The"ioral Bisk"
In considering loans, your
bank is largely influenced by
the moral risk.
Bankers in other towns or cit
ies where you are a compara
tive stranger, will limit your
requirements to your cash
balance.
Sometimes you are entitled to
more than that why not
bank in your home town
where your moral worth is
known and where it will have
weight.
It's worth thinking about, gen

and when he essayed to do so he
found that someone had beat him to
it. They had not only taken the
honey but stripped the place of cop
per, brass and lead, showing it might
have been some of the Jew peddlers
which are scouting over the country
for whatever they can find.

There was an understanding be
tween the firm of Lancaster and Xai
lor of the grocery firm and Mr. C. A.
Trent that they would make a trade
in which Mr. Trent was to take the
business from the above named firm.
The arrangements had been made
when lo and beheld Mr. Trent and
the family were missing from the
sacred haunts which he had been
wont to frequent. People wondered
until two days Jater a letter crime
bearing the postmark of Norfolk
which told of a change of mind of
Mr. Trent an 1 saying goodbye to the
peaceful little city of Murroy for
ever. Evidently he, like the Arab,
quiet'y folded his tents and faded
away in the mists of the morning.

? BIBLE SCHOOL LESSON f
: Sunday, September 21
I -I
By M. S. Brisgs
Will Be Thou Clean
Golden Text "Thou canst make
me clean." Mark 1:40.
Lesson text Mark, chapter 1.
The Master had been preaching at
Capurnum and healing. Xow he was
doing this for a number of reasons.
One was he was demonstrating the
power delegated him from the Fath
er that all might know that in deed
and truth he was the Messiah which
should come into the world. This
power was his credentials and the
testimony that he was the Christ.
Again he did it because he was thus
serving his fellow men. The main
reason was to teach the world to be
good and to teach his disciples to
truly be his disciples after he had
gone. And of them it might be
said :
Avails' it whether bare or shod.
These feet the paths of duty trod.
If from the bowers of ease they
sped.
And sought ofttimes a humble bed.
If fortune's guilty bribe they
spurned
And home to victor's cot returned;
Those feet with Angel's wings
shah vie.
And tread the palace of the sky.
He wished to teach them and the
world through them the better life.
He had had a strenuous day and had
healed many, preaching and teach
ing as wen. But he was up the next !
morning long before day and went
out into a secret place where he
talked with the Father in prayer.
Peter and the rest, when they arose
later, went to seek him for large J
crowds were already assembling, a
great many wishing to be healed, j
while others were curious to see the
manifestation of his power.
When Peter found him he was en
gaged in prayer and he said, ad
dressing the master: "All men seek
thee." But the Master, knowing he '
had much to do, 6aid, "We will go '
to other towns, where I must also .
preach." He went and preached in
the Jewish synagogue of Gallilee, al-'
so healing all kinds of disease. While
thus engaged one of the outcasts of
society, one who had the leprosy,
came to him and falling down before
Him said, "Thou canst make me
clean." Christ 'knew tne kind of a
disease. He knew its nature and
what it did for the unfortunate one
who had it and that his hair came
out, his finger and toe nails would
be eaten off and his nose and ears
would disappear, also that his eyes
would be eaten out, the bones would
protrude from the flesh and finally
with the most loathsome disease of
a living death, the flesh would rot
and drop off and finally death would
ensue. Well has this disease been
taken as a type of sin. for it is sin in
its virulent form. While this dis
ease was incurable, the man with
leprosy had seen the wonders which
the Master had performed and he
exclaims, as he falls at the Master's
feet, "If thou wilt, thou canst make
me clean." We call it cure, but as
leprosy was the effects of sin, it
was the crystalization of sin, and sin
in its manifest form. Jesus observ
ing the faith of this man, assured
him immediately as he reached out
his hand and touched mm with an
assuring pressure, saying, "I will be
thou clean." In this Christ dealt
with sin and ts sinful leprosy and
when he cleansed the disease, he re
moved the cause also for he said, "I
will, be thou clean." .
Xow the new condition, the new
state, the new relation of the man
with the leprosy was one which
caused him much Joy, but the Mas
ter had an admonition for him and
he charged him saying, "Go show
thyself" to the priests and offer the
things which Moses commanded for
a testimonial unto them." There was
a law for cleansing and the Master
required that ths man should ton
form to it. He also said, "See thou
tell no man." This latter the man
failed to do, but published the fact
to the extent that the Master could
not enter the cities for the throng
of people who wished to see hm and
he remained out in the desert places
and the people came unto him from
everywhere.
The joy which was felt over the
healing caused the forgetting of the
admonition of the Master. lie wanted
to tell what the Lord had done for
him.
k MAKERS OF GASS COUNTY
Mrs. Mary Wiley v-
Miss Mary Craig was born in Par
is. 111.. June IS. 1846. where she
lived and attended school until she
was sixteen years of age when with
her parents she came to Xebraska
in I8 60 in the month of September
and three years later was united in
marriage with William W. Wiley,
who had come to Xebraska in 1853
and with eleven other hardy pioneers
made a,, purchase of land of the In
dians extending from the Weeping
Water creek to Bellevue and extend
ing miles west from the river, they
paying each one dollar, making elev
en dollars and one heifer calf. Mr.
Wiley had been married before and
lost his first wife and of the five
children three had died, the ones
now living by the first marriage be
ing Marion Wiley, now living at
Nome. Alaska, and Mrs. A. V. Dills
of Shenandoah, Iowa. Mr. and Mrs.
Wiley nnde their home on the farm
where this excellent lady now lives
rnd hve lived there ever since. They
too1; the place on homestead entry
and aft?r having lived there for a
number of years by a fire which de
rtroyed much cf their effects, the
r-ntent which they had obtained from
the government was burned and
when they went to obtain a second
place they had to go through much
red tape in order to get the title
again and had to dispose of forty
acres of the land for two hundred
dollars to pay the expenses. There
stands on the place and is occupied
by Mrs. Wiley and George Parks and
family a losr house which was erect
ed on the placp early in 1854 and is
in good state of preservation. In
18o4 I. S. White did some braking
for them, the first in the country,
and w-hich is being farmed-at this
time, the writer observing the crop
of corn this year thereon, thinks it
an average of this year.
A sprout grew up after the land
was plowed and made a tree which
remained and is standing at this
time, a giant, but a few years since
a renter of the place raked some
stalks about the base of this giant
and burned them thus killing the
tree and while it stands there it is
dead and bare of bark. Mrs. Wiley
can tell many an interesting story
of the early days in Cass county
when the country was in the mak
ing. The union of Mr. and Mrs. Wi
ley was blessed with fifteen sturdy
Americans of which there are still
thirteen living, making fifteen in all
of both marriaeres. Mr. TVm. TV. Wi
ley died May IS. 1912. The children
who are now living are: Mrs. Eliza
beth Jenkins, Grand Junction, Colo
rado; Mrs. Sarah Smith. Cozad. Xe
braska; TVm. G. Wiley, Payette, Ida
ho; Rosalie Hessar of Los Angeles;
Mrs.' TVm. Timblin of near Alvo;
Mrs. George Wiles of Weeping Wa
ter, Xebrask'a; Algernon Wiley of
Fanning, Kansas; Mrs. Xettie M. El
lington, Plainview; Warren M. Wi
ley. Venango, Xebraska; James C.
Wiley living in the state of Wash
ington; George E. Wiley, Eustis;
and Mrs. Addie Park of Murray.
,Mrs. Wiley when but twenty years
of age, united with the Christian
church in 1S64 and has ever been a
consistent and faithful member of
that church and a worker for the
Master during all the years and
with a firm faith in the varities of
the Christian faith and the ultimate
realization of good in all things. The
homestead which now consists of
122 3-4 acres is the only one held in
Rock Bluffs precinct which there
never was a transfer made, they hav
ing the title direct from the United
States.

SELLEVUE VOCA
TIONAL SCHOOL
WILL BE CLOSED
Dwindling Enrollment Given as the
Reason Students to be Trans
ferred to Other Points,
From Tuesday's Daily
The Bellevue Vocational Training'
school will be closed within the next
thirty or sixty days, according to
Frank A. Darling, of the St. Louis
district office, who is now in Omaha
making arrangements for the trans
fer cf the twenty students to other
schools.
Darling said there were not enough
students to longer warrant keeping
the school open.
The veterans now receiving train
ing at Bellevue will be transferred
either to the Iowa state college at
Ames, Iowa, or Carlton college, at
Farmington, Mo., according to Dar-1
ling. ThOHe who have completed their j
training will be provided witn place
ment training by the bureau. Every
man, Darling said, who is at the
school now, will be provided for.
The Bellevue school was started
by the department of vn -ational
training of the United States Vet
erans' bureau when the government
leased the buildings of Bellevue col
lege May 11, 1921, for five years to
provide training for tubercular and
wounded world war veterans from
Nebraska, Iowa, Missouri and Kan
sas. Accommodations were prepared
immediately after to take care of ap-,
proximately 200 men at the school
and the institution was formally
opened January 16, 1922, when fifty
veterans arrived for vocational train
ing. The number of men in training at
the school later increased to 200.
The curriculum of the school in
cluded instruction in physics, chem
istry, laboratory work, electricity,
mathematics, shop work of all kinds
and athletics.
During the last eighteen months
the enrollment dwindled rapidly and
General Frank T. Ilines, director of
the veterans' bureau, finally ordered
that the school be closed October 31.

they will remain here for the present
at least. Mr. and Mrs. Mutz were,
visiting in the Rio Grande valley,
where Mr. Mutz is interested in land
near llarrlington and while they
were there they made the purchase
of twenty additional acres, which
makes them forty acres of this very
valuable land that they will have
placed in cultivation and in the com
ing season they expect to have the
land divided among the different
market gardening crops, ten acres
in cabbage, ten acres in carrots, ten
acres in beets and the rest of the
land divided between sugar corn,
cane and beans, all of which crops
make very valuable market products
in the north, as the season there per
mits early shipments in the spring.
Xext fall they are planning on hav
ing the land turned into a grape
fruit orchard, which will greatly in
crease the value of the land.
SURPRISE FOR CHOIR DIRECTOR.
The choir of the First Methodist
church gave Mrs. E. II. Weseott, their
efficient director, a lovely surprise
following the regular rehearsal last
evening. The members of the choir
all departed as usuai, but went into
the parlors of the church. As Mrs.
Weseott left the building some one
called her and as she entered the
room the light was snapped on and
there the company greeted her.
Refreshments were served, and as
every one sat around the table remi
niscences of the past twenty-four
years were exchanged together with
some later impressions by newer
members of the choir.
Short and appropriate response
were made by Miss Balser, Mrs. Ro-'
man, Mrs. R. B. Hayes, Jesre Perry,
Miss Pond and Mr. Weseott. Rev.
Pfoutz then read communications
from former pastors, the Revs.
Calvert, nunter, Austin and Drul
iner. Each of these letters wera
brimming with praise and apprecia
tion of the faithful work Mrs. Wes
eott has rendered during these years
she has directed the Methodist choir.
Following the tributes and re
sponses the pastor presented this es
timable lady with a silver sandwich
tray in the name of the choir, aDd
she replied with her usual good hu
mor and happy manner, reminding
one and all that a leader is of little
use without singers.
The occasion was in celebration of
24 years of service, last Sunday
morning marking the exact date of
her faithful service.
