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.

"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. Monday's State

have attempted to carry large qiantd

It has been found posslbleby proper
treatment before storage to reduce' the
losses from this rot from 30ito 4D per

western Nebraska potatoes, have- ex
