More Fair for Fifty cents Than Ever Before
Where can you go to get as much for your money as
at the NEBRASKA STATE FAIR. Fifty cents will not only
admit you to see the best, but you may come in personal
contact with those who make the best possible.
It is impossible in a limited space to draw a picture
that will do justice to Nebraska where all of its best is on
exhibition. Camp for the week and make it a worth while
outing. For further information write

The strip of paving which was

men at Nebraska City and joining

park which was formerly known as
Arbor Lodge, was finished and allow-
ed to start on its curing method, and
will be ready for use when it shall
have seasoned and the shouldering
done and the concrete swept off, for
-ome one spilled a quantity of tacks
on the new pavement and those who
were sooners and sought to steal a
drive on the new slab before it was
ready came to grief.
May Have Use
ol New Paving
on Highway 75
Section From Union to Nebraska City
Will Soon Be Beady for Travel,
Not to Wait on Overpass
The highway officials having in
charge the supervision of the paving
and road work from Union south to
Nebraska City, have indicated in the
latter city that the paving will be
put in use soon, altho the overpass
at the Mullis corner north of Ne
braska City will not be ready until
fall.
The plans as stated by F. H.
Kleitsch. state engineer in charge of
highways in the southeast section of
the state, indicates that the paving
will lie thrown open as soon as pos
sible and a short detour around the
site of the overhead crossing will bo
used for the benefit of the traveling
public.
This overpass will probably be
ready in the fall when it is expected
to have the Fort Crook viaduct com
pleted and will then give a wonder
ful stretch of highway from Omaha
south to Nebraska City, as the pav
ing and viaduct program north of
this city is speeding along in very
good shape.
The paving of No. 75 which is
now stretching from Omaha to south
of Auburn will make a great high
way system and with many junc
tion graveled highways leading to
the towns in this part of the state,
making a great addition to all sea
son surfaced roads in the sr.ate.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE
The subject of the Lesson-Sermon
read at all Christian Science churches
ancl societies on Sunday. August 16.
was "Soul." One of the Biblical se
lections reads in part as follows:
' Hear, O Israel: the Lord our God
is one Lord." Oeut. 6:4 Other se
lections from the Bible were read
to show that the word "Saul" fre
quently is used in the Scriptures syn
onymously with God. Since there is
but one God. there is but one Soul,
and that one not included in ma
terial forms. The nature of Soul as
infinite Love was shown; also thai
understanding and obedience to Soul
heals disease. A portion of one ci
tations from Science and Health with
Key to the Scriptures" by Mary
'Baker Eddy (p. 4s2. relating to the
study of the Bible, reads as follows:
"The proper use of the word soul
can always he gained by substitut
ing the word God. where the reific
meaning is required. In other cases,
use the word sense, and you will
have the scientific signification. As
used in Christian Science, Soul is
properly the synonym of Spirit, or
God; but out of Science, soul is iden
tical with sense, with material sen
sation." CEDAR CREEK 4-H CLUB MEETS

Wheat be Given
to the Hungry
Samuel R. McKelvie Says the Farm
Board Can Solve Market Glut
and Meet Needs.
Lincoln, Aug. 18. Sam R. Me
Kelvie, former governor and former
wheat member of the federal farm
board, Tuesday suggested wheat
owned by the Grain Stabilization
Corp. be made available for emerg
ency food relief.
"I still insist that for the
good of all parties most of all
the farmer the sooner stabili
zation supplies of wheat are
disposed of the better. The op
portunity is at hand," said .Mi -Kelvie.
"The federal government will
be obliged to join with cities,
counties, states and agencies
of voluntary relief in feeding
millions of people this winter,"
McKelvie asserted.
"With vast numbers of these,
it cannot be a matter of loans.
It must be gifts of food, cloth
ing and possibly housing. The
food is available in the form of
wheat, and there is no better
food.
"No one who has access to
plenty of flour, milled wheat,
whole wheat or bread is going
to starve. And there is an abun
dance of wheat.
"The Stabilization Corp. has
it stored in all parts of the
United States. It can be distrib
uted, freight paid, to local
agencies of relief, who can have
it milled and passed on to the
needy. It should not be given
or sold to anyone who is able
to buy It should be used pure
ly and solely as fool relief."
He listed the following as advan
tages: "1. The government, having
the wheat and being obliged to
dispose of it, could economize
in its expenditures for food re
lief supplies. There would be
the minimum of cost for distri
bution. Many mills co-operating
with their local relief agencies
should be glad to do the grind
ing at cost. Many bakeries
would do the same.
"2. It would avoid the prac
tical aspects of a dole. It would
Involve no gifts or loans of cash.
People receiving relief in this
form would not expect to have
it continued beyond the time of
need.
"3. It would be the finest in
vestment ever made in adver
tising to encourage a return to
the larger use of wheat for
food.
"4. It would get rid of at
least a part of our domestic sur
plus of wheat."
"If such a plan is to he followed,
congress must authorize it," said Mc
Kelvie, and the revolving fund of
the farm board should be reimbursed.
All of this can be done in Decem
ber, he added.
