sEDALIA's ROOM.
Because Sedalia has been misrepre.
scented We take this opportunity II
speak of her work. On the second
floor of the Missouri state building
she has a neatly carpeted platform
upon which is the most elegant plan,
found in that part of the building.
The room in which this platform j.
placed has eight large windows front
ing north, south and west, the drape
ries on these windows are of soft silk
in blue, terra-cotta and gray, artist
caliy arranged over folds Of pearl
Mniie lace. The coloTing. material,
and arrangement OF these draperies
attract universal admiration. for in 70
state building are the windows of am
one room so handsomely furnished,
and the furnishings of these windows
are part of Sedalia's contribution
toward identifying the Missouri state
building.
On the walls are the portraits of
Gen. George Smith. Major Gentry,
Colonel james, so familiar to the ciri-
zens of Sedalia. Another picture OF
which Sedalia may well he proud of,
is the cultured face of of Mr.. Lee
Montgomery, found in the Princeton
EXHIBIT, to which college he is a credit
and an honor.
FIRST IN SOME THINGS.
While our building does not rank
first in the ground, we have the salts
faction Of knowing that in the agri-
cultural, horticultural and mining ex-
hiblt, we are surpassed by no state in
the union. There is nothing in oui
mining display without significance
We have made a speciality OF lead anc
zinc. Everything is arranged system
atically and is labeled. In the from
We have a relief map showing the geo
logical formation, mineral springs
etc, of the state, which attracts mucl
attention. A pile of pig lead weigh
ing $50, 900 pounds, representing the
amount of metal produced in this
ore every fifteen minutes; pile OF
zinc weighing 5000 pounds, repre-.
senting the amount of zinc produced
every fifteen minutes. Fourteen tors
of ores in huge masses, representing
the amount of concentrated lead AMI
zince produced in the state every four
teen minutes. all of which are vast
monument Indicative OF Missouri's
natural resources and wealth.
GOLD, DIAMONDS, ETC.
While in the Mining building VIC
noticed the gold display from Brazil,
diamonds from Cape Colony, many of
which weigh 2s2 carats, AMI are in the
rough; some are yellow, others clear,
and others black. The central figure
of the Montana exhibit is the silver
statute of justice, modelled after Mis-
Ada Rehan, which is much admired.
Its base proper is octagOna and is
gold, the cost of same being 1925, 900.
1t supports a silver globe, upon which
are the maps of North and South
America. On the front of the CLOS,
is engraved our emblematic national
bird Standing on the globe, in strii-
ing attitude. is the form of Miss Az,
Rehan, holding in one hand % sword

Pennsylvania, are to be classed among
the leading attractions of the build

LANDING OF THE cAIAvELs.
We may not tell you more, for We
wish you to visit the lake with us
and witness the most beautiful scendi
our eyes ever beheld, the Landing oil
the Caravels.
As you know the caravels are sim
ply reproductions of the three vessel.
that sailed out of the harhor of Palo,
on the 3rd of August, 1892, and unde,
the wise guidance of Christopher Col

nent. 4
These vessels were constructed With
much difficulty, nothing being access
bic save the sketches found on the
maps of the Naval Museum at Mad

heir high sterns and bows, their
