exhibits Il q great treat in itself. The
exhibits contain the best Of everything
raised in each OF the entering counties.
This feature has boon steadily growing
from year TO year. The following COM
ment on county exhibits by President
Roberts OF the state fair II timely and
interesting. He says;
In Nebraska we divide our state into
three districts In the department OF
county agricultural exhibits. These three
districts are called eastern, central and
western. We Justify this from the fact
that Nebraska, being go miles long east
and west and lying Immediately east OF
the foothills Of the Rockies, contains land
lying al an altitude from 800 to 5000 feet;
therefore natural agricultural products OF
the eastern and western parts OF che state
are foreign to each other and make lair
competition impossible over any certain
scale OF premiums offered. In this de-
partment we offer to the county coliec-
tive exhibits 81 go in premlums, also SIS
for best display OF same In addition we
permit each article to compete for pre-
miums offered for that specific product.
In 1914 our total premiums paid IN the
agricultural department amounted to
N.366.55.

tho modern fair was one Elkanah Wat
son. a Pittsfield CMass.) man, who
dreamed dreams much like all other men
who ever brought anything new to the
world In which they lived.
Soon after the year 1900 this man Wat
son began the advocacy Of the plan OF
showing animals and products at public
gatherings. He insisted that In this COM
parison of products the people would
learn more about the strong points OF
farming and stock raising and that all
exhibitors and all spectators who inter-
ested themselves could gain valuable in
formation by this means. The Tri-State
fair held at New York was the first
recognized fair of which there Is any
history. and the record is fairly accurate
that Watson was the one who gave i'm
petus TO II. The march toward bigger
and better fairs from that date was not
as rapid In the effete east az one would
think II should have been.
II remained for the west to take I'D the
idea and develop II to the utmost, Prao-
tically all of the great state fairs Of
the middle west were organized during
tho period Of 1880 and $50. and those now
recognized ms the strongest appear to

have been given the breath Of life at that
line by men OF the Watson caliber.
Nebraska held it's first territorial fair
In 1859 and Robert w. Furnas and ].
Sterling Morton were the men who were
its godfathers. Both were advocates of
advanced agriculture and both had much
to do with giving the idea q firm start
In this state.
Interesting History.
At meeting Of the state fair manaE-
ers not 80 very many months ago an
interesting discussion arose as to the
purposes OF the state fair and what Il
achieved year by year. The discussion
was never reported by the newspapers,
but II was full OF meat for all that
Frank @. odsll, now Of Omaha, scored
the hit Of the day when he gave vent to
the following along that line-somethinR
which might be applied TO the coming
state fair. His talk. as recorded in his
own language In the state fair boards
records, was az follows:
Organization of the Fair.
There are seventeen exhibition depart
ments OF the state fair. These include
horses. cattle. swine, sheep. poultry.
agricultural products, dairy. domestic
products. bees. honey. textiles. fine arts.

present an imposing array when the first
crowd OF sightseers swUops down upon
the halls. All the open spaces thereto
fore allotted to the machinery exhibits
will also show up we'll by the time the
fair gets under Roadway and there will
lie quite enough TO keep busy the people
who want to look over everything on this
midway OF machinery.
Live Stock and other Exhibits.
Horses. cattle and swine exhibits have
been gaining In size and value for the
last six years and the entries this year
indicate that 1915 will be recorded a. bet
ter than 1914 just as that year was
recorded better than the previous year.
The live stock parade. the feature Of
the closing day Of the fair. brings out
in imposing array the blue ribbon win
ners of the various classes. Those who
have not seen before what magnificent
specimens of stock are owned in this
state can see then at sweeping glance.
Arrangements of the exhibition pens and
barns this year will make IL easier than
ever for the attendants to take in the
sights of pure bred stock. 1t will be q
trip worth while. according to the prom

THE BREAD LINE AND
THE BANK LINE

Stretching clear around the block
at Broadway and Eleventh Street,
New York, any night at twelve
o'clock will be found a line of hun
CRY, detected, unkempt, homeless
men. Some are old, some young,
some middle-aged. But all are men,
waiting for the cup of coffee and the
roll which has been theirs for the
taking every night at twelve o'clock
for these many years and will be
for many years to come. 1t is the
famous bread line with tragedy all
it's own.
Stretching not SO far, a few
blocks to the north, almost any day
will be found another line of clear
eyed, well-dressed and prosperous
looking men and women, waiting to
put their savings in the bank. 1t is
the bank line. 1t has no fame, for
no one has ever written it up. 1t
has no tragic, no pitiful side.
The bank line stands erect; the
bread line dro0ps. The bank line
moves fast; the bread line slowly.
The bank line has something else
to do; the bread line hasn't.
Ask the men of the bread line
How came you here? and they will
answer, poor training, bad environ
uoan+ 1,od oou,0opiODc i1IoDacc
shiftlessness, drink. Some may have
been unfortunate, some misguided,
Or unguided, some inherently bad
some weak; but as a rule thrift
lessness in some form brought them
here. 81
Ask the bank line: What brought
you here? and they will answer,
good home Influences, proper train
Ladysmith news-budget. [volume] (Ladysmith, Rusk County, Wis.) 1907-1927, 1915-12-31

ing, good management, economy,
care, thought, hard work, sobriety,
honesty, integrity, thrift
Ask the bread line: What of the
future? and they will tell you they
don't knoW-the park, the poor
house, potter's field, when the bread
line no longer finds them able to
stand in line for a sip of coffee and
the little roll.
Ask the bank line: What of your
future? and they will tell you peace,
comfort and contentment The rainy
day has no terrors for them; let
the bread line worry about the
weather
The bread lines good times are in
the past-gone The bank lines
good times are in future-coming
The bank lines good times may not
have as many thrills as the bread
lines good times have had, or be
quite so hilarious, but they will last
longer and be more satisfying.
The bank line has worked on the
proposition that 2 plus equals 4,
while the bread line has worked on
the theory that minus 2 equals 0.
Both are automatically correct;
but the minus proposition has more
hurts in it than the plus. And the
hurts last a long time.
The roll and the coffee of the
bread line are as near nothing as a
man can eat; but the handbook in
the hands of the bank line is the
best thing man can have. It will
never desert him. 1t will stick by
MIN in any kind Of weather. 1t will
feed him, nurse him and pay his
rent. 1t will bury him, and the
bread line never does that.
Humanity divides itself into these
