BUSSES CANNOT
'RULE' HIGHWAYS
Lincoln, Aug. 19. Though they
maw be bigger and more powerful
than the ordinary automobile, Ne
braska busses are not to have any
advantage when it comes to using
the highways. Chairman John Curtis
of the railway commision, ruled
Monday.
The latter's Ire was somewhat
aroused, he said, over a protest pre
sented by T. B. King of Central City,
who complained that Interstate bus
drivers were usurping their rights
and scaring people off the roads.
Another complaint, he said, is
that sirens used on the busses re
semble railroad motor cars so much
that confusion is the result.
Chairman Curtis advised the Cen
tral City man that the matter had
already been placed in the hands
of the Interstate company with In
structions to correct any condition
existing. - .

Waterman Lumber Co. for four years
then came to Nehawka thirty-five
years ago, and finding this an ex
cellent place to reside has remained
here for the past thirty-five years
and says that Nehawka is a fine
place for a home and with the best
citizenship which can be found any
where in the country. He would
like to remain here for another thirty-five
years. He will however have
to borrow some time for by Holy

Governor
Extends Invita
tion to Fair
Calls It Agency in Putting Nebraska
In Its Present Strong Position
To Open August 30th.
Lincoln, Aug. 20. Governor A. J.
Weaver today extended an executive
invitation to Nebraskans to take a
part in or visit the state fair, which
opens its dcors August 30th. .
His Message
"To the People of Nebraska:
"Nebraska has almost a million
and a half of people and an annual
agri cultural production of almost
500 million dollars. When we con
sider the additional production which
comes from the preparation of our
rawltnaterial Into manufactured food
products within the state, there Is
an industrial production of almost as
much.
"Because of this record, we have
a right to class Nebraska as one of
the premier agricultural states. One
or the splendid . arenclftalnDlacInc
Nebraska in Its present position la
the Nebraska state fair, which is a
growing institution and worthy of
the confidence and support of all our
citizens.
"All earnings of the state fair are
invested in the plant and the state
has a plant now, value at .1,250,000.
In addition there has been paid to
the grain and live stock producers,
in premiums' more than has been ap
propriated for all other purposes. As
an educational institution as to the
possibilities of the state, it has been
a real investment.
"One of tie more recent and grow
ing activities is the boys' and girls
club work. In 1928 there were
1,200 boys and girls who took an
active part ' in our state ' fair and
made six thousand exhibit entries.
Twelve thousand boys and girls have
participated in preliminary contests
which culminate in the 1929 fair.
This kind of an activity is not only
an aid to apiculture, but a contri
bution to our future citizenship.
"Because of your interest in your
state, of which you have a right to
be proud, I hope that you will be
able to attend the Nebraska state
fair this yea.r."
