We are the type writer ribbon manufacturers with the best facilities, and the most complete knowledge of the qualities in a ribbon that typewriter users want and 'How to produce what they want. But all of these reasons hare followed from the first. It was Remington leadership which demanded and produced Paragon leadership. But do not think that the Paragon Ribbqn is simply a Remington affair. What the Paragon Ribbon has done for the Remington, it has done, incidentally, or every other writing machine.

Committee Is Able to Slake Argu ments Alans; Iilnn Wanted liy tho OrKnnlsntton Honrd Meet ing nt Lincoln flnturdny. BRIEF CITY NEWS Oiaaha bankers and business men who appeared before tho federal bank' organ ization board at Lincoln Saturday, re turned feeling more certain than ever that Omaha, will win ono ot tho .regional banks, They feel that they mado a splen did showing before tho board, and they return strong In tho opinion that their chances are better than thoso of Kansas City, Denver or Lincoln. It seems that "Kansas City had tried to convlnco the board that It has the great bulk of tho business from this section of the country," said Honry W, Yates, president of tho Nebraska Na tional bank, ot Omaha, on his return from the hearing at Lincoln. "But when tho board questioned us about the matter we showed very satisfactorily that the business of Kansas City from this sec tion U In, fact very light. "Wo also showed that Denvor has little or no business Irqttt tho east, or from this Nebraska country,. We pointed out to the board that ot 010 answers we received from bankers out In tho state to tho questions as to where they would prefer to havo tho regional bank located, 843 favored Oinsha, 65 favored Lincoln and none fa vored Denver." Omaha Presents Facts. "I feel that the Omaha committee mado good Impression," said J. C. Ken nedy, a member or. the committee that appeared before tho board. "The com mtttco mado an excellent showing on just the points that the bourd wanted to hear about. Lincoln mado tho mis take of,, presenting its case first. This gavo tho' Omaha , fellows tho ehanco to look on and to learn Just exactly what tne committeo wanted and what It did not want. Also the Omaha, commltteo had Us facts In such shape that they were able to. give them right from the shoulder. They wore welt Informed us to what the board wanted so that they didn't smother It with a lot of chaff that would havo to be eliminated by the uoara. wo understand that the situation- Is such that Kansas City will hardly net a. bank proper, whllo it might have a branch from St. Louis, Then, too, we understand that St. Paul and SUnncapolls are n- gaged lu so bitter a fight on tho matter mat neither Is apt to get a bank. This would mean that thoso cities would be aitacnei to tho Chicago region. This would leave this wholo section out hem alone, and that Is. one of the things that manes us reel,. too, that our chances are very good." To Clear Th roach Omnh. Tho regional bank controf erv has n-i to stimulate Interest In many mercantile ieaiurts ot umaha during the last few weeks, and the aroused spirit of business consciousness was made evident In the office of the collector of customs when one ot tho prominent lumber dealers called to Inform Cadet Taylor, surveyor ot the port of Omaha, that In the future he would Insist that his shipments of lumber from Canada be cleared through the office here Instead of some border town, as has occurred formerly. While tho bulk of the lumber importa tions from Canada are free of duty, the fact that these shipments aro cleared through this port will ei-ve to Indicate the true mercantile Importance of ttu city or omaha. and the volume of bus! ness win appear Is a prominent feature of the mercantile report. The operation of the new tariff law Is becoming familiar to Importers now, and Importa tions are gradually showing an Increase through the rort ot Omaha. Ktve Hoot Print It Now Deacon Press.

"In an other Instance 500 pounds of coal was While local dealers and the packlnc houso people nro becoming alarmed for I foar that they will not tc able to secure I tho normal supply of natural Ico the sit-J uatlon Is not worrying the railroad people. 1 Up to this time llttto Ice has been cut on the lakes In tho eastern half of the state, and consequently no portion of tho stock for next summer's consumption has been placed In storage here. The railroads, however, havo been able to sccuro tho normnl suppfy elsowhcre. The Union Pacific starts tho week with the houses on its system about two-thirds filled. Tho cutting is done at two points . Gothenburg, Nebv, and Laramie, Wyo. j At theso plates Ice twclvo to fourteen Inches thick has been cut and shipped, I Tho ice being put up by the Union Pa-' clfla is raid to be of excellent quality and Is being sent to tho storage points nil along tho Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado and Utah lines. With this company tho , harvest will bo over by the last ot next week. With another week of such weather as has been general over Nebraska for j tho Isst month or so the Northwestern will have completed its Ico. harvest and tho houses along the lines will bo filled. Tho ico Is being cut from the lakes In tho vicinity ot Valentino and la from ten to twelve Inches In thickness. The Burlington Is getting Its supply of Ico from Crystal lake, near Sioux City, and oven If the weather should not be colder than at present It will be able to fill the houses lnsido of another week or ten days. Some Ico for the western lines has been cut In tho vicinity of Mc- Cook. The Great Western Is securing Its Ice from Itcd Wing, Minn., distributing it from thcro to the houses along the lines. Heretofore considerable has been cut around Mankato, Minn., but up tiiero the crop Is short this winter. Tho nock Island has usually put up largo quantities of ico in the vicinity ot Meadow, Neb., but thoro is nono thero this winter. Sunday men were sent to tho lako to Inspect tho Ico and report, and they havo returned with tho report that It is not to exceed two Inches thick. Missouri Pacific officials aro unable to find any place where they can harvest tho annual supply of Ico. None ot tho lakes In company torritory has covering of Ico to exceed three Inches In thick ness. This Is too thin for packing and tho prospect for a, crop Is poor. rr.i.

So far tho freezes havo not made ico to exceed four Inches, and as a result thero Is considerable anilctv. though all of the plant managers agree that In the past the Ice harvesting, or at least the greater portion of It, has boon In Februnry. With a couple of weeks of freezing weather next month they reel certain that tho normal supply win 00 socurcd. given to a consumer to make up for the water sold." Pegg advises purchasers of coal to Inspect the coal after It arrives at their premises before It Is unlonded Into the cellars. He Is planning to start prose cutions against dealers who maliciously practice selling ice for coal.
