Ho! For Knoxville
National Conservation Exposi
tion To Be Big Event of
The Year.
Exposition Will Be One of the “Differ
ent" Kind and Will Be Greater In
All Ways Than Anything Ever Seen
In This Bection of United States
Before.
The National Conservation Exposl
t.on 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 the
year in 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 be
national in scope, national in charac
ter
The National Conservation Exposi
tion has been planned along broad
lines and is designed to teach the
great lesson of the necessity of con
serving the resources that nature has
so bountifully bestowed on the coun
try. More especially will the necessity
of conserving the immense resources
of the South be brought out and em
phasized at the Exposition.
Following are a few facts that give
some idea of the magnitude and the
alms of the National Conservation Ex
position:
The exposition plant represents an
outlay of over $2,000,000.
The site of the exposition is in the
most beautiful park in the 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
purposes.
Eleven large exposition buildings,
modern, stately, snowy white, as well
as a number of smaller bulldlngH, will
house this exposition.
Kallroudß realize the importance of
the exposition and are co-operating In
every way in the enterprise.
National leaders of conservation
with Gifford Blnchot 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
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 Amerlcau 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 count
less manufacturing industries —will be
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 he much for every citizen
of the coup.try to erg h, .. ~o x ville dur
ing the exposition months, there will
be much for every one to learn.
EXPOSITION TO BE READY.
National Conservation Show To Maks
New Record In This Respect.
The hundreds of thousands of visit
ors from all parts of the country, and
particularly from the 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, white
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 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 RATES FOR EXPOSITION.
Railroads Have Made Concessions For
Big Knoxville Show,
i
Exceptionally low rates —the lowest
ever made for an exposition in the
South—have been made by the rail
roads for the National Conservation
Exposition in Knoxville, Tenn., during
the months of September and October.
These reduced rates are in force from
start to finish of the exposition and
will afford thousands of persons living
within a radius of 300 miles oppor
tunity to make the trip to Knoxvlll*
It comparatively little cost.
Greatest Of All
Land Show at Conservation Ex
position Will Set a New
Mark.
Nothing Like Display in This Depart
ment of Big National Exposition
Ever Has Been Attempted in the
Country Before —Lessons for Farm
ers.
E D. Stratton, land and industrial
agent of the Cincinnati, New Orleans
ic Texas Pacific and the Alabama
Gieat Southern railroads, paid his first
visit a few days ago to the grounds
upon which the big National Conserva
tion Exposition will be held in Knox
ville from September 1 to November 1
of the present year. He went to Knox
ville with a party of other railroad
men. After his visit to the grounds,
after he saw what had been done and
what was being done in preparation
for the exposition, he expressed him
self in this wise:
“To say that I was most favorably
impressed would be to put it mildly.
I had no idea that such a site for an
exposition could be found anywhere in
this country. 1 had no idea of the ex
tern and character of the buildings al
eady up, and I was delighted to see
such good progress being made in the
election of the big new buildings.”
“Will your roads be represented by
a land exhibit?” he was asked.
“They will,” he replied, positively
“They could not afford to be unrepre
sented.”
This was a hard-headed man of busi
ness speaking. He had seen. Thai
was enough for him. His decision was
made.
Greatest of All Land Shows.
Ai this early date this statement can
be made positively and without fear of
contradiction:
THE LAND SHOW AT THE NA
TIONAL CONSERVATION EX'POSI
TION IS GOING TO BE, NOT ONLY
THE GREATEST LAND SHOW EVER
SEEN IN THE SOUTH, BUT THE
GREATEST LAND SHOW EVER
SEEN ANYWHERE IN THE UNITED
STATES.
I,and primarily is the basis of all
wealth. Much has been learned about
land in recent years, many lessons of
Incalculable benefit to the tillers of
th" soil have been taught. Many les
sens remain to be learned; there Is
still much in the land and In the meth
ods of its best cultivation still to be
taught. Land shows are, compara
tively speaking, a new Institution.
They have done much to educate the
people.
The conservation of the soil of the
United Stales Is one of the greatest
projects undertaken in this twentieth
century of progress.
And the Land Show at the National
Conservation is going to exemplify the
most advanced thought along these
lines.
Building Is All Ready.
The new Land Building on the beau
tiful exposition grounds of the Na
tional Conservation Exposition is com
pleted. It stands on a terrace; it is
beautiful in design, beautiful in execu
tion. In the rear of (he building is an
auditorium that will seat 3,000 per
sons. The building Is spacious and
v.as constructed especially for the
Land Show and all that goes with it.
On the lower floor of the big white
building the land companies and the
land departments of the various rail
roads will have their displays. On the
upper floors will be the educational
exhibits, and these will include the ex
hibits of the different experiment sfa
tions of the United States Department
of Agriculture in the Southern states.
Mr. Farmer, here are a few of the
things that are going to interest you
when you pay your visit to the Na
tional Conservation Exposition and the
Land Show in the Fall:
You are going to be shown in a most
striking and convincing manner how
best to maintain and increase the pro
duction of your land.
Lessons of the Show.
You are going to get Ideas on how
to improve the grade and yields of
plant and animal products.
You are going to see the soil of the
Southern country, and so arranged to
teach you many valuable lessons.
You will see exhibits that have to
do with the impoverishment of the soil.
You are going to see the best and
most modern methods of crop rotation
illustrated.
You are going to see actual demon
stiations of the way in which you can
plant and raise little known products
and thus increase the earning capacity
of your lands.
You are going to see—
What Is the use of going farther?
The sentiment that the Land Show at
the National Conservation Exposition
will be the biggest and best ever held
still stands.
The railroads are preparing to make
very extensive exhibits—the most ex
tensive they ever have made at a
Southern show.
EXPOSITION THOUGHT,
The expositions of the past were as
songs of achievement at the end of a
good day’s work. The National Con
servation Exposition will be a living
and tangible promise of a still more
glorious to-morrow foreordained by the
wise action of to-day.

Sugar in Diet.
Speaking of the importance of
sugar in children’s diet, Dr. Woods
Hutchinson says: “It is not unlikely
that the almost universal and
voutly to be thankful for
ing for alcohol in childr>*
women is due largely to the>eweet
tooth possessed by them and their in-'
dulgence in candy, cakes, fruit, ice
creams and sweetmeats generally.”
Should Have Some Superstition.
e would not give a rap for the
person who is without all superstl- .
♦ion. We would a little bit prefer the
tnan whose superstitions are pessi
mistic to the one who is so exceed
ingly superior as to think there is A
luck in life, no favor nor disfavor m
anything that may happen or in any
circumstance that may surround our
lives.—Exchange.
