all parts of the country the pre-
cious messages which we are all
sending to our friends and rela-

To make it possible for them to
give their usual high class of SER
vice during the rush of the

tions and if everyone will cooper
ate in observing them postal

fciently. Of this list of rules the

RIVER FREEZES OVER

The Missouri is frozen over at
some places. Crossings have been
made on foot since the first of
the week and Wednesday several
farmers came over in cars. Lower
temperature for a few days to
make the ice secure for loads
is desirable.

Players Live the Roles

The Freiburg Players, born,
bred and trained throughout the
ensuing generations to play these
parts are not actors at all They
live the roles. Adolph and George
Fassnacht, the Christus and
Judas of the picture, are so real,
that to merely say that they are
convincing is a weak description
of their remarkable delineations.
Pictures of the Twelve Apostles
in religious publications are al
ways interesting, but it is not too
much to say that the characteri-
cations of the Apostles in this
film are startlingly realistic

AGREE ON 80 PER
CENT SETTLEMENT
DEFUNCT FIRST NATIONAL
BANK OF POPLAR GIVES
COUNTY $I3,5OO

At meeting of the board of
county commissioners held last
week it was decided to accept
$13,500 or about 38 per cent of
the original bonds of the defunct
First National Bank of Poplar for
county funds deposited in that
bank at the time of the failure.
The settlement has been pending
for about three years, during
which time at least one of the
bondsmen died and the personal
fortunes off others shrunk to con-
siderably smaller sizes than at the
time they signed the bonds. The
original amount of the bonds for
the county funds we S34,972.84.
Relieved of liability
According to the decision of
the county board the bondsmen
are relieved of further liability
for the amount of these bonds.
At the time of the failure of the
bank county funds amounting to
34,972.84 were carried and Sc
cured by the personal bonds of
a number of we'll to do county
citizens who were interested in
the Poplar bank in one way or
According to the letter
of the law they were personally
responsible to the last cent for
this amount but the failure of
the bank and other business re
verses so diminished their holdings
that they were not able to meet
The guarantee Of the bond and so
entered legal protest against its
payment.
Present Protection
To prevent a similar occurance,
% further protect county funds
md at the same time not to be
/ burden on well intentioned per-
sons not able to take such a re-
possibility practically all county
.unds are now carried under
urety bonds and Liberty bonds.
More Coming
The county will probably re-
.eive more money on this account ]
when the final disposal of the
of the Poplar bank is
made as it will receive all divi- {
lends that are paid by the bank. {

WICKERSHAM is CANDIDATE
Will seek seat on the Federal
bench in Alaska, probably in the
First GA Third Division.
Hon. James Wickersham, for
mer federal Judge and former
delegate to congress from Alaska
is candidate for a judgeship in
the territory. What judicial dist
riot he will apply for cannot be
ascertained, but it is supposed
that it will be either the First or
the Third divisions, as Judge
Lomen, of the Sec ond, and Judge
Clegg Of the Fourth, have been
reappointed, and are not likely to
be disturbed.
Judge WickerSham. during
the long illness of his beloved
wife, never felt free to seek a
judicial office since he retired
from the delegate ship, because
it was net possible for her to live
