NORFOLK IS RECOGNIZED.
UNITED STATES GOVERNMENT
DEPOSITORY HERE NOW.
THE NOTICE CAME YESTERDAY
The Treasury Department Has APP
pointed a Norfolk Bank TO be One
Of the Federal Depositories-onIy
One Outside Omaha or Lincoln.
From Saturdays DNily.l

From Saturdays Daily.l
Norfolk has gained another point In
It's development as the distributing
center for the northwest. A United
States depository has been established
in this city. Norfolk is the only city
in Nebraska, outside Omaha and Lin
coin, to enjoy this distinction.
The Norfolk National bank received
notice yesterday afternoon from Les
lie M. Shaw, secretary of the treas
ury, to the effect that that institution
has been appointed as a depository for
United States funds. The new condi-
ton was to take effect as soon as
United States bonds covering the
amount of deposits which can be re-
ceived, were purchased. These bonds
were purchased in New York this
morning, following meeting of he
banks directors yesterday afternoon
and telegraphic order to New York
instructing agents to purchase the de-
sired bonds. ,,., 81.
The appointment of this bank as a
federal depository is considered as
another recognition of Norfolk as the
financial center for this northwest. 1t
will aid Norfolk banks a point in
achieving. their ambition to become
the distributing banking center of the
territory.
The creation of a depository here
will mean that portion of the idle
funds of the United States government
will be deposited here and later 1T will
mean that funds from Indian agencies
in this section of the west will come
to Norfolk, as well as postofiice and
federal court money.
President Burnham received num-
Der of telegraphic congratulations yes
terday from banking friends elsewhere
who had read of the appointment in
the bulletins issued by the comptroller
of the treasury.
Mr. Burnham is naturally highly
pleased with his success in gaining
this added advantage for commercial
Norfolk. He has been working toward
this end for some time past and only
obtained the appointment for his bank
after several large obstacles had been
overcome.
The establishment of the new depos-
itory here is regarded by business
men as a recognition of the entire
northern part of Nebraska and south
ern South Dakota, as we'll as Norfolk
individually.
Norfolk has been rapidly advancing
to the position of banking center for
this section for the past three years.
This city is admirably located for that
position because the banks of Norfolk
are able to ship out currency to their
correspondents twenty-four hours ear
lier than it can be obtained from Sioux
City or Omaha, and because clear
ances are made here a day earlier,
saving to the north Nebraska banks
a days interest

If reports in the daily press are to be believed, there is q Plymouth Rock hen owned near Arcola. III, which should certainly be encouraged in her desire to have a family of her own. She wanted to sit in the hog shed at the time litter of pigs was born, and, not being provided with eggs, she un- dertook the mothering of a couple of the little pigs, gathering one under each wing as night came on, an ar engagement that seems to have proved mutually satisfactory. The state ex- pertinent station should provide this bird with a medal.

With a view to making the best of a bad bargain, the outgrowth of a batch of two-year-old onion seed, friend of the writer last year set out half of an acre of onions to strawberries. giving them the best care he could consistent with the culture of half a stand of on- ions. Last fall he marketed $45 worth of onions from the half acre and this year sold S65 of strawberries from the bed thus planted As the strawberry bed usually gives no return the first year, the plan followed proved a very satisfactory one.

The success of a system of tile drain age depends no less upon having the ground properly surveyed and the trench inspected before the tile is laid than upon the quality of tile used. In view of the fact that tiling well laid should be good for lifetime, it would pay any one having any considerable amount of the work to do to hire an expert to see to it that this first part of the work mentioned is scientifically and properly done.

All too many human lives bear a close analogy to the neglected field, which, though possessing an Innate ca- pacity to produce a wholesome, useful crop, through neglect is producing nothing but weeds, exhausting Its own fertility and proving a source of con tamination to land adjoining. In both cases the cost of reclamation Is four fold more than that of keeping both life and land at its best. Restoration in either case comes through the sow Ing of good seed and careful cultiva- ton.
