by the Ne
braska state board of agriculture
that the semi-centennial will be Ne
braska's greatest fair. Elaborate
preparations have been made to
make it so. The fair has been placed
upon a patriotic basis whereby it may
be made to serve the government in
the war crisis. It "has always served
in the nature of a great school of
practical instruction in the Indus
tries upon which Nebraska is based.
This yeai) it is -to serve an even big
ger purpose. It is to be used by the
government in talking to the people
of Nebraska about the sternest mat
ters that we have ever f.n.ced. It will,
by meuns of a great government ex
hibit, bring the people into closer
sympathy with our war activities
and thru the marvelous exhibits of
farm products and live stock promote
a greater enthusiasm for the raising
of ood products.
The coming fair will be the fiftieth
in Nebraska's history. It is fitting
that the semi-centennial should be
in unusual celebration and it will.
Special campaigns have been con
ducted to secure the finest of exhib
its. These will serve as a threat stim
ulus -to the food prod tic ins.' activities
t the state. To make the fair fur
ther attractive there has been book
ed the binKcst program of amuse
ments th:t the fair has ever shown.
The amusement end of the fair ismot
thi' main feature biK the program of
this fall should be an attraction that
will draw a large crowd irrespective
of other attractions.
Camping facilities on the grounds
will be a privilege again extended to
the public and people are urged to
niuke fair week their vacation and to
spend it camping on the grounds.
Camping on the grounds has grown
in popularity year by year and a
large number of families each fall
take advantage of the invitation ex
tended by the fair management.
There is always a large camp in the
bjtys' camp, a regular institution
with the fair. Two boys from each
county In the state are selected to go
to the state fair with their expenses
paid. Their week's work is to see
everything that is to be seen at the
fair, to study the exhibits under the
tutelage of professors from the uni
versity state farm and to have a
week's recreation of the finest sort.
The boys' camp is a popular institu
tion and is practically filled, two or
three counties having failed to make
meir nominations.

Packers' Costs
and Profits
How much do you think
it costs
1. To dress beef, cure hides, and
prepare all the numerous by
products ?
2. To cool thfe meat for two or
three days before shipment?
3. To freight it to all parts of
the country in special refrige
rator cars, iced daily ?
4. , To carry it in hundreds of
branch houses, each with its
refrigerating plant?
5. And to deliver It to the retailer
sweet and fresh in less
than two weeks after dressing ?
Swift & Company did all this
for you in 1917 at an expense of
less than 2V2 cents per pound of
beef sold, including an average
profit of of a cent a pound.
Figure for yourself how little
effect this cost and profit had
on prices you paid for beefsteak.

Get a small package of Hamhurg
Breast Tea, or as the German folks
call it, "Hamburger 15rut Thes," at any
pharmacy. Take a tabb'spoonful of the
tea, put a cup of boiling water upon
it, pour through a sieve and drink a
teacup full at any time during the
day or before retiring. It is the most
effective way to break a cold and cure
grip, as it opens the pores of the skin,
relieving congestion. Also loosens the
bowels, thus breaking up a cold.
Try it the next time you suffer from
a cold or the grip. It is inexpensive
and entirely vegetable, therefore safe
and harmless.

The Whole Harroun Car HAS MADE GOOD
An owner recently wrote:
" the roads are snowy and bad, but the HAR
ROUN sure goes thru just the same. We went
to Cripple Creek last week and the first eleven
miles from the ranch there was no road, but we
made road thru and climbed hills that looked
impossible."
