Plan Under Way TO Show the
Advantages OF the State
BY the Movies.

Sioux Falls. s. D., Aug. S.--A unique
method OF raising funds for the main
tcnance OF the South Dakota building
at the Panama Pacific exposition has
been adopted by the South Dakota
commission. Contracts were closed
today for the production OF a South
Dakota feature moving picture film,
showing all the business, commercial
and industrial activities Of the state.
This finn will be shown at the ex-
position each day OF the nine months
exposition, and will also be shown in
the principal cities OF the United
States as an educational feature film.
The arrangements were made by W.
G. Cook. chairman OF the commission.
with the Animated Producing COM
pany, for the entire production.
Space in the film will be allotted to
cities and industries. according to their
population and relative importance.
The offices OF the Panama Pacific
Exposition commission in Sioux Falls,
are now receiving applications for
space in this feature from commercial
clubs and booster organizations OF the
various towns.
A representative Of the commission
will call upon the various cities and
industries with corps OF camera men
and produce ~ pictures at the same
time the contracts are closed for space.
On account of the fact that only a
certain number OF feet OF film can be
run in day, Il Is anticipated the Se-
mand for space will far exceed the
amount OF footage to be allotted to
various localities.
