HTATK FA IK KNTKltTAINS MJIOWV HAW1 IN HISTORY IOI Something over 14.000 more peo 4e attended the state fair this year than has been recorded at any pre vious one. It was feared that the war and other conditions incident thereto might militate against a large atten dance this year, but these fears proved groundless, in many instances and exhibits were better than here to fore and in most cases much nfore elaborate. The hog exhibit was the greatest in tha history of the Nebras ka state fairs, the new hog barn with its modern equipment and more than 722 pemi being largely an incentive for the splendid showing this year, liren the new swine quarters were taxed to the limit, and the fair man agement was compelled to go outside af the barn to secure room for the everflow of around 140 pens. trants Into the navy and nr r'ne corps and provide for drafts of men to be assigned to those services if volun tary inductions do not suffice to fill the demands, i ll for men will go out before the end of this month and mar ine corpo contingents will he called within a few weeks.

Putnam of New loa ass., an Amer.can Ace, credited with twelve victories, was killed late Wednesday afternoon while on pat roll duty ulong the American lines with the American army on the Lor rane front. In order to ascertain as nearly an possible actual conditions relatlvo to the use of foreign languages in Ne braska, the State Council on Ameri ranlzation of foreigners has been con ducting an investigation. The council Is composed of Ret. John Williams, Omaha; Carl H. Gustafson. Lincoln; John E. Miller, Lincoln; F. W. C. Jesse. Seward: W. V. Allen, Mudison Father Theobald Kalamnja, Omaha; Chris Gruntber, Columbus: Ed. H. Coufal. David City; Fred Nye, Fre mont. By Invitation of the council a con vention was held, commencing Mon day of thh week, In Representative Hall in the Capitol building at which it is estimated there were present live hundred persons representing churches and schoolB thrueut the State Ooatnnaad of foreign speaking people. The question to be settled were whether the use of foreign Ian gUOgea should be permitted In tonal Ing in church schools, In preaching services and in giving religious in I rust ion. A number of spCAkCM were heard nearly all of whom ma le a favorabk Impression upon ihe minds of those Who were pre.u ni merely i s snacta tors. some preaeal bad the idea than movement on foot to prevent the me of foreign I ngu: ;; and iia nv we i Ittrre to protect nnd to proaent argument why this should not bo done. Some were somewhat definnt and Inclined to :;tand upon the right! which they said were I uoranteed ty ;h s:,iie con .tltution Others s;id they had tried conseien- tiously to Comply with tho wishes of the state and OOUOty COUncfM pf de fense : nil were unable to do this Without depriving old men. Iters of their cfaurchea of rellr.Ious Instruc tion. Small children who ootfld not peak Engl is ti wtri also deprived of much valuable hra ruction that might get them started on the way to full-fledged American ideas of citi zenship, acci ding to some spe,.kii. mi thro the I iks of ttm.; n preeent ing foreign languages rin atone of protest a gainst force in making changes la tho habits ami eustomi of the foreign-born. It was redrred by till I bat l inn t'ed t o . olve t he forolga laaga go problem and that time is doing tins and litis done it in many localities where foreign lan guage churches are disappearing and being turned into BngHoh speaking COOgrentloOS. It was also shown that foreign languages are dying out in families and will soon be a thing of the ptist. It WM argued by n v.kers that older members of IbffOlga -hurches connot be taught English. Their child ten are usually educated' in English but oftOO learn the mother tongue of their parents, and thus the child ren become a bridge between the old and the new generatiTms. When the children refuse to learn the langu age of their parentB, the children cease to attend church services in a foreign language. Thus there i a division of families in church work. The older people who cannot under stand English sufficiently to get any benefit from a sermon or religious instruction in English, they stay at home. But If separate services are held for the older people, the parents must bring the young one wi-th them if theV live in the country, and the young are deprived of the benefit of the service. Some of the speakers for the for eign born said the QOOgUoa of loyalty to this country could not be raised because their congregations were loy al citiens and had contributed liber ally of their moans and their sous to the winning of the war. Nebraska's quota for the fourth liberty loan, to be launched Septem ber 21, will be twice the amount of the quota for the third The announcement wra mr.de Sat urday night by E. F. Foldu. secretary ol the state committee, through the committee's publicity department. Although the liberty loan organiza tion here Is not permitted bv the treasury department to innounce definite figures, the statement that tbe quota will be double that of the third loan, was regarded rs Justin able in order to prepare the public for the demands that will be made. Nebraska's quota for the last drive was $31,942,800. Twice the amount Will be 963.886.600. It baa been generally believed for some time by members of the state committee that Nebraska's quota would be around $6!., 000,000 Douglas county's quota for the third drive was $6,081,600. Twice that amount would make $10,163,- 200 for this county to raise. 1 It is believed, however, that Doug las county will have a little more than twice the third quota for he coming drive. Following are the three state meet ings to be held by Byrne and Folda this week: Monday, September 16 Norfolk. eounty chairmen of Seventh and Eight districts. i Wednesday, September 18 Hol dredge county chairmen of Third and Fourth districts Friday, September 20 Alliance, ruunty chairmen of the First district. In announcing that Nebraska's quota will be twice that of the third drive, Mr. Folda said: "Nebraska hsn never failed in any requests made on it by the government. It m will not fail now.
