Beginning Another Year!
The problems which has confronted us the year
which has just gone into history, were solved and wiped
off the slate, or they are still awaiting our solution.
The local bank is ever on the alert, watching for
whatever may appear over the horizon of the commer
cial life of its community, that will assist in the better
business for all those who are associated to make the
town the best, and also for those things which have a
tendency to impair the business stability of the com
munity. We are here to assist in the solution of the
problems which trouble you. Do not hesitate to ask
for what we can do for you in the solving of the knotty
conditions which present themselves.
It is our mission and desire to do all we can for
this community and all its citizens. We are , .

Murdock and the Foot Ball
There has been a considerable in
terest manifested in foot ball in the
light of the fact that the Girls' tea'm
of the Murdock schools have made
such a wonderful record thus far in
the season. Lact week there were a
number of games played in which the
young'ladies as usual were the vic
tors. We are not at liberty at this
time to credit the young men with
the same degree of success as the
young ladies.
Notwithstanding this, in a game at
As-bland last week our boys were the
winners by a tally of 31 to 23. At
a game which was played at Weep
ing Water last Friday, the Murdock
girls won over the girls from Weep
ing Water by a score of 12 to 4. The
boys however lost at the same time
by a score of 2 to 29. Saturday even
ing at Eagle the girls of Murdock
won and the boys lost. There is to
be a game between Murdock and the
Waverly boys on Thursday cf this
week, at Murdock.

is desired.

A HAPPY EVENT
From Satirtay'p Daily.
This afternoon Frank Ashe&bren-
ner was a passenger for the metrop
olis and he 'bore on his countenance
a smile whose broadness was unus
ual and on inquiry we learned that
the occasion was the fact that Frank,
Jr., a fine nine pound hoy, had made
his appearance to gladden the Ash
enhrenner household. The mother
and little one are doing nicely and
are now at the homo of a sister of
Mr. Asheubrenner iu Omaha.

NEW PARTY HEADS
SEEK NORTON FOR
GOVERNORSHIP
Want Polk County Faimer to Enter
as Democrat With Progress- j
ive Backing cf State.
i
Lincoln, Feb. 3. An effort to in-'
duce J. N. Norton, prominent Polk
county farmer and president of the
Nebraska Farm Bureau Federation,
to t'.iie on the democratic primary
ticket as candidate for governor, and
accept indorsement cf the new pro
gressive party, was being made late
today by seme of the progressive
leaders. I
"There might bo some truth in
that report," said J. A. Edminston,
chairman of the progressive state
committee. He indicated that com
mittee memlbers were officially cog-,
nizant of such a move.
Another rumor, which had been
given publication, that the commit
tee had indorsed R. B. Howell, Om
aha, republican candidate for Unit
ed States senator, was declared by
the chairman to be incorrect. The
committee has not acted on any mat
ter of that sort, he said.
These leaders who are talking
Norton propose a slate with Judge
Arthur Wray of York for the United
States senate and Norton on the dem
ocratic ticket with progressive in
dorsement.
Tlrose who are active in slate mak
ing said tonight that the group, act
ing independently of the state com
mittee, had made overtures to Nor
ton that he enter the progressive
party, but he refused to leave the
democratic party.
A tentative slate was then made
cut wi.th Judge Wray for governor
and R. B. Howell for indorsement
for United States senator. Then the
group proposed on alternative to
Norton, of the other party, to eecept
the progressive indorsement for gov
ernor in which event, it was ex-'
plair.ed the new pitrty would sup-'
port Wray for the senate and would
eliminate the Howell Indorsement.
