WOMAN Is AN ARTIST
In PASSING CHECKS
Several Stores Are Trimmed

MANY HOLDING THE SACK

Such a flock Of bad checks has a
certain woman passed on the leading
retail stores of Omaha within the last
week that the retailers are seriously
considering the matter Of instituting
rules regarding the cashing OF checks
fully as strict as those employed by
the banks themselves.
1t is possible that rule will soon
be made among the retailers requiring
/ customer to identify himself or her
self and show that he or she has
sufficient bank account to take up the
checks offered before they will be
cashed.
This woman has operated in Omaha
since last Tuesday, She operated
swiftly and as smoothly as an eel.
The result is that the Thomas Kill

the trees are heavy with moss-both
have acquired projections against the
rigors of the cold weather.
So, the ordinary citizen, unequipp-
ed with any manner of forecasting for
himself except with the use of the
Family Almanac, has some difficulty
in determining just how much coal to
order for the winter supply. AS a
matter of fact, the Indian is inclined
to look backward rather than for
ward in making his predictions. For
instance, he remembers that before
last winter there were lots of bugs in
evidence. Last winter was hard so
he decides that the presence of so
many insects is the foerunner of
hard winter. If he looked at it in
another way, he would probably see
that the reason for the scarcity of
bugs this spring was that they had all
been killed off by the rigorous wealth
.er and the reason for their appear

was that there had not been any wea-
ther hard enough to kill them for
several years.
So it is with the predictions bas-
ed on the portly bear and moss COW
cred trees. The berries have been
plentiful in the forests this year and
consequently, the bears have Jared
well and will go through the winter
in fine shape. The unusually wet

STAR TELLS OF SUC-

At twenty-one to be recognized as
one OF the screenland's most popular
and talented young players, is the en-
vious record held by Miss Geraldine
O'Brien, the featured player in His

screened at the Thanhouser studios.
Miss O'Brien has been in picture
work but little more than two years.
Nevertheless in that short time she
has risen to the very pinnacle of her
profession and today is generally con-
ceded one of the real stars of the 81
lent drama.
"To what do you attribute your
success" Miss O'Brien was recently
asked by friend who visited her at
the Thanhouser studios in New Ro-
chelle.
"To many things" replied the
young star. First of all, must say
that luck has much to do with it. Un-
til three years ago l had no idea,
whatever of taking up career in the
studios. My first effort wasn't much
of success, stage fright got the bet
ter of me. 1t was almost year be-
fore made another effort. | deter

tor the best efforts l possessed, and
that, as much as anything is res
ponsible for my position today.

tion picture work, just as in any 9TH
er life, when one hopes to rise to the
top. And one should never COM

she might be called upon to perform.
But above all, interest in your part
your work and your future, are the
big things that count. The oppor-
tunities in the motion picture studios
are many, but you must concentrate
your whole mind on your work if you
hope for any kind of success"

GieSe Accident Nearly Costs Life,

While hauling hay Wednesday for
the c. S. McNaught Co., H. B. Giese
met with an accident that will cripple
him for several months. He had
loaded his wagon with baled hay at
the Mcknight field and started to
town. Just as he burned into the
road and started down the hill two
bales in front rolled off, taking Harry
with them. The hay fell onto the
horses, causing them to run. Giese
fell in front of the wheels which pass
ed over his left heel and foot and
right limb between the knee and an
kle.
Some of the bones of the foot were
broken and in addition there is a
deep cut which has the appearance Of
a hook having entered and then torn
out. One bone of the limb was
broken and there was a bad cut on it.
too. How the cuts were made has
not been explained and Mr.. Giese has
no idea how it happened.
The accident was witnessed by men
working nearby and DR.. Wainscott
was summoned Immediately and dres-
sed the wounds. While the hurts
were painful Wednesday, Mr. Giese is
resting fairly comfortable now.-Her-
miston Herald.

Athena, Ore, Sept. 30.-Athena
had another disastrous fire last even
ing. Starting in the back end of the
garage of the Allen Auto Co., it des-
troyed the garage and the Mosgrove
storeroom adjoining and threatened
for a time to spread through all of
the buildings on the south side of the
street.
The fire broke out about s o'clock
in the evening. Mr.. Allen was vul-
canizing a tire in the rear room of
his garage when a customer came in
for gasoline. After entering the
charge, he went back to discover the
whole rear room in flames.
The loss on the garage was about
$500 and was partially covered by
$500 insurance. A Studebaker auto
and motorcycle inside were burned.
The loss in the burning of the store
room was about 5000 and the con-
tents destroyed were valued at $1,000.
There was S400 policy on the con-
tents.-Pendleton f. O.

Money can now be borrowed in

elusive evidence, among other things,
of the progress Gillian county is

The Indians have all manner of ira
ditions and superstitions for forecast
ing the weather and with the Judi
cious use of the most applicable of
them manage usually to make pret-
ty accurate forecast of the approach
ing season. The only unpleasant fea-
ture is that these forecasts are not al
ways to be relied on until the weather
has come. The red man has some
of that same tendency toward a
change of mind that has been exhi-
bited in recent years by the chief
executive of the national govern
ment.
AS an instance: Early in the sum-
mer the Indians of this section of the
country made the forecast that the
coming winter would be mild one
because of the small number of flies
and insects to be found in the woods.
They pointed out that last fall the
insects We're busy gathering supplies
for the hard winter to come and that
they were to be seen in great num-
bers. This spring, the insects were
few and the Indians said that they
were taking advantage of the fact
that it would not be necessary this
year to gather large supply of win
ter food for the winter would be
brief.
Lately, however, something has i'm
PEELED the native to change his mind
and hard winter is the latest fore
cast. The Indian says he knows it
will be hard winter because the

Morrow county won more laurels
last week when C. A. Minor took first
prize at the State Fair for an indi-
vidual exhibit. This is a fitting re-
ward for Mr. Minors efforts. His
exhibit was one of merit and con-
sisted of a complete display of gras-
ses, vegetables, grains and other farm
products from his Morrow county
ranches. The Morrow county ex-
hibit was awarded fourth place in the
Eastern Oregon division this year.
Last year this county took first prize.

Citizens Bank of Harrison
ANNOUNCEMENT

1t is with profound sorrow that we
announce the death Of Mr.. c. NJ,
Greene who has been the head of this
institution since its organization, and
during which long period, by the prac-
tice of fair dealing and the strict OBJ
servance of sound business principles
he built up a large business and made
for himself an enviable reputation as
man and a banker.
Failing health made it necessary
for Mr.. Greene to relinquish active
service some time ago, although he
continued to serve the bank and its
customers in an advisory capacity un-
til about three weeks before his death.
At a meeting of the board of direc-
tors Of the bank held on April 9th,
1916, R. S. Granger was elected presi-
dent to succeed Mr.. Greene. Mr..
Granger was formerly vice-president
of the bank and is familiar with all its
affairs.
John |. Worthington will serve as
vice-president and be active in the
management of the institution. w.
S, Petit will continue as cashier, and
W. f. Greene as assistant cashier of
the bank. No changes will be made
in the policies of the Citizens Bank,
and its affairs will be conducted by
its officers and directors along the
lines so successfully followed in past
years.
Realizing that the friends of Mr..
Greene and of the bank are interested
in the Institution, the following stock
holders, officers and directors join in
this announcement;
R. S, Granger, President; Jno. |.
Worthington, Vice-Prest.; W. S.
