how much better, it is for him to

team in front of the plow. I
To show that agriculture and live j
stock breeding are closely related and i
car not be separated. j
To prove that great opportunities? j
opportunities as great as exist anywhere?for

kind probably ever held in the South.
As the object of the National Exposition
is to teaoh the 7esson of the necessity
of conserving the natural resources
of the country, so, too, will the
object of the Live Stock Show to teach
a lesson?the lesson of conservation.
By displays and exhibits of finelybred
animals?horses, cattle, sheep
and swine?and also by comparisons
between these well-bred beasts with
sciubs will the lessons of the Live
Stock Show be taught. Noted men of
the live stock world will deliver lectures
from time to time. There will
be other features forming a part of the
show that will be new and novel and
o? a character never seen at a similar
show in the South before.
The premium list is large. The total
amount offered in premiums in all departments
of the show is $14,000, and j
these premiums are so arranged that |

"line of exhibits.
CHECK YOUR BABY
Here Is Something New For
Big National Conservation
Exposition
BIG CHILD WELFARE EXHIBIT
Miss Julia C. Lathrop, One of Country's
Most Noted Women, at Head of This
Department for Knoxville Show?
Every Mother Will Be Interested in
Exhibits.
t
"Check your baby, madame?"
This is going to be one of the queries !
that will be heard frequently during j
the progress of the big National Conservation
Exposition in Knoxville,
Tenn. The exposition will throw open
its gates on September 1 and will con- j
tinue until November 1.
The "Baby Checking Department" i
will be only one of the many novel
things that the progressive men and
women in charge of the Child Welfare
Exhibit will arrange for the exposition.
The question asked above and answer- J
ed affirmatively does not mean that
baby will be checked, tagged and then
put in an oblong compartment like a
suit case. Rather, it will mean that
baby will be taken in charge by com- !
petent nurses and well cared for.
There is going to be a "babies' j
roem" in the Child Welfare Building j
at the National Conservation Exposi- j <
tion, a room, well lighted, airy, screen- i
ed and daintily furnished. There will | be
plenty of room for the children to j ,
romp and play; there will also be cozy 1 3
rest rooms, where the little ones can ' ^
sleep when their eyes become heavy j
and their little legs tired.
Experience has shown that many *
mothers, rather than miss the show, <
such as the National Conservation Ex- t
position will be must bring the little c
ones. The management of the expo- <
sition welcomes the children. It wants
every child to see the wonders on display.
But at the same time the women
in charge of the Child Welfare Department
realize how necessary it is
to have a place where mother can
leave the children. So the "Baby 1
C
A

Conservationist and head of National ]

vation Exposition. (
Checking Department." It will be a ^
place where mother can leave thechUdren
and rest assured of the fact that
they will be having the best kind of a (
time, and that they will be looked 1
after every minute of the day. 1
Baby Health Contest.
I: is also proposed that in the Child
Welfare Building there shall he a ^
"babv Health Contest." The one ob- 1
jeer, of this contest will be to set up a
standard of health for the babies. (
The absurd features?too often cruel? 3
of many baby shows will be done away y
vith by this feature. The Babies' ,
Clinic of Knoxvilie has agreed to cc- *
operate in the "Baby Health Contest."
Here is the way in which it will be
carried on: First, there will be a standard
score card. Then the physical development
of the child is compared
with the score card, and a certificate
or medal is given in accordance with
the facts. There is no competition between
babies, but only the effort to
reach a standard. But the very purpose
of the Child Welfare Department
of the exposition would not be served
unless there were something further.
There will be advices to mothers offer?
A V., * nnmnatn r> f men onfl wnmon
CU U? IUVU uuu nuiiitii.
Thus the f-hild will be benefited and
also the parents.
These are only two or the many features
rhat will form a part of the exhibits
in the Child Weifaie Building at
the expe-it ion. Miss Juli.i C. Lathrop,
chief of ih?' the Children's Bureau of
the United States Pepartmenr of Labor
and one of the most noted women
in the country, is in full charge of the
plans and preparations that are being
made for these exhibits. Miss Lathrop
was for many years associated with
Miss Jane Addams in the splendid
wcrk that is being done by the Hull
House settlement in Chicago.
TO INTEREST CHILDREN.
The one aim and object of the managers
of the National Conservation Exposition
in Knoxville in arranging for
a Child Welfare Exhibit is to teach valuable
lessons to the parents of children
and to the children themselves *
Sharpe Convicted of Seduction
Acquilla Sharpe, a young white man
and a school teacher, was convicted
late this afternoon by a jury upon the
serious charge of seduction, after a
trial which lasted throughout the day.
His accuser, together with his alleged
off-spring, were in the court room
throughout the trial, and a large crowd
attended out of morbid curiosity, the
court house being filled to its capacity.
At one time Judge Rice stated that unless
quiet prevailed he would order
the sheriff to clear the room. The defendant
was represented by Senator
W. H. Sharpe, who made a hard fight
for the accused, but the evidence
seemed to be wholly against the young
man. Solicitor Timmerman made one
of the strongest arguments that has
been heard in the court house here in
a long time on the part of the State.
A dramatic scene was enacted when
the brilliant Solicitor took the fivemonths-old
infant in his arms and
rlic-nl oiror? if ^ ^ ?- o
uio^io^T iu utiun; CliC jurjr . OenS"
tor Sharpe immediately gave notice of
a motion for a new trial and the convicted
man gave bond for his appearance
Thursday afternoon. Sentence
was suspended pending argument on
the motion.
