What the 1914 Fair Will Demonstrate

T The resources of Nebraska are but
vaguely understood. Only the wise fish
ermen know the game fighters are found.
oBrien has the exhibits which convinces
all doubters. The fish building is one OF
the most attractive places on the fair
grounds.
More than 100 boys last year awaited
themselves of the privileges offered by
the boys state fair school encampment.
Competent instructors gave courses in
agriculture. athletics and farm manage
ment. Visits were made to the live stock
and agricultural exhibits as well as 20
| points OF interest about Lincoln. This will
again be feature.
OF Superintendent Anna V. Day offers
opportunities TO the school children OF the
state and in the new agriculture horticul-
ture hall will be housed these products
of the school rooms,
At the fair grounds there will be tele.
graph offices, telephones, postoffice
barber shop and all the conveniences of n
modern city will be accessible to patrons.
Education, inspiration, amusement and
recreation are provided for in the pro-
gram of the 1914 state fair. It is the am
bition of the management to reflect the
prosperity of the Nebraska farmers and
set forth as fully as possible the bound
less resources OF one of the best states In
the union.

Lincoln's Parks

Lincoln might as we'll be called Park
oit. Not because Of the number OF It's
parks Tor It has but Few. but because as
a whole it Is one beautiful park which
extends out over the entire city limits
and out into the suburbs Its shady
walks stretching for miles In either d.
recton have been responsible more than
anything else Tor the lack OF enthusiasm
in parl, development. Tor when a man has
trees galore, green grass In abundance
and shady hooks right at his door he not
quite as apt TO think of the park situi-
ton ms he would be u tho sun had the
opportunity to pour its hot rays on house
and lawn unhindered by shady trees.
However in late years Lincoln peop'e
have begun to consider the park question
and today Lincoln people enjoy the priv.
ilege OF parks, though few they may be.

them in short walk IL to be found Ante

all. This park is situated In the south
eastern portion OF the city and extends
for more than a milo along the Antelope
valley where natural shade trees con-
tribute TO its comfort This park In equip
animals, such as buffalo, deer, elk, boar
etc, can be found within its limits
The state capital grounds Is popular

part of the city where the poorer class

IN close proximity TO hundreds OF homes
where the chance to spend warm
evening in a cool place Is appreciated.
Band concerts are given for their amuse-

the case that several thousand people

Amusement parks are Epworth Lake

hold their annual outings. Lincoln park
is another amusement place reached on
the Epworth lake park line OF the street

Because in everything that counts for
agricultural value no state in the union
can compete with her
And all this will be demonstrated when
the gates are opened for the 1914 expo
sition.
The women of the state are taking a
keen interest in the fair. In addition 20
the domestic and fine arts department the
exposition management has attempted TO
set forth the latest advancement in solv-
Ing the problems connected with home
life, both rural and city. The modern
labor saving devices are exhibited.
Patrick Conways band, assisted by five
state bands, furnishes the music. There
are free concerts morning, afternoon and
evening Conway's band ia assisted by a
number Of grand opera singers Of interna-
tional reputation.
The vaudeville amusements are both
clean and entertaining. Slayman Ais
Wild Moors will appear in whirlwind
athletic work. The six Van Diemans will
give the latest in aerial tumbling. Teddy
Bros, the Benedettoes and other vaude-
Vile features will supply the comedy. Free
entertainments are given each afternoon
and evening before the grandstand.
Under the direction of Superintendent
w. ]. O'Brien there will be a fish exhibit
that will attract anglers and sportsmen.

That no state in the union can raise
as fine cattle.
That the educational interests of Ne
braska are well taken care of.
That products OF the farm are OF the
best quality. and the yield per acre won
derful.
That the people are prosperous, and
take great interest in their state fair.
That there are no better horses in the
world than are shown at the state fair
That the hogs and cattle are the finest
and bring the biggest prices.
That the speed events at the fair are
the peer of those of any other fair in the
country.
Why this will be shown is:
Because Nebraska stands first in the
value of beef cattle.
Because Nebraska stands first in the
number Of automobiles per capita,
Because Nebraska though less than
fifty years old stands second in the value
of farm property.
Because Nebraska stands second in the
per capita value of her wheat crop.
Because Nebraska is second in the per
capita value of her horses.
Because Nebraska stands second in the
capita value Of her swine.

DID YOU GET YOURS?

When the concern which took over
our property returned our mailing list
we found that it had been emptied in
discriminatory into a box. 1t required
three experienced comrades two days
to untangle the mass, even partially,
so if any one did not get the paper as
usual last week it is not to be mar
veled at. Under the trying circum-
stances the remarkable thing is that
ANYONE received paper.
For these reasons we particularly
request any subscribers not receiving
copy of any issue to notify US and
we will at once mail the missing num-
Der. We desire to do this in justice
to ourselves as well as to our readers.
This week we feel certain that our
list is again perfectly classified. But
if you find any error, or shortcoming
in it, please let us know AT ONCE.
