STRIKE HALTS SHIP REPAIRS
Workers Want More Pay for Getting
Interned Steamers Ready.

Washington, Aug. 1.-THE govern
ment repairs on the interned German
steamships seized at the opening of
the war is virtually at a standstill,
owing to a general strike of metal
trades union men.
When this situation was called to
the attention of Frank Morrison, sec
retary of the American Federation Of
Labor, he said '1t is manufacturers
and shipbuilders who pay low wages
and work their men long hours who
are to blame. The cost of living goes
up So week, and when the men ask
for dollar raise they are called un-
patriotic. We don't propose to have it
put over U.s."

+" The Nebraska State F0ir''
Bye. r. Danielson, Secretary Nebraska State
Board of Agriculture

brought together in competition an
nually. In order to give the unini-
tiated some idea of the enormity of
this industry it is sufficient to say
that our entries for the year 1916
were approximately 400 head of
horses, which received the sum of
81, 500 in premiums; 1896 entries in
cattle, which received $1,000 in pre-
miums; 1,500 head of swine, which
took back to the farms with them $3,-
500 in premiums; 440 head of sheep,
carrying away some 81, 100 in pre-
niums; i,643 individuals in the poul-
try department drew from the fair
treasury the sum of $1.124.
All Must Raise Stock.
In order that the world may be
supplied with meat it behooves every
farmer in the state of Nebraska to
raise the animal or animals of the
highest degree of efficiency which
can produce the greatest num-
Der of pound of meat from the
high-priced grains and products of
our soil. In conjunction with our ex-
hibits of pure bred live stock comes
the pure breeding of our agricultural
products, of which exhibit, in Our
agricultural hall, Nebraska claims the
right of leading. In this class of
farm products is found the best in all
lines of vegetables, small grains and
forage and grasses raised in Ne
braska from the Missouri river to the
Colorado line and from Kansas to
South Dakota. In your rounds of the
grounds this fall you will miss one OF
the greatest treats of your life should
you overlook this agricultural ex-
hibit, housed in the big agriculture
horticulture hall along with the best
there is of fruits and flowers pro-
duced in the state, where in 1916 there
were over 1000 entries with pre-
MUM outlay of $4,55390.
Hours of Labor.
To make a creditable exhibit in any
of the departments contained in the
making of such big fair it is neces-
sary for the individual to spend many
hours of patient labor, not only for
a short time previous to the opening
of the fair, but in some cases these
same exhibitors are working nearly
twelve months in each year, for as
soon as they are through with one
years show they Immediately lay
plans for the coming year.
The dairy industry. which has
grown so rapidly in Nebraska during
the last ten years, should be COM
mended by the people of this great
state, as under proper management
Omaha daily bee., 1917-08-30

it has brought more wealth to them
each succeeding year. The dairy ex-
hibit is one of the constantly gtow-
ing departments and to the State
Dairymen's association we owe much
credit for this condition and we feel
justified in saying that the fair visi-
tors will find something new in the
dairy exhibit this year, as they have
found to be the case in the past,
Domestic Products.
In the domestic produc; we hope
to see exemplifed some of the lessons
now being taught over the whole
country. Not so much in the baking
of bread, cakes, etc, for we know
in these arts the women of Nebraska
need no improvement, but in the mat
ter of canning and preserving we
hope the information being scattered
broadcast throughout the United
States, as to the grave necessity for
preserving all the food we can, will
be taken to heart and that the women
will bring to the fair their best ef-
forts along these lines. Would it not
bsa a good idea to have, in conjunc-
ton with this exhibit, some plan by
which these good women can ex-
change ideas, taking from each other
all helpful suggestions for the future
preservation of the foods we may
need later? In Class H>last year we
had 1,434 entries and paid $365 in
premiums.
Women's Department.
Regardless of the high cost of livA
ing and particularly the high cost of
all fabrics used In the many mysteri-
ously contracted articles on display
in the women's department, this par
ticular portion of the Nebraska State
fair continues to flourish more each
year. It would be of no use to at
tempt to describe the many beautiful
things on display in Class J, the only
way is to go and see them and this
advice is certainly followed by the
lady visitors to the fair for this in
teresting exhibit in the old agricul-
tural hall is almost constantly SUR
rounded by crowd of spectators and
not only the women but the men as
well, seem to enjoy it. Last year
we had over $500 entries, and paid
out nearly 5000 in premiums. Class
K, Fine Arts, is another department
where much Interest is always dis
played, and in which we have both
men and women exhibitors. In 1916
there were 796 entries, and $433.70
was paid them in premiums.
On of the finest exhibits at the
fair is that of Class L, the educational
department. On the balcony of the
new Agriculture Horticulture hall will
be found one of the best exhibits of
school work in the United States.
There were over 1900 entries last
year, with premiums paid of -$582.75,
and we trust that the only change this
year will be toward improvement as
Omaha daily bee., 1917-08-30

we want Our schools represented in
this great educational institution.
Better Babies.
One of the most interesting depart
ments at the fair is known as Better
Babies" Requests are alredy com
ing in from mothers who are desirouS
of entering their children in this con
test, which has for its object the edu-
cation of the mother along lines that
will be helpful to her in the rearing
of the future men and women of Ne
braska.
We are expecting our races at the
coming State fair to be very interest
ing, our early closing events have
shaped themselves in good condition
and we know that you will be pleased
with the daily program scheduled
Over $1,000 for harness and team
races and $3.50 for running races is
being offered.
Boys Camp.
OF the other departments Of the fair
let us say briefly that the boys camp
which is one of the best places ir
which your boy could spend a week
and where he will receive only the
best of influence and training, the
University building and the FISH ex-
hibit, will all be ready for your
inspection and enjoyment the opening
day of the fair and we hope you will
slight none of them. Our automobile
exhibit is stupendous affair, in which
the best products of the genius of
mankind are arrayed for your pleasure
and inspection. We want you to see
them all.
One of the most pleasant vacations
some of the people in Nebraska plan
is to spend a week at the fair and
camp on the grounds. We have an
ideal camping space, with plenty of
shade and everything possible will be
done to make the stay of such 7is-
itors pleasant.
Proud of Institution.
The management of the Nebraska
State fair feels perfectly confident that
the people of this great state are a

For the past sixteen years the Ne
braska State fair has had a perma-
nent home just north of the limits
of the city of Lincoln and has been
held under the auspices of the Ne
braska State Board of Agriculture.
This board wishes to announce,
through its board of managers and
secretary, that every effort is being
made upon its part to make the state
fair of 1917 the largest and best in its
history.
Preparations are now in full swing
to put in fine shape the grounds, con-
tanning some eleven acres, with ex-
tensiye walks and good streets and
with thirty-ive buildings covering
515,496 square feet under roof, to
house the mammoth exhibits which
are expected to be contained therein
during the week of September 2-7.
Big Institution.
That the Nebraska State fair is a
big financial undertaking no one will
deny. Since this fair has been such
success the great truth of our next
statement must be apparent to all
that "the people of the state of Ne
braska" are the responsible financial
hackers of this great institution and
through their attendance we must win
our way to further success or we
must fail. The Nebraska State fair
belongs to the people of this state
and the officers and members of the
Sta.e Board of Agriculture feel con-
fdent the people will support the fair
this fall under the present conditions
as we'll as the people of Canada, in
spite of the war, have supported their
fairs and expositions, breaking all at
tendance and exhibit records in the
year 1916. ...-
Since permanently locating the Ne
braska State fair on its present site
in 1901 the State Board of Agricul-
ture has received from legislative ap-
preparations the sum of $248,500 for
buildings and improvements on the
grounds. In this same period we
have paid out for premiums the sum
of $369, 5000. Our total disburse-
ments during this time have been ST.
067,e7248, of which amount $685.
3o3.04 was for permanent improve
ments paid out of the fair receipts.
Greatest Industry.
One of Nebraska's greatest assets
is its live stock industry and a visit
to the exhibits of this department will
convince the most skeptical that Ne
braska has the right to be justly
proud of the "blue bloods" that are
