Mrs. E. A. Landon was a visitor
with friends as well as doing some
j-Lopping in Lincoln last Wednesday,
drivjng over to the bigcity in their
tar.
Klmer E. Iiuck. of Ashland, was a
vi.-itor in Greenwood for a short time
last Wednesday, while on his way to
Lincoln, where he was called to look
after some business matters.
Theo. Cannes received a new
Chevrolet truck which he has now
on the floor, and was fortunate in
securing the same as they are now
being grabbed quickly, as many are
in demand.
Fied Wolfe, the painter and de
corator and by the way he is an
artist in his line, was a visitor in
Plattsmouth late last week, where
he went to secure a license for his
auto for the coming year.
P. A. Sanborn was a visitor in
Omaha for the day on last Wednes
day, where he went to look after
some business matters in connection
with the garage and implement line
which he carries in Greenwood.
George Trunkenbolz, the city mar
shal of the hustling city of Green

days last week, going out to assist in
th' conduct of a sale which was be
ing given by a brother, who has
b'-n farming in the southwest.
The Greenwood Cribbage club held
a session on last Wednesday evening
at the parlors of the Odd Fellows
hall, but as there were many en
gaged, it was difficult to make a con
servative estimate of the winnings.
We may be able to the coming week.
The farmers anticipating the needs
of spring, have been bringing In
their plow layes and also cultivator
shovels for the coming farming sea
son, thus getting out from under
the rush of spring work which always
nearly congests the blacksmith in the
spring time.
Rex Peters, of the Peters Grain
company, one of the very good busi
ness concerns of the west and of the
county, slipped on an icy spot and
sprained one of his ankles, which has
materially interfered with his work.
He has had to have the assistance of
two men for the elevator and coal
work.
recent initiation of Greenwood post,
that invitation has been extended to
Greenwood Legionnaires to go to the
cunty seat Thursday night of this
week and put on the "second" degree
for a class of some ten new member:;

Greenwood, Nebr.
January 15, 1929.
Nebraska has many things to be
proud of, one of which is our na
tional and state banking systems.
True that we like other states have
had some bankers who have broken
a sacred trust ana nave noi Kept
honesty of purpose as the becon of
their calling others who through in
experience or unwise advancement
of credit have caused their banks to
be closed, yet Nebraska is today in
a better financial condition than
most of our sister states in the agri
cultural area.
One of our leading financiers of
international fame, J. P. Morgan,
when asked upon what commercial
credits are based, answered, "char
acter, character before money, prop
erty or anything else, money cannot
buy it. Character creates confidence.
Confidence is a requisite of borrower,
depositor and banker.
We as bankers have implicit confi
dence in mankind. If we didn't have,
our various communities would, in
deed suffer. Our purpose is to build
up, to help the deserving, to serve
humanity and to make Nebraska the
best place in the world to live.
There has been considerable dis
cussion and agitation relative to the
guaranty law of Nebraska. Every
state in the union has watched with
keen interest the operation of this
law. Every state in the union is to
day focused upon the ultimate action
of our legislature and in its deci
sion to adjust our banking laws to
meet the changed conditions that
have followed the greatest war in all
history.
This law was enacted by the legis
lature with the idea of stabilizing
credit. Whether it has served its pur
pose, and is a ju6t law, or if it needs
amending and reguilding, is a mat
ter that should receive the serious
attention of our legislature alter a
careful investigation of its operation
since becoming a law.
The bankers of Nebraska have un
limited confidence in the men and
women whom the people of Nebraska
have placed in our public offices and
the legislature. We stand ready to
assist and expect only the same con
sideration that could be given to any
other business or profession of like
responsibility.
Without just legislation there is
no law that can long endure.
The Nebraska Bankers Association,
representing both national and state
banks, assumes an attitude of help
fulneses and cooperation towards
banking legislation which will re
ceive the attention of the legislature
at this session. The association
