EXCEPTIONAL MACHINERY DIS PLARS AT STATE FAIR. It is announced by the Xebraska State Board of Agriculture that over 100 per cent more firms manufac turing agricultural machinery have secured space for exhibiting at the 191S State Fair than was true at this time last year. This will be of ereat interest to the farmers of the state who more and more are being compelled to replace shortened man power with machinery. The S'ate Fair, which cpens Sep tember 1st, is this year dedicated to a policy of "helping win the war by producing more food." It is very much in keeping that an unusual exhibit of agricultural machinery should be shown. If ever there were need of improved and efficient machinery with which to do the work of the boys who have been tak en from the fields it is this year and it should be the duty of every farm er wherever possible to see the State Fair machinery exhibit, talk with the representatives and secure full information regarding the possibili ties of the various kinds cf ma chines ad implements. There are further drafts to come and labor will he even shorter than at present. The wise "farmer will be looking ahead and planning to meet the sit uation, lie should by no means fail to not only see, but study carefully the exhibits to be found on the Ma chinery Grounds at the State Fair. To do so will be an education in it self. FINES UNEXPECTED SOMETIMES HAPPENS From Friday's Dally.
