OPENS ITS DOORS TO PUBLIC TODAY

The Fifth Annual Morrow County
Fair throws open its doors this morn
ing. Old Man Gloom has been COM
pletely routed and the pessimist has
been unseated for the fifth annual
time. From present indications the
crowds will be the largest in the his
tory of Morrow county fairdom and
the exhibits will be up to the stand
ard of former years.
Decorations everywhere are pa
triotic in nature and carry out the
idea that was first intended for the
celebration this year. Seriousness
will mingle with mirth and while the
host Of visitors will be entertained
the fact that the country is at war and
the duty confronting every citisen
will not for one minute be lost sight
of.
In the exhibit pavilion a large
number of the old exhibitors are COM
ing in again for more blue ribbons
and they will find competition in the
new exhibitors. C. A. Minor, who for
the past two years has had three
special booths, will make an elabor-
ate display Of flowers this year in ad-
dition to showing large quantities of
farm products. Jack Hynd of Cecil
is putting in wealth of specimens of
products from the Butterfly Flats
ranch which will dispel the idea from
the minds of many that there was a
drought in Morrow county this year.
A new exhibitor in special way
will be Andy Cook. Mr.. Cook is
showing four varieties Of potatoes,
field corn, pumpkins, squashes, sor-
ghum and other garden stuff.
Like all former years, there is a
grand rush to place exhibits at the

SOMETHING WORTH WHILE
TO CONSIDER ANY TINE
lBy James F. O'Brien J

In these war days when the
preaching of patriotism and loyalty
in general, and when 1t is truly said
that the farmer who raises a good
crop is almost as helpful in winning
the war as the soldier who goes to the
front, the following suggestion may
not be amiss. Let the school teachers
of this state, in addition to incul-
of the children, also teach them 10y
atty to Nevada the state in which they
live. Prove TO them hat Nevada
offers advantages that are ~equalled
by few of those states which are so
generously advertised as earthly par
adises.
Teach the children that portions
of this state have a climate superior
to that of the famed Riviera and that
there are hot springs here equally as
good as the widely known hot springs
of Arkansas.
Tell them that Prof. Campbell,
who is perhaps the worlds greatest
soil culture expert. stated that Neva-
da has some of the best and most
productive land he has ever seen.
Tell them that Eugene Grub, who
probably knows more about potatoes
than any other man. is loud in his
praises of the Nevada tuber-and
that better than sixteen tons to the
acre have been raised near Dayton.

in the Levers orchard neal Reno are

of such superior quality that the en-
tire output some years ago was
bought for and shipped to Queen Vic
toria OF England.
Tell them that James b. Haggin,
the noted horseman, at about the
same time. took all the hay from a
nearby ranch and shipped il by ex-
press to feed his thoroughbred horses
in Kentucky. whose blue grass is
famed in story and song.
Tell them that celery grown at
Hawthorne is SO tender and crisp,
with such excellent flavor. that for
years it was all bought by the Palace
hotel of San Francisco which is
known the world over.

Adams, without previous farming ex-
ferience, and without interfering
with his duties as pastor of hte .Bap-
fist church and as probation officer
Melted nearly $500 per acre last year
from his little farm on the outskirts

pride that is too frequently lacking
in their elders. Ii will aid in in
