IHy5i5ytrre7rg3W'yiy XI The County Fair a Great Success When loss than a dozen men held meeting one day in July and decided to organize a county fair association and bold a fair in September, thoy realized that they were handicapped by the lateness in the season in whicii they launched the- project. But the men who were behind the project wore those who do things; they boosted with thpt energy which spells success. They enlisted tho assistance of live wire farmers in all sections of the county; they devoted time, which be longed to their business, to the fair, and chief among theso were W. W. Blrge, president of the associotion, and W. P. Snyder, manager. Tho result of this push and energy is evidenced by the splendid fair which opened Wednes day morning and closes this evening, n fair in which 'thero are agricultural and stocK exhibits that challenge com petition; an exhibition that visitors to Lincoln this fall say comparo favor ably with those at the state fair. If such exhibits can be collected on brfef notice and without preparation, what may we expect next fall when farmers will have the full season to prepare their exhibits? That in a dry season such a wonder ful collection of agricultural exhibits could be assembled is a great surprise to all; not only a surprise, but a pleas ure, for it is evident that Lincoln county was not so hard hit as was generally supposed. No finer corn, wheat, oats and barley wero ever exhibited in the county, and some of theso corn samples come from fields of 100 and 160 acres each and the samples are but little better than the average of the fields. Could the farmers of tho boasted "corn belt" of Nebraska see this exhibit they would conclude that Lincoln county, decried as a sand hill section, is in the real "corn belt," thnt in a dry soason the sandy land discounts the heavier soil. Tho Lloyd opern house is a big build ing, but it is none too large for the wealth of exhibits therein displayed. Extending the full length of the build ing are tables on which are placed thp exhibits of corn, vegetables and fruits. At the entrances are attractively placed sheaves of grain, bunches of alfalfa and great stalks of corn from which hang the heavy cars. On either side arc booths in which local merchants make neat and attractive displays. Thoso having booths are the Davis Auto Co., G. S. Hutfma.n, Tramp & Son, Howe & Moloney, Fred Westen feld. Electric Light Co., C. M. Xewton the Yellow Front Shoe Store, Ideal Bakery, A. A. Schatz Co., Rmcker Book & Drug Co., R. F. Stuart. Lierk & Sandall, Derryberry & Forbes the W W. Birge Co., and tho Nebraska Telephone Co. In these booths are dis played in a striking way the goods handled by tho respective firms. All the booths are handsomely decorated with colored crepe paper and bunting and give the building a pretty appear ance. On the tabks are the exhibits of more than a hundred farmers and they in clude everything grown on a farm; the entries of. corn predominating in number. These exhibits of corn, most which i comesr from unirrigated land located in different sections of the county, prove conclusively that the corn crop in Lincoln county was far from being a failure; in fact no better corn, in any year, has ever been on dis play. Next to corn, in the numbor of entries, are potatoes, and what potatoes they are! Great, big. smooth fellows, threo of them enough to mnke a meal for a family of six or eight. And the watermelons, the pumpkins, the onions, the squash, the tomatoes, the peppers, tho cabbago, the celery, the sugar beets, the apples, the plums; what a profu sion of products, so big, so perfect in form, so attractive. It's a wonderful display; an eye-opener to everybody; wo all feel proud that we live in a county so wonderfully productive as is Lincoln. The largest exhibit by any one far mer is that of Otto Mesmor, who lives in the sand hills fifteen miles northwest of town. Included in this exhibit is a water melon weighing seventy-six pounds, squah almost as big as a "bushel basket, tomatoes, cobboge, po- tatoes.corn and other articles, the whole forming an exhibit that uttractsthe at t3ntion of everybody, and oach one con cludes that Mr. Mcsmer i3 any excep tionally good farmer. Another sandhill fntmorwhp makes a fine display is George Payne who also lives about fifteen mils northwest of town. His exhibit is not quite so varied as that of .Mr. Mosmor'h, but he shows very fino corn, potatoes, squash, watermelons and other products, not the least intorosting being u vino loaded with large peanuts. Mr. Payne has marketed this season six toiiB of water melons off of two acres of ground which was broken outrlaBt spring. This shows tho womlorfn! feitility of our sandy land.'T Another fine collective exhibit is that made by tb farmer! of Hinman pre cinct, which includes all kinds of grain, alfalfa, fruit and vegetables, the -hole forming i mu-t ' ilifnble sh, i In eluded In this exhibit is comb and ex tracted honey from Scharmann Bros, npiary, nnd also a colony of bees ot work under glass. Tho Sclmrmann Bros, harvosledfiftoeen thousand pounds of honey this season. To tho farmer who desires to learn all he can about tho best methods of iarming, tlie exhibit by the state ex perimental sub-station is undoubtedly tho most interesting and instructive. Here is found a wonderful display of grain, and with each particular exhibit is on announcement of the method un der which it was grown; tho various ways and tho period of the year in which tho ground was prepared. There is also shown tho daily quantity of water absorbed by a stalk of corn; in fact this exhibition furnishes a fund of information for tho former who desires to learn of the best methods of agri culture. Tho Glenburnie fruit farm near Suth erland exhibits eight boxes of different varities of apples, theso boxes hnving been selected nt random from the hun dreds of boxes that nre being packed for storage or shipment. It is n dis play of wonderfully fine fruit, and is conclusive evidence of what can be done in apple growing in Lin coln county. The totnl yield of tho Glenburnio orchard this year will ex ceed ten thousnnd bushels. While the farmer looms up as the big factor in the exhibit, the women ot the city and county havo also a splendid exhibit of their handiwork. The big stage of the building is devoted to needle work, which has been displayed to excellent advantage by Mrs. Annie Church, superintendent of this depart ment. Here is shown many excep tionally fine pieces in ombroidery and needlework. This section of the fair is, of course, of particular intorert to the hundreds of ladies. There is also a fair exhibit of jellies, preserves, picklos and canned goods. The stock exhibit is at the brick barn in the rear of the opera house. Thl8 feature consists ofndazonpensof hogs, one of Bheep, twelve or fifteen head of horses, nnd a lesser number of cattle. On account of lack of accomodations, this feature of the fair could not bo pushed as strongly as was desired, else the exhibit would hove beeg much lar ger. However, tho stock on exhibition is excuptionally lino; among the hogs is one that weighs 900 pounds and another that weighs 700; there is a two-year Shire mare that tips tho beom at 1G00. The display of poultry, though limited to about twenty pens, includes some very choice fowls. Chickens, ducks and geese are represented. An interesting exhibit is that of Lee Simon, contest ing of two strums of rabbits an'd threo species of guinea pigs; twp species of the latter being very rare and seldom seen outside of the larger fairs. Mr. Simon breeds these animals and finds a ready sale for them. The general display of agricultural products is augmented by the exhibits made by tho farmers of tho Hershoy vicinity, who have materially assisted in making the fair such a pronounced success. The total of nil entries is 675, divided jno nearlythreu hundred classes, und the actual number of exhibitors is 190. The attendance at tho fair Wednes day was large, but there were not a a great many out-of-town visitors, but yesterday the visitors outnumbered tho town people, and from early in the forenoon until Into at night tho big hall was crowed. Many of these visitors como from adjoining counties. " Logan and McPherson counties were well represented, the spoclal train on the brunch brought in a large crowd, and from Hayes and Frontier counties came a dozen or more auto loads. Every precinct in tho county was represented by more or less people. ( Fully five hun dred people came to town in automo biles. In tho amusement lino the monoplano flights were, of course the feature. Two successful flights were mnde Wed nesday, the bird man staying in ho air about twenty minutes and handled his machine very cioverly. The flight yes terday morning was somewhat less pro longed on account of the chilliness of the temperature, and last evening the flight, pn account of the wind, was post poned until u late hour and nearly nil of tho thousand people present hed left the grounds. The bnso ball tournnment has not been tho success that had been planned, owing to the fact the teams that had promised to come, cancelled the gamts nt a late hour. Manager Cummings, however, did the host ho could and socured u pick-up team from Kearney. The teams have been playing two games each afternoon, the Xoitn Plattea win ning all games.

Mr. Perkins says thnt the as sociation will have nn indebtedness of between $400 and $500, when nil bills ore paid.
