TO ASSEMBLE AT
C. C. Newmann to Address
Assembly on Country
Banking Topic.
Biography of a Country Bank"
Involving its relations to local and
national business Is the subject of
the address which C. C. New
mann, cashier of the Ashland
Farmers' and Merchants' National
bank, will give before members
of the Bizad college at a profes
sional meeting in social sciences
auditorium at 11 o'clock this morn
ing. "Mr. Newmann is truly an able
man." declared Prof. Arndt of the
economics department. "He has
given this talk frequently at
banker conventions, and it has
been very enthusiastically received
because of its pertinent Nebraska
interest. I sincerely believe that it
is the best study of its kind com
piled in the middle west."
Talk Based on Careful Analysis.
Newmann's topic includes the
results of 50 years of careful in
vestigation and analysis of the
small banks' relations to the lo
cal and national status of busi
ness. His deductions do not per
tain merely to any individual bank
or case but rather to national
economic conditions as a whole.
"Because of its general char
acter, this speech will be of ut
most interest not only to students
making a professional study of
banking, but to all interested in
economics as well, Arndt advised.
"This will not be just another
talk; Mr. Newmann has been
brought here because of his fine
recommendations by many who
have heard him."
Charts Illustrate Bank History.
Newmann will illustrate many
of his facts with charts which he
began making several years ago
and which depict the history of
his own bank. He began his chart
making because of personal cur

The way of all good columnists. .
Okl-timer3 who read the Ne

the heading "Around and About",
and under the by-line of Howard
Dobson. Dobson performed his
duties faithfully and with a degree
of excellence that delighted the
managing editors.
But anything was better than
the salary Howard was getting,
so he took a job on the night
sports desk of the Lincoln State

guidance of Dobby's very good

turned out a whale of a column
before he, too, was proselyted.
But Dick took a job on the night
spoils desk of the Lincoln State

This week, the Nebiaskan

found vindication. News wound

COLLEGE POETHY
CONTEST BEGUN

Who is the most outstanding
poet aming the college and uni

To find the answer to this ques
tion, a poetry contest is to be
conducted by Ted Malone, Colum
bia Broadcasting system com
mentator. This is a part of a nation-wide
cntest conducted in ev
ery state by Mr. Malone.
Each contestant may submit
three poems, each typed on mp
arate sheets of paper bearing the
name and address of the author.
The poems must be sent to Dr.
L. C. Wimberly. Andrews 121 be
fore January 8. The poems will be
sent to Ted Malone, and will be
turned over to judges to decide
the winning poem in each state.
The winning poems will be read
over a nation-wide CBS hook-up
by Ted Malone during the week of
Jan. 24th. Judges for the contest
are Audrey Wurdemann, Filitzer
prize poetry winner for 1034, and
Joseph Auslander, associate edi

who came here from the Univer
sity of Chicago, says that one
may feel sure that an early object
for human ingenuity was that of
finding means of allevlat'.ng pain,
of curing disease and of prevent

these prehistoric times should
