STATE FAIR At
LINCOLN READY
FOR THE START
Many improvements Are Noted
as the Opening Day,
September First,
Draws Near.
From a Staff Correspondent.

s Lincoln, Aug. 30.-(Speclal.)-
Everything is nearly completed tor
the opening of the Nebraska State
fair IS far as the Improvements to
the grounds are concerned. These I'M
provements have been very extensive
and include, besides the new swine
barn, the changing of the track en-
frances to the grounds.
The swine barn is real thing OF
beauty and places the hog in posi-
hon where he will probably be the
.nvy of all other stock. The huge
barn. which is all cement and steel,
is 355 feet long and 242 feet wide.
The pens are of steel and there are
722 of them. In the center OF the
barn has been erected four seating
oavilions which will accommodate
about $50 people each.
Canopy Top Station.
The new street car. entrance is pro-
vided with a canopy top and gives
room for six entrances and about
as many exits. The loop gives room
for the loading of six cars at the
same time, which is something deslr-
able in handling the big crowds. The
railroad tracks run alongside the
swine barn so that the stock is un-
loaded directly into the barn.
Already reservations have been
asked for Is more swine exhibits
than there are pens and it will be
necessary to double up on some of
the larger pens.
Big Tractor Exhibit.
The tractor and truck exhibit at
the fair this year bids fair to be the
greatest exhibit ever made in the
western part of the United States, II
not anywhere on the continent. Sec
retary Danielson says that it is use
less to attempt to describe what peo-
pie will behold along this line. for
entries and arrivals already here in
dicate that there has been nothing
like it anywhere.
Sixteen counties have already en-
tered for the collective county agri-
cultural exhibit, indicating that the
agricultural display will be fully up
to the standard.
The fair will have its informal
opening on Sunday, September !,
which will be Pershing Day. Music
and patriotic speaking will be the or
der, both afternoon and evening.

GIRLS! USE LEMONS
FOR sUNBURN, TAN
Try Il! Make this lemon lotion
to WhIten your tanned or
freckled skin.


Squeeze the juice of two lemons
into bottle containing three ounces

you have quarter pint of the best
freckle, sunburn and tan lotion, and
complexion whitener, at very, very
small cost.
Your grocer has the lemons and

quickly the freckles, sunburn, wind
burn and tan disappear and how clear,
soft and white the skin becomes. Yes!
1t is harmless.-Adv.

Burgess. Mash Tape Windows
In True Partisan Fashion

The big plate glass in one of the
Sixteenth street show windows OF the
Burgess-Nash company has been
"taped"-reproducing the way Paris
merchants protected their windows
against the Huns long distance guns.
Authorities advised the use of paper
tape carefully and tightly glued on the
inside of the windows in some diagon-
al shape to take up,the bending stres-
ses of the glass surface.
The Parisians'followed the instruc-
tions, and as a result there is today in
Paris no end to weird window designs
which lend a new touch to the city's
stores.

Danish idleness.

I%dleness, rather than the love of
money, is the root of all evil, and I'M
cheerfulness is n of the shoots from
the root, asserts the Los Angeles
Times. There is no such thing as idle
ness in nature. The worlds that gilt
ter in the arch of the heavens are ever
moving. The moon never stays in one
place. The restless sea means in and
out over the harbor bar. The rivers
gurgle and plash as they journey to
the sea. The trees change their cos
tune twice a year and grow a little
every hour of every day in the year.
The birds never roost at MONDAY, and
man is the only animal who oversleeps
himself. "a contented mind is a con-
tinual feast" and the worker, whether
he labors with brain or Drawn, who
finds delight in his work, who sings as
he cheerfully lifts the hammer or
laughs as he pens the thought that
M to him, is happy and content.

OUR LINE OF DEFENSE.

The Food Administration makes
an urgent appeal for still greater
savings in wheat flour and wheat
products, our State Administrator
sending bis orders to our parish Off
cial, Mr.. G. Williamson, who is EN-
powered to enforce them.
Not more than one and one-half
pounds of wheat products per per-
son can be used week, that is not
more than one and three fourths
pounds of victory bread containing
the required percentage of substi-
tute and about one half pound of
cooking flour. macaroni. crackers,
pastry, pies, cakes and wi eat cere-
ais all combined. No limit is put
upon the use of other cereal flours
meal, corn, barley. buckwheat, po-
tato flour etc.
Hotels, restaurants. retail grocers
bakers, etc. must follow this order
and with co-opera
ton, sacrifice and patience, we, in
the home trenches can do our part
in checking the German advance.
