sources of the United States will be
taken up as soon as the country set
ties back to peace basis.

ardent supporter of the movement for
ten years. Mr.. Harper was one of the
local civic leaders who organized the
American State Exposition Associa-
ton in March of 1917 to further the

entered the war before all the dele
gates could be appointed and the work
of the association was dropped while
all attention was turned toward pros

would be more appropriate than to
have each state represented by
separate exposition building in Wash

the products and industries. OF the
state. With such q series OF build
ings erected here. he pointed out. the
hundreds OF tourists who visit the
