questioned as to the amounts that had
been deposited with the various
banks. The remainder of the morn
ing session was taken up with the
various deposits made to other banks.
At the afternoon session the mat
ter of the deposits of county funds
in excess of bond was taken up and
under the ruling of the state supreme
court the funds might be deposited

and on which the court sustained the
objections ot the state to the ques

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.

In my ramblings, have met so many

which they were not. But. did you
ever see a farmer who pretended to be

filled with red-blooded independent

all wealth, all prosperity, in the

It used to be charged that the
Country Gentleman was a "city man's

iby the entire farming world as the
greatest agricultural paper in Amer

mation given there in which to me
is potent with interest, and import

As the success of every business is
dependent on the success of the agri

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,

This bill is similar to the one that
was introduced in the house of rep
resntatives a few weeks ago by Con

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.

Recover Stolen
Parts of Murray
Movie Machine
Discovered Yesterday Afternoon by
Two Young Ken Hid South
east of Murray.
From Tuesday's Dally
Once more the joys of the cinema
will be known in our neighboring
town of Murray and the movies may
now go on unchecked as the result
of the discovery of the missing parts
of the machine that serves the movie
fans of Murray at the Peterson hall.
Yesterday two sons of Ed Schoe
maker, residing two miles south and
a half mile east of Murray were en
gaged in building a fence and in their
operation had the occasion to tear
out a part of the hedge on the place
and with tbe result that in the
hedge and carefully covered with
weeds they located the missing proj
ector from the . Murray moving pic
ture machine.
As soon as the discovery 'was made
one of the young men remained on
guard while his brother hastened to
a telephone and informed Sheriff
Reed of the find and who hastened to
the scene of action and recovered
the parts and restored them to the
owners at Murray and who needless
to say were very much pleased at
the recovery of the projector.
Who took the projector will prob
ably remain a mystery as there was
no clue as to the parties aside from
the first suspicion and now that the
parts are restored the matter will
probably remain a closed chapter.
