Treasured Trees.

Two trees to be seen in the main street of Thorshavn, the capital of the Farce Islands, have an interesting history. Trees resolutely refuse to grow in these islands, except in some few sheltered spots, and the inhabi- tants therefore prize them greatly. When the road was made it was de cided to leave the trees in the middle of the carriage way rather than be guilty of the crime of felling them Wide World Magazine

Knoxville to Surpass Its
Success Of Last Fall
President Taft Notable Visitor-Ex-
position In Interest of Entire
Appalachian Region.

So successful was the Appalachian
Exposition, held in Knoxville, Tenn,
during the fall of 1910, that the enter.
prising business men of that thriving
city have determined to repeat the
great exploitation again during the
present year.
Accordingly, announcement is made
that the Appalachian Exposition of
1911 will be held in Knoxville, Septem-
Der II to October l, inclusive. Prep
arations that have been contaminated,
and plans that are now being devel-
oped, indicate that the exposition of
this year will far surpass that of 1910.
This assurance being positive, guar
antees that the exposition of 1911 will
be the greatest undertaking of it's kind
ever projected in the South. The
achievement which the efforts of the
promoters are realizing is highly cred
liable to Knoxville and to the entire
Appalachian region, and the whole
south as we'll.
The Appalachian exposition of last
year attracted national attention.
Visitors attended from practically ev-
cry state in the union. The bulk Of
the patronage was from the Appalach-
ian states, Tennessee, North and
South Carolina, Georgia, Alabama,
Kentucky, Virginia and West Virginia.
The resources and developments of
these states were aexemplified in the
exhibit buildings, and though very
complete, the displays Of this year bid
fair to be superior in every particular.
In addition to the instructive feat
ures, the exposition Of the present
year will include an amusement pro-
gram, the like of which has never
been seen before in the South. A great
constellation of midway attractions
has already been contracted for, and
others are being obtained from day
to day. The result will be a midway
that will be spectacular and dramatic
in the fullest sense, and that will
entertain the thousands of visitors In
most interesting manner
Among the visitors to the exposition
next fall will be President William H.
Taft, Governor Woodrow Wilson, OF
New Jersey; Gov. Harmon, of Ohio;
Hon. Champ Clark, speaker of the ma

treated in haphazard way at pres

way officials who are required by
law to give bond sometimes serve
without bond, or with insufficient or
insOlyent sureties.

not taken seriously even by some Of
