SEMI.CENTENNIAL
NEbRASkASTATE
FAIR THIS YEAR
Since Its Location at Lincoln
Association Has Built Plant
with Valuation of Half
Million Dollars.

Though Nebraska is celebrating its
Semi Centennial State Fair the first
fair was held in lS5S-just 90 years
ago.
After holding the first fair there
was lapse of ten years before sec
ond venture was undertaken. Since
the one lapse of ten years there has
been fair held each year.
The first fair was held at Nebraska
City and something over $500 in
prizes was offered The report of the
State Board of Agriculture of that
year shows that the venture was not
successful financially, which proba-
bly, accounts for it not being again
attempted for some years. 1t would
seem, however, that outside of hnan-
cial considerations the first fair was
successful and a seed was sown that
was in later years to blossom into
great intuition.
Features of Eafly Premium Lists.
One of the interesting features OF
the first few fairs shown in the
premium lists is the offering of land
as premiums for essays to be written
in encouragement OF the settling on
Nebraska land. As many as twenty
prizes Of parcels of land were offered
in 'one year. AS compared with pres
ent offerings of premiums amounting
to over $4,000, the few hundreds of
dollars offered the first few years
seems Insignificant, yet many acres
of land that is now valued in figures
around $500 per acre was given and
prizes of the early days would now
mean fortunes. The country at that
time, though, was "land poor" and it
is unlikely that the land offerings
were any more keenly competed tor
than the cash prizes now offered:
The history of the state fair IS re-
plete with frequent shifting from one
town to another, it being the custom
each year for such towns as wished to
secure the fair to make bid for it.
offering certain financial inducements.
After the offers by the various towns
were made the State Board OF Ag..
riculture in its annual meeting voted
upon the location for the next fair.
Consequently, the fair was kept un-
decided as to where it belonged. This
continued for more than 80 years. to
the detriment of the institution.
Lincoln Wins Permanent Location.
During the last few years immed..
lately preceding 1900 the moving OF
the fair developed into a rivalry be-
tween Omaha and Lincoln. all other
towns being eliminated. Finally. in
1900, the fair was permanently locat-
ed at Lincoln.
Until this final locating Of the fair
no improvements in way of grounds
and equipment were justified and the
fair suffered accordingly. Since
1900 a permanent plat has been de-
.veloped with value Of half million
dollars. The grounds have been made
increasingly attractive each year and
bid for larger patronage. 1t is sig
nihcant that large part OF the prop
.erty on the grounds has come from
profits of the fair. Some buildings
represent state appropriations but for
every dollar spent by the state sew
eral more have been spent by the fair.
The state fair is one of the few
state owned institutions that has add
ed to the wealth OF the state by build
ing up a plant of value as we'll as doing
a great work in behalf of industrial
Nebraska.

MEN IN IDAHO MUST WORK,
FIGHT OR BE DEPORTED

The state council of defense does
not propose to tolerate idleness
among labor agitators to ferment
troubk by holding out for unfair and
unreasonable wages because labor is
short. The executive committee of
the council has instructed al county
councils to closely watch the labor
situation. If aliens are found agi-
tating and attempting to create un-
rest while they refuse to work, they
are to be reported and the council
will recommend to the federal officers
they be deported forthwith. If men
within the draft age fail to work
when work is offered to them, they
will be recommended for immediate
reclassification so that they can go
into cantonments and be trained to
fight. If men above the draft age
are offered work and refuse to take
it at fair going wages they are to be
prosecuted under the vagrancy law.
The state is to be carefully combed
from end to end so that all idle hands
are put to work. or to actual fighting.

SANDWICHES WANTED FOR
RED CROSS SALE SATURDAY Y

In addition to the lemonade, pop
corn, peanuts, ice cream and candies
to be sold on Saturday, the refresh
ment committee has decided to add a
great quantity of sandwiches to the
list. Every woman in Moscow is
cordially invited to contribute one
dozen sandwiches to the refreshment
committee. The sandwiches are
wanted by 10 O'Clock sharp on Sat
urday morning. Those who wish to
contribute some may bring them to
the headquarters for the sale, the
Miller building, on the corner of Main
and Third; or, they may be left with
C. E. Bolles at the Corner Drug
store. About four hundred sand
wiches to be sold at 10 cents each
will be something like meeting the
committees ambitions in this direc-
ton.

AUCTION SALE WILL
Be A BIG SUCCESS
SCORES OF ARTICLES DONATED
FOR SATURDAYS AUCTION
AND MORE COMING

Prospects are brilliant for a record
attendance and record bidding at the
mammoth Red Cross auction to be
held Saturday, on Third and Main
streets from 1890 to o'clock, and
bets are being made and taken that
the cashier of the day will carry off
$4,000 to the treasury of the Red
Cross.
While most of the donations are
small, the great number of contrib
utors will help to swell the total Of
cash sales. Solicitors in town and
country report universal success. It
is pointed out by Chairman Wilson
that it will be very difficult for the
auctioneer to handle donations of
butter, and those who have promised
one or more pounds of butter are
asked to substitute cream or some
other product. There will be no re-
frigerator on the auction stand, and
it will be impossible to keep butter in
good condition during sale on a
hot summer day.
A gratifyingly large number of
sheep and pigs have been offered for
sale and they will attract many bid
ders. 1t is rumored that there is to
be some very interesting bidding on
the handsome town lot, located on
D street, just east of the H. R.
Smith residence. Those who have not
seen this property are invited to in
spect it before the sale.
Parties as far away as Tekoa are
coming to the sale to bid on Mr..
Williamson's donation of 80 acres,
for the land is we'll and favorably
known in that neighborhood, and sew
eral persons there consider they
would be snap at 81, 200.
Liberty" is the highly appropriate
name of a beautiful thoroughbred
five-months'- filly of the coach
type, donated by Miss May Brown,
daughter of C. w. Brown. Liberty"
comes from the famous Brown
stables, and is a gift that ought to
realize a very handsome sum for the
Red Cross.
Real patriotism and enthusiasm
for the boys "over there" is displayed
by GERRY" the popular popcorn man.
He not only has donated the use Of
his wagon during the sale hours, but
has offered his business outright to
the Red Cross during that time. He
will conduct his business just as usual
and every cent taken in will be turned
over in gross to the women who have
in charge the refreshment stand
"Jerry's" is the only business in
Moscow which has been put entirely
at the disposal of the Red Cross
auction.
No hams have been offered. If
any are contributed they will sell for
fine sums.
Garden hose, lawn mowers, tools,
and household furniture are especial
ly desired. Nothing will be refused.

THIRTY PER CENT
ARE NATIVE SONS
INTERESTING STATISTICS RE-
GARDING SOLDIERS WHO ARE
AT THE UNIVERSITY

The Star Mirror is under obliga-
tions to Lieutenant E. B. Hanna, U
S. A., who is assisting with the work
of training the 100 men enlisted for
special war work who are taking
training at the University of Idaho,
for some very interesting statistics
as to the nativity, aged and conditions
of the enlisted men. Lieutenant
Hanna has prepared this list care
fully and it has required much work.
Following are the facts as CLEANED
by him:
First of interest is the fact that 80
of the 100 are native born Idahoans.
This is just 80 per cent of the totai.
Kansas comes next with II and Iowa
is close third, with 10. Seven of
them were born in Utah and 7 in
Washington. Five are Missorians,
and each were born in Illinois,
Minnesota and Nebraska. Ohio, So.
Dakota, Colorado and Oregon are
each the native states of 2 of the men,
while Michigan, Maryland, Montana,
Wisconsin, Georgia, Wyoming, Penn
sylvania and Texas each claim L.
Three of them were born Canada.
Of the 100 men in the training
school but 23 are married and n are
unmarried, which will be cheering
news for the young ladies of Mos
COW. The men are all young, the
average age of the 100 being % years
and three months.
The men are taking to the work
with energy and enthusiasm and Cap
tain Edgington and his assistants are
delighted with the personnel of the
men and the prospects for making
a company of skilled workmen who
will be credit to the state and the
institution. "Fine, fine" was the en-
thusiastic answer of Captain Edging
ton when asked by The Star-Mirror
reporter about the men and how they
are taking to the work.

Y. N. c. A. WORKERS
ARE WANTED NOW
FRANCIS JENKINS is APPOINT
ED RECRUITING OFFICER
FOR LATAH COUNTY
~

Latah county is asked to furnish
10 men for Y. M. c.. A. work, either
in the United States or overseas, the
latter preferred. The men are needed
now, and Francis Jenkins, bursar Of
the University of Idaho, has been ap-
pointed recruiting officer for Latah
county by R. G. White, recruiting
secretary for eastern Washington and
northern Idaho. Mr.. Jenkins has
been asked to secure 10 men from
Latah county for this work and to
get them just as soon as possible,
and he has asked the newspapers of
Latah county and the ministers to
take up the work of assisting in get
ting these men.
The work requires intelligence,
cleanliness and fair education. 1t
requires good physique and cour-
age. Men from 33 to so will be taken.
No one within the draft age can
enter the service unless he shall have
been rejected from the draft for some
minor physical defect, such as being
short on fingers or defective sight
of one eye, which would reject him
for military service, but would not
interfere with his work for the Y. M.
G. A.
Ministers of Latah county are
asked to mention this matter from
their pulpits, and Latah county news
papers are asked to give publicity to
the need of such men for immediate
service. The pay for overseas work
will be double that of soldier, and
uniform will be furnished, as well
as travelling expenses. Applicants
must pass a rigid examination much
along the same lines as the exam
ination for the draft. Men who co
not use tobacco Or liquor are pre-
ferred. Applicants must have good,
clean characters and be prepared to
go where and when ordered. 1t is
hoped that 10 men suitable for this
work will be secured at once. 1t is
not desired to take ministers as there
has been a heavy drain on the min
istry; nor is it desired to take teach-
ers, of which there is a great short
age now in the United States. All
applications should be made to Fran
els Jenkins, bursar, at the University
of Idaho.
