Returned Home From The Ex Expo-ition

returned ftOne FfOI he EA po~itioh'
Mr.. and Mrs A. L. Spencer returned
Monday from their ten days visit to the
jamestown Exposition and other points OF
interest in the East. Both report very
enjoyable trip and an excellent time.
They spent day or two at the Exposition
grounds but found it incomplete in many
ways and advise that il people desire TO
see it at its best to 60 there about the last
of September or in October. The Mich
gan building is yet long ways from being
finished and the grounds about It, as well
as many other points and places, is in a
chaotic state. Vern c. Divine, who also
visited the grounds. says the same thing,
although there is now great deal Of in
terest to see and much information can he
gained in the exhibits. He was particu-
larly interested in visiting the great battle
ships lying in the harbor and also OF the
government works in building its long lines
OF piers fronting the grounds. which are to
be pertinent and form safe harbor.
