ARKANSAS IS ENTHUSIASTIC

western Newspaper Union News Service
 Little Rock.--The European war will not seriously affect the Panama Pacific Exposition. It will open on it's schedule tune, February 20, 1915.
 Col. F. B. T. Hollenberg, commission er-general for Arkansas, on Wednes- day received telegram from Charles U. Moore, president of the exposition asking for information as 10 the atti- Jude this state will assume toward the enterprise in view of the disturb Ing character of the European war
 Tt should be borne In mind" says President Moore" that the commercial importance of the Panama Pacific In ternational Exposition is enormously enhanced by the economic situation arising from the European war. Much as the situation itself must be de plored, 1t is useless to deny that it has aspects of advantage to the na- tons at peace Expert opinion is practically unanimous that the war will give powerful impetus to almost every branch of commercial activity in this country. Far-seeing manufacturers with this in mind already are deluging us with requests for increased exhibit space in which to show their goods to the great distributors and consumers of Central and South America and the nrinnf fna h an enormous broadening of the market for practically all American products and manufactures. Regarding attend ance, the effect of the European war, to judge. will be rather to increase than 10 diminish travel to California Tn 1915. There Is certain to be a great exodus from Europe as soon as transportation facilities will allow. The usua! enormous tide of travel from the United States to Europe will in 1915 undoubtedly be turned to Cali fornia. Furthermore, the American farmer and small business man is likely to have an even greater average financial ability to travel than he has ever enjoyed before"
 After a careful review Of the situa. ton, and consultation with Governor Hays and others, Commissioner Hol- lenberg replied as follows:
 AS you know our legislature did not appropriate money for the Panama Exposition. Enthusiasm in Arkansas for participation is very great. By pri- vate subscription we have about $25.- GOO. We are confident of raising fully $l00 000. Arkansas resources are un- bounded and our people are anxious to display them and disseminate infOrma- tion regarding them to the world. We will have splendid exhibits in agri- cultural horticultural, mines. educa- tional, fine arts and other branches. All who understand the situation are in line with you, believing that the European war situation will not act as a deterring element in the success of the exposition. If you desire further information, please consult Commis sioner George R. Bedding, now at the St. Francis hotel"

One Too Many.

The bus was rolling up Fifth avenue in a heavy groundswell, on a murky night. Perhaps 1t was only that the chauffeur and conductor were both sleepy, or maybe it was only the mug giness that deceived them
 On the corner at Thirty-fifth street stood, waiting to cross, belated de- livery boy, holding erect by the waist a dressmaker's dress form. The chauf- feur thought he detected a fare, and slowed his craft in to the curb. The conductor looked out through the fog, shook his head. and rang the bell to go ahead

 No sir! I'm getting too much as it Is. You could get any number of men to fill my place for half the money"
 But our profits are so great we don't know what to do with them"
 Sorry; but to encourage me in that sort of thing would only result In dis aster. Besides, if I got more money my family of nine children might get enough to eat And if the practice should spread. the whole civic fabric would be upset"

This photograph is from the Lyman
FL. Howe reproduction of the Panama
Canal, one of the features of the new
Travel Festival coming to Bells Opera
House on Wednesday, May 13. 1t was
taken when one of the gates which
guard the approach of the great locks
was being formed.
AS most readers of this newspaper
know, the canal is virtually completed
and there Is water in it. 1t is only a
question now of the formal opening Of
the "big ditch" to the commerce Of
the world Already small vessels, canal
tugs and the like have passed through
the canal.
The big locks are double, so that
vessels can pass In either direction,
inst as trains do on turnout or dou
BILE track. Each of the three locks
represents different level for the ves'
sells passing through.
In passing from ocean to ocean In
either direction a vessel takes three
steps upward and three downward by
means of the locks. A vessel entering
from the Atlantic side is tied up tt
the wall at the entrance. There hel
officers are relieved of her command
A Government official takes the bridge
and another is placed in the engine
room. A vessel is not permitted t.

bow and two others similarly place.

locks. After ship has left the high
est locks at Gatun she is afloat in the
lake. She then proceeds through the
canal proper to Pedro Miguel. There
she is lowered to the level of Mirafiores
Lake. At Miraflores she take two
other downward steps through locks.
Then she reaches the level of the
Pacific and may proceed without diff
ticulty.
1t is not only as portrayal Of the
greatest engineering feat since the
dawn of time that makes the repro
duction of the construction Of the
Panama Canal so notable. Nor is it
merely the purely mechanical aspect
Of the scenes. But this reproduction
has still deeper significance in that
it records how man can conquer nature
by patience, tenacity of purpose and
perfect organization combined with
engineering and mechanical genius,
and aC the same time can reproduce so
lucidly how Uncle Sam consummated
task of heroic proportions. The
scenes reproduce what is indeed a
| triumph for Uncle Sam-the greatest
OF any age. And from Photographic,
human interest, instructive and any
other standpoint they are likewise a
crowning achievement for Lyman FL.
Howe as an exhibitor. No verbal de-
scription of what has been accom-
plished could possibly convey-ever
remotely-the profound impression
which these scenes must impart or

old. This splendid series is so be
