I have never been upstairs"
In a flying machine.
It must be a wonderful sensa-
ton to sail along through the air
between Heaven and earth.
Bird-men fly over the State Fair
Grounds at Columbus, where
the CENTENARY cELEsRA-
TiON is taking place.
I don't know whether they pur-
posely plan their air-saillng
routes to take in the great pan
Drama at the state Fair
Grounds, but notice when they
fly over this inspiring SCENE
they turn about again and again,
seemingly greatly attracted and
impressed.
What man has done in produc.
ing the flying machine, the sub
marine, wireless telegraphy, the
telephone, the AUTOMOBILES, the
tractor and the many other won
derfui, useful and progressive
things of the worId-has been
fairly matched by the composite
genius of many minds In produc-
Ina the CENTENARY CELE-
BRATION COLUMBUS.
So many unusual, instructive,
appealing and delightful things
have been assembled in this
CENTENARY CELEBRATION
COLUMBUS that you will mar
vel at them just as we have all
marveled at the genius Of man
In uniting Gods power with his,
for the betterment Of the world,
as has been done In hundreds Of
ways.
But the greatest Of all benefits
that comes of uniting Gods pow
er with mans is THAT WHICH
THE PLANE OF APPRECiA-
LIFTS MEN AND WOMEN TO
TiON OF LIFE, it's duties and
its beauties.
To see former cannibals and
head hunters live like civilized
beings gives one confidence In
humanity.
Ohio people should be very
proud of their great Coliseum at
the State Fair Grounds, Columbus
"a building that seats 1850 people
and has such splendid acoustic
qualities that the voice carries per-
fectly to all parts Of it and is heard
distinctly.
TO divert just moment:
Ohio people should also he very
proud of the great Oval Amphi-
theatre at the State Fair Grounds
where more than $1,000 people can
be seated comfortably.
/ don't know how many other plac-
es there are In America where 5O,OOO
people can be seated to see part of
Great Exposition, but there are
not many, that's certain, so the
State of Ohio may be counted as IA
Great Leader I'm producing at its
Capital such splendid facilities for
the entertainment of her people.
No wonder the managers of tho
CENTENARY CELEBRATION
SELECTED COLUMBUS as the
place to display its marvellous ex-
hibits.
