Miss 18 Is In Trouble—Seducer Mar rier Man—Played with Fire and Got Burned—Wants to Kill Man— Her Fault as Well as His—No Right to Kill—Better Make Best OF IT and Profit by Experience. Maxie Miller: I am 18 and I am in troutdei. The man is a married man. He offers to send me away, pay all exxpenses and to provide for the child, but I just want to kill him. I hate him now and I could kill him and drink his blood. What should I do to the beast? I want to kill him. —Mad Mollie. Mad Molle: I am in sympathy with you, because of your condition, but I place the blame on you. It is bad enough for a girl to get mixed up with a single man, but there is no excuse for hooking up with a married man. You knew he was married, and whatever methods he might have used, he did not force you—you con sented. Then you must bear your share of the blame. If this man is willing to do all you say, there’s no more that he coulld do. Better ac cept and not comimit another crime. You have your life before you. —Marie Miller. Nebraska Plans Biggest State Fair One of the most ambitious pro grams ever presented will be of fered by the 1935 Nebraska State Fair and Exposition when the gates swing wide opening day for six great days—September 1-6, at Lincoln. The board of managers hals combed the amusement world to assemble a great program of headline attractions to make the 1935 fair a milestone in a new era of Nebraska state fair history. This determination will be seen in every phase of the state fair by Nebraskans attending the 67th annual exposition at Lincoln. It wasn’t iso long ago that the Nebrsaka State Fair was the state’s greatest annual attraction for literally hundreds of thous ands of persons. Five years of de pression took their toll of the state fair along with other insti tutions, but with agriculture en joying what many predict will be the best year in a long period and the entire state pointed toward recovery on a broad scale, the fair board determined that now is the time to expnad—to reclaim for the state fair its jmst position as the greatest possession of the state—an annual event dedicated to the people of Nebraska in a spirit of pleasure, entertainment and education. That is the reason for NE BRASKA ’S 1935 PROSPERITY STATE FAIR. The people of Nebraska have struggled hard the past few years. They never gave up. Neither has the state fair. Every year, good or bad, the state fair has made its bow, presenting th ebest it had to the people of the state in the way of an exposition of the greatest industry in the world'—AGRI CULTURE—telliny the world of the progress made by Nebraska agriculture and the other varied activities which made this state one of the moist progressive com monwealths in the union. Today, the picture is different. Because of the return of prosper ous conditions to agriculture, all of Nebraska is facing a new era of betterment and the state fair is keeping pace. In every phase of the 1935 fair—education—en tertainment — fun—thrills—fair patrons in the 1935 PROSPER ITY EXPOSITION the old at mosphere of excitement and carnival that made a visit to Lin coln for a day at the fair the out standing event in the lives of thousands of Nebraskans of every age, occupation and interest. It will all be there this year, not big ger and better, but greater and finer. Only a start has been made in putting together thfe 1935 pro gram, but when it is complete, the board-will have made good on its promise —EVERY ATTRAC TION A HEADLINE FEA TURE. The board feels that this is the only way to get Nebras kans back into the old habit of I GOING TO THE STATE FAIR in September, and it’ll pay big dividends to both the fair and its I patrons, an investment worth wrhile. Only a beginning has been made on building the program— successive issues of ‘ ‘ NEBRAS KA” will reveal new attracitons added to the program—but judge for yourselves, look at the pre liminary bookings and see what the 1935 PROSPERITY STATE FAIR WILL offer you. Already decided upon are two days of automobile races, the first time in years that State Fair speed fans have had such a dish placed before them. Auto races, with America’s leading drivers burning up one of America's best and most dangerous half-mile dirt tracks will inaugurate the 1935 fair with a blazing speed card the afternoon of the opening day, Sunday, September 1. Another full afternoon of auto races wili climax the closing day of the fair, Friday, September 6. Thirty drivers will be compet ing for $1,400 in prizes these two days in wide-open, competitive racing. The thrills will be there whether you are or not. Four days of horse races!

Besides the evening performance, these artists play every afternoon be fore the grandstand between races or other feature events, a crowded program that is bound to appeal. I he Midnight Alarm—Every evening grandstand performance will be featured by this blazing spectacle of pyrotechnics. Lin coin and Omaha fire departments race to the rescue of s c o r e s of persons trapped in a burning four-story building. Daring fire men ascend aerial ladders, or climb pompier ladders up the face of the building to descend safely through genuine smoke and flames with tlieir human burdens. Trapped residents plunge to safe ty in life nets. This great, 40 minute spectacle is preceded by 10 minutes of beautiful fireworks The Midnight Alarm is new, unique, a spectacle offered for the first time at the 1935 Nebraska State Fair.
