wrIyois West virginia day at the

July IS West Virginia day at the
jamestown exposition, and the
selection Of this date gives great
satisfaction to the people OF the
state. June 20 is the natal day OF the
state, but at that time West Virginia
university and other institutions Of
learning over the state were in the
midst OF their annual commencement
exercises, and the wheat, oats and hay
baryests were in full blast, so that 1t
was decided TO fix upon a date that
would accommodate as many people as
possible. For these reasons July 2
was selected, and It is predicted that
there will be more West Virglnians at
the exposition on that day than at any
other during the season.
An elaborate programme has been ar
ranged to appropriately celebrate West
Virginia day, and the prosperous daugh'
ter of the mother OF states will be very
much in evidence on that occasion.
Addresses will be delivered by the gov
eraors Of West Virginia and Virginia,
the secretary Of the treasury, the presi-
dent of the jamestown exposition
United States senators and other dis
tingutshed officials.
Besides the regular exercises at the
exposition auditorium and West Vir-
glnla building, there will be a dedica-
ton of the massive column built of
West Virginia coal, and in the evening
there will be a special reception at the

clous circumstances aud is crowded

the number who enter the portals are
many people of the Little Mountain
State who express profound admlra-
tion for the handsome structure and
qualification at the creditable showing
made by the commonwealth. AL
though possession Of the building has
been had for only few days, the work
of putting the place in order has pro-
ceeded very satisfactorily, and West
Virginia headquarters are complete and
ready for the guests Of July 2, whep
the formal opening of the state build

display in the West Virginia exhibit at
