And when his words have sped

He learns that he has uttered things
He never should have said
The wise man thinks before he speaks,
And when 1t is too late,
Sits down defeated and alone,

The Wabash officials did all in their
power to make the trip an enjoyable

an important factor in handling Iowa
people for the fair next year as they
have the most direct route from south

putting the road bed and rolling stock
in frst-class condition for the handling
of the travelling public. The Wabash
also absolutely controls the terminal
privileges at the fair grounds, and will
unload their passengers right at the
gate Of the exposition.

The Iowa building which appears
above has beautiful location in that
part of the grounds assigned to state
buildings. It's located at the intersec-
ton Of the two most prominent
thoroughfares, with an outlook on a
pretty plaza full Of choice flowers and
tropical plants which will extend for a;
quarter of mile directly in front 81 the
main entrance of the Iowa building.
The grounds about the Iowa building
are beautifully shaded with forest trees
and the grounds are high, being 100 feet
above the main exposition building.
The Inter-Mural Railway car line which
passes all of the exposition buildings
and the large concessions on the Pike
will have a station near the Iowa build
ing, putting it in close touch with every
part of the 1850 acres which is devoted
to the exposition. The architecture of
the Iowa building is delightful blend
ing Of the architecture of the old state
capitol located at Iowa City and of the
new state capitol located at Des Moines,
the cupola of the building being re-
production of the old capitol and the
columns and facade being that of the
new. 1t will be 6S feet wide by 100
long, including the porches. The ex-
IRENE width will be 1Os by 100 feet long.
1t will be 40 feet to the top of the roof
and 80 feet to the flag pole.
The building will be one that the COM
mission believes will be credit to Iowa
in every sense. 1t will combine the
artistic and the practical in an unusual
degree and will be roomy and comfort
able. The whole structure is of the
French Renaissance style. This is the
style of the better class of state build
