THE EXPOSITION
Is RAPIDLY TAKING ON THE
FORM OF THE DREAM CITY +.
OF HAMPTON ROADS. IL Y

Eight miles from the city Of Nor
folk on the southern shores Of Hamp-
ton Roads, there is rising as If by
magic, beautiful Exposition City,
that will be introduced to the world
on April 26th, 1907, as the Jamestown
Ter-Centennial Exposition. Push and
progress are everywhere in evidence
and the big exhibit palaces; state and
government buildings, are all but
completed, and the beautiful grounds,
one of the features of the exposition,
have taken on the appearance of a
veritable dream city. .''"
No section Of the country is so
hallowed by history making events
as that portion of Virginia on and
about the historic waters of Hamp-
ton Roads, wherein this exposition,
commemorating the three hundredth
anniversary of the first English
speaking settlement in America, is to
be held. For this reason the celebra-
ton will embody; not only an in
dustrial, commercial and educational
display, but an elaborate historical
review of the growth and progress of
the entire country during the three
hundred years of its existence.
Owing to the fact that the James
town Ter-Centennial is the first Elk
position ever held in this country, on
deep water, the United States govern
ment has come forward and invited
the nations of the world. to participate
in the grand naval display to be held
in Hampton Roads during the period
of the Exposition. Every type of
fighting craft, from the smallest and
most obsolete gunboat to the largest
and most formidable Man-of-War
will be anchored off the shores of the
Exposition, giving a splendid idea Of
the growth and expansion of naval
construction from its earliest stages.
The Naval Pageantry float, coupled
with the military display ashore,
promises to be the largest and most
spectacular feature of its kind that
the world has ever seen.
The Industrial display, while it will
compare favorably with those of any
of the previous expeditions, will be
selective rather than general, includ-
ing every branch of industry of which
the country can boast, but selecting
a typical exhibit of each. In this man.
ner, visitors to the Ter-Centennial will
have the pleasure of viewing a COM
prehensive display Of the industries of
the country without. having to wade
through an endless labyrinth Of SINH
lar exhibits. -,
The landscape design, together with
the natural beauties of the grounds
and the artistic exposition, govern
ment and state buildings, all of the
old colonial style of architecture,
grouped along the water front, will go
to make up the most attractive exposi-
ton that this country has ever seen
and the historic shores of Hampton
Roads will be the center for all eyes in
1907.

A PERTINENT QUESTION

The Dutton correspondent Of tn
ExPRRss inquiries:
Has anyone written to the de
PaFtment stores, patronized 50 lib.
eralIv by our people, to find out
what they viii do for the storm
suferersl"
lisa very pertinent question
and should set some Of tire folks
who patronize the mail order
houses to thinking.
Thousands Of dollars are annual
ly sent to the mail order houses by
our people, by farmers and others,
because 1t isfancied that these peo-
pie sells goods cheaper than the /
home merchant. As a matter Of
fact they do sell at lower prices but
they are cheaper goods. in most
cases inferior articles that don't
compare in quality with the goods
sold by the local dealer. When
the freight and differences in
quality are considered they are not !,
cheaper.
But another phase Of the pro-
position is raised by our Dutton
friend. When misfortune overtakes
the communiIy,it is the home mer-
chant who is called upon for as.
sistance. Nobody ever heard Of a
sonl'less msil order house respond
ing to the call Of suffering and
need. The home merchant must
bear the burden and he does it
most cheerfully. just as he bears
his part when a church or a school
house is to be built or when a do
nation is needed for any other pur-
pose.
The truth is that the home mer-
chant IS the friend of his custom 4
ers. Instead Of being possessed
with the desire to rob them. as
some people wrongly imagine, he
wants nothing but fair, living pro-
fits for his goods and he gives full
value in goods for every dollar in

DIDN'T CARE ABOUT STORM
Major Who Faced Terrible Account
Tangle Was willing to Give
Up Life to Be Freed.

Capt. William r. Stone, OF the
artillery corps, who is now sta
toned at Fort Hamilton, tells this
story of an officer of the volun-
teers who served in Cuba during
the Spanish-American war:
Many of the volunteer officers
were careless about their ac-
counts, and did not pay the atten-
ton which the regulations re
quire in the matter of keeping
track of their company equip
ment. When the war was over
and the regiments we're ordered
home to be mustered out, the Off
GERS suddenly remembered that
an accounting was coming. The
books and papers of some of the
regiments were terribly tangled.
The duty OF Strengthening out
the affairs of one of these organ
izations fell on major, and from
the time the transport left Cuba
be worked like company of ex-
pert accountants trying to un-
ravel the tangle. Every day he
became a little more disgusted.
When the transport was off the
Georgian coast, a terrific storm
swept down upon it. She was
making bad weather of it, and the
majors fellow officers were great
~ alarmed.
"Do you think we are going to
sink?" asked one.
'Don't bother me. | don't
know. I'm not up on storms.
Ask the captain of the ship" the
major told them.
One after another during the
day the officers sought out the
major, who, in spite Of the rolling
of the ship, was still working over
the muddled accounts. They
wanted to know about that storm.
"We can't possibly weather
this, do you think?" was the ques-
tion from a ranking officer. 81
guess our end has come"
The major could stand it NO
longer. 1--WE told you again and
again that ! don't know anything
about storms at sea-" he snapped
'but ] do know this: I'm willing
to give up my life to get rid OF
you fellows, and these-ac
counts"

TELEPHONE NEWS SERVICE
Clever Editor Devises Plan Which In
Now Used by Hundreds Of
Phone Companies.

Several years ago an editor in
a small Illinois town conceived the
notion of strengthening his sub
scription list, and, incidentally,
making a little money on the side,
BY running out farmers telephone
lines into the surrounding Terri
tory, relates Success. Anywhere
from Is to 30 telephones were put
on one line. The farmers paid one
dollar a month for the service, and
ia addition to having the free use
Of the line for telephoning among
themselves, and to the merchants
Of the town, they had even a great
er boon. The editor, as an induce
ment to subscribers, inaugurated
daily telephone news service"
Every night, when he received the
latest Chicago newspapers, he
cut out the principal headlines,
summarized the headings into
news items, and at certain hour,
in response to given signal, all
the farmers on bis lines picked up
their receivers and the editor read
to them the full news of the day.
In this way families living 20 miles
from the nearest railroad or tele-
graph station had the news of the
world as quickly as dwellers in
the great cities. The idea spread,
until now hundreds of country tel
ephone companies are giving their
farmer subscribers daily news
service.
