Wheat Prices
The great rango in quality of the
1915 crop of Nebraska wheat is re
flected in the market prices at Oma
ha yesterday. The Bee's quotations
show several ears of No. II hard winter
wheat selling from $1.05 down to 99
i cents, while No
4 hard winter sold
1 all tho way -from 91 cents down to 70
i cents, tne quality or course ueiormin
ing the price. Here is a range of thir-
ty-fivo cents a bushel from the host No.
I! to the poorest No. 4.
It is probable that the range of qual
ity of wheat in Lincoln county will
class with the state at large, therefore
the farmers can reasonably expect
quite a variance In price.
We hae paid mil thousands of dol
lars In Hall, Lightning and Fire losst.

more of this money if insured with us

THE FAIR Ol'F.NS
Yesterday was tho opening day of
the Lincoln county fair, a day in
which oxhlblts were entered and plac
ed. However, up to last cvenlug only
about half ot tho exhibit? had been
placed, but tho men wore nt work last
night, and by noon today the big hall
will be lllled with agricultural prod
ucts, fancy work, school work, tho
products of the thrifty housewife, and
tne booths of the local business men.
The building for the exhibits is the
one used for the Lowry-Moody revival
meetings and la excedlngly well
adapted as an exhibition hall. It is
well elctrlcally lighted, the displnv
tables are conveniently placed, and
on both sides are the booths.
Among Uiu booths that were cccu-ll-d
last evening were: W. W. Birge
Co.. Howe & Moloney, Davis Auto Co.,
North Platte Creamery, G. S. Huffman,
Gaston Music Co., Lloyd Powers,
Maxwell Auto .Agent, Block Ladles'
Furnishing Store, Smith the Apperaon
Auto Agent. Hendy-Ogler Co., Ford
and Dodge Cars, Derryhorry & Forbes
and the Coates Lumber & Coal Co. Oth
er booths will he fitted up today.
The big barn on the premises is used
for the display of horses. Last even
ing soveral of tho stalls were filled and
the exhibitors who will come In today
will fill every stall and then some,
for tlio display of live stock tills year
will be greater than over.
The hog pens are numerous nnd sev
eral exhibitors brought In thoir ani
mals yesterday. Threo pons of line
Chester Whites nttracted the atten
tion of visitors yesterday and there
were also several pens of the black
fellows.
The red building on the grounds Is
used for the poultry nnd pet stock ex
hibit. Last evening tho display In this
line was line, Including thoroughbred
ciilikens, geese, ducks, rabbits, and
the very Interesting exhibit of pet
stock by Lee Simon.
Tho display of grains and grasses
prepared by Mr. Gilman Is really won
derful, made the more so by the ar
tistic manupr In which they are
placed.
This has not been a good season for
vegetables too cold and wot but tho
display promises to bo large, never
theless. However, wo shall miss those
eighty pound water molons usually
exhibited by Otto Mossmer and Jim
Bechan just now watrmelons are only
half grown.
Tho exhibit of school work Is very
large; so largo In fact that Coutny
Supt. Gautt cannot find room for all.
-The country schools nro exceedingly
well represented In this work.
Up to last evening tho fancy work de
partment made a good showing; but by
noon today, at which time tho entries
close, the display will be such aa to
lead one to believe that Lincoln coun
ty ladles devote much time to this
work.
There is a liberal display of canned
goods, marmalode, Jelly, cakes, plea,
bread, and other articles along this
line.
One of tho attractive exhibits is the
public park and fnlr ground scene
carried out In detail by C. C. Hunfer.
This Is some show of Itself, the grounds
representing tho several buildings, a
race track on which are toy horses and
riders, pens full of sheep, automobiles
in speeding contests, flower gardens,
living fountains, trees nnd shrubbery,
in fact all tho requirements und beau
ties of the community park which
The Tribune hopes the people of North
Platte will endorse by their votes on
tho 14th of Soptember. This scene by
Mr. Hupfer represents much time and
work, but public spirited follow that
he Is. lie gave both freely.
Tho ball diamond has been scraped
and bleachers erected for tho games
that will bo played today, Wednesday
and Thursday. At this point are alBO
located the aviation sheds, and from
there the big airships will ascend,
Tito grounds are well provided with
water both for visitors nnd stock, In
fact President Pielsticker and Secre
tary Sebastian have apparently left
nothing undone that would add lo the
pleasure or convonlonce of the visit
ors. In the grove aro several booths
where refreshments nre sold, and horo
also is located a big dance pavillion.
Other refreshment booths are loented
around the grounds.
No gambling in any form Is permlt
ed on the grounds. Several follows ap
plied for concessions of this nature but
were promptly turned down.
The Better Baby contest under the
suprvlslon of the Mothers' club is be
ing held In the former Dillon house,
east of the grounds, which has also
been fitted up as a rest room for the
mothers. Application blanks nro In
charge of Mrs. W. R. Malonoy. Exam
inations of the babies are being made
and their measurements taken by Drs.
ledflcld, Simms, ucas and other phy-
iicians, In a room set aside for this
purpose. Mouth examinations are
undo by Dr. Cressler. Mosdamcs Ld-
uind Dickey, J. B. Redfleld and O
!. Crossler are assisting In tho test

r during the afternoon.
