AGRICULTURAL
SHOW TO REPLACE
K-SAR-bEN FETE
Nash Announces That Perma-
nent Farm and Live Stock
Exposition Will Replace
Annual Fall Festival.

A permanent agricultural and live
stock exposition, to replace the an
nual Ak Sar-Ben carnival, is the big
Boost Omaha" project to be spon-
sored BY the Ak-Sar-Ben board of
governors, according to an an
nouncement made yesterday by Louis
c. Nash, member of the board of
governors of Ak-Sar-Ben.
Z The practicability of obtaining a
site large enough and yet sufficiently
adjacent to the city and transporta-
ton lines was discussed at meet
ing of the governors held Saturday
night at the Omaha club.
Great enthusiasm greeted the pre-
.sentation Of Mr.. Nash's plan, on
which he has been working for a
long time. The exposition grounds
should fill the need for circus
grounds and other large outdoor ex-
hibitions, according to the plans. A
committee, Of which Walter w.
Head is a member, was appointed
to make preliminary plans as to
finances and other important details.
Great for Omaha.
"The agricultural and live stock
exposition ought to be the biggest
thing for Omaha that Ak-SarBen
has ever brought. about. Such an
undertaking is the logical thing for
Omaha, because, while we may not
all push the pillow or raise live stock,
our prosperity depends on these
great industries" said Mr.. Nash.
"Once we have our exposition
started, it ought to bring half a mil
lion people to Omaha. Our exposi
ton will in no way conflict with the
Lincoln state fair, as the dates will
be different and the show will have
different features. sWhile there will
be no direct return to Omaha BUSH
ness men who invest funds to insure
the success of the exposition, the in
direct benefits will be enormous"
Whether the big exposition can be
planned in time for 1919 Ak-Sar-Ben
festivities cannot yet be determined.
If arrangements cannot be COM
pleted, the carnival will once more
have its last showing in Omaha.
