orean) announces that Mississippi is
considering the matter OF exhibiting
her lumber resources in the form Of q
diminished reproduction Of her new
million dollar State House, designed
by Theodore C. Link of st. Louis, who
has consented to supervise the repro
duction.
In the same issue 1t r~ejoices be-
cause "a telegram from Jackson, Miss.
March 10, states that plans are on
foot to raise $5O 1000, in addition to
the $50, 900 appropriated by the Legis-
lature, and get up q Mississippi dis
play eclipsing that of any other
Southern State at the Worlds Fair"
In speaking of the favorable reports
from home and foreign lands, the Bull
letin a y provision for State exhibits
has been made in New York. Penn
s~ylvania, Ohio, Illinois. Wisconsin,
Minnesota, Kansas, Nebraska, Colo
RADIO, Missouri, Mississippi. Georgia,
South Carolina, Arizona, New Mexico
and Oklahoma. Bills for the same
purpose are pending in the Legisla-
lures of other States. Where the
State Legislatures will not meet in
time, or are hampered by constitu-
tional restrictions. the people have
taken the matter In hand, as in Texas
and Arkansas. and confidently declare
that their exhibits shall be the most
attractive displays at the fair. Nearly
all the States referred to will have
splendid buildings on the exposition
site, and Illinois, Missouri, Texas.
Kansas, Arkansas and West Virginia
have already selected the grounds for
their buildings.
1t would be we'll for some Of the
critics among the newspaper folks
(anu some of the people at large) to
read over with care the following sen.
sible editorial In a recent issue of the
J Ellisville News, from the forcible pen
Of Mat Gray:
mo matter whether you agree with
| the Governor upon his choice of a
, Worlds Fair Bureau, and with the
| bureau upon its choice Of a commits.
4, sioner OIL not, there is but one thing
for the loyal Mississippian now to do,
and that Is to contribute by every
: means in his power to the exhibit
made by Mississippi at st. Louis. The
: News would be glad to see the City
( Council take action by appointing a
/ committee of patriotic citizens to see
that an exhibit be prepared here in
4 Ellisville as we'll as for the county.
e Every citizen has a direct interest in
e the exhibit to be made, and every ono
should do all in his power to add to
the effectiveness Of the exhibit. The
value Of such advertising is direct and
very great. The principal need of the
t State at this time is capital for its
development. The Worlds Fair will
e present the resources and opportuni
ties to millions of people, many OF
e whom are seeking opportunities fol-
e profitable investment. Aid all you
e can"
6 In reply to a number Of letters from
. correspondents over the State, We
take this means of stating that up Il
> the hour Of this writing the Governor
e and his associates of the bureau have
Il not given out any appointments, mol
have they, or Commissioner Henry, as
IS yet decided upon the matters of such
a interest to the public. When they dc
thay will ua fool cpra Op,,~,iaa t<
their decisions to the people, in whose
n interest they are laboring. The worl
Ie before them is great in it's scope, ant
D they have a high duty to perform IL
IL the proper performance of the tasks
t. assigned them by the State. Hence
it is only just to them and to the PEG
pie that they go about the whole mat
" ter with deliberation and give il care
10 full thought. They are now postinl
a. themselves on the matter in it's every
,f phase, reading and studying about thu
s. past expositions, informing themselve!
