LINCOLN, Aug. 29.-(Special.)-The
State Board Of Agriculture found in its
final roundup of conditions at the state
fair grounds that additional facilities were
needed for the later entries in the live
stock classes and 100 pens we're ordered
constructed for the accommodation Of the
overflow. Exhibits arrived in large num-
bers today and tomorrow will see still
greater activity on the grounds. II will
be necessary to keep a large force Of men
at work on Sunday in order to have things
in readiness for the opening Monday
morning.
The headquarters Of the board were re-
moved from the Lindell hotel to the fair
grounds this morning. Practically all of
the entries have been made, except those
in the speed class, and little remains to
be done by the officials. 1t is now up to
the exhibitors to get their displays In
order.
Much Typhoid Fever.
Lincoln physicians report a mild cpl
demic Of typhoid fever in this city, mostly
with persons who have sojourped during
the summer months in places of unhealthy
sanitary conditions. The city health on
GER, however, says there are not over 100
cases of the disease. The physicians re-

Farm Machinery Rises.
Retail prices Of some kinds Of farm and
implement machinery have increased
slightly during the past few days. but the
general agents OF the various manufac-
turers who have distributing houses here
declare that the change is not due to the

company. which includes many Of the
leading implement firms. They predict
that the organization OF this company
will result in the discharge of several
thousand clerks In houses throughout the
country, and that the farmers who buy
the machinery will get much of the ben
eft therefrom through a reduction In the
prices.

No Damage to Corn.
r. L. Vance Of Pawnee City. formerly
president Of the State Board of Agricul-
ture. says there is no truth In the report
that recent rains have damaged corn
throughout the state.
Il have lived In Nebraska a good many
years and l don't remember a time when
the crop prospect was so good as now,"
said Mr.. Vance. "AIl this talk about the
recent rains damaging corn is all bosh and
nothing else. They have prolonged the
growth somewhat, but not to a serious ex-
tent. A light frost now would not hurt
the corn a particle. All over the corn
growing country the conditions are equally
good"
Articles Of Incorporation Of the Elba
American Home company Of Elba. Howard
county. were recorded In the secretary Of
states ONCE today. The company is cap
italized for $1,000. It's incorporators are:
w. II. Lindsay. Josie Weiker, John p.
Weiker, Jay Smith. Charles Chinn, Mark
Holm, A.. Jacobson.
The State Board Of Purchase and Sup

lions during the ensuing quarter. Aside
from this meeting probably no business will
be transacted at the state house on that
day, nearly all Of the officials preferring
to observe the holiday.
