Thousands of requests have
come to the Committee in
Charge to extend for an
other week or two the Gen.
tenary Celebration.
BUT IT IS IMPOSSIBLE
TO DO so.
THE CLOSING DATE
SUNDAY, JULY 13-
MUST STAND AS ORIG
INALLY PLANNED.
And this Is why this greatest
Exposition Of modern times
must close its doors on Sunday.
July 13:.
It's success-and ft IS q Re.
markable success. as all con-
cede-has depended on the self
sacrificing efforts Of many
hundreds Of volunteer workers
who cannot possibly remain at
their posts longer than Sunday,
July 18th
A few might remain. without
serious detriment to their per
sonal affairs, but BIG ENGINE
such as that which has furnished
the power for this Centenary
Celebration Columbus, cannot
run smoothly with great many
Of the parts inactive.
EVERY ONE Of the splendidly
Jealous and intelligent group of
volunteer workers Is necessary
to the smooth running of the
Exposition
Therefore, with so many hun
dreds unable to continue. the
BIG ENGINE of which they are
essential parts, must shut off
it's power Sunday, July 10.
AND so, WITH MANY RE
GRETS, AND WITH DEEP AP-
PROBATION OF THE MAGNI-
FICENT TRIBUTE PAID THE
CENTENARY CELEBRATION
BY THE HUNDREDS OF
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE
THAT HAVE SEEN 1T, THE
COMMITTEE BOWS TO THE
INEVITABLE AND MI T
CLOSE THE GATES SUNDAY,
JULY 10.
1t is a significant thing that on
several of the days since the
Centenary Celebration started
Friday, June 20th-the attend
ance has been larger than was
the attendance at that much
heralded prize fight which took
place at Toledo last Friday.
WHICH SHOWS THAT the
millions-the heart and con-
science and real manhood and
womanhood OF the country
stand back of and Loyalty sup
port the big things done in the
world to make 1t better-such
big things. for instance. as find
expression in the more than
10000 individual exhibits dis
played at the Centenary Cele-
bration, State Fair Grounds, Col
umbuS.
Each one Of these exhibits REP
RESENTS A TRIUMPH for the
grand work done by thousands
of self-sacrificing men and wo-
men in teaching their brothers
and sisters in all parts Of the
world how to benefit themselves
by adopting Christian standards
of living and applying them
selves to helpful. constructive
industry.
Surely you will wish to see
these wonderful exhibits at the
| Centenary Celebration before
| the gates are closed Sunday
evening, July 18th.
Furthermore. l am sure you will
want to feel the same thrill that
so many visitors have told me
they have felt. They tell me
