TALKED AT DINNER

as Executive Body to Decide
on State Celebration.
LEADING MEN wEBsTERs GUESTS

First definite steps we're taken
Friday night to celebrate the semi
centennial OF Nebraska's statehood.
The occasion was a complimentary
dinner rendered by John l.. Webster

eral committee, consisting OF men
from all over the state. Fifty were
in attendance.
Mr.. Webster presided and introduced
the speakers. Senators Hitchcock OF Ne
braska and Sheppard OF Texas and Con-
gressmen Sloan and Reavis of Nebraska.
II fair Nebraska had been maiden
really instead of only metsphorically the
bouquets thrown at It would have covered
its blushing form completely. Its I'm
paralIeled progress in q comparatively
short time from poverty, wildness and
woolness to tremendous wealth, high cul-
ture and vast prosperity were reviewed
with eloduence.
Executive Committee Named.
An executive committee was appointed
by Mr.. Webster to mould into concrete
form the definite idea Of what the cele-
bration is to be, how long II is TO con-
tlnue, Just the date when It is to take
place and to devise ways and means OF
rousing the people all over the state to
an interest in the project commensurate
with its importance.

thereafter Mr.. wattIes will call a meet

utilized that year and added to tho big

celebration.
1t is likely that interest will be spread
by means Of prizes offered in the schools
for the best essays on the subject. The
pioneers and the old soldiers will have a
prominent part. Former Nebraskans will
be invited from all over the wo:ld to
