Wien a wise man makes a mis
take, he learns something!
Pay by check and you'll make
no mistake.
"Haven't the Change" - You've
heard that expression many
times, of course.
Carrying an account at a good
bank and paying by check en
ables you to always have the
"exact change."
It removes the temptation to
SPEND, too, in many ways.
And every check is automati
cally a receipt.
Don't carry cash- it's danger

years of age. during the past summer

by Mr. Young, who also looked after
other routine work about the place,
caring for a large number of hogs
and other stock.
We think this a very good season's
work for Mr. Young and believe he
is more than entitled to give up farm
work, as he expects to do. His son,
Ben Noell will farm the place during
the coming year.

Last evening was held the second
public installation of Cass Chapter,
Order of DeMolay, and the ceremo-
fleers being invested with their of
i fices were very interesting and im
pressive to the audience of the par
ents and friends of the young men.
The work of this boys' and young
men's fraternity has not been fully
realized by the general public in its
excellent effect on the young men
of the community and the opportun
ity of realizing a little of the good
work of the order was fully appreci
ated by the general public of the
city.
At the installation last evening
James Warren, master councilor, of
ficiated as the installing officer as
sisted by Carl P. Ofe as marshal.
The officers installed were:
Master Councilor William F.
Matschullat.
Senior Councilor Jack McCarty.
Junior Councilor Elmer Johnson.
Senior Deacon Glen Henry.
Junior Deacon Fred Trilety.
Senior Steward Walter Tritsch.
Junior Steward Vern Hendricks.
Sentinel Carl Graves.
Chaplain Glen Kruger.

The new-master councilor has been
one of the very r.ctive members of
the order almott from the date of its
establishment and should prove a
very able executive in guiding the
chapter. The members of the Ma
sonic advisory board assist in the
work of the chapter management
and Raymond C. Cook is the advisor
of the chapter at tihs time.

Accdent While Hunting; May Result
in George Harkins Losing All
of Finders of Hand.
From Monday's Dai.y
Yesterday about 12:30 while Geo.
Harkins, aged 2S. i.TJ. Missouri ave
nue, Omaha, with two companions,
was out hunting south o this city,
the young man net with an accident
that may result in the loss of all tl.o i
fingers of the right hand and deprive
him of the full use of the arm. 1
' The party had made the U"P from
South Omaha in a car and while they
were successful in bagging a number
of rabbits they decided to seek other
localities and loading in the car
started out for mere plentiful fields
and as they made another stop to
hunt Harkins started to pull his gun
from the car, grasping it by the muz-
zle and in pulling the gun the trig- ;
ger caught on some object in the car
and the contents of the gun were dis
charged at the young man. The
right thumb v.as completely shot ofF
and the first finger left just hanging
by a few torn pieces of flesh and the
remainder of the hand badly injured.
The companions of the injured man
hurried him on into Plattsmouth and
the victim of the shooting taken to
the office of Dr. P. J. Flynn where it !
was found necessary to amputate the
first finger which was so badly in
jured and the other remaining three
fingers were in very bad shape, so
much that it is feared that it may be,
necessary to have them taken off lat- '
er. A part of the shot had aLso lodg
ed in the scalp of Mr. Harkins which
will be taken out at the hospital. Af-!
ter dressing the wounds here the in- i
jured man was hurried on to the
South Omaha hospital where he will
be given further treatment and cared
for. The severeness of the accident
makes it a matter of the gravest
doubt as to the saving of the hand in
the opinion of the physicians, or the
ngers at least. j
The injured man is a son of Albert
i Harkins. formerly a resident of this
city and was born here where his
