JARDINE SPEAKS
To ROTARY CLUB
President of Fall Exposi-
ton Tells of Plans and
Invites Boosting.


President William J. Jardine, of the
International Soils Products exposition,
endeavored to place before Rotary club
members the magnitude of the exposi-
ton in Ell Paso next fall at the noon
Rotary luncheon Thursday. As the
principal speaker on the program he
made an interesting talk of the plans
for the exposition before a large at
tendance.
Not MOneymaking Scheme.
Il want to impress upon the people
of FL Paso that the work we are pro-
noting is not money making scheme;
il is in no way a commercial project,
said president Jardine. Anyone in FL
PasO who hopes to be enriched direct
" through the exposition is mistaken.
The ideas that the International Dry
Farming congress is promoting in put
ting on the International Soil Products
exposition are based on sound agri-
cultural principles solely for the ad-
Vancement Of agriculture in the United
States. The 10 years life of the or
ganization is proof that it is sound
I'VE hope to give the people of FL
Paso and surrounding country moro
definite idea of the aims of this or
Of men of NATIONAL reputation We are
trying u get such men to attend. We
succeeded in getting several for the
Denver exposition last year.
Needs Only Good Boosting.
Il miss my guess if the exposition
this fall in FL Paso will not be superior
to the exposition OF last year. II that
IS not so il Will be the first time the
organization has not advanced Tbs
way the FL Paso citizens are encourage
ing the WORK is really refreshing Wa
have almost everything arranged now
1t needs only good boosting to make a
pig success OF the project.
budget Arranged For
The governors and the Ell Paso adj
visory board met this morning and a
good location was chosen for holding
the exposition. The budget has been
arranged for all expenditures, a fine
list of premiums has been made and
only the minor details have yet to be
of.
of course 1t is not probable that the
exposition will have this year as many
foreign exhibits as were shown last
year at Denver. The European coun-
tries that are locked in war cannot
send their exhibits and We will have
just a few. We expect to have this
year exhibits from points as remote as
China
There should be a tremendous at
