the state and federal officials to be a

provisional upon a compliance on the
'part of those bringing cattle into the

tested for tuberculosis, unless exempt

!The purpose of the regulations gov

the established or breeding herds

in through diseased cattle.
Cass county was initially estab
lished a testing area by order of the
Nebraska Department of Agriculture,
effective April 20. 1925. All herds
were tested during 1925", comprising
2,134 herds containing 24,685 cattle,
and 210 cattle (.85. per cent of all
cattle tested) were classified to be
reactors as result of such testing. Re-
tests were Immediately applied on
the cattle of the herds exposed as
result of having contained reactors,
and with the low percentage of infec

credited area, November 1, 1925.

Almost every banking house In the country is
advertising "Service." It is necessary, then, to
select the one best suited to your particular needs.
The first test should be, "Is the bank forging
ahead?" When this is answered, determine if
the kink has well qualified officers in charge, and
if the directors are men who can successfully
manage their own affairs. Good officers and di
rectors are very important factors in the making
of a first class bank.
We believe you can answer these questions to
the credit of this institution. Then it is right and

The graveling program that is
making Cass county one of the best
in the state In point of graveled
roads, owes a great deal to itie group
of men that have been serving on
the good roads committee of the
Chamber of Commerce, composed of
Searl S. Davis, John P. Sattler,
Oeorge Petring. John E. Turner and
Leslie Niel, who have for the past
two years carried on the agitation
for a county gravel program and in
which they have had the support of
the residents of all sections of the
county.
The board of county commission
ers have also been right In the fore
front of the good roads movement anu
their action in matching dollars with
the precincts and communities has
permitted a large section of roadway
in all parts of the county to become
surfaced or will be in the coming
summer season. Without this it
would have been impossible" to have
accomplished the good that has been
carried out and the commissioners
have a real vote of thanks coming
from the citizens over the county for
their getting back of the program.
The local committee and especially
the chairman. Mr. Davis, has worked
long and hard on the road program
and the development of their plans
have included the county wide exten
sion of the gravel. The ascertaining
of the costs, the manner of handling
and making it more easy for local
organizations over the county to get
on the job and securing the needed
improvement.
The last big effort of this live wire
committee was the securing of the

.Bridge Battered
Out Last Night
One Bent of Wagon Bridge on North
Side Swept Out and 5tissouri
Pacific Bridge Damaged i
From Saturday's Dally
Great masses of heavy ice. massed
west of the wagon bridge at Louis
ville last evening moved down on the
structure and despite the dynamiting
of ice and the desperate batlle to
save the structure a little over one
bent of the bridge on the north side
of the river was swept ont by the
ice.
The ice at Louisville is rangins
from thirty-six to forty inches and
great masses of this ice park is fill
ing the. river and beating on the
bridges there and may do evei;
further damage before the pack
moves on down the stream to the
mouth of the Plane norln of this
city. !i
The Ice gorge also damaged -the
Missouri Pacific railroad bridge to
some extent and the structure was
out of line several inches and offi
cials of the railroad fearing the safe
ty of the bridge closed the structure
to travel anil a freight train that
was starting across the bridge was
backed off the structure and all night
laborers worked on the bridge to
bring it back into alignment. The
bridge was repaired so that passen
ger trains were able to operate over
the bridge this morning as usual
and it is hoped that the bridge will
not suffer any further damage as
the result of the ice masses forcing
their weight down onto the bridge.
The taking out of the wagon
bridge was not unexpected as the
structure is an old type of wooden
bridge and has suffered at severni
different times from the ice and as
the ice pucks are much heavier this
year there was little hop of the
saving of the structure when the i.e
started moving out.
The river i opening on the north
side only, advices from LouisviPe
state and the ice on the south side
has not commenced to move out.
The river ice masses of such heavy
thicknesses may offer n problem at
this point when reaching here and a
gorge at the mouth of the river may
be expected as the Missouri has not
as yet opened up and the great mass
of ice from the Platte may form a
barrier at the river mouth that will
necessitate a great deal of work to
prevent serious damage from high
water backed up behind tnebarrier
of the gorge.
The situation here is being
watched and a channel is kept open

J- Mr. Davis was returning home

he signaled twice, and tried to slow
