THE EASTERN MONfrSTRINGENCY
t
Causes McCook Banks to Fall in Line with the Banks All
Over the Country
LARGE WITHDRAWALS OF CURRENCY BECLINED
Business Temporarily Transacted by the Use of Checks Which Serve the
Purpose and Cause Little or No Inconvenience
On account of the money stringency in the east eastern bankers refusing to
ship currency to their western banker correspondents the McCook banks in
common with all Nebraska banks have this week been compolled to refuse to
allow the withdrawal of large sums in currency from the local banks Small
checks where the necessity is shown are paid however Otherwise business for
the present is being transacted with checks in the smaller places and in the
larger cities with clearing house certificates
This course is clearly for the protection of depositors and is doing the work
The necessity however is not expected to continue more than a few days longer
At a meeting of practically every business man in McCook held in the Com
mercial Club room Monday the following sensible action was taken which
shows that the commercial interests of McCook have absolute confidence in the
local banks and endorse to the limit their action -
KEEP SMILING DONT WORRY
Owing to the severe currency stringency pur Eastern correspondents can not
ship us any currency and for that reason we can npt pay you any currency on
your check for the present except in cases of absolute necessity
You can pay bills to the merchants about town with checks and all such
checks will be received at all banks for credit If you wish to pay bills out of
town send a draft
DO NOT WORRY A PARTICLE
YOUR MONEY IS ABSOLUTELY SAFE
THERElS NOT THE SLIGHTEST NEED
FOR ANY UNEASINESS
It is just a currency stringency which we hope will adjust itself within a
short time This is simply an action taken by all the banks of the United States
and we are forced to do the same to protectour depositors and business men
Every dollar of currency that you deposit from now on will be repaid to you
in currency on demand
We the representatives of the Banks of McCook ask the co operation of the
business men and our customers generally
P WALSH President McCook National Bank
P A PENNELL Cashier First National Bank
V FRANKLIN President Citizens Bank
Whereas Believing the statement made by the banks of McCook to be
true as reflected by statements of Omaha Chicago and New York banks
Resolved That we the business men of McCook -having the utmost con
fidence in the stability of the banks heartily endorse the plan formulated for
the conduct of the business and pledge our heaftyco operation in carrying out
the same

To the Voters of Red Willow County
We the Democratic Central committee of this county presuming that all tax
payers and voters are interested in those things that concern the common good
have taken this opportunity of calling your attention through the public press
to a few facts of interest in connection with the coming county election
As everyone doubtless knows all candidates on the various tickets were nomi
nated under the new primary election law which was in effect for the first time
this year and the next duty of the voting public is to elect all county officers for
the ensuing term Being firm believers in the fact that publicity is the best aid
in determining the character or qualifications of any person we wish you the
public to know who these candidates are and what they stand for
Inasmuch as you are a tax payer of this county it is absolutely essential that
you know the moral and mental calibre of the persons for whom you cast your
vote You follow this line of action in all your personal business deals that is to
say before buying any chatties or piece of merchandise you must first know the
quality or intrinsic value of that for which you pay and why should you not be
equally careful in choosing the men to whom you entrust both the expenditure of
public funds and the administration of public affairs
It is a reflection upon a mans intelligence to say that he votes blindly and
without consideration or that ho votes not at all To sum up the matter plainly
You are paying for something and the question is do you know what you are
getting It matters not whether you befarmermerchant salaried man or laborer
you are compelled to pay tax either real or personal and the question which every
good citizen asks himself on election day Am I going to cast my vote in the in
terests of a favored few or for the general welfare of my county
We believe the candidates under our standard to he honest intelligent and
decent and know that each and every one is a factor for good in his home com
munity They are seeking office with the one idea of rendering to the county a
clean economic administration We have no desire to further the interests of our
party by depreciating or maligning any candidate of the opposition but we do
claim the right of asking you to enquire into the qualification of those seeking
office
We trust that you will not only go to the polls on November 5th but ask that
you mark your ballot with the same care that you exercise in the management of
your personal affairs
The constitution of the United States assures you a vote in national state
county and local affairs and regardless of your past or present political affilia
tions we respectfully ask your support for the following candidates

The Awl Os Excel Themselves
It has been the annual habit of the
young ladies of the Awl Os club to
give a party to a company of invited
young gentlemen guests on Hal
loween These affairs have added to
the fame of this unique and remarkable
feminine social aggregation
Last nights function in Diamonds
hall is acknowledged by all informed to
have excelled any and every past effort
in every particular decorations re
freshments specialties etc The tra
ditions of the club were gloriously up
held
The hall decorations were in black
Myriad black cats adorned the walls
and black bats and spiders galore were
pendant from ceiling
A buffet luncheon was served in the
banquet room from small round tables
decorated with autumn leaves and bear
ing pumpkin baskets of fruit etc
Miss Bessie Peterson prosit the

Mrs J Raymond McCarl was the
clever officiate at the mock marriage and
and Miss Heckman and Mr Colfer the
trembling victims
Four of the guests were given the 23rd
degree in Awl-O-ism with the usual par
ticulars
The M E S club gave a ghost
party in Ganschow hall of very clever
and delightful details

The Juniors Entertain
The Juniors were hosts to the class of
08 and the high school teachers initiat
ing them into the mysteries of Hol
loween
The Heckman home had been trans
formed into a habitation of ghosts and
ghostly things
The library became the home of the
fortune teller where secrets of the fu
ture were revealed to the eager seniors
The parlors were haunted by black cats
owls bats ghosts skeletons and all
such creepy things And in the
dining room the wily spider had spread
his enticing and entangling web
The oracle of fate gave sentence of
coming good or ill to each one Alto
gether the affair was truly Macbethian
in its setting but the guests soon dis
covered that the witches were indeed
the bewitching juniors whose good will
and genial hospitality called forth mus
ic and laughter and fun until the un
timely crowing of the cock warned the
ghosts and guests alike that the night
was done and the seniors in their wis
dom finally decreed that whether as
white robed unearthly beings or stud
ious and proper members of the class of
09 the juniors were equally delightful
Tooth Talk
To those seeking a really delightful
tooth cleanser preserver and beautifier

absolutely free from tartar the gums
keep hard and healthy and a most re
freshing pure feeling is imparted to the
