Custer County Republican. (Broken Bow, Neb.) 1882-1921, 1907-09-12
1t Will Certainly
Be a Hummer
Some Facts Concerning the Custer
County Fair to be Held in
Broken Bow Next Week
Bee Culture


One OF the important interests
that is not being overlooked in
Custer county is Bee culture.
With the wonderful acreage of
alfalfa in Custer county one does
not realize the amount Of money
there is in this business. 1t is a
business that ladies can very we'll
handle. Mrs. Amos, of Com
stock, will have bees on exhibi-
tion at the coming Fair and will
be glad to impart to all any in
formation she can give them on
this subject. She is an expert
apiarist and has made a success
of the business.
Fine Arts
The Fine Art exhibit will be in
charge of Mrs.. M. S. Eddy, of
Merna. We expect to see fine
display in this department. The
premiums while not large are
some thing and the satisfaction of
having taken one of these prem
iums is much greater value than
the money paid therefor. Let
everyone bring their oil paint
ings, pastel, flowers, landscapes,
portraits, collection of shells and
all things that belong to this
department.
Needle Work
Do not overlook the needle
work department. This depart
ment will be in charge of Mrs. ].
S. Molly neux. All who make
exhibits will have fair treatment.
1t is the hope of the management
that this exhibit at the coming
fair will be the best in years.
Educational Department
The leading schools of the
country are now having as dis
tinct department of their educat-
ional course, domestic science.
All women ought to know how
to cook. Many suggest that
our grand mothers were better
cooks than the present gener-
alton. Mrs. T. L. Farnsworth
has charge of the culinary de-
partment of the coming fair.
1t IS the hope of the management
that this stall will be filled to
the roof with displays in this
class. The manager is always
hungry.
The Fruit Display
Already fruits have been
shipped from eastern counties
for display at the fair. 1t is the
hope of the management that
there will be large display of
Custer county fruits. While
this has not been good year for
fruits in this county it is hoped
all who can furnish anything
like creditable display Of
Custer county fruits will bring or
send the same to the fair.
Farm Products
| We hope the liberal offer con-
corning farm products made by
the management of the County
fair in last weeks publications
will not be overlooked. The
examination of this offer will dis
close that the first SO persons
bringing to the fair for exhibition
the products mentioned in this
advertisement will receive each
$500 whether the same takes a
premium or not and also two
season tickets for the fair.
The Races
The management is more than
pleased with the prospect for the
races at the coming fair. AL
ready entries in the free-for-a
and the 2:25 trot and pace are
filled. This assures at least five
starts in both of these races.
The probabilities are there will
not be less than seven. These
races will be fight from start to
finish and in all probabilities will
require five or six heats to de-
termine. Horses from Council
Bluffs, Grand Island, Aurora and
South Dakota have already
entered and paid their entrance
fee. If the weather is good there
will be better races this year
than ever in the history of the
track.
The Ladies Relay Race.
The entries in the five mile
relay races have already reached
the number of five. This will be
the most interesting race ever
