Another Shipment.

We will receive this week the second shipment of the Herrick Refrigerators. The facts that these refrigerators are built upon scientific principles and cost no more than the old style boxes account for their popularity.
 They are made of solid oak, insulated with mineral wool, trimmed with the best of hardware. The cooling space for the amount of ice used is one-third more than the ordi- nary refrigerator. They have perfect cir culation of dry air, which keeps the food bet ter and the ice longer You can put most any kind of vegetable or fruit in them and the other food will not have any foreign taste or smell. Your ice bill will be less and your food better if you buy the Herrck.

THEODORE ROOSEVELT"
BRYAN BELIEVES IN BANKS
Declares They Are Full of Good
Paper Which May he
Realized On.

LINCOLN, Nov 13-(Special.)-M Bryan
will say in this weeks issue of the Com
moner:
In other editorials the Commoner has
pointed out certain remedies that ought to
be invoked for the relieving of the present
panic and the protection of the public for
the future, but it begs to urge patience
and confidence upon its readers. The banks
are as a rule perfectly sound. They are
not loaded up with bad paper. Examina-
tion will show that prices have been rising
and that men are better able to pay their
debts now than they were ten or even
i've years ago, but the depositors can pre-
cipitate panic n they are unreasonable
enough TO do so. The withdrawal Of a few
dollars day by each depositor. if he de-
posits none, will soon cripple the strongest
institution, while an agreement among the
depositors TO exercise a little more faith
will soon relieve the situation While the
local banks may find It impossible 10 with
draw the deposits which they have made in
the eastern banks those deposits will ulti-
mstely be paid and there is practically no
danger OF loss to the various communities
unless deposltors are foolish enough TO ex-
pect the impossible. When a depusltor puts
his money into bank he knows that his
ability 20 withdraw II on demand depends
entirely upon the probability that but few
will want TO withdraw the money at one
time. He has no right TO expect, therefore,
that he can call for his money at once II
all the other depositors do the same thing
still less should he expect II II his timidity
makes others timid. This is a time when
depositors should recognize the service OF
the bank to the communication the bank
would not exist but for the local demand
for it-and the depositor should help to pro-
tect the community by giving such sup
port as is within his power. The depositor
who thinks only OF himself at a time like
this Is as much to be criticised as the eiti-
zen who, thinking only OF himself in time
OF war. refuses to bear any OF the risks or
dangers necessary for his eountrys protec-
ton"
