A large amount of building is. being
done at Hebron this year, far more

new bank building. A state bank
with $4,000 capital is being started. H.

There is SO much spare money in this
locality that the bank will prove a suc
cessful venture from the first.
Seeding in this vicinity is nearly
completed. Too many farmers have
sown their grain on the stubble, ana
the result will be smaller crops than
would be assured if better methods
were adopted. The season is about
two weeks earlier than last year.
