This expel""' ix rare GLORIES OF PANAMA-PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION REVEALED BY COMPLETED EXHIBIT PALACES ' t President Wilson to Attend on Battleship Oregon ? Marvelous Exhibits From All Parts of the Earth Assembled by Forty-two Countries for the Hugest Conclave of Nations in History ? Many Strange Displays Will Be Shown, Among Them Edison's Great "Telescribe" ? Exhibits Increase Since War The Panama-Pacific International Exposition at San Francisco, America's stupendous celebration of the com /n ? Pnntmn fitinol. waH 96 ?or cent completed eeveral months before itH formal opening on February 20, 1916. A glance at the work that had been accomplished gave evidence that the world was assured an exposition unrivaled In Its splendor, Interest and comprehensiveness. Despite tho tremendous conflict In which Europe Is Involved, none of the European countries which had accepted tho Invitation to take official part In tho exposition withdrew its partleii ation. Prance, involved In the great struggle, reaffirmed Its decision, and a stately French pavilion, a dupli cate of the Palace of the Legion of llonor at Paris, will recall the heroic deeds of many gallant French soldiers who have won the Order of tho l^eglon of Honor in tho present eonrtlet. The exposition will be tho scene of a groat naval pageant, which will pass through the Panama canal to the Golden Gate. On March 24 President Wilson, on tho historic battleship Oregon, will reach the Golden Gate as Commander in Chief of tho Army and Navy, having led the fleet of battle shlpB of all nations which' passed through tho Panama canal in the cere monies attendant on tho official opening of the canal. Mr. Wilson and his party will bo tho guestH of the exposition until March 28. Despite the war In Europe, practically all of the nations will send ono or more of their bat tleships to attond this occasion and attest their friendly foeling for the United States. / The proud pavilions of the foreign nations, each In characteristic archi tecture of tho country It represents, lend a surpassing novelty and interest to this largest of world s expositions. Portugal, Italy, Spain, tho Netherlands, Norway, Sweden. Denmark, Greccc, Switzerland, Turkey, Persia, are repre sented nationally. German and Hrltlsh Interests are also represented. From Italy came a number of almost priceless art exhibits, Including many from the universal art exhibition at Genoa. Exhibits from the Ghent International exposition and from the exposition at Malmo, Sweden, as well as hu^e con signments from other regions, early reached San Francisco. No more won derful tribute could have been accorded to the United States than that which President Wilson. the European countries gave in a period or tremenaoun sirw?o. Many strange and wonderful exhibits will be shown, among them Thomas ,A. Edison's wonderful "Telescribe," which "is a telephone with a dictaphone attachment that records tho telephone conversations on a dictaphone cylin der. This will prevent people from cutting in on the lino aud also makes a record of every telephone message. Apart from the European participation, the exposition will be notable for its displays from other parts of the world. In its American participation, in the extent and quality of its exhibits, tn tho great number of wonderful amusement feature* and attractions of many kinds, tho Panama-Pacific International Exposition Is unprecedented Its presentation of workB of art, including sculptures and paintings, will be unexcelled. In its industrial exhibits there are presented more than eighty thousand individual exhibits and collections of exhibits, portraying th< results of the world's best efforts of recent years. Those who have road of the exposition abroad and then visited It in Its preliminary stages, pronounced tha their every expectation was far surpassed. Imagine, for the purposes of illustration, the interest, action and nov >lty oT ten great circuses like: Darnum and Hailey's in a single "greatest show on earth" and presented at ten times the cost of a single production and you will gain an idea of the magnitude of a single section of the exposition, the wonderful midway, or "Zone." A total of more than eleven million dollars is expended in this section. The nations are not attempting to show everything they produce, but will exhibit thoso products in which they excel. In the Danish display will be shown exquisite products of the KoyiJ Danish Porcelain factories at Copen hagen. Japan, in her lavlBh displays, will exhibit priceless works of art loaned under direction of the Imperial household. Kare silks and tapestries, wonderful paintings of the old masters hitherto never exhibited in the origi nal, will be shown from Italy From China there early reached San Francisco selections of priceless exhibltB col lected by the governors of the Chinese provinces; silks, Patins. carvings, inlay work and precious metals, exhibits of transportation methods employed in the old China and more modem methods employed in the awakening re public will be portrayed. The Argentine, Australia, Canada, New Zealand. Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Cochin and Indo-China, will show their resources on a vast scale. The photographs on this page give an idea of some of the most recent wonders of the exposition. HANDSOME SIXTY- PAGE BOOK ON THE PANAMA ?

If the mares are bred to foal In the fall, when work Is light on the farm and fail pastures are good, the mare need lose vep' little- time from work In the tiehlK Light work Is lieneilclal to her even up to the time of foaling, and the resultant colt, Is stronger and more thrifty, provided that the mare has been properly nourished with suc culent feed ?br a few weeks prior to foaling. The pregnant mare's grain ration should be pro|H>rtloued to the amount of work she does. About throe weeks before foaling, wheat bran should bo added, the proportion of this belng gradually Increased and other grflln proportions decreased, as foaling time approaches. v Allow the mare and the colt as much pasturage as possible, with bran and rain while the colt Is young. The colt should never Im? allowed to follow the mare on the road or iu the field, especially when the mare. Is brought In ir feeding. That mules can be raised profitably n South Carolina has been demonstra ted by several farmers In the state, who not only save the annual expen diture usually made for mule power, but also claim for the home raltA*l mule many advantages over their lm i>orted competitors.

Hutting the efliciency test t < ? cows J with the milk scales and the Babeock j tester is 'one of the essentials of con- I ducting a successful dairy. When feed is high in price a farmer cannot afford to have boarders In his dairy barn who cat up more in feed than their milk yield is worth. The Bab cm -k test will show those delinquent cows in thcifrtrue light. and the milk! scales will pu t the clincher on thear guinent. Testing cows will give some farmer* a big surprise. Sometimes the <i>w that looks like the poorest crea ture in the h?t Is the best butterfat producer. The dairy division of Ch-mson College offers to give any farmer advice about testing milk and keeping records. Test, don't guess. 1 Care for Firm Implements. U h to be hoped that no farmer has I >i 1 1 away his implement* this winter without having ol?ano?T and oiled them fhoroly and that they are now well housed. The farm machinery man at Ch-msou College states that a consld ?ruble |K>rtion of the profits of thi American fanner is eaten up by neglect of farm machinery. When going over a piece of machinery, note if any iiartx are missing, mark down the names of these parts on tags and attach the tags to the places on the machine from which the parts nre missing. This will often prove very helpful. The National Hank, of Spartanburg, has let the contract for the erection of a new home to cost $60,000, INSURE YOUR PROPERTY AND LESSEN YOUR WORRIES. , ? ??
