The Successful
Farmer
of today who does not poBsess
a bank account is an oxcop
tion
To no ono is a checking ac
count more of a luxury It
solves the problem of always
having his monoy at hand of
making exact change and re
ceiving a receipt in return for
the monoy paid
Some men even to this day
persist in carrying a roll of
currency on their persons
they aro the ones we usually
read of in the papers as hav
ing been hold up and rob
bed
A bank account is the best
burglary insurance you can
have
This bank wants your busi
ness wo will appreciate it
we prove it

Information from Washington indi
cates that Nebraska cities with public
building expectations will have to be
very patient as such government work
s lagging being a year or two behind
time on buildings in the matter of
plans alone while the condition of
Uncle Sams pocUetbook is not at all
reassuring
A dill has been introduced in the
Kansas legislature compelling news
papers to publish monthly statements
of their circulation that advertisers may
know what they are getting or their
money This bill is similar to the one
recently drafted by the Milwaukee Ad
Club and now pending in the Wisconsin
legislature The bill provides a fine of
500 for a false statement All honest
and respectable Nebraska newspaper
men will favor a similar law for this
state Advertisers should be protected
against the imagination of irresponsible
solicitors on the one hand and publisher
should not be allowed to secure money
from advertisers under false representa
tions or false pretense
