James B. McCreary, of Ken tucky, has read so much about tho National Conservation Exposition that is to be held in Knoxville, Tenn., dur ing the months of September and Oc tober, bad become so much impressed with the magnitude of the exposition; and Its importance to the South as a whole that he recently called Dr. J, lt. I Hoeing, State Ceologist, before him. "Dr. Hoeing," the govotiior said in offect, "this exposition at Knoxville Is going to be a big thing, a much bigger exposition for tin; South in every way than most people imagine. I am anx ious that you go down to Knoxville, look over the ground, see what Is be ing done, ami arrange for a state ex hibit of Kentucky minerals at the ex position. Kentucky can not afford to be unrepresented, I believe." Dr. Hoeing enme to Knoxville, mar veled at the work being done and at .the work already accomplished. Ho went back to Frankfort and made his report to Gov. McCreary. Kentucky will have its exhibit at Knoxville. The incident thus related is only one of a number of similar character that have occurred recently. Many who eould not see things aright before, have become convinced that the Na tional Conservation Exposition is to be In reality a national exposition, na tion-wide In scope, nation-wide in char acter. I The United States government, through its different departments and bureaus, is taking a deep interest in the success of the big undertaking, and in no department probably more than In the Department of Mines and Minerals. In the llrst place the managers of the Exposition have taken into considera tion that the mineral resources of tho J Great New South are many and varied. I thnt for richness of deposits there are none just like them anywhere in the country, n ' they have taken Into con sideration i.>e fact that there Is much development work still to be done among these mineral deposits. So a magnificent new building, white as snow, as aro 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 tho resources that mean so much to tho South will bo on display; here tho lessons of how best to con servo these wonderfully rich re sources will be taught; bore the 168? ! sons of how best to protect the lives of those who go down In tho mines aj; a means of earning a livelihood tflll bo portrayed. , WOMEN AT WORK They Are Striving For Success of Na tional Conservation Exposition. Women all over the South are work ing heart and soul for the success of the National Conservation Exposition that will bo held in Knoxville, Tenn., next September and Ortober. The women will have a building on the exposition grounds devoted entire ly tO them and to their interests. The building now in course of construction will be one of the handsomest and must striking In the group of exposi tion structures, it is being built in the old Colonial style. The building was designed for the women; It is set apart for their use. In it will be shown hundreds and thou sands of thiiiKS Of interest to women. The woman's building will bo primarily devoted to the display of various things embraced in that comprehen sive term- domestic science and to the display of the arts and crafts In Which they will find delight and in struction. Mrs. Horace Van Deventer, of Knox ville, a daughter Of Justice l.urton of the supreme court of tho United States, Is chairman of the woman's board of the exposition and is devoting much of her time to the work. Mrs. Van Deventer is getting splendid as sistance from the women of other great Southern states. NO ADVANCE IN HOTEL RATE8. Visitors to National Conservation Ex position To Be- Well Treated. Those who are contemplating a visit to the National Conservation Exposi tion in Knoxville during tho months of September and October of this year can make their plans assured of this fact: The rales at the Knoxville hotels will not bo advanced While the expo sition is on. This has too often been the case in other cities where big na tional expositions have been held. It will not be the case in Knoxville. FISH AND GAME EXHIBIT. Under the direction of John H. Wal lace, Jr., Game and Fish Commissioner of Alabama, an exhibit of fish and game for the National Conservation Exposition is being prepared. Audu bon societies are also co operating in this work.
