BANKS OF NEBRASKA.
Eight Millions Less After the Autumn
Drain.
The reports of the state banks of
Nebraska at the close of business No
vember 30 have been compiled by Sec
retary Royse of the state banking
board, showing a total deposit of $73,
283,626.75. This is a decrease of only
$8,000,000 from the high water mark
reached in August.
Of the report Mr. Royse said:
“Although the demand upon the
banks for money has been unusually
active during the last two months,
caused largely by the impassable con
dition of the country roads, making it
almost impossible for the farmers to
market produce of any kind, and the
increase of loans over four and one
half millions of dollars since the re
port of August 31, last, the banks are
running strong, carrying an average
reserve of over twenty-six per cent,
being almost double the amount re
quired by law.
“The deposits amount to over sev
enty-three and one-quarter millions of
dollars, being only about one and one
half million dollars less than the
amount reported August 31, 1909,
which was the high water mark in the
history of this state. This is an un
usually light decrease in deposits for
this season of the year.
“Compared with one year ago the
number of banks has increased thirty
four, deposits have increased nearly
eight millions of dollars, and loans
and discounts have increased $10,300,
000.00.
“The banks show a very strong and
healthy condition generally and there
has been no bank failures in Nebraska
this year, and only one since Novem
ber, 1904.”
Following is the abstract of the
condition of the incorporated, private
and savings banks of the state of Ne
braska at the close of business Novem
ber 16, 1909. Number of banks report
ing, 662. Average reserve twenty-six
and one-half per cent:

Death of Mrs. Barton.
Mrs. S. R. Barton, wife of the state
auditor, died at her home in Lincoln.
She had been confined To her bed but
a short time and death came with a
suddenness that found the family en
tirely unprepared. The remains were
taken to Aurora, her former home, for
Interment. Mrs. Barton had not en
joyed good health for several years,
but her troubles were not considered
dangerous. A complication of long
standing ailment in virulent form re
sulted in her final illness and death.
Thanks to the Guard.
Adjutant General Hartigan has Is
sued a statement thanking the mem
bers of the National Guard on behalf
of the governor and himself for ef
forts put forth to improve the service.
For Oil and Gas.
The Producers’ Consolidated Oil
company of Lincoln has filed articles
of incorporation with the secretary of
state. The company proposes to drill
for oil and gas and reserves the right
to conduct light and gas plants, carry
passengers and freight and do many
other things on an authorized capital
stock of $500,000.
Exhibit Conies to Lincoln.
The government good roads exhibit,
which attracted considerable attention
during the national good roads con
vention at Topeka, will be transferred
to Lincoln to be used during the state
convention during the week of Janu
ary 17. Representative Maguire went
to the agricultural department and re
quested Secretary Wilson to send the
exhibit to his home city. The secre
tary promptly sent telegraphic orders
in compliance with Mr. Maguire’s re
quest.
Work of Normal Board.
Luther P. Ludden has issued a
statement to the towns which want
the' new normal school in the north
west, asking them to have definite
propositions ready for the committee
when they arrive.
Thompson Not Candidate.
Attorney General Thompson said he
was not a candidate for district at
torney of the federal court at Omaha,
had not been and would not be, and
had so informed Senator Brown.
Body Taken to {Aurora.
Funeral services were held over the
remains of Mrs. S. R. Barton, de
ceased wife of Auditor Barton, at the
family residence. The remains were
taken to Aurora for interment.
Governor Holds Back.
“I have not yet decided what to do
about calling the legislature together
in special session," said Governor Shal
lenberger. “I am still considering the
matter.” It is the belief of many who
have talked to the governor that the
proposed income tax amendment will
be bitterly fought whenever it is
brought before the legislature. While
he is saying little, the governor gives
out the impression that he personally
pees no reason for the extra session at
this time, and it is probable that none
will be called.
Profit in Hogs.
A Lancaster county farmer during
the past week sold May pigs that: aver
aged a shade less than 200 i>ounds
each for $7.75, each netting him about
$15. He declares these hogs cost him
pot to exceed five or six bushels of
corn apiece, aside from the alfalfa
feed. They were brought up on al
falfa until near the marketing period.
Now he is wondering why more people
do not raise hogs and why, with the
cholera( serum so near/y perfected,
that more people do nek get rich at
the business.
For Little Curly Locks
Bobbing curls, dancing on the head
of childhood, arranged or disarranged,
appeal with an unending charm. It is
only lately that the most gifted hair
dressers have revealed to us all the
fascination of Curly Locks, as quaint
ly arranged for the little festival oc
casions of children.
As in many late coiffures for grown
ups, the hair is cut in a light, grace
ful fringe across the forehead, writes
Julia Bottomley In The Illustrated
Milliner. For the little girl the re
mainder of the hair is "frizzed” in the
quaint old-fashioned way, half Its
length. This is accomplished with
curling irons or by dampening the
hair and braiding it in several tight
braids half its length, and allowing it
to dry. The crimping necessary may
be very satisfactorily done on crimp
ing pins, but they are not always com
fortable.
This pretty coiffure is lovely even
without the addition of pretty furbe
lows. But the placing of the ribbon
band and buoyant bow as shown in
I the picture is an immensely attractive
finish and takes the coiffure out of
the simply childish class into the high
art rank. The folded ribbon holds
two short curls to the front and in
every way adds brilliance to the de
sign.
For an older girl, and for grown
I nps (on the dressiest of occasions),
the second coiffure is presented.
This coiffure is an arrangement cf
curls pinned down to the head, in fact
a mass of puffs with one end free. The
hair is cut in a light fringe across the
forehead and slightly curled. A por
tion is parted off and tied at the
crown of the head, where it. is twisted
into a knot and pinned dowm to sup
port the curls. The remainder of the
hair is parted off in sections and ap
parently tied near the head. Each sep
arate mass is then again parted into
strands and curled. The mass of big,
short culrs only needs then to be ar
ranged becomingly. They are placed
with careful attention to apparent
careless irregularity all over the back
of the head. Little clusters of “cork
screw” curls are grouped at each side,
where they appear to be held in place
by a little jeweled ornament set with
pearls. Two strands of pearls strung
on wire extend across the head to the
other ornament at the right side of
the head. Narrow bands of velvet or
satin ribbon might be used. An orna
ment of some description is essential
to this coiffure.
The little cork-screw curls at the
side are made by separating fuller
curls into strands, parting them off
with the fingers. Coiffures by cour
tesy of E. Burnham, Chicago.
OF LIE-DE-VIN FACE CLOTH
Complete Costume with Some New
and Attractive Points of Orna
mentation.
Lie-de-vin face-cloth is chosen here,
the plaited skirt has Russia braid ar
ranged in a wavy pattern as trimming
at the foot, buttons are also put on.
The coat has the braid put on to
1
r
i-—-1
mutch from the shoulder downward,
but round the lower edge the pattern
is much deeper. The right-hand side
of front is cut in tabs and fastens
over a waistcoat of black velvet; the
collar and cuffs are partly made of
same, while the other part is cloth
braided at the edges.
Hat of black beaver, trimmed with
feathers and silk.
Materials required: Seven yards
cloth 48 inches wide, one yard velvet,
three dozen yards Russia braid, two
dozen buttons, 4% yards silk for coat
lining.
Everything Beaded.
Large pieces of beading are used on
gowns and wraps, gloves and opera
bags and even stockings. The woman
who has leisure can amuse herself by
making designs in beads. She can
buy the latter in large boxes of all
colors at small prices.
HAIR MUST BE DRESSED FLAT
That Is Really the Most Important
Point of the Coiffure a la
Circassienne.
The flat hairdressing now worn in
America is called the coiffure a la Cir
cassienne. This particular kind of ar
rangement has as many names at
tached to it as the modern turban.
There seems no end to these. Mop,
Sans Gene, Brittany, Moyen-Age, tur
ban, are among some of the first that
greeted the coiffure. This much may
be said of it; there are more ways
of doing it than there are names
for it.
The requisite thing is to have it
flat. How one manages this is one’s
own secret.
No three hairdressers do it alike.
The hair may be loosely braided
and wound around the head, or it may
be twisted into a rope and placed
from nape of neck to forehead in
a« near a circle as the head will
permit.
Again, it is arranged in a long puff
cap in the middle of the head and
luxurious ropes or braids of hair are
wound around this.'
No hairpin must show except the
four huge shell ones that are to hold
the coils in place. There is no per
ceptible pompadour and the extrem
ists are endeavoring to make the ears
imperceptible.
For Your Party Bouquet.
The stems of party flowers will not
injure the delicate party frock if they
be incased in a little tube-like cover,
made for the purpose, of oil silk.
These covers have been made of
chamois, but that is not impervious to
water and the tinfoil in which stems
usually are wrapped will itself make
a discoloration on the gown.
The pinning on, too, will often tear
and pull the soft fabric and this may
be partially obviated by tying the
stems with a ribbon—green, like the
leaves, if you do not want it to show
—and pinning several of the loops un
der the folds of the trimming.
Shadow Lace.
This is new and, because of its un
obtrusive patterns, can be used in
great quantities without fear of over
decoration.
The pattern is woven in such a way
that an uncertain shadowy effect is
produced. It is especially lovely in
black and cream. The black shadow
lace is used over the black net and a
white satin underslip. The cream is
effective over pale tints in evening
gowns.
Suede Gloves in Fashion.
Smart women seem to have laid
aside the white glace glove in cam
phor. Suede is the thing. It is worn
for street in its heavy texture, with
wide stitching on the back, and is
worn in the evening in the frnle gold
en tones that are very becoming to
the arm and hands.
A Cure for All Evils
In certain parts of Worcestershire
and Staffordshire, in England, the idea
prevails that a silver coin from the
Christmas morning offertory is a sov
ereign remedy for any ill that human
flesh is heir to. Accordingly, any
householder who happens to have an
ailing child or other person in the
house hies him to the clergyman of
the parish on Christmas morning, and
asks as a favor a sacrament shilling.
The coin given in exchange has to b<
obtained by collecting a dozen pennies
from as many different maidens, anc
then changing the coppers for a silvei
shilling. For this coin the applicant
receives the coveted sacrament shil
ling, which, on being taken home, is
hung round the ailing one’s neck, and
is popularly supposed to effect a rapid
and complete cure of the complaint
no matter what it may be.
SENSITIVE,
“I found a purse this morning.”
‘‘Did you return it?”
“Xo. The owner might have offered
me a reward, and it would have

SKIN HUMOR 25 YEARS
“Cuticura did wonders for me. For
twenty-five years I suffered agony
from a terrible humor, completely cov
ering my head, neck and shoulders, so
even to my wife, I became an object
of dread. At large expense I consult
ed the most able doctors far and near.
Their treatment was of no avail, nor
was that of the - Hospital, during
six months’ efforts. I suffered on
and concluded there was no help for
me this side of the grave. Then I
heard of some one who had been cured
by Cuticura Remedies and thought
that a trial could do no harm. In a
surprisingly short time I was com
pletely cured. S. P. Keyes, 147 Con
gress St., Boston, Mass., Oct. 12, ’09.”
Face Covered with Pimples
“I congratulate Cuticura upon my
speedy recovery from pimples which
covered my face. I used Cuticura Soap,
Ointment and Resolvent for ten days
and my face cleared and I am perfect
ly w'ell. I had tried doctors for sev
eral month but got no results. Wm. J.
Sadlier, 1614 Susquehanna Ave., Phila
delphia, May 1, 1909.”
Story of a Moving Pumpkin.
A pumpkin was seen to walk across
the field by Mrs. Samuel H. Hight of
Skowegan recently. When she saw
it she thought her eyes were deceiv
ing her, but she soon perceived that
the pumpkin moved a little way,
stopped and then turned in another
direction. She wmtched this object for
some time and told one of her neigh
bors. The mystery was solved, but
the two women did not dare to go
nearer the moving vegetable, but j
called a man who knocked the pump
kin over and found a polecat. The
skunk had crawled under the pumpkin
and stuck his head into a hole in it
and w-as unable to extricate himself
from it and had walked off as best he
could with the pumpkin on his back.—

Friendly Birds.
Most of the birds and mammals have 1
the fear of man in their hearts, and
are difficult to approach, but others
show no great concern. The Alaskan
jays, for instance, are devoted camp
followers. “They proved useful as
scavengers,” says Mr. Osgood, “and
cooked oatmeal seemed to attract
them even more than raw meat. They
many times hopped about the campfire,
or perched on the tent poles and
ropes. Their harsh chattering was
not always pleasant, but was some
what atoned for by their less fre
quent soft whistle and their pert and
confident ways, so on the whole their
presence was welcomed.”
