There will plenty of room for the children to nip and play; there will also be oozy st room*, whore tho little ones can 3ep when tlxvir eyes become heavy d their little leg* tired.

SCUTH'S GLORY ON DISPLAY Expoeition Will Be Or»e of the "Diffsr ent" Kind and Will Be Greater In All Ways Than Anything Evor Saen In This Section of United States Belore. Tho National '>;is»«rv:Wran tion that will bo hold in the pictur e«'jui' city of Knoxville from Septem ber 1 to November 1, of the present your, will be the one big event of the year iu the South.

Following are a few facts that give some idee of the magnitude and the alms of the National Conservation Ex position: The exposition plant represents an outlay of over $2,000,000. The she of the exposition Is in the roost beautiful park in the South- a park th,it initios in the foothills of the (treat Smoky mountains, picturesque, rolling. green, highly Improved. Eleven Dig Buildings. The exposition grounds embrace with lakes and drives over one bun -3 red acre*. Never was a Kite for an exposition with more natural advantages chosen, never (MK> bettor adapted to exposition purposes. Eleven large exposition buildings, modern, stately, snowy white, as well a number of smaller buildings, will house this exposition. Railroads nsilize the importanoe of the exposition and are co-operating in every way in the enterprise. National leaders of conservation with Clifford l'inchot as chairman ate Greeting the exposition. Sixteen Southern states have formed hoard" for exposition work and these boards are actively engaged in the col lection of comprehensive exhibits and in arranging slate days for the expo lit ion. South a Treasure House. The National Conservation Exposi tion at Knoxvilie during September and October will be "different." Th« displays in various Hues will be the largest, the most diversified, the most interesting ever sewn in any exposition in the South; they will compare favor ably with any exposition ever held in the United States and they will all teach graphically, eloquently and point odly the lesson of conservation, ad mittedly one of the greatest questions before the American people to-day. And about all the South —the great South, the South that is a treasure house of the nation, the South busy with the hum and the whirr of count ies manufacturing industries—will be on display iu Knoxvilie during the ex position. The Smith with Its tremend ous resources and treat industrial pro gress will lie strikingly typified. There will be much for every citizen of the country to see In Knoxvilie dur ing the exposition months, there will be much for every one to learn. EXPOSITION TO BE READY. Mat ion] I Conservation Show To Slake New Reoord In This Respect. The hundreds of tbou>«nids of visit ors from all parts of the country, and particularly from the Southern States, to the National Conservation Kxposi tion can be assured of one fact even at this early date: That no matter how curly they make their visit to the ex position after the gates are formally thrown open they wilL see the displays complete. Work is so far advanoed now that everything will be ready on the open ing day and the complete Hne of ex hibits in all of the many big, whiw buildings, and in all of the various de partments at these buildings, wffi Ifke wise be ready. Too many times in the btetor-y of ex positions in other parts of the ooantry It has happened that the first woeics saw only a portion of the exposition complete. This will iK>t be the case at Knoxvilie. LOW RATES FOR EXPOCMTfON. Railroads Have Made Gonoessions For Big Knoxvilie Show. Exceptionally low rates —the towe.st ever male for an exposition in i!to South- have been made by the 'rail roads for the National Consa-vntioii Exposition iu Knoxvilie, Tenn., during the months of September and o?'..>bm\ These reduced rates are in force Ciens ptftvt to finish of .the exposition anl will ah'ord thousands of persons livlrg within n radius of 300 miles oppor tunity to make the trip to Knoxvill* at comparatively little cost.

Wright, attorney and busirvws man of Knoxvilie, wbo is orve of the men directing affairs of South's great show. Exposition Planned for Whole People and for Posterity The •oorrtry Is facing grave prob lems, the solution of which must come from a clear understanding of conditions, and immediate action. The vwTPfc of man In dealing with the forests and soils, which were given for uae, Sind not for abuse, may aptly be compared to the work j of 3msUer forms of life, such as the boll-wee»il and army worm. The great creator probably views it in this light. Devastation is apparent on every band, in denuded hills and galled and gullied fields. For this reason and for many 1 others the National Conservation i exposition to be held at Knoxvilie ! WILL EXPLOIT SOUTH National Conservation Exposition at Knoeevtlle to Feature Mines and Minerals. Gov. J antes B. McCreary, of Ken tucky, has read so much about the National Conservation Exi>osition that Is to be bekl in Knoxvilie, ToaK, dur ing the months of September aiwOe tober. had betome so nvuch impressed with the magnitude of the exposition and its importance to the South as a whole that he recently called l>r. J. B. Koellig, State C.eologist. before him. "Dr. Hoeing," the governor said in offect, "this exposition at Knoxvilie is going to be a bfg thing, a much bigger exiiosltion for the South in every way than most iteople Imagine. I am anx ious that .you go down to Knoxvilie, look over the ground, see what is be ing (lone, and arrange for a slate ex hibit of Kentucky minerals at the ex position. Kentucky can not afford to be unrepresented. I believe." Dr. Hoeing name to Kuojtvllle, mar veled at the work being done atul at the work alneedy accomplished. He went back to Frankfort and made his report to k>v. McCreary. Kentucky will have its exhibit at Knoxvilie. The incident thus related is only one of-a number of similar character that have occurred recently. Many who could not aee things aright before, have become eonrinoed that the Na tional Conservation Exposition Is to be in reality a national exposition, na tion-wide In soope, nation-wide in char acter. The Unfted Stakes government, through its different deportments and bureaus, is taking a deep interest in the suooess of the big undertaking, and in no department probably more than in the Department of Mines and Minerals. In the first plnee the managers of the Exposition have taken into considera tion that the mineral resources of the Great New South are many and varied, that for richness of deposits there are none Ju?t like them anywhere in the country, and they have taken into con sideration the fact that there is much development work still to be done among these mineral deposit*. So a magnificent new building, white as snow, as are all of the other buildings of the Exposition, Is going up. It will be used exclusively for the display of mines and mineral exhibits. Here the resources that mean so much to the South will be on display; here the lesions of how best to con serve these wonderfully rich re sources will lie taught; hero the les sons of how best to protect the live* of fheae v.'ho to down In the mines as a means of earning a livelihood will be portrayed. next fall will mark a most impor tant stept in the world's work. The exposition is of nation-wide importance, and timely. It will not be a celebration, like othor large expositions. It looks forward— pointing the way to batter condi tions. It is in line with the ad vanced thought of the day. It will stand second to no enterprise of recent years as an :vgency for th; promotion of the general welfare. The great plans and purposes of this exposition are being carried oirt for the benefit of the whole peo ple and of posterity.—From state ment made by W. M. Goodman, Di rector General of Exposition. WOMEN AT WORK They Are Striving For SUCSMS of Na tkwval Conservation Exposition. Women all over the Soitth are work ing heart ami suul lor the suecess of the- National Conservation Kxposition that will he held in Knoxvllie, Tenu., next September aiui October. The women will have a buiUttt* on the exposition grounds devoted entire ly to them and to their interests. The building now iu course of ounstruetion will be one of the handsomest aud imiot striking in the group of exposi tion structures. It is being built in the obi Colonial style. The .building was designed for the women; it is set apart for their use. In it will be shown hundreds ;wid thou sands of things of interest to women. The woman's building will be primarily devote*! to the display of various em I) raved in that eomprebeu sive term domestic science and to the display of the arts and crafts in wMuh they will find delight and in struction. Mrn. Horaee Van Deventer, of Knox vllie. a daughter of Justice Uurton of the supreme court of the I'nited States, is hairnian of the w6ma«'s board of the exposition and Is devoting much of livr time to the work. Mrs. Van Deventer is getting splendid as sistant from the women of other great Southern states. NO ADVANCE IN HOTEL RATES. Vtettrors to National Conoorvatiqp E». position To Be Well Treated.

Many les sens remain to be learned: there is , still much in the lan 1 and In rh? meth oi> of its best cultivation still to be tuught. Land shows are. compara tively speaking, a new institution. They have done mtx'h to educate the j people. The 00-nsorvatlon of the soil of the T'tnted State* is one of the greatest projects undertaken in this twentieth century of progress. And the Land Show at the National Cinsurvation is going to exemplify the must advanced thought along these ; li'ies. Building Is All Ready.
