now taking shape rapidly. Giant struc-
tures of truly massive grandeur are
being erected.
In all there are fourteen palaces of
exhibits to be erected by the Exposi-
tion Company in the middle section of
the World's Fair. The other two see-
tions are to be occupied on the west
by pavilions of foreign nations, of
which twenty-four have accepted the
invitation to participate, and on the
east by an aggregation of amusement
concessions which are to be of the
most novel and entertaining kind.
Panama canal?
Figures and statistics will not suffice ,
to tell at this date, because, apart from
the inevitable beneficial results which
must accrue to all countries blessed
with a coast line bordering one of the
extremities of the new waterway, the
ultimate good that Texas will reap
from the canal will be culled from the
action taken by Texas herself.
Upon cotton Texas builds her main
hope. She is the greatest producer of
that necessity in the world. Her ex-
ports are largely to the orient and to
the west coast of South America,
where are the greatest consumers of
cotton cloth. The Panama canal will
bring those customers of Texas near-
er by several days' time and by
leagues of distance, thereby creating
a quicker and more expeditious supply
to a demand that is continually in-
creasing. The rich corn and the full
crops of wheat, the multifarious fruits
and the ever widening supply of cat-
tle which Texas is producing year by
year-these, In addition to its com-
mand of the cotton industry, are com-
modities for which the Lone Star State
will find new markets upon the open-
assuring other countries of the world
of their natural and industrial power
Half the advantage of a good shop
window is the manner in which the
goods are set out. A well arranged
store will always sell more than a
store which is a jumble of effects
thrown together in unmethodical pro-
fusion. America has determined that

Many of the nations of Europe and
China and Japan in the orient already
have officially accepted the invitation
of the president of the United States
to take part in the United States cele-
bration of the nation's grandest
achievement. A more complete repre-
sentation of the Latin-Americas in an
Exposition has never before been made.
Of the western countries which have
realized that they will find markets at
the Exposition are Bolivia, Chile, Cos-
ta Rica, Ecuador, Guatemala, Mexico,
Nicaragua, Panama, Peru and Salva-

J. B. Poterfield, and daughter,

afternoon.
John Simmons, of the Fuzzy
creek coun ry, was among the
ing of the Panama canal. The de-
mand will be brought into closer touch
with the supply. But how is Texas to
secure that demand to herself?
She must find the opportunity that
will present her products to the new
markets and emphasize them before
the old markets.
Such an opportunity will be provid
ed by the Panama-Pacific International
Exposition, which will be held at San
Francisco in 1915.
This gigantic festival of commerce
is by decree of the United States gov-
ernment the official celebration of the
completion of the Panama canal. The
Exposition has a purpose w hich reaches
even higher than a national assertion
of a nation's success in establishing a
means of revolutionizing the commerce
of the world. The purpose of the Ex-
position is to bring the nations of the
world together, that all may see what
all have done in their industries and
in their commercial enterprises, that
one may compare with the other and
so determine upon the best sellers and
the best buyers.
To put the situation even more pro
saically, the Panama-Pacific Interna
tional Exposition is to be the shop
window of the world in 1915. It is to
be the generat department store, the
universal bazaar of a new era. And
to that department store or bazaar
every buyer and seller in the world
1 will come to look upon the newest
product, the most modern means of
manufacturing the product into the
salable article and to learn the reason
why one thing is better than another
and why one way is more advan-
tageous to the benefit of the consumer,
to the credit of the producer and to
the welfare of the community.
Briefly, then, that is the boon that
the Panama-Pacific Exposition offers
to those who participate. It proposes
to establish sounder trade between
states, between countries and among
the peoples of the world. The Expo
sition is a peace movement of the most
definite compass. Its compass Is the
binding of nations, because commerce
is the surest tie of friendship.
And the one tremendously moving
principle of the Exposition is that the
participants in this international festi-
val shall reap Its benefits practically
