HO! FORKNOXVILLE National Conservation Exposition To Be Big Event of ihe Year SOUTH'S GLORY ON DISPLAY Exposition Will Be One of the "Different" Kind and Will Be Greater In , All Ways Than Anything Ever Seen In This s?r.tin? i i-i? va WIIKCU ovaies Before. The National Conservation Exposl * tion that will be held in the picturesque city of Knoxville from September 1 to November 1, of the present year, will be the one big event of the year in the South. No meeting, no gathering, no conference, no exhibition of any kind will overshadow in importance the National Conservation Exposition. It will be national In scope, national in character. The National Conservation Exposition has been planned along broad lines and is designed to teach the great lesson of the necessity of conserving the resources that nature has so bountifully bestowed on the country. More especially will the necessity of conserving the immense resources of the South be brought out and emphasized at the Exposition. Following are a few facts that give ' some idea of the magnitude and the alms of the National Conservation Exposition: The exposition plant represents an outlay of over $2,000,000. The site of the exposition 1b in the most beautiful park in the South?a park that nestles in the foothl.is of the great Smokv mmintoino _ v M..v?..io, 1/iv.iui coquo, rolling, green, highly improved. Eleven Big Buildings. The exposition grounds embrace with lakes and drives over one hundred acres. Never was a site for an exposition with more natural advantages chosen, never one better adapted to exposition purposes. jA Eleven large exposition jQplings, modern, stately, snowy white, as well as a number of smaller buildings, will house this exposition. Railroads realize the importance of the exposition and are co-operating in every way in the enterprise. National leaders of conservation with Oifford Plnchot as chairman are directing the exposition. Sixteen Southern states have formed boards for exposition work aiid these boardB are actively engaged in the collection of comprehensive exhibits and in arranging state days for the exposition. South a Treasure House. The National Conservation Exposition at Knoxvllle during September and October will be "different." The displays in various lines will be the largest, the most diversified, the most interesting ever seen in any exposition in the South; they will compare favorably with any exposition ever held in the United States and they will all teach graphically, eloquently and point* edly the lesson of conservation, admittedly 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 countless manufacturing industries?will be on display in Knoxville during the exposition. The South with its tremendous resources and great industrial progress will be strikingly typified. There will be much for ?v#>rv pi?i?on of the country to pee in Knoxvllle during the exposition months, there will be much for every one to leafa. EXPOSITION TO BE READY. National Conservation 8how To Make New Record In This Respect. The hundreds of thousands of visits ors from all parts of the country, and particularly from the Southern States, to the National Conservation ExposU tion can be assured of one fact even at this early date: That no matter how early they make their visit to the exposition 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 opening day and the complete line of exhibits in all of the many big, white buildings, and in all of the various departments of these buildings, will likewise be ready. Too many times in the history of expositions in other parts 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 EXPOSITION. Railroads Have Made Concessions For Big Knoxvllle 8how. Exceptionally low rates?the iowest ever made (or an exposition in the South?have been made by the rail* roads for the National Conservation Exposition in Kooxville, Tenn., during the months of September and Oc.ober. These reduced rates are in force firm ?mm % w <iuivu w? iuo va|/v0itr;n au<i will afford thousands of persons living within a radius of 200 miles opportunity to make the trip to Knoxville at comparatively little cost. ... ' I PRESIDENT CF N.U3MAL M; bbmhh^HHK|&^ *' 'v>; I W' ^9 T. A. Wright, attorney and bin one of the men directing af Exposition Planned for Whc The country le facing grave problems, the solution of which must come from a clear understanding of conditions, and immediate action. The work of man in dealing with the forests and soils, which were given for use, and not for abuse, may aptly be compared to the work of smaller forsns of life, such as the boll-weevil and army worm. The great creator probably views it in this light Devastation is apparent on every hand, in denuded hills and galled and gullied fields. For this reason and for many others the National Conservation exposition to be held at' Knoxvllle WILL ZXPLOIT SOUTH i \ National Conservation Exposition at Knoxvllle to Feature Mines and Minerals. Gov. James B. McCreary, of Kentucky, has read so much about the National Conservation Exposition that is to be held in Knoxvtlle, Tenn., during the months of September and October, had become so much impressed with the magnitude of ?the exposition and its Importance to the South as a whole that he recentlv called r?r r n Hoeing, State Geologist, before him. "Dr. Hoeing," the governor said in effect, "this exposition at Knoxville is going to be a big thing, a much bigger exposition for the South in every way than most people imagine. I am anxious that you go down to Knoxville, look over the ground, see what is being done, and arrange for a state exhibit of Kentucky minerals at the exposition. Kentucky can not afford to be unrepresented, I believe." Dr. Hoeing came to Knoxville, marveled at the work being done and at the work already accomplished. He 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 wno could not see things aright before, have become convinced that the National Conservation Exposition Is to be in reality a national exposition, nation-wide in scope, nation-wide in character. 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 first place the managers of the Exposition have taken into consideration that ?he mineral resources of the Great New South are many and varied, that for richness of deposits there are none Just like them anywhere in the! country, ana tbey have taken into consideration the (act that there is much development work still to be done among these mineral deposits. So a magnificent new building, white an 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 lessons of how best to con serve these wonderfully rich resources will be taught; here the lessons of how best to protect the lives of those who go down in the mines as a means or earning a livelihood will be portrayed.
