Pictures for the prettiest girls in Nebraska must be a profile view. Entries will be accepted until Feb. 1. Hundreds have already been received. Judge Neville of North Platte announced he will have all the pictures displayed in the Nebraska Building…He believes this display will have a strong effect on immigration to Nebraska, especially among the men of the East, and as a result the matrimonial market will experience a wave of prosperity…It should also arouse the patriotism of Nebraska women, especially those living in a state of single blessedness.
