NUMBER 7 BE ON THE SAFE SIDE It is true that you are not likely to lose your savings if deposited in any good bank but you are ABSOLUTELY CERTAIN NOT to lose them when you deposit where you have the additional protection of the State Guaranty Law. Such protection is offered you here. It .is surely "good business" to deposit where you get absolutely guaranteed protection, in pref erence to placing money in a bank that guaran tees nothing. The State Guaranty Law is behind every dollar de posited in this bank, and when you open an account here, you are ON THE SAFE SIDE. WEBSTER COUNTY BANK RED CLOUD.

Come in and see for yourself. Ed. Hanson EXCLUSIVE AGENT Red Cloud Hdw. & Imp. Co., Red Cloud, Neb. I l Washington, Keb. 8 (Special.) "There, seems to be more misinforma tion over the pending liquor bill, known as the Kenyon-Shcppard bill, than any measure with which I have been familiar during my term in con gress," said Congressman Norris today. Mr. Norris is a member of the house judiciary committee, which has had the Kenyon-Sltappard bill under con sideration, and'bas been present at most of the various hearings which have been held from time to time dur ing the past year. , "I favor the passage of tfye bill, and it seems to me that nobody can have any objection to it except, the boot Megger and the man who sella bin his jboofe" continued Mr. Norris. , "H strikes only at. the' illegal seller of liquor, and Sxesno' ptniishBaent upon the shipper. It simply allows the law of the state to wbieh 'the liquor is shipped to operate, and allows state authorities to exercise the right girea them by their state laws to seise, the liquor if they wish to do so after it arrives at its destination before its de livery to the consignees. 'Under the present law liquor to be shipped la interstate commerce saust be plainly labelled, and when it is sent to anyone known to be in the business Illegally, everyone can see what it is when it is taken off the train at the depot; bat no one can take it because until its 'delivery it ia in interstate commerce and'under federal laws not subject to seiiure. This bill destroys its interstate character. It nxes no punishment, but if the state law pro vides against liquor selling it can be seized before delivery, and the state authorities must then prove that it was intended for illegal purposes before they can convict. "The burden of proof is upon the state or individual seising the liquor to show that it has been shipped in for purposes contrary to law. Any liquor sold to a licensed dealer cannot be touched and in no way Is the ship per of liquor, whether it be consigned to a licensed dealer or a boot logger, affected by tho provisions of the Ken-yoh-Shenpard bill.

Nebraska Potato Diseases The Department of Agricultural Botany is now completing for publica tion an extensive bulletin on the nature and control of the dry rot of the potato a diseasa.prevalent in the sand hill and high plains regious of western Ne braska. The disease has been shown. to be dae to a parasitic 'fungus,' which enters the mature tubers ' through' wounds due to the methods of digging and handling or to other causes, "Dhe greatest growth of the fungus oeoar daring storage and many serious- lose es have been reported by people who. have attempted to carry large qiantd ties of these infected potatoe&.throug,hV the winter. It has been found posslbleby proper treatment before storage to reduce' the losses from this rot from 30ito 4D per cent down to only 3 or 4 per cent. The western Nebraska potatoes, have- ex cellent "baking" quality,, and by tho use of these new methods it should be possible to holdthesn potatoes through the winter and avoid the losses due to immediate sale of the entire- crop in the fall.
