They Looked Suspicions
Last Friday when we arrived in
Nehawka for our weekly visit- we
found the people of this staid town
on the "que vive" following a re
port that a carload of suspicious
character and armed were hovering
along the Pollard orchards on O
street and as Union had reported the
matter and the Merrrt restaurant
had been robbed the night before
and a bank in Omaha, all were ap
prehensive. Everybody was on the
alert, and the other town had been
notified. It was not the intention
that any robbery should be pulled off
and we can say if they were as val
iant in preventing a bank or store
robbery as they were In keeping the
icannon which reposes in the park
just east of the bank, there would
be nothing doing in the robbery bus
iness. Had a Pleasant Time
The American Legion last Friday
evening had a social dance at the

able evening was spent.

had been placed there when the oth
er bridge wa3 built in April, 1912.
and has lasted 10 years. The bridge
was ruilt by Frank Rouse, Aaron
Wright, Will Coleman and Glen
Rouse as they had written their
names on a slip of paper and placed
it in a bottle.

SEND TO FARMERS
Elmwood Banker Says War Finance
Corporation Has Strengthened
the Small Bank.
Omaha, Dec. 30. "The war fi
nance corporation is a podsend to
many farmers who, otherv.iso would
have to be sold out or s-hip their
products at a ruinous sacrifice in
order to meet their debts," said John
P. Cobb, one of the most eonserva
tive country banners 01 me state, on
a visit to Omaha. Mr. Cobb is presi-
dent of the American Exchange of
Elmwood.
The war finance corporation, he
declared, has also strengthened many
small banks that made the mistake
of lending to freely that now they
either have to collect on agricultur
al paper or get funds thru the gov
ernment. "While I am not in sympathy with
issuing tax free securities,"' Mr. Cobb
said, "the present emergency is one
that can best be met by The war fi
nance loans. I believe that more di
versified farming should be encour
aged. We probably will see more
grass and less corn. Loans for en
couraging the use of th cow, the
pig and the chicken will uo a great
deal of good."
More than one-third of the banks
in Nebraska have now irade loans
thru the war finance corporation, ac
cording to F. W. Thoma. regional
chairman of the organization. Ad
vances paid to country banks yester
day totaled $427,000. In some dis
tricts bankers have not yet made use
of their rediscounting privileges, but
manj' new applications .are coming
in each day.
Worth Considering
The question is not so much how
you contract a cold, but how to get
rid of it with the least loss of time
and inconvenience. If you will con
sider the experience of others under
similar circumstances, who have been
most successful in checking their
colds, in their beginning, you will se
cure a bottle of Chamberlain's Cough
Remedy without delay and use it
faithfully. There are many families
who have used this preparation fuc
cessfully for years and hold it in high
esteem. It is excellent. Weyrich &
