NEW LINES LAID
FOR STATE GUARD
Reorganization of State Troops
Mong Different Plan Made
Necessary by Trench Sys
tem of Warfare.
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Neb., Sept. 2. (Special.)
Reorganization of the National
Guard under new ideas will be af
fccted under regulations which have
reached the headquarters of the Ne
braska guard.
The new organization will be made
under the act of June 3, 1916, which
provides for more effectual oro
visions for national defense," and by
the act of May 18, 1917, providing
"temporary' increase in the military
estaonsnment ot the United States."
It is pointed out that "trench war
fare has outgrown the older method
of fighting and also that divisions are
entirely to large for the present way
M handling men. Therefore the in-
tantry brigade will consist of but two
regiments of infantry, a' machine gun
company and sanitary troops in place
of three regiments of infantry.
The infantry line company under
tne new plan .will be composed of a
captain, three first lieutenants and
two second lieuteants and will com
pose 250 men of which sixty-four are
first class privates with eighteen
sergeants and thirty-three cornorals.
The company will be divided into
four platoons commanded by the lieu
tenants. In v-ach platoon are four
sections, each section being drilled
in a particular line of fighting. Present
National Guard-organizations as soon
as camps are ready for them will be
brought under the new plan.

INDICATIONS ARE
FAIR HUGE SUCCESS
Concession Men and Exhibitors
by Hundreds Throng Grounds
on First Day of Prepara
tion for Show.
STATE FAIR ATTENDANCE.
1917. 1916.
Sunday 9,651 8,842
AUTOS.
Sunday 1,330 931
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Sept. 2. (Special.) The
state fair grounds 7was a busy' place
today. Exhibitors were bringing their
exhibits and getting them in place,
concessioners were getting their
stands up and their goods arranged
in the most attractive way, stockmen
were unloading fine looking cattle
an dhorses and driving them to the
barns, but the busiest place of all
was the quartestretch inside the race
track, where Hagenbeck & Wallace
were trying to get their big circus
in shape without having to put up
the tents. The show will be given
without tents and the managenmcnt
has the problem before it of building
a showp lace all out of doors with
no canvas above.
Headquarters of the officials of the
fair was exewded. Exerybody wants
to see the officials first and but one
at a time can be accommodated and
as a result there was a linj of wait
ing concession men, exhibitors and
others who must have transportation
through the gates, as long as the
line to the ticket office at a world's
base ball series.
Everybody is predicting a big fhir,
the biggest history of the association,
and if the "day before" may be taken
as an indication of what the following
days will be, good weather to help,
will make this year's exposition a
record breaker.
Some exhibits are already in place
and attracting much attention. The
exhibit of the Nebraska Dairy and
Creamery Improvement association is
us usual the center of attraction. This
year the butter statue is representa
tive of the "Spirit of 76 as shown
in the well known painting of that
name. The sculptor, J. E. Wallace,
has fairly eclipsed all his former
works irf his modeling of the char
acters shown in that famous picture
of the Revolution. The three fig
ures, representing 'the old grand
father, the son and the grandson with
the fife and two drums, are nearly
life size and entirely of butter from
state university cows. The only de
parture from the original picture is
the more modern title, which is given
it, "The Spirit of 1917 and 1776,"
carved on the base of the statue.
Newspaper men will be well taken
care of this year by the Nebraska
Manufacturers association. Commis
sioner Frank Ringer of the association
has established headquarters of the
Nebraska Press association in the
manufacturers' building aiyl with the
aid of the Remington typewriter peo
ple has planted a battery of eight
typewriters therein, with plenty of
tables, chairs, papers, etc., for the use
of the scribes who come to the fair.
Big Line of Attractions.
There is every indication that with
the greatest line of attractions the
fair has ever known, if it is not a suc
cess, it will be because the people of
the state failed to attend.
The hospital tent, heretofore in
charge of the hospital company of the
Nebraska National Guard, is absent
this year because of war activities of
the Guard. However, the Lincoln
Sons of Veterans camp has erected
Wa
three tents on the former location
and has placed doctors and nurses in
charge, where old veterans and others
who need care can be taken care of
free of charge.

We are informed that at some cafes, restaurants
and gardens beer and strong drinks have been
sold under the guise of the popular soft drink
Bevo.
'These reports have been confirmed sufficiently to
compel us to take action.
The beverage Bevo enjoys the protectionof both
federal and state authority. In preparing it for
sale and in, marketing it, we adopt every possible
precaution to protect the public against imposi
tion and to prevent evasion of the law. Bevo is
sold in bottles only, we bottle all of it ourselves,
.and wc have adopted a kind of bottle, crown and
seals designed to prevent imitatioa
We shall omit no measure within our power to
defend the authority under which Bevo is
manufactured and sold, to protect the public from
imposition, and to safeguard the good name of this
Association
We therefore give fair warning that we shall refuse
to sell our products to those who are found guilty
of the above offense.
