OMAHA BANK TO REOPEN

A few days ago Omaha and Lincoln newspapers reported a meeting of the stockholders of the Union State bank of Omaha at which arrangements were made that seemed to insure the reopening of the bank. The stockholders planned to put about $175,000 of new money into the bank. The plan required depositors to agree to a withdrawal plan that would enable the bank to pay depositors by degrees. Quoting in substance from the newspaper articles: The bank was sponsored by Czeçhoslovakians. Examiners found the bank in splendid condition. The suspension August 15 was caused by a run on the bank. President Frank C. Horacek and other officers have agreed to accept a fifty per cent salary cut until normal conditions return to the bank.

COUNTY EXCHANGES

Rising City Independent The Morgan children were all home over the week end and a delightful family reunion was enjoyed in the parental home. On Wednesday evening the Rising City band played their last concert for the year. The boys have been very faithful during the summer and have entertained hundreds of people at their Wednesday evening programs, who will recall with pleasure the evenings spent in listening to the splendid music. Rising City boasts of having a progressive town board, who watches for and makes needed improvements as finances will allow. At the last meeting they decided to grade and gravel the street to the school house, which will be one of the best and most needed improvements that could be made. Mr. and Mrs. Chas. Babb, Dick and Doyle and Max Shrader were Columbus visitors Sunday. While there they were guests of Charles Miller for an airplane ride. The three boys "got a thrill" they will not forget for a long time. What could boys enjoy more than a trip in the air? Brainard Clipper While Mr. and Mrs. Rudolph Osmera were at a party in Brainard Monday evening, someone stole about fifty of their silver lace Wyandotte chickens. John Piitz threshed the crop of alfalfa seed, Tuesday, which his brother-in-law Anton Schmitz, had harvested from about 3½ acres. He tells us that the seed was excellent quality and the yield 38 bushels, or 11 bushels per acre. With the price about $10 per bushel this patch of alfalfa will net Anton a nice piece of money. Joe Pekarek was rather skeptical of Andrew Behne's claim to a stalk of corn with six ears thereon and when Andrew took him out to prove it they discovered one that had ten ears on it. The ears, however, are about like the extra legs usually found on freak many-legged animals most of them being merely a start of an ear with a small cob and a little silk. John Kugler Jr. returned home Tuesday evening after nine months service in Uncle Sam's army, during which time he was stationed at Ft. Logan, Colo., and in the Hawaiian Islands. John says he has had enough army life to satisfy him for time. Considerable effort has been put forth by the former officers and directors of the Brainard State Bank and other persons interested in the re-organization of that institution and we are reliably informed that the prospects are quite promising. The re-opening of the Union State Bank of Omaha seems to be practically assured, anl its opening would release the money which our local has on deposit there and materially assist with re-organization. Bellwood Gazette Miss Mabel Graves, daughter of Mr. and Mrs. Virgil Graves, was united in marriage to Mr. Joseph Keller at Schuyler, on Wednesday. Mrs. J. Carpenter who has been seriously ill since being removed last Thursday to the home- of "her daughter, Mrs. Cecil Hall, is reported now slowly improving. Miss Gussie Kircher, who has been spending the summer with her broter, Joe Kirchner and family at Alliance returned home Monday. She also visited her sister, Mrs. A. Janicek, and family at Kimball. The Dist. 13 L. F. B. club ladies treated their husbands and families to a pienic at Pawnee park last Sunday. A general pienic dinner was served at noon to which all did full justice. The afternoon was pleasantly spent in visiting. All but three families were present.
