National Conservation Exposition
Opens at Knoxville in September

Washington, March 14.-Quietly but
swiftly and wonderfully well, South
ern city, nestled among the blue noun
tains of the Appalachian range, has
been preparing a great exposition to
show the nation and particularly to
the Southern states how the country's
natural resources can be developed and
used to make them permanent sources
of wealth. Such is the National Con-
servation Exposition, which is to be
held in Knoxville, Tenn, during Sep
TENDER and October of this year And
it could not come at more opportune
time. The South is in the dawn of
a great industrial awakening; this
year the completion of the Panama
Canal before the expected time will
bring thousands of people through
Southern cities to the gulf on their
way thence by water to the Pacific;
its agriculture and its manufacturing
which are even now advancing as new
CT before VIII DS qulShcHSu ny thS
commerce which will follow, and the
exposition comes to crystalize this in
fluence and perpetuate the advantages
which they created. The time is ripe
for the most widespread appreciation
and application of the principles Of
conservation. The natural resources
of the south are undergoing renewed
development, and that development
should be directed along wise lines, so
that these natural riches, instead of
being wrung out of the Southland in
few short years Of dollhouse pros
perity, and the country left poor and
barren, may rather be made sources
of wealth which will bring permanent
prosperity to this generation and to
the generations to come. Economic
and scientific treatment in the pro-
duction and use Of the riches with
which nature has endowed mankind,
literally but not in inexhaustible
quantities, are not opposed to present
day progress, but are opposed to ex-
travagant and wasteful exploitation.
The Knoxville Exposition comes to
teach these principles, to show what
has been accomplished for conserva-
ton to the present and how greater
advance may be made in the future. It
comes, too. at time when new ques-
lions of great moment are in the air,
in regard to the future Of the conser-
vation policy of our government.
The exposition also plans to empha-

GOVERNOR TO
TRY Spelling
BREWER WILL HEAD TEAM IN AN
oLD-FAsHIoNED BEE TO BE
HELD MARCH "a.


Jackson, Miss, March 14.-Governor
Brewer is going to try his hand at
spelling, and his friends are wonder
ing what sort of a success he is like
ly to achieve as plain and fancy Jug
gler of mother English, la Webster.
The governor has been named as
one of the team captains of an old
fashioned spelling bee to take place at
the Mississippi Club on the night of
March "a. While his friends believe
that he can take care of himself at
plain spelling the suspicion is rife that
he is not so adept at the art as his
predecessor Governor E. F. Noel, who
spelled down the best scholars in Jack
son at one of these events about two
years ago, among his victims being
several college professors.
The old-blue backed speller will be
used for the occasion, and about thir-
ty of the leading citizens of the capt.

The Lomo theatre has booked what
promises to be the best comedy pic
ture of the week for Saturdays pro
gram. THE Ranch Girls Measure
ments' is a light breezy Western com
edy, well pictured and acted with
spontaneity. The ranch girl promises
to marry the first man who brings her
the exact number of yards required
to make her a dress. They measure
goats, horses and the chore woman
trying to get an estimate. OF course
the bashful hero guesses right. The
closing scenes are particularly funny.
Another good one on the same pro-
