Nebraska
HOST OF EXHIBITS
AT NEBRASKA FAIR
Amusement Features Excel and
Crowds That Attend Prom
ise to Be Record Break
K ing This Year. '
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln, Sept. 3. (Special.) If
ever anything was made on the earth
or below the sea, that ever lived,
moved or had a being that cannot be
seen at the Nebraska state fair this
year then it is a foregone conclusion
such a thing is not worth the trouble
to look at, for never before in -the his
tory of the state fair association has
her bn such an aggregation of every
thing. -
. The grounds are crowded with ev
erything man has ever heard of and
this is only the first day. The in
dividual who misses the state fair this .
year will miss more than he has ever
::.'en before in all his whole life.
The only bad feature about the
whole thing is that one tries to see
so much he has to give'up in despair
before the day is over.
Circus Attracts Many.
Every line of exhibits is greater
than it has ever been. Attractions in
the amusements line are far ahead of
previous efforts of the fair. The big
circus in front of the grandstand is a
wonderful thing for fair visitors. To
the average circus goer it seems that
it is a Hagenback and Wallace-Bar-num
and Bailey-Ringling Brothers
combination thrown all together so
numerous are acts and so wonderful
their performances.
Over in agricultrual hall it does not
look as if there had been a lack of
moisture anywhere in Nebraska this
year. In fact, the display of those
counties which have ususally been
considered unagricultural because of
a lack of . rain in past years the ex
hibits are very marked. . ,
Sheridan county has a fine exhibit
of alfalfa, wheat and other small gram
as well as potatoes.- Cucumbers four
to five feet long attract a great deal
of attention.
Scottsbluff, the sugar county, has,
of course, a mighty fine display of
sugar beets as well as of grain. And
that is not all, pumpkins weighing
seventy-five pounds are among the
exhibits with spuach half as heavy.
County Displays Good.
Kearirey 'county has art excelletn
displaof all kinds of small grain and
potatoes and other vegetables. A
squash weighing fifty pounds is also
an attraction.
Dawes county is another of the
former dry counties which has an ex
cellent exhibit of everything agri
cultural. - - '
Other counties show fine exhibits
aloo, but the -above counties because
of their former, conditions attract the
visitors and indicates that for sure the
Great American Desert is a thing
long since past.
Agricultural hall is a beautiful
place, more so than ever before. Tht
hall, has been rearranged and parked
through which gravel paths wind
midst beautiful beds of flowers and
flrjs.!' .The hall has been hung pro
fusely with flags and bunting and pre
sents with its accompanying flowers
and foliage a beautiful sight.-
, ' Wednesday is exoeeted to be a big
rlav nirain this vear. It has been.
made "Old Soldiers' day" and the lit
tle bronze button will admit the old
veterans free. -

Upton Would Remove
Seining Restrictions
Lincoln. Neb., Sept. 3. "Removal
of the present restrictions on seining
would probably increase the visible
supply of meat by many millions of
tons said Dr. F. W. Upson, head of
the agricultural chemistry department
of the University of Nebraska, in
speaking of the future food situation
today. -
"Fish cost nothing to. produce, and
consequently the seining of large
numbers of fish would constitute a
net gain in the visible supply of meat.
Of course, it would be necessary to
place certain restridtions upon the
seining in order to prevest complete
extermination of the fish.
"Such a measure would be in keep
ing with measures already taken by
Great Britain to meet the emergency.
There the government has taken steps
to encourage the fishing industry, so
managing it that th maximum produc
tion of human food is assured."
Many State Offices
Closed for Labor Day
(From a Staff Correspondent.)
Lincoln. Scot. 3. (Special.) The
state house offices were closed all day
today in celebration of Labor day.
though some of th'em were open long
enouhg in the morning to receive the

On account of the nearenss to the
leaving of the first consignment of
men drafted, Governor Neville and
Private Secretary Lee Metcalfe, with
Stenographer Howard, were busy

Draft Board's Authority f;v
w Limited, Crowder Says
Lincoln. Sept. 3. Special.) A
local exemption board has no author
ity to select a person who has had
military training and who is not in
cluded in the numbers drawn to fill
out the total quotai accoridng to in
structions received by Governor Ne
ville today from the War department.
Neither can drafted men select the
mobilization camp they desire to go
to nor can they pick the 'contingent
of any other local board than their
registration card calls for, unless the
party has moved a considerable dls
tance away. However the board must
be very strict in the matter and be
sure that the change in location was
unavoidable.

The chetsnut mare tried hard to

Careless Use of Soap
Spoils the Hair
Soap should be use- very carefully,
if you want to keep our hair looking
its best Most soaps and prepared
shamDoos contain too much alkali.
This dries the scalp, makes the hair
brittle, and ruins it. ,
The best thing for steady use is
just ordinary mulsified cocoanut oil
(which is pure and greaseless), and
is better than the most expensive soap
or anything else you can use.
One or two teaspoonuls will
cleanse the hair and scalp thoroughly.
Simply moisten the hair with water
and rub it in. It makes an abundance
of rich, creamy lather, which rinses
out easily, removing every particle of
dust, dirt, dandruff and excessive
oil. The hair dries quickly and evenly,
and it leaves the scalp soft, and the
hair fine and silky, bright, lustrous,
fluffy and easy to manage.
You can get mulsified cocoanut oil
at any pharmacy, it's very cheap, and
a few ounces will supply every mem
ber of the family for months. Adv.
Music Man Goes East T. F. Gross,

Iim Getting Sore"
at the insinuations and puns poked at motion pictures
by would-be "wis ones." For a while I held my pce,
but finally my Irish blood got to boiling, so here goes
my wrath, no matter whose, toes it sieps on.
! Sunday morning in glancing over reviews of Omaha
theatricals, the following article came to my no-
4 ia t
"See what has happened. At a time when some
of us were beginning to get . reconciled to film
drama, and could even tell that falling down stairs or,
slapping a pie in somebody's face, was comedy; and
that a heroine with the heaves was meant to be in the
throes of emotion; just as we were learning to be Im
pressed by these and other subleties of the screen, etc."
f I admit that they throw pies in some film comedies,
but as a theatergoer and ex-legitimate and vaude
ville manager, I know these same tactics are resorted
to in stage slapstick comedy, and reference could just
as easily have been made in this particular instance
to stage as screen performances. There are slapstick
film comedies and there are other classes of film1
comedies just the same as there are different classes of '
vaudeville.
T With such artists as Mary Pickford, Geraldine Farm, Mar
" guerite Clark, Lina Cavalieri, Elsie Ferguson, Pauline Freder
ick, Billie Burke, Mary Garden, Maxine EHiot, Madge Kennedy,
Jane Cowl, Ethel Barrymore and many other at well-known celebri-
ties in pictures, does common sense teach you that simply because
; they are appearing, before the camera, under the supervision of
the best directors money can secure men of the caliber of Cecil
B. DeMille, who produced nearly all the old Bejaeeo successes, or
David Wark Griffith, who conceived such wojider-sereen plays as
the Birth of a Nation or Intolerance, "a heroine with the heaves"
was meant to be in the throes of emotion?"
ff We emphatically say no, and cry ehamo to the man whose in-.-U
teUigence is so warped, biased and prejudiced, as to make' these
slurs. , ;
The very best proof we can offer as to tw "uncoutMiaee ' of
the motion picture, is the clientele that attends the Strand. The
very man who employs this most excellent dramatic critic brings
his wife- to the Strand at least twice a week. If these pictures
were such as this critic, would lead us to believe, why should this
gentleman's employer come here of his own free will so fre
quently? . j . ,
. ff Of course, there are crude pictures, but there are crude vaudt
" ville acts, crude melodramas, crude musical comedies, so why
is. it necessary to cast slurs on pictures any more than on. any.
other form of amusement? . ; , . .,
' fT In conclusion, I merely wish to state that today and until Sat-
, " urday, we present

and I ask you to cdne down, carefully scrutinise this picture, and
tell me whether "the heroine heaves to show emotions." This
picture is a fair test of the modern photoplay, and on pictures
of this character, I ask you to say whether or not I am right in
taking exception to wanton slurs on the most popular form of
American amusement today.
