angeles to testify for
the defense, i their testimony is de
sired. '
The defense expects to introduce
testimony of more physicians in its
attempt to refute the assertions of
the prosecution that Miss Rappe was
injured fatally by force applied by
Arbuckle. The defense has con
tended that the bladder of Miss
Rappe, which an autopsy disclosed
had been ruptured, causing death,
was weakened by disease. A com
mittee of three physicians appointed
by the court is expected soon to ren
der its opinion concerning thi3.
It is believed the case will be sent
to the jury next week.
Eugene Meyer Says State on Prefer

By War Finance Board.
, -"
Washington. Nov. 24. House
members of the Nebraska delegation
had a conference with Eugene Meyer,
Jr., chairman of the War Finance
corporation, to urge upon the board
the great importance of expediting
the granting of loans to Nebraska
banks. Several of the delegations'
shotr statements as to conditions in
Nebraska and the urgent need of re
lief. Mr. Meyer, who was in Nebraska
a short time ago on a tour of obser
vation, said that the state had been
put on the preferred list for the
granting of future loans, that the
war finance board appreciated the
conditions in the state and would do
everything possible to help the far
mers and stock raisers.
Mr. Meyer stated that there was
plenty of funds on hand and that all
applications received by the board
would have immediate consideration.
He said the board had been delayed
in making lozns to Nebraska banks
because of certain provisions of the
state law. but recently the atorney
general of the state wrote an opin
ion for the board, placing an inter
pretation on the statutes which will
permit the board to give the same
consideration to Nebraska as has
been given to many other states.
The members' of the delegation
came away from the conference feel

Commission's Inquiry May Deter
mine if Wages Come Down
First Reads Disobey.
Washington, Nov. 24. Investiga
tion by .the interstate commerce com
mission oirits own behalf of the rea
sonableness of the present level of
national transportation rates, an
nounced last night, is the latest and
rrhaps most madatory of a series
of government actions, all of which
have been directed towards forcing
down railroad charges.
While the railroad spokesmen, in
official pleadings filed with the com
mission, appear to have accepted the
general dictum that transportation
rates mugt be reduced, the commis
sicn's decisions and the railroad pro
posals are considerably at variance.
The commission has ordered that a
flat cut of approximately 16 per
tent on western hay and grain rates,
which the railroads have delayed
putting into effect, and which they
have sought to compromise by offer
ing to install a general decrease of
10 per cent on agricultural product.
All of the present difference be
tween the roads and the commission
center around this question shall
rates go down first, or wages? Con
ferences between the road executives
and the commission so far have fail
ed to compromise the difficulty, and
