INTEREST IS INCREASING.
State mmissiOners at Buffalo VIII
Urge Increased Appropriation
For the Worlds Fair.

Washington, Aug. 24.-The special
committee appointed by the executive
commissioners association at the
brief stop here on their way to
Charleston, S. c., where they will be
the guests of the South Carolina Ex-
position Co.
Missouri is represented by Mr.. r. M.
Yost, of ST. Louis, secretary and SUI
perintendent for the Missouri COM
mission, who, in addition to his state
work, has been requested by Presi-
dent Francis to recommend to the
Louisiana Purchase exposition COM
pany a site at Charleston on which
the company will erect building SIM
liar to the one now at the Pan-Amer-
lean. Mr.. Yost said:
Interest in our Worlds fair is in
creasing throughout the east. The
inquiries at Buffalo are especially nu-
merous and interesting. L find that
all the commissioners now at the Pan
American are in communication with
the officials and others of their state,
urging larger appropriation than
has ever been made for a similar pur-
pose. These state commissioners are
using their utmost endeavor to help
make the Worlds fair at st. Louis the
biggest thing of the kind ever known
in this country. 1t would be good
idea to communicate directly with
those who now represent their state
governments at Buffalo. They are
willing and anxious to assist, and all
they need is information on the lines
in which they can be of greateGt value
to ST. Louis. The state commission
ers especially represent in a direct
way all the exposition interests of the
several states, and are in a position
to accomplish with promptness results
which will be tedious to obtain
through other channels. The erect ton
of the Louisiana Purchase building at
Buffalo was a happy thought, and its
existence with the Pan-American has
already done wonders in exploiting
the interest and progress of the
| Worlds fair. In my opinion we can
accomplish even more along this same
| line through the building that is to
be erected at Charleston. These forms
of advertising are. money well spent"
