KOFiilt, Gambier National Conservation Expo sition To Be Big Event of the Year SOUTH'S GLORY ON DISPLAY Exposition Will Be One of the "Differ ent" Kind and Will Be Greater In All Ways Than Anything Ever Seen In This Section of United States Before. The National Conservation Exposi tion that will be held In the pictur esque city of Knoxville from Septem ber 1 to November 1, of the present year, will be the one big event of tbo year iu the South. No meeting, no gathering, no con ference, no exhibition of any kind will overshadow in importance the Nation al Conservation Exposition. It will bo national in scope, national in charac ter. The National Conservation Exposi tion baB been planned along broad lines and is designed to teach the great lesson of tho necessity o' con serving the resources that nature has so oountlfully bestowed on the coun try. More especially will the necessity of conserving the immense resources of tho South lie brought out and em phasized at the Exposition. Following are a few facts that give some Idea of the magnitude and the alms of tho National Conservation Ex position: The exposition plant represents aa outlay of over $2,000,000. The site of tho exposition Is in the most beautiful park In tho South?a park that nestles In the foothills of the great Smoky mountains, picturesque, rolling, green, highly Improved. Eleven Big Buildings. The exposition grounds embrace with lakes and drives over one hun dred acres. Never was a site for an exposition with more natural advantages chosen, never one better adapted to exposition pui poses. Eleven large exposition buildings, modern, stately, snowy white, as well as a number of smaller buildings, will house this exposition. Railroads realize the importance of tho exposition and are cooperating in every way in the enterprise. National leaders of conservation with Clifford Plnchot as chairman are directing the exposition. Sixteen Southern states have formed boards for exposition work and these boards are actively engaged In the col lection of comprehensive exhibits and in arranging state days for the expo sition. South a Treasure House. The National Conservation Exposi tion at Knoxville during September I and October will be "different." The displays in various lines will bo the largest, the most diversified, the most interesting ever seen 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 edly 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 bouse of the nation, the South busy with the hum and the whirr of count less manufacturing Industries?will bo on display In Knoxville during the ex position. The South with Its tremend ous resources and great Industrial pro gress will be strikingly typified. There will be much for every citizen of the country to see In Knoxville dur ing the exposition months, there will be much for every one to learn. EXPOSITION TO BE READY. National Conservation Show To Make New Record In This Respect. The hundreds of thousands of visit* ors from all parts of tho country, and particularly from tho Southern States, to the National Conservation Exposi tion can be assured of one fact even at this early date: That no matter how early 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 advanced now that everything will be ready on the open ing day and the complete line of ex hibits In all of the many big, whtto buildings, and In all of the various de partments of these buildings, will like wise be ready. Too many times In the history of ex? positions In other partB of the country it has happened that the first weeks saw only a portion of the exposition complete. This will not be the case at Knoxville. LOW RATE8 FOR EXPOOITIONv Railroads Have Made Concessions For Big Knoxville Show. Exceptionally low rates?the -owest ever made for an exposition In the South?have been mado by the i ail roads for the National Conservation Exposition In Knoxville, Tenn., during the months of September and October* These reduced rates are In forco f?cin start to finish of tbo exposition anl will afford thousands of persons living within a radius of 300 miles oppor tunity to make the trip to Knoxville at comparatively little cost. FIRE DOG UNWELCOME GUEST Even Boarding Him One Day In thO Week Almost Gives Woman Nervous Prostration. Ask any fireman's wife what day In the week Bho dreads most, and the chanceB are she will tell you tho day the flro station dog takes his meals at her house, says tbo Philadelphia Times. "Not that we don't like the dog," one woman said, "but because we have to be so careful about our cook ing. The men at tho station where j my husband works are afraid to bring I Barney up on restaurant food. They think ho will thrive better on good homo cooking, so they tako turns at entertaining him. "Wednesday is his day here. He comes for all three meals. It is a day of anxiety. If I make things too rich Bob Bwears I'll give Barney Indiges tion. If they aren't rich enough ho will not be sufficiently nourished. I don't mind cooking for Bob nor for any amount of company, my mother in-law Included, but fixing things for Barney gets on my nerves."

WORK FOR CLOUD SPOTTER Humble but Indispensable Adjunct ln< the Process of Taking Mov ing Pictures. "Among the new Jobs that modern life has originated," said a statistician, "that of the cloud spotter is interest ing aud odd. The cloud spotter doesn't, of course, make spots on clouds. No, no. He stand on a high roof with a costly field glass and he continually notifies his employer, a moving- picture maker, of the condi tion of the heavens. "You Bee, for an elaborate moving picture play a steady, uniform light is essential. The pictures must be taken all in sunshine or all in clear gray light. Otherwise they differ. Some are weak and some strong. They don't match on the screen. So the cloud spotter on the roof, searching the heavens with his glass, studying the course and velocity of the wind, as sures his boss of a good half-hour or hour for photographing a movlng-plc ture play, and thus saves a waBte of films that would otherwise be many times larger than his frugal salary."
