STATE FAIR IS
PROOF THAT THIS
STATE HAS CROPS
Many Counties Show What the
Wonderful Agricultural
Resources of the
r State Are

the war would in any way interfere
with the exhibits at the 1918 Nebras
ka state fair he will very soon see
his mistake after a visit to the great
annual exposition, for never in the
History of the association has there
been such an exhibit as is being
shown on the opening day and to
all appearances tie crowd is greater
than at any other opening day;
The ' government exhibit is easily
one of the great crowd drawers. In
addition to the war exhibits there
is on exhibition a large number of
large photographs of actual war
scenes taken on the western front
which are of especial interest. Battle
ship models about ten feet long and
also models of torpedo boat destroy
ers attract much interest, while the
Lewis and Browning machine guns
attract much attention,
' Mountain Gun Mounted.
A mounted mountain gun and a
full sized torpedo with exhibits of all
equipment of the soldier in all de
partments is an interesting feature
of the government exhibit.
" In addition to this is the forest
reserve exhibit in the same building
which gives ideas as to proper
methods to conserve the present for
est reserves and plans of the agri
cultural department covering mater
ial for road construction. This part
of the government exhibit is in
charge of J. Higgins.
Another exhibit of much interest
to those who live in an agricultural
state is the county agricultural ex
hibits. The idea that Nebraska has
a crop faijure or even a partial crop
failure is quickly disproved by the
exhibits from many of the counties
of the state. Probably one of the
most interesting of these exhibits is
that 'from Sheridan county.
Sheridan County Exhibit.
When one thinks of a northwestern
county like Sheridan, he immediate-
1.. ....til If -l .nnnirv
where there is nothing but sand hills
and no rain to keep the sand from
blowing. However, the exhibit of
?fferidan county, which is in charge
of C, O. Sawyer, county farm agent,
quickly disillusions any idea that
crops cannot be raised in Nebraska's
once short grass country, and Sheri
dan county does not raise its crops
by irrigation either, but depends upon
the moisture which comes from nat
ural sources.
Potatoes shown in the exhibit, ac
cording to Mr. Sawyer, are yielding
from ISO to 200 bushels per acre
and the farmers of that county ex
pect to ship more than 2,000 car loads
this fall.
Spelt, which is being grown quite
extensively in the northwest counties,
makes a very nice flour and yields
40 to 50 bushels to the acre and
brings about 75 cents per bushel.
Each shuck contains two kernels of
grain something like rye, but con
siderably larger.
Other County Exhibits.
Other counties which have excel
lent exhibits in shape today are
Dawes, Custer, Scott's Bluff and
Kearney, while Douglas county has
one of the very fine exhibits in agri
cultural hall.
Of course no exhibit of agricultural
products vould be complete without
Arnold Martin, the dry farming ex
pert, and his display irom rawnee
county. However, not all of the ex
hibit is from the dry farming land, but
the whole county has a part in the
display, but it is in charge of Mr.
Martin and U (therefore very attrac
tively displayed.

GIRGOS MOVES ON
TO THESTATE FAIR
All the Glare and" Glitter Ex
pected at Big Top Seen
- by Two Big Holiday
Crowds.
i
Parades, picnics, speeches, and oth
er Labor day activities did not stop
thousands of Omahans from touring
toward the "big top" yesterday after
noon and night for two hours of gen
uine old-fashioned circus enjoyment
at the Hagenbeck-Wallace shows.
Young and old alike forgot fret
and fatigue in watching the thrilling
stunts of acrobats, the dangerous
work of the animal trainers, and the
side-splitting antics of an army of
clowns in three rings.
The old features that everyone
wants and expects were there, from
the monkeys and elephants and fat
lady to the pink lemonade. But in ad
dition there were new attractions. !
For instance, there was Gladys Gor
man and her remarkable horse which
not only danced but drew a buggy
while prancing on its hind legs.
The Ward aerial act is of seeming
ly impossible stunts performed on
swinging trapezes. Rose Rosalind,
Miss Rooney, and Miss Hogini did
some splendid bareback riding acts.
Chinamen literally hung by the hair
of their heads and Emil Schwyer put
his five big ferocious lions through
a difficult act which held the audience
breathless. After this he and an
assistant made an elephant carry a
tiger its natural enemy of the jungle
on its back, and made the tiger
leap through a hoop of fire.
And there were the clowns, includ
ing Al. Moore. He has beeu a clown
with big tent shows for 25 years and
when he gives his famous trombone
solo in the clown band the audience
forgets if the interest is due.
In front of the main entrance of
the big top hung a huge service flag
bearing more than 200 star! repre
senting. men in the country's fighting
forces from the Hagenbeck-Wallace
circus, which is owned by Ed. Ballard
of French Lick, Indiana.
The circus now goes to Lincoln,
where it will show at the State Fair
for the balance of the week.

Steinway
The PREMIER PIANO OF
THE WORLD
Wherever music is known the STEIN
WAY is recognized as the supreme in
strument. It is significant that the most celebrated pianists
and gifted artists, in both America and Europe, when
left free tp choose their own piano and where no
monetary consideration exists, the Steinway is in
variably selected.
It is true the Steinway costs a little more than
other pianos," but considering its wonderful tone, which
has charmed the musical world for 66 years, and its
marvelous durability, it is by far the least expensive
piano on the marketr
In line with our established policy of many years
standing Nwe sell Steinway pianos at the same prices
at which they are sold in New York by the manu
facturer. You can buy a Steinway Upright at $600, or a
Steinway Grand at $910. Your old piano accepted in
exchange.
If you can't call, write for Steinway literature.
It is interesting and instructive. Make arrangements
for your Steinway now before prices advance.
