The remainder of the morn ing session was taken up with the various deposits made to other banks.

The defense in the closing argu ment held that the statue provides no crime for any bank to accept de posits in excess of the bond and that the responsibility for such acts was laid on the county treasurer and that the law permitted the banks to so ac cept funds. The state contended that the pen alty clause of the statute was1 suffi cient and that the matter of the con stitutionally of the law had not been passed upon as the amendment of the 1925 session laws had been passed Found Missing at Blotzer Garage 2Jew car an Also Spare Tire From na-npr nf the earaie to taKe lae. . . . . . . , , money that he naa on nana ana cnecK it u and take it witn him, but which Mr- Blotzer had not done.

It used to be charged that the Country Gentleman was a "city man's farm paper." Today it is recognized iby the entire farming world as the greatest agricultural paper in Amer ica. Looking over this paper for Feb ruary picked up much of the infor mation given there in which to me is potent with interest, and import ance.

As the success of every business is dependent on the success of the agri cultural interests, it will be no trouble to have all your local Cham ber of Commerce organizations co operate with you. In this, great good could be accomplished if you farmers would enroll with your local Chamber of Commerce generously, as that organization then could accom plish more and it stands as squarely ibehind the agricultural interests as the mercantile. Had you farmers enrolled with your local Chamber of Commerce all over this country the past ten years, you would have created by this time a powerful organization to fight for your interests for It would have the merchants fighting for you as well. It isn't too late to take hold now, and be prepared to put up the scrap piest fight in the world for legislation to assist the farmer in the greatest problem of the day the spread of the corn borer.

Plattsmouth Bridge Bill in U. S. Senate Senator R B. Howell Introduces 8 Measure Similar to One Proposed by Congressman Morehead.

This bill is similar to the one that was introduced in the house of rep resntatives a few weeks ago by Con gressman John H. Morehead in the interest of the erection of a bridge structure here which has been great ly needed by the residents of this section of the state and which is one of the structure proposed in the pro gram of the Nebraska bridge pro gram. The congressman and senator have given the start to the ball that will boost the bridge . proposition and which should have the earnest sup port of every resident of the central portion of the state for a bridge here as well as tbe other points over the state where they are so much need ed. Every community that has been made a part of the bridge program have real need of the bridges and none more so than Plattsmouth and the south central part of the state of Nebraska. From Iowa and Nebraska alike comes the strong sentiment of sup port for the bridge program and the towns and territory that are tribu tory to this portion of Nebraska and Iowa are strong in their sentimentF for the reetion of a bridge structure at Plattsmouth that will save rt he residents of the adjacent territory and the public necessity of long de tours and miles of travel to reach their destination.
