The ■ hautaufua and the county fair are | two of the very important educational | institutes of the year, and the county j fair is not to be rated as the least of uiese. unite a certain portion ot the rime and program are given to amuse ! ' ment. the greater part of the fair and! its attractions are positively education al and of practical value. The satisfied j person in any line of effort will never i get any farther, but the person who is not content to rest upon the achieve ments already accomplished will find j 'n the Hamilton county fair sugges | ions for improvement in ’ust as many j lines of endeavor and will go away I with new ideas, new ambitions and new energy to do bigger thing1-', better things and more profitable things. Some of your neighbors have advan «d farther along certain lines than you have, and you have made advancement in certain things which your neighbor has failed to do. Get together at the fair and see what each otht r has done j I and you will both profit. The county fair is a people's institution and is a I great clearing house of experience and j acquired knowledge for the entire i i unty. You are not wasting your j own time nor that of your family whet: you attend the fair: you are simple gathering in the benefits of the coni bined effort and research of the whole ((immunity for future application to your own affairs.—Aurora Sun. The people of Hamilton county are i taking great interest in their county fair as the above shows Sherman | county people are also getting bus\ j in preparation of our fair Stptembet 19. 20 and 21.

Telephone Company Statement. For the information of those who may desire to know’ of the conditions lacing the telephone industry at this time the following statement is issued: by the Nebraska Telephone Co. Since the very beginning of the war the government’s requests for tele phone equipment have had precedence lover private requirements and given; j right-of-way over all private messages | At an expense—in the aggregate : hundreds of thousands of dollars—com I prehensive telephone systems have | been provided for training camps, and lines of communication have been in I stalled between military headquarters ' mobilization posts and commissary de- j pots. Telephones and special lines have also been supplied for the troops at bridges grain depots and other places being guarded. In addition to the government’s use of our service increased business activ I ity incident to the war has placed fur ther demands upon our telephone facil ities. We are handling over 30 per cent more long distance calls than we did j before the war and the number of !o cal calls particularly in the larger cities has increased greatly. The long distance telephone facili ties out of the city of Wa'shing’on have been more than doubled since the war began and in all the principal centers both the local and long dis tance equipment has been greatly in creased in an endeavor to handle the heavy telephone burden caused bv war j activities. Nearly 3.000 skilled telephone engi-i neers and maintenance men from the Ball system alone have been organized into signal corps batallions for service with the armies in the field. Many more of our men are with the national guard and in other branches of thr county 's military service The situation confronting us has caused great difficulty in getting and installing equipment t r the most ur gent private needs. Our long distance facilities are loaded to their utmost capacity and our local service in some localities is suifering o; account of the conditions over which we have no con j trol. As the war continn s the govern-! ment s requirements for trained tele phone telephone men and for service ! and equipment are increasing. 1 he j present business activity is a<so likely to be extended as the » ar goes on. In the interests of all we hope that out j patrons will ask for no additional equipment unless absolutely essential to the conduct of their business and that they will put every possible re straint on the unnecessary and extra a gant use of our local and long dis tance service. -1 LOCATING THE NEW U.

What to ad dress telegrams or letters or express to him?” “Where will our state guaru regiments be encamped’” "Where are our aviators being trained?” "Where are the main war hospitals to be located?” These and a thousand other ques tions of equal importance will be apswered for the first time, completely and geographically in a splendid new map and folder which is being prepar ed now for the Union Pacific System, and which in a few days will he availa hie for free distribution. "Military map of the U. S. A.” is the title of this timely publication. On the map side the location of every cantonment camp and trainee station is plainly marked in red—the various kinds of camps being indicated by characters differently shaped In the folder side complete lists of the varions classes of fighting men are given, to gether with their present location, or. if they are not yet mobilized, their ulti mate destination in America. Every home that has given a son brother or father to the war. should he supplied with this map—every home which is interested in getting a bird's eye view of the preparations Uncle Sam is making to win the war Tic supply is limited and same may be had. free of charge, upon applica tion to any of the Union Pacific System offices or from W S. Basinger. General Passenger Agent. Union Pacific, Oma ha. Neb. We understand that Mike Mulick of Loup City made a trip to Grand Is land recently for the purpose of offer ing his services to Uncle Sam. Now. anyone who is acquainted with Mike knows his courage is undisputed. On presenting himself at recruiting office and being informed that he was too old for active service as only young men with plenty of pep were being used. Mike got a little peeved for being un derestimated. and told them he would prove to their satisfaction that he was the best man in the bunch even if he was a few years past the age limit and was perfectly willing to demonstrate the fact right then if they would ad journ the meeting out back of the woodshed. Mike is not wearing the Khaki but he says any old time Uncle Sam wants him he'll be on the spot.— Arcadia Champion. STOMACH AND LIVER TROUBLE.

August 15. — A letter dated in 1799 from the premier Ma rine Corps recruiting officer to the then Commandant of that corps, set ting forth some of the recruiting me thods of that. time, was made public at marine corps headquarters today. Comparison of present day recruiting activities with those of the 18th cen tury is interesting. Lieut. Hall's letter reads: “1 pur pose this week to open rendevouz in different parts of the country and make frolic to draw the people to gether which 1 think will have a good effect. There are some in jail whom 1 could get out by paying the sum of $12. Do you think I would be safe in advancing it?” Present day recruit ing officers require declarations from accepted men that they have never been convicted of any crime. FOR SALE.

EXEMPTIONS A wealthy farmer in a Nebraska draft district one of whose six son fell within the first quota, has offered an eighty-acre farm to anyone who will take his son's place in the army Doubtless th< re would be takers, for synch. 2 farm in th2t r2rticul2r D2rt of the ?tat° ^orth more tJian the average young man can earn bv ftf teen years of labor. But the trade cannot be made. If such deals were possible, we should haw the rich hiring the poor to do their share of the fighting for them The draft law contemplated no such plutocrat operation of the war. Un less its spirit is violated, there will be no buying o fmilitary indulgences. We have progressed in the last half century. When men w ere drafted for the Civil war they were permitted to hire substitutes. It was one of 'lu criticisms of Grover Cleveland when a candidate for office that he had cm ployed a substitute to take his place m that war. There was no giving of farms worth ten or fifteen thousand dollars to substitutes then. Seven or eight hundred dollars was a liberal price The viciousness of the substi tute system was not appreciated then sufficiently to prevent its use. Today such practices would not be tolerated :t' Known. Of all men. the man with sue h quantities of Nebraska land that he can afford to give away ail eighty acre farm is the last man who should refuse to fight his country’s battles The men who own the land of a coun try own the country'- It is truly th'dr country.

Specialists of the department of ag ricultural and the state griculturai college hope that by better methods the average yield per acre will be at least maintained wnerever there is a fertilizer shortage and will be in creased in other sections. Much edu cational work will be done to make this desire an actuality, and in this campaign the most successful grow ers will have a prominent part. For instance, it is stated that on the land that could be sown to fall wheat this autumn, it is possible materially to increase the yield per acre hv putting into practice some principles that are already well known to most farmers Those should appeal especially to those who cannot increase their us ual acreage without doing injustice to other crops which should be grown. These principles may be summed up as follows: (1) Plow early. Give the plowed land two months to settle before sow ing where possible (2) Compact the late-plowed land with roller and harrow. (3) Don't plow after a cultivated crop. Prepare such land with disk and harrow. (4) Make the seed bed a fit place for the seed. (5) Sow with a drill, sound plump clean seed of adapted variety. (6) Prevent losses from smut by treating infected seed wrlth formalde hyde. (7) Make the soil fertile with ma nure or fertilizers applied judiciously where needed. (8) Reduce winter killing by fol lowing the above suggestions. Baptist. We are glad to announce that tht new church improvements are finally completed and will be in readiness for the Grand Island association which meets here next Monday and continues for three days August 27-29.

AMERICA'S CAUSE FOR WAR “Tlie military masters of Germain denied us the right to be neutral They tilled our communities with vicious spies and conspirators. They sought io corrupt our citizens. * • The} sought by violence to destroy our in dustries aud arrest our commerce They tried to incite Mexico to take up arms against us and to draw Japan into hostile alliance with her. They impu deiitlv denied us the use of the high seas and repeatedly executed their threat that they would send to their death any of our people who ventured to approach the coasts of Europe • “This flag under which we serve would have been dishonoured had we withheld our hand.” WOODROW WIL SON. President of the United States MARINES ARE WEARING KHAKI New York. August 22.—A group of youngsters were playing oil Riverside Drive. A military man. dressed in kha ki and accompanied by a young lady approached the group. The boys stop ped their playing and. with nudges and gesticulation were evidently trying to' identify the man in khaki. As the young lady and her escort drew nearer, one youngster with an air of superior knowledge informed his companions: “He’s a United States Marine.” Overhearing the remark the young lady questioned the small boy: 'How do you know he is a Marine?” "Why lady,” exclaimed the youngster ”He wears an ornament on his hat showing an eagle, globe, and anchor, but doesn't wear any hat cord.” The colored hat cords, yellow, blue and red, help many civinlians to re cognize at once a cavalryman, an infan tryman or artilleryman. However the U. S. Maine dressed in khaki is still an enigma to many persons who lack the powers of observation displayed by the small boy on Riverside Drive. AN APPEAL TO EVERY COMMUNI TY IN THE STATE The Stale Board of Agriculture wish es to make a special appeal to every community in the state to examine the food drier which will he on exhibit at the State Fair. This is a matter which can not be emphasized b>Q strongly. It is no fable that we are facing a food shortage, neither is it news to any one that countless tons of fruits and vegetables go to waste each year because of gorged markets, inadequate shipping facilities or eondi tions of the produce. In southeastern Nebraska windfallen or specked apples find no market whatever, yet they will make as good dried apples ?is any up pies one can buy. The same may be said of practically all vegetables and fruits. community driers are as simple as a machine can be. and no less simple than cheap. Forty dollars will buv a machine for a whole town and save tons and tons of fruits and vegetable-s that would be wasted. No-t only will i! prevent their waste but it dries fruits and vegetables in a new way that re tains their flavor and the person that says he doesn’t like dried fruit is the one that has never tasted the produc t of this new drier invented by the gov ernment. Again we Say that every' community should have a representative at the State Fair to examine the drier on dis play. Economy and efficiency in food handling are now the watchwords of the nation and it is every one's patrio tic duty to swing into line and do his or their part. FOR SALE Good seond hand corn binder for sale. Iniqure Dr Bowman. Loup City. A sensible man doesn't care for his wife having the last word.
