islature
MY attention has been called by
resolutions, proposed legislation and
various articles appearing through
the press Of the state to a serious re-
Election upon. and criticism Of the ad
ministration Of the affairs OF the
State Bank and Trust company. This
bank estate and the receiyership
thereof are now pending in the court
over which ] have the honor to pre-
side. Under ordinary conditions,
through usage, custom and practice
contributing to the independence OF
the judiciary. it is eminently proper
that judicial acts should be depend
ent solely upon competent evidence
properly submitted to the court and
not upon public comment, rumor or
eXtraneous matters The reason for
this. without further amplified state
ments. must be obvious.
Il am strongly Of the opinion,
however. that in justice TO myself, TO
my position and for the preservation
and integrity OF the court over which
! preside, that in this instance a de-
parture from this well recognized
rule and principle is more than amply
justified
aside from an assailment Of my
own personality, integrity. honor and
reputation. which after all is mans
dearest possession. the court and its
integrity have been seriously ques-
toned The purpose of this com
munication is to urge upon the hon
orable body over which you preside,
immediate action looking to a com
plete investigation Of this receiver
ship estate If | have betrayed my
trust, disgraced my office or wilfully
violated my oath the people of this
state should know il, and my removal
should follow
IF, on the other hand. these at
lacks upon my reputation, honor and
integrity are unwarranted. it is only
fair that the court, myself and those
dear to me, should be made to real.
lie the injustice Of this statewide re-
Election. If there should be delay in
ordering ways and means for this in
yestigation. propose at once to call
the grand jury of Ormsby county in
session, that all facts may be fully
presented. and complete disclosure
made. sincerely hope that the sug
gestions Of this letter may be speed
lily acted upon and that you will find
1t convenient and proper to commune

is A PRIZE WINNER.

That is the opinion Kurt Zutavern
has of the fine new house which has
just been completed for Mr.. Ienja-
man c. Unruh, of Pawnee Rock, Kurt
was at Mr.. Unruh's the first of last
week installing stationary vacuum
cleaner plant, and by the way, this
is said to be the only plant of the
kind in the state. 1t is connected
with every room in the house and is
operated by electric power and cost
$500. The new home of Mr.. Unruh
is one of the very finest in the coun-
ty and will cost approximately $780,
900.
1t contains fifteen rooms and is one
of the most complete homes in every
detail ever built in this country. The
entire first floor is finished in oak
and maple and the second floor in
maple. The furnace, the lighting fix
lures, and everything connected with
the building is of the finest obtain
able, and the home is one which is
matter of pride to the city of Paw
nee Rock. Mr.. Zutavern says the on
ly objection he could find with the
house in any way is that it was not
built in Great Bend, for it would GER
tainly be a handsome addition to the
town.

AMEND BROTHERS METHOD OF
ECONOMY.
In Order to Give Their Patients the
Most For Their Money.

Any man who is in business must
practice business ideas to make. that
business the success 1t should be. To
have your teeth looking clean and in
good shape, to be able to get along
with a full set of teeth and with no
aches or pains from them is the con-
tribution of the dental art to mankind
who is prone to let the teeth go un-
til it is almost too late to save them,
Last year the Amend Brothers tried
business idea in connection with
their business which proved so emf
nently successful that they are max
ing the same offer to the public again
this year. No man or woman can af-
ford to not. see the dentist at least
once every six months and the
Amends this year reproduce the
agreement of last year in which they
contracted to do 81 worth of work
for S., saving of 81. They found
that the increased volume of business
paid for the offer, and better yet,
they found that the saving was justi-
fled through the many contracts made.
They were allowed to know how
much material and supplies need be
contracted for and were enabled to
buy it on a business basis. 1t is a
we'll known fact that a large volume
of business on a small profit is much
better than a small business with a
big profit, other conditions being
equal. The Amend Sanitary Dental
Parlors have no superior anywhere in
the country and particularly not in
Barton county. The quality of work
cannot be surpassed. Why elucidate
further.
Last year We told you about the
equipment of these beautiful parlors
and yet in spite of their beauty, in
spite Of almost every imaginable de-
vice, clean and effective, the Amend s
have added a still greater equipment
to their parlors. 1t allows them to
perform all the painful dental opera
tons without your being hurt in the
least. 1t works while you sleep. If
You have been dreading a visit to the
Dental Parlors you may feel at ease
now.
Patients needing a large amount of
work done can save from $50 to $50
by seeing them and taking advantage
OF the big offer which they make in
another part of this paper. By spe-
, cial arrangement work can be con-
tracted for now and done any time
during the year to suit your cOnven-
fence.

Look up that announcement.

One of the Claflin merchants is
wondering which one of his customers
is carrying around a five cent piece
and thinking it is penny, or which
one of them knows he is $4.99 to the
good. The merchant placed s. gold
piece in with his pennies one day
last week and forgetting about it,
gave it out as a one-cent piece in
change. The Clarion man didn't say
who the merchant was, but it's a
cinch that it wasn't printer, for
they would never be that careless
with real money.
