tbo money you blow in
foolishly if invested in a
bank account would soon
put you on easy street
You owe yourself the
protection a Savings Ac
count will afford you
If you are spending all
you earn it is unfair to
yourself and those who
may be dependent on you
You have noticed the
manner in which small
amounts expended count
up in a month a part of
such expenditures saved
will allow you to have an
account at this bank

It is forecast that the state levy may
be reduced somewhat this jear The
state has paid off all the outstanding

it may be possible to abolish entirely
the one mill levy for the creation of a
redemption fund or if not that to at
least cut off the one fourth mill from the
general fund levy
Judge T C Mungers decision that
the Burlington railroad had no right in

law reducing the railroad transporta

Is a Possible Candidate
Washington July 5 Representative
Norris was busy today trying to figure
out with some other republicans who
are opposed to the tariff bill how to im
prove it in the boue and in conference
He was discouraged over the outlook
They will pass a rule which will at
the same time disagree to the senate
amendments ask a conference order
j the bill sent to conference and then
i name the conferees he said and 1
dont see much chance of beating the
rule Thats where we must begin ii
t we are to accomplish anything
J Judge Norris was asked whether he
j bad heard anything about his enatorial
bourn while be was in the state He in-
i
timrited that a good many more than a
few people had talked to him about it
and had acknowledged that be could
look for a large progressive support
But does all this mean that vou are
going to be a candidate he was asked
It doesnt mean anything was the
reply except that I have not yet de
cided whttt I will do I have noc said I
would not be a candidate and it is not
impossible that I may be There is a
good deal of interest in the state in the
situation and I have a feeling that 1
could get a lot of votes in a good many
different parts of the state if 1 should go
out after the nomination But I simply
have not yet decided whether I will be
a candidate or not
J udgb Norris discussing the matter
generally made known that he had no
intention even if he should ultimately
become a candidate of precipitating
himself so earl into the contestwhich
would have so many months to run On
the other hand he seemed fairly willing
to have it settled that he was not to be
thoughtlessly counted out of the list of
possibilities Special to the Lincoln

How Holdrege Explains It
At McCook the taker of the school
census had a notice inserted in the
papers advertising the fact that he
wanted the names of every youth of
age who could possibly have
been missed in his rounds Here is one
secret that accounts for the fact that
McCooks school census is always quite
a little larger than ours It pays to ad
vertise Holdrege Citizen

COLOR WORDS
Red Seems to Be the Favorite With
Most of the Great Writers
Upon tabulating the words used by
Shakespeare referring to colors It is
revealed that out of every hundred
color words thirty may be classed us
red Next follow twenty two white
twenty black seventeen yellow seven
green and only four blue Thus Shake
speares favorite color word was red
and Investigation will show that this
flB the characteristic color of nearly
all great writers For lnstnnce it Is
the color word most often employed by
Tennyson
In all great works of humau interest
red predominates as It is the color of
the very strongest of our passions and
Impulses the color of hot blood There
is no color so warm so full of joy and
life so overflowing with vitality
Red is the color of glowing Iron of
heat and passion In nature red has
tens the growth of trees while at the
same time it quickens all rotting and
decay rians grown under red glass
will grow four times as quickly as
under white light and grow to four
times their usual height
Red In excess has an evil effeat For
example an excess of red light makes
one Irritable and nervous In excess
red produces homicidal mania the de
sire to kill The effect of red upon
various animals Is well known it hav
ing the power of enraging the bull the

ONE BUSINESS REFORM
Brought About by Frank Statements
From Former Employees
If the manager of a business insti
tution knew all that his employees
know about the detaito of tbo business
many things would be different The
manager of a large uvercantifehouse
recently conceived the idea ofvriting
a personal letter to every offployee
who had left the house during Hie last
five years Inviting a frank statement
of the reason for leaving The former
employees now expecting neither cen
sure nor favor were very frank and
explicit and as a rule wrote letters
that could not fail to command re
spectful attention One man told how
hard he had worked to support his
mother and how when he asked for
an increase he was shifted back and
forth between different superiors for
several weeks without having his re
quest rejected or acceded to and he
grew tired and sought another posi
tion Another told of the impositions
of the department manager and of his
inability to get relief from a nagging
disposition which was taking the
heart out of hundreds of other men In
his department Many points of obvi
ous mismanagement were brought to
light which had virtually driven away
good men who had been educated to
the business The manager has been
busy ever since instituting reforms
based upon the information he re
ceived Colliers Weekly
A Narrow Escape
When Mr Hartman returned an hour
later than usual Mrs Hartman asked
him the reason and his good natured
face was solemn as he answered her
I haf had one narrow escape from
drowning Katchen he said
How was that happen asked his
wife as she helped him unwind the
knitted scarf from his neck Tell to
me it at once Hans
It was at the ferry that I came
kite said Mr Hartman from the
blocked cars and the boat she was
just starting A man he called me
out Joomp joomp and for one mo
ment I thought to make as he said
But I reminded myself to be cautious
and wait and in one minute more
Katchen came a great patch of water
showing Then I took holt of the post
whereby I stood and said to myself
Hans you were the wise man that
you Jooinped not at first when that
man advised Youths Companion
