State Fair Program Holds Much to Warm the Sporting Blood

II there is one thing more than
any other that the people of Nebras-
ka look forward to with supreme
pleasure, it is the annual meeting of
the Nebraska State fair. This fair
Z might more truly be classified as an
exposition, for it is TO the west what
some of the great expositions have
seen to the country.
Just because it is called the .lebras-
ka State fair does not mean that none
but the people OF Nebraska attend.
Far from it. They come from the
states of the middle west in great
numbers, for the people of this great
agricultural territory comprising the
country embraced in half dozen of
the best states in the union, have long
ago learned to know that the Me-
braska State fair is one of the best,
if not the best, in the whole west and
that in its display OF fine stock the
best In the country can be seen.
As an indication of the drawing
power of the Nebraska exposition it
is only necessary to refer to the at
tendance as shown in the six big
state fairs OF the west. Taking the
population in a radius of ten miles
of the fair in each state, in the state
of Minnesota the attendance was S.
per cent of the population within that
radius. In Iowa, 222.7 per cent; in
illinois, $3.50 per cent; in Michigan,
$40 per cent; in Wisconsin, 3l.8 per
cent, while in Nebraska it was next
to Illinois-30l.2 per cent. This in
spite of the fact that all the other
states had population within the
ten-mile limit of from 10000 to over
50O,0OO more people than Nebraska
While the fair has and is supposed
be an incentive to greater work
along agricultural lines, it is a great
help in all other lines. The policy Of
the management has been to provide
well-balanced fair in all depart
ments. In addition to offering premi-
ums sufficiently attractive to bring
together splendid displays in the va
rious departments, the amusement
end Is feature which is not for
gotten.
In selecting the amusement fea-
lures the management makes an espe-
cial effort for none but those OF a
clean nature and so in selecting the |
attractions the management seeks to
please the patrons of the fair and |
'cndeavors to send them away without
feeling that some of the things
they have seen should have been left |
out.
The race program has always been |
good one and will be better this |
year than ever. In fact, the manage
ment is seeking TO bring to the fair |
Ia program of races which will ap-
peal to the lovers Of fast horses and |
give them something to talk about |
when they go home.
Automobile racing was inaugurated |

to create greater results next year.
The contests which have been
brought about by reason of the part
the state fair has taken in promoting
contests among the youngsters of the
farm has sometimes taken on phase
which appears ludicrous. Last year
at one of the exhibits given by the
corn growers association, lad of less
than dozen years competed with his
father, who for many years had been
prize winner in the growing of corn
The lad was too much for his dad and
COPIED many prizes.
Such things as these has worked
degree of interest among the boys and
girls on the farm which has done
more to stop the flow of country boys
Omaha daily bee., 1916-08-31

| and girls to the cities than anything
else.
Each year brings to the state fair
some new machinery. Last year the
steam and gasoline tractor for plow-
ing appeared to draw the most inter-
est along the lines of agricultural ma
chinery. What it will be this year re-
mains to be seen.
Gasoline and oil are doing wonder
full things in helping the farmer solve
the hard questions before him. TWEEN
ty years ago, yes, ten years ago, the
farmer was blowing all day behind his
plow and then when evening came he
hitched his tired horses to the old
wagon and went to town to do the
trading, or if he lived too far away,
Omaha daily bee., 1916-08-31

was compelled to spend whole day
in the trip to town.
Now all is different Behind his oil
propelled tractor he plows all day,
turning several burrows at once where
only one was turned under the old
system. After supper is over he goes
to the barn and drives up to the house
with his automobile, and taking in
Mary and the kids drives to town be-
fore the stores are closed, while old
Dobbin and his mate, deprived of the
work of Flooding around and around
the field all day, stand in the cool
barn or feed from the green grass out
in the pasture. Such picture drawn
ten years ago would have caused the
average farmer to shake his head in
Omaha daily bee., 1916-08-31

county exhibits and agriculture had an
inning which will be long remembered
by those who attended the exhibition.
However, the prospects this year
are equally good, and if nothing arises
to prevent the 1916 exhibit OF farm
products will be great.
The bringing in to the state fair of
the county exhibits carries with it a
degree of cooperation which always
tends to give farmers new ideas which
they put into effect. Those in charge
of the different exhibits fraternize and
swap ideas which simply means that
all are benefited by the intercourse.
Then, too, the individual exhibits,
notably those made by the boys and
girls from the farms, have a tendency
Omaha daily bee., 1916-08-31

last year with grand success. Two
half-mile records on a dirt track
were broken when Ramey beat the
hye-Inile record and wild Bill" En-
dicott went twenty-five miles faster
than an automobile had ever gone
before on a half-mile dirt track.
Then there is the music. Music
lovers this year will be especially
pleased. The management has made
selections that cannot but help to
swell the attendance and the music
enthusiast who passes up the state
fair in 1916 will long regret it.
Last year the display Of farm prod
ucts at the state fair was exceptionally
good. Many counties competed in the

disgust and turn from such a vision.
But such things have come to pass,
and as the farmer goes to the Ne
braska state fair he each year derives
some new information which helps
the farm work and the day does not
seem to We very far distant when the
farmer who does not keep a dress coat
and plug hat while his wife has the
latest style evening dress, will not be
recognized as much of farmer.
Just what the agricu1turist is going
to find at the fair this year to make
his life more enjoyable as he goes
along will have to wait until he ar.
rives. However, that there will be
something along improvement lines
can be assured. 49,.

Telephone Policy

1t is the policy of the Lincoln Telephone & Tee-
graph Company to operate along lines that meet
with the approval of the public.
We believe that the people have right to know
what we are doing and why we are doing it, and
we welcome an opportunity to explain the reasons
for any of our policies or practices.
All our accounts are kept in strict accordance
with the instructions of the Interstate Commerce
Commission and the Nebraska State Railway Com
mission so that the public may know at any time
through their governing bodies how much money
we take in and what we do with it.
1t is our aim to use the best and most advanced
equipment, and to render the public the most de-
pendable service of which modern brains and
science are capable. .,
Years Of experience has taught us what it costs
to produce telephone service, and we know that
we are furnishing good service at the lowest pos
sible rates at which such service can be produced
We aspire to win and merit reputation with
the public for furnishing efficient service and for
integrity, courtesy and absolute fairness in all
our dealings.
The Lincoln Telephone and Telegraph System
has attracted the brightest and most capable peo-
pie for each branch Of its work. The training is
thorough and the worker must be especially fit
ted for the position held.
1t is our plan to have all our workrooms health
full and attractive and provide every possible me-
chanical device that will promote efficiency,
speed and comfort.
Good wages, an opportunity for advancement
and prompt recognition of ability is part of the
recognized policy Of the Lincoln Telephone and
Telegraph System.
We strive to assist worthy employees to accum-
ulate by making it easy for them to acquire finan
Omaha daily bee., 1916-08-31

cial interest in the business. Nearly oneAfifth of
all the employees stockholders.
1114OO,0oo local messages and 100000 long
distance messages year are handled by the Com
pany, and the task is ntrusted to 1,085 loyal men
and women.
We are confident that the public welfare is best
served by our constantly making extensions and
improvements to our existing property to meet the
continuing requirements of the public for addi-
tonal service
In order to get new money for these extensions,
it is essential that we pay fair dividends. No man
will put his money in an enterprise unless he is
reasonably sure that it will be safe and that fair
dividends will be paid promptly.
We have absolutely no "watered stock" A
dollar has been invested in physical property for
every dollars worth of securities issued.
There are 1,543 stockholders in the Lincoln
Telephone and Telegraph Company, 202 of whom
are employees and over 1919 residents of
Nebraska. Last year the company paid an
average of only $50 on its outstanding stock and
interest on outstanding bonds at 5 %, but we were
able to set aside only go for depreciation, only
one-half the amount that should be set aside for
that purpose.
The records of our Company upon file at the
State Capitol and in Washington, D. c., show con-
clusivey that our operating expenses are as low
as it is possible to make them and give good serv-
ice to the public, and fair treatment to our en-
ployes. These records also show that our net re-
turns are not sufficient to pay necessary deprec-
iation charges and operating expenses for the
maintenance of our service and leave fair return
upon the capital actually invested in our Company
by the men and women of Nebraska.
These facts are submitted for the unbiased con-
sderation of the citizens of Nebraska, knowing
that we can rely upon them for just verdict and
helpful cooperation.

Editor Hustler:
Some one has used the term "Boos-
ter" as a suitable word to apply -
the u~pbuilding af a town city or coun-
try and Greater Western North Car
Dina clubs seem to have made this
word apply to all words Of praise for
our delightful mountain resorts. There
is nevertheless ome objection to the
using of this WORD so lavishly il
praising SO good a country, as is our
Henderson county and Western North
Carolina.
Boost. boast and booze all come from
tile same root-word, and none of us
think this grand old health-resort
needs to have a boozer, or boaster
babling about it and a booster il
along the same line, if you hold him
strictly to the meaning of his word.
Friends, this mountain city of Hen
Jacksonville and surrounding country,
is too good and desirable to have to
be boozed, or boosted about. Direct
advertising, in a strict business sense,
praising the goods you have to offer.
according to their intrinsic merit, the
hotels, and boarding houses you have
tie roads and streets that run by
them, the street cars that carry 10
your parks and Fairgrounds, the hv-
cry accommodations, and the viands,
fried chicken refreshments and othec
mountain d~elicacies, you a assure
your guests will be on your tables
These are the things that draw men
m and children to mountain
homes. Tell them you are prepared to
give them their moneys worth in the
way of pleasant resting places. COM
Portable quarters, pure water fresh
vegetables, fruits, all in season, then
with clean refined society, social n
religious opportunities at their COM
mand,-do all this and you are strik-
ing direct at what you desire and
what your low country guest is look
ing for.
Of course the Southern Railway
company, the city and the boards o.
trade are all useful in a general way,
but the hotelist. the. keeper of board
ing house. the wne of summer cot
tages for let, and Others along kin
dred lines, will get best results, by
putting their business direct in the
forefront. People will come to you
because they learn Of and know of you
and F4,ow of what you have to offer.
TIC get them here, go after them in
their HOME DAILY PAPERS, when
they get here, go after them in your
LOCAL paper. More anon

WHAT IS A PUBLIC LIBRARY.

If 200, 900 people in North Carolina
we're asked this question the majority
would probably answer that 1t was
what some towns have been able to
persuade Mr.. Carnegie to give them.
In other words, they think a public IL
brary is a Carnegie library building.
If this is an exaggeration it is never
tkeless true that the great majority OF
neoDle consider the building the most
| IMPORTANT part of a library. AS a
matter of fact it is of secondary I'M
portance.
Again. some one will say books,
! hooks IT takes books to make a IL
brarv. and some place to keep them.

J a house was not a home. V e though

have a building and you may nave
,~r1entv of books but the most import
ant element of a real public library Is
cti1I wanting. the librarian. By libra
r,an we do not mean merely a mus
todian of books, but one who knows
library methods and systems, one
WIZ loves books, who knows peopIe
!, and who knows how to bring the rlsh'
hooks and the right people together.
Speaking of library beginnings
Public Libraries says in a recent Is
sue: Gas library building should .bf
the last consideration to receive at
1ention in starting a library. and 1t Is
far the best plan to start with a com

FIVE ACRES FOR REsERVIsT.
Works of California Would Raise Per-
manent Citizen Force of 200, 900.

Works of California Would Raise Per-
manent Citizen Force of 100000.
Senator Works of California intro
duced a bill in the Senate today pro-
posing a mobile land force and mill
tary reserve of 200, 900 men and the
appropriation of $50, OOO,0 OOa year for
ten years to maintain the corps.
The works proposal provides that
each member of the force be settled on
a five acre tract with his family at
Government expense. Senator Works
asks that the force be required to give
ten months of each year to productive
work or reforestation, irritation and
food prevention and two months to
military training. The force would
normally be under control of the Sec
rotary of the Interior but in time of
war the command of the force would
pass to the Wal Department.
In a speech explaining and defend
ing his plan the Senator suggests tina
a million men might be recruited from
the crowded tenement districts of the
cities. He said that the expenses of
his plan could be met by the annual
saving from the flood waste to be eff
fected through irrigation, reclamation
anC reforestation work of his provi-
s:onal army during ten months in the
year.
Senator Works painted a gloomy
picture of a possible invasion by
Asiatics.
81 do not believe we are in danger
of a war;" said he, land believe that
we are in less danger now than at any
time in years, but it may come. When
the prospect is mentioned the specter
of Japan rises to terrorize some OF u
West coast people. There are condi-
tons that may lead to. war at any time.
In California there are enough Japa-
nese to man and destroy every line of
communication from the East, isOla
inc California and depriving her OF
troop and ammunition. Mexico is
open to the entry of the Japanese and
once there it is but a step across an
invisible boundary into the United
States"
Senator Works spoke at great length
and was listened to by a large attend
arce of Senators. Apparently the
plan was an interesting and divertlng
