The Rock Island has undertaken
10 interest the southwest in an en-
hibition TO be held next year in Lon
don, and one which the Panhandle
of Texas should he represented. Why
should this rich empire halt at an
opportunity to now capture laurelS

march on to England he made by
sending over an exhibit which will

BODYBUILDING and material success,
Regarding the exhibition and Ameri-
ca the London Chronicle has the fol-
lowing:
Next years Ear's court exhibit
ton Is to be devoted to the Col
den West and American industries"
1T Is now more than twenty years
since a representative exhibition Of
American manufactures and products
has been held in this country, Yet
Uncle sam has many notions which
are worth studying, and many things
to show The old country which arc
worth seeing, After all the bust
ness carried on between the United
States and the United Kingdom COM
priscs one-fifth OF the commerce of
the world, and, in spite Of artificial
barriers, it Is Increasing. And thore

"The United States sends us the
raw materials OF many OF our staple
industries. In spite of the effort to
promote cotton growing within the
empire, Louisiana and the Carolinas
send us the bulk OF our supplies Of
raw cotton, and the ranches and
wheatfields of the great west pro-
vide a large share Of the bread and
beef which appear on our tables.
But the manufacturers of the,
states have been abreast of all the
world in working up their raw ma
tcrials. Their labor-sayng machin-
cry is to be found in all factories of
Great Britain, And the forthcom-
ing exhibition will enable the British
manufacturers and importers TO see
examples of the very latest depar-
lures in machinery and machine tools
for which America is so famous,
In word, the exhibition will
comprise carefully selected examples
OF the products of the farms, ranches,
forests, fisheries, manufactures,
mines and quarries from the states.
Besides this, the arts, archaeology
ethnology, natural history, domestic
economy, recreations, and sports of
the American people will be Illus
lrated by carefully selected and clas-
sified examples.
And efforts will be made TO draw
upon the romantic history, the mar
yelous development, the ardent life
and the fascinating natural features
Of Che great continent, which stretch
es from the Atlantic to the Pacific.
