The Big Con
test Is Over
Automobile Goes to Fairbury
Noyes, of Louisville Gets
the Piano.
As was advertised the grand automobile-piano
contest which has been con
ducted for the past two months by the
News-Herald and the Nebraska Far
mer came to a close Saturday night.
Considerable interest. was manifested
throughout and this became intense as
the time to close drew nigh.
As soon as possible after the close
the vote was counted and it was found
that Mr. J. R. Noyes of Louisville led
the local contestants with 626,400 votes
to his credit, while E. H. Miller of
Murdock was second with 223,100, and
Harriete Adams third with something
under 100,000 votes. This vote made a
splendid showing for Cass county, and
hopes were entertained we mignt win
the automobile, but when the final i
count was made at the Windsor hotel ,
at Lincoln on Monday it was found that
the contestant of the Fairbury Journul
won the buzz wagon with the handsome ;
vote of 1,522,090. In the local contest
this gives the piano to Mr. Noyes, the j
combination desk and bookcase to Mr. j
Miller and the $10 worth of merchan- j
dise to Miss Harriete Adams. 1
At the conclusion of the count in ,
Lincoln Monday the Nebraska Farmer j
company entertained the various news- j
papers and contestants interested at a
banquet at the Windsor hotel. That it '
was thoroughly enjoyed by those prci-,
ent goes without saying.
To all those who took part in the j
local contest the News-Hkrald desires j
to express its thanks. Your efforts j
have bum appreciated and we arc only
sorry that there were not enough prizes
to go around.
Take Your Choice.
When you suffer from headache a
dentist will tell you it is caused by bad
teeth; an optician says you need
glasses; a specialist says your throat
needs elaborate and prolonged atten
tion; the family physician says your
stomach is out of order, "two dollars,
please." So there you are; you simply
pay your money and take your choice
of treatment. -Annie Vio Gates, in Ne
braska City Press.

Whether Nebraskans go to Seattle or
not to attend the Alaska-Yukon exposi
tion, they will have an opportunity to
see the government exhibits from the
Department of Agriculture at home.
This exhibit is larger in itself than
those at any previous exposition ex
cept the Louisiana purchase exposition
at St. Louis. Eight cars will be re
quired to take the exhibit ta Seattle.
It is on the return trip that this great
display will stop in Nebraska for two
weeks and will comprise a part of the
government "exhibit at the National
Corn Exposition to be held in Omaha.
The exhibit will be made in sections
by six different bureaus including those
of amimal industry; forest service;
plant' industry; horticultural depart
ment; fiber investigation and corn in
vestigation bureaus.
Nebraska raises cattle, hoga, sheep
and the bureau of animal industry will
have an exhibit of unusual interest,
showing all practical ways of handling
stock, eradicating disease, sanitary
handling of dairy cows; the methed of
meat inspection which i used by the
bureau.
Hemp has been shown to be a crop
which will make profits for growers in
Nebraska. The government has been
working with the libre. The jjrocess
of manufacture will be seen in the ex
hibit at Omaha and Nebraska hemp
will be used.
The forestry bureau shows the adapt
ability of different timber, the preser
vation of construction timbers as well
as hundreds of pictures of forests in
the northwest. It is an attractive ex
hibit even in a state where lumbering
is unknown.
Five cases of charts and models from
the bureau which has to do with fruit
growing, will give visitors an oppor
tunity to see the most improved
methods of growing, harvesting, grad
ing, brushing, wishing, handling,
0 transporting and storing fruits. Wax
