EDITORS OF THE MESSENGER.

EDITORS OF THE MESSENGER,
Gentlemen 1t NAV be
of interest to your readers to know that
Maryland is well to the front at st.
Louis. Many of the most influential
social. political. and business men of ST.
Louis have gone from Maryland, and
have grown up with the great western
industries and become rich,-President
of Rail Roads, Presidents of Banks. and
many other prominent positions are fill.
ed by Marylanders, and the very name
OF Maryland seems to strike tender
spot Ill their hearts. 1t was very graft.
tying to see the enthusiasm displayed.
and the welcome accorded to Governor
Smith and his staff. wherever they APP
peared. General l.. Victor Baughman,
Chairman of the State Commission to
the Louisiana Exposition, has wide
acquaintance and circle of friends in
different cities, while his courtly and
urbane manners gave special distinc.
ton to the party of Commissioners,
rendering the trip most enjoyable to all.
Maryland has been allotted most
favorable location for building. lot
No 23. near the South entrance, and
situated in the best part of the Natural
Park, were only trees will be cut neces-
sary for the erection of the State build
ings. 1t is Maryland's opportunity for
advertising her products. -there is no
reason for our being behind-we should
be well ahead in the procession. l have
attended most of the fairs since the
Chicago Exposition but this one is out
lined, and sufficient work has been done
to show that it will far surpass all pre-
vious efforts of our great country. The
people of the country are bending their
energies to make it success. and 1
trust that every person on the Eastern
Shore, will start now to grow something
to exhibit at St. Louis in 1904, such as
strawberries raspberries. currants.
grapes. peaches. apples. on any fruit.
Small fruits may be kept in glass jars in
formalin. which l will be glad to fur
nish. with directions for using. The
Eastern Shore has a wide spread repu-
tation for the flavor and quality of her
fruits, and we should see to il that this
reputation is fully sustained by our ex.
hibit at ST Louis next year. will be on
ly too glad to arrange to exhibit for you.
without any cost of transportation on
your part. any products you may have,
seed corn, wheat, oats. rye. pumpkins,
potatoes, or any other vegetable. Willy
you not help to make the Maryland
Exhibit success? Yours truly,
