(From a Staff Correspondent)
LINCOLN. . Neb., Oct U.-(Speclal.)-
The state board of managers of the state
fair met yesterday afternoon and took up
various matters,, among- them a proposi
tion to build a new swtne Judging build
ing and new swine pens. Several mem
bers of the swine breeders' association
were .present and urged the board to
take soma action In the matter, but an
nounced that they would not Insist too
hard as they desired some action taken
toward an appropriation for the manu
facture of hog cholera serum. The last
legislature made an appropriation of
$15,000 for its manufacture, but the asso
ciation claims that more money Is needed.
Another matter which came before the
board was that of a? King the legislature
for an appropriation for a horticultural
and agricultural hall combined. They said
that both of the old buildings would need
extensive repairs before another fair and
It would be good economy to put that,
money into a fund for new buildings. Tt
was thought by the board that floor
should be laid In the buildings recently
built and Secretary Mellor and Mr. Rudge
were appointed a committee to ascertain
the cost of flooring the machinery hall,
grandstand, coliseum and put new roofs
on the auditorium and the automoblla
halt
Mellor Hits Back.
H...M. Bushnell, editor of the Lincoln
Trade Review, one of the head bull
moosers of the city, has assailed the
manner of nominating candidates of the
Lincoln Commercial club and says It
is too much like the way they elect
officers on the board of agriculture,
whers they perpetuate themselves. Sec
retary Mellor of the State Board of
Agriculture, call Mr. Bushnell and says:
"All nominations on the state board are
made In open meeting and the elections
are in open meeting, and if Mr Bush
nell Is a progressive man he should know
that fact"
When asked about the method of elect
ing officers on. the stats board this morn
ing, Mr. Mellor, said: ."'The nominations
for. offices are made in open meeting
and any outsider has right to nominate
any person he chooses. In fact, that
has been done. Then the election is held
under the Australian system and every
member of the board has the same
chance as any other member to select
the officials.
"I do not know why Mr. Bushnell
should go out of his 'way to knock the
state fair board, unless he considers that
a progressive prerogative. We have been
electing officials on the state board of
agriculture In the progressive way for
several years and Mr. Bushnell ought to
have known it -
Mr. Mellor then exhibited one of the
ballots used at the last election, which
shows that there were three candidates
for members of the board from the First
district, two from the Second, five from
the Third, sixe from the Fourth, "six from
the Fifth and one from the Sixth.
Fair's Reputation Wide.
Frank Odell, secretary of the rural
life commission has returned from Cali
fornia ind says , that' the reputation of
the Nebraska state fair as an educator,
has gone to the Pacific coast and that
Secretary Mellor's contention that the
state fair was a greater educator than
the university, or at least that it reached
farther Is already bearing fruit and other
state fairs are awakening to the fact
that they too can accomplish results
by following in the lead of the Ne
braska state fair and make their insti
tutions ' Instruments ' of great benefit
along educational lines. .

Half-Minute Store Talk
A fellow came In here the other
day to look at a suit and it only took
him a few minutes to find and buy
one. He said he had gone to anothor
store because they put up a pretty
good line of talk, but that their cloth
ing stock was so much srr.aller than
their talk that he considered he had
wasted his time. He said there was
only one place, after all, where a
fellow could readily find what he
wanted at a price he wanted to pay
and that place was this store. We've
often hinted at that but some fel
lows will persist in looking around
when down deep in their heart-of-hearts
they know they can't be satis
fied elsewhere. However, they al
ways land here at the end of their
wild goose chase.

We know there is a deep-seated prejudice In the minds of soma
people against store advertising and we don't blame them, to a'
certain extend every store claiming to be the best andselnng the -best

only one "best." Common consent confers that title on this store, 'r,
It is the largest, lightest, airiest store in the Western country. No

the soldiers' home and looked Into the
matter of bnyJng a steam heater for one
of the buildings. Mr. Wait says there
are 525 members enrolled now, 215 of
whom are women. There are forty-one
out on parole and 150 in the hospital. "The
hospital proposition Is one that will con
front us to a large extent in the next
five years," said Mr. Wait "Many of the
old boys are gettlne along In years and
& large number are suffering from dis
ease contracted In the army ' and It Is
natural to expect that as they grow older
that they will grow weaker. Many of
them have ben abl to stave off any seri
ous complications because of a more or
less rugged constitution, but as the years
come on they naturally give way and we
have got to see that their last days are
made as comfortable as possible. In years
to com n'es will have to be employed
and the Institution will as a matter , of
natural consequence develop more Into k
hospital than anything else."
Aatomoblle Law Teat.
. The case of Coryell vs. state, which
came up from Nemaha county was heard
In supreme court yesterday. This Is the
case where a man by the name of Cor
yell had been arrested for allowing his
young son to run an automobile con
trary to the law. The case came up on
three counts. One for allowing a minor
to run an automobile, one for. turning
Into the , road within thirty feet of an
other vehicle after passing and the other
for allowing the boy to drive the machine
while passing the other vehicle Mr.
Coryell made the defense that while the
i boy was operating the steering wheel, he
himself jtad his hand on the wheel and
his foot on the brakes. He also set forth
that the law was unconstitutional In that
the title to the bill gave greaer power
than did the, bll itself.
Complaint of Affenta.
, So many complaints have come to the
office of the state superintendent of pub
lic Instruction of book agents who are
working schemes In the country to sell
books to children that Superintendent'
Delzell haa found It necessary to Issue
the following letter to county superin
tendent: Several county superintendents have re
cently called our attention to certain un
scrupulous book agents now abroad In
the state, who enter the school houses
and. take the time which properly be
longs to the children, soliciting the pur
chase of books.
This office is opposed to giving agents
any time during school hours and recom
mends that the county superintendents
use their influence In checking any such
system of solicitation. I also caution you
to keep on the guard so that your
teachers may be notified, in case the
( amenta enter your county, before any
material neauway can do maae.
A general letter at once from you to
the teachers of your county In regard
to this matter will place your teachers
their guard.
SCIENTIFIC HEARING
DOES N0TG0 WITH JUDGE
Scientific action Is no substitute for
hearing in the case of a man serving as
a juror. Judge A. L. Sutton of the dis
trict court so held when a Jury was being
impanelled to try the damage suit of
Paul Nickel against Robert Butke, '
Julius Lund, one of the prospective
jurors, when" being examined by the at
torneys, ' leaned forward and cupped bis
ear. Judge Sutton asked him If his hear
ing was poor.
, "I can't hear .very well," said Lund,
"but that's all X'snt. I don't go by talk.
I go by scientific action." '
The court excused Lund, saying scien
tific action might be all right, but Jurors
must be able to hear. D. Condon, another
Juror, was excused on account of de
fective hearing. Ha didn't know any
thing about scientific action.
Nickel Is asking damages of 15,075 be-,
cause while he was working for Butke, a
contractor, his foot was caught In a gaso
line engine and severely crushed. -
