VOU must not miss the great Centennial
l. Exposition to be held at Sedalia, August
S-2O, in connection with the annual Missouri
State Fair. The Grand Opening on August 8
will inaugurate two-weeks' celebration OF the
one-hundredth anniversary of Missouri's ad-
mission to the Union In 1921. An appro-
priation of $15O00O0O has been made by
the State Legislature for the celebration; and
it will be Missoun's greatest show. The ex-
hibits and entertainment features far surpass
those of any Fair Missouri has ever had.
THE Pageant of Missouri, stupendous
spec acle depicting in fifteen scenes the
history Of the State, will be presented each
night of the Centennial. Five thousand per-
sons will enact the play on mammoth
600-foot stage. Exact replicas of the first
steamboat to land at St. Louis, the "Zebulon
M. Pike" and the first railway train in Mis-
souri, have been built for the Pageant"
A commission of historians has approved as
historically correct and authentic the story,
the costumes and the settings of the produc-
ton. The perfection of the Pageant in
this respect makes it valuable as dramatized
textbook of Missouri history
Beginning with the explorations of De-
Soto, LaSalle and Marquette, and continuing
to the present time, the action of the "Pag-
cant" depicts the evolution Of mighty SOW
ereign state from wilderness. In magnif-
cent scenic environment, with magical light
ing effects and correct periodic musical en-
bellishment, the intensely interesting "Pag-
cant" is a spectacle you viii never forget.
The most scientific stage devices will be used,
securing unusually realistic effects. "The
Pageant of Missouri is the dramatic event
of the century.

New Roof Slopes to Center-JoeI NJ.
Stearns Establishing Wholesale
and Retail Hardware Business.

Removal of the fourth story of the So
called Taft building ON Flat street has
been accomplished and the new roof is
practically completed. 1t slopes toward
the center, where drain pipe connects
with the sewer. One of the main reasons
for the change in the roof was to pre-
vent an excess of water running of the
roof between the Taft building and the
Barber building, next east, the space
between the buildings being SO narrow
that the basement of the Taft building
was damp at all times and there was
danger of the foundation being under
mined.
The increased amount of light in the
municipal court room and other rooms
on the west side of the Barber building
through the removal of the top story iS

property in that vicinity is reduced
