That is sometimes what you read of
bank officers.
Did you ever hear of a hanker with
lots of real estate being short in his
cash account? Never. Real estate
represents a solid value that cannot be
carted away.
All the officers and stockholders of
this bank keep the most of their prop
erty in the shape of good Nebraska
land. It can't get away.
This is a safe place to do your busi
ness. Thk Old Ukliahle

Forty-five persons were given na
turalization papers by Jndge Keeder
Inst Saturday afternoon, the largest
number ever natnrlized in Platte conn

nal papers was dne largely to the fact

tised a probable change in the near
futnre in the naturalization laws
which would add considerable to the
cost of naturalization.
The difficulty of obtaining papers
even is greater than than it was a few

increased under the new law.
Another opportunity will be offered
