l,A MARVELOUS SETTING FOR SCULPTURE AT THE PANAMA
PACIFIC INTERNATIONAL EXPOSITION, SAN FRANCISCO, 1915.
Tbo dominating architectural feature of the imposition Is tho superb Tower
of Jewels which will command tho south entrance of the Court of tho Sun and
Stars. This tower, -IIIO feet In height, will have a base one Hero In extent. Tho
tower will rlso upward In terraces, giving way at Inst to n group of tlgures sup
porting a globe typifying the world. The repented llguren of armored horse
men and of explorers of tbo oceans will be used In tho tower, which, with Its
statuary, mural paintings and mosaics, will bo Indescribably beautiful. Messrs.
Carrere nnd Hustings, architects In chief of tbo Pao-Amerlcuu Exposition at
Buffalo In 11)01, are tho architects.
In Yast Gathering of States and Nations
tbo main exhibit buildings wilt form
parts of a huge group surrounding tbo
three principal courts. They will rep
resent In conception a stuiKtndous ori
ental bazaar, similar In form to tbo
linznnrs of the east, nt Constantinople,
Damascus or Cairo. Tbo roofs of the
buildings will bo colored a reddish
pink, llko Bpanlsb tile, nnd will bo
spread over the mile long group of tbo
imilii exhibit buildings extending along
the blue waters of the bay. Wonder
ful groups of statuary will tell the
story of the Panama raual.

more Impressive location for a great
maritime celebration could not have
been chosen. The imposition city will
luce north upon the stream of trallle
that pusses through the western portal
of America. On the south, east and
west rise the hills of San Francisco,
like the walls of a vast amphitheater.
On a tree lined esplanade along the
harbor's edge visitors will view gieat
maritime pageants by day. l'.y night
a series of marvelous Illuminations
proceeding from great batteries of col
ored M'nn.'lillglits will turn the UnimwI
tlou city Into a fairyland.
Ten huge exhibit palaces are under
construction at this writing, and all
f tln fourteen nriln vtiiMt imlltlliit's
will be under way by the time this ar
tlclo Is published.
One of the unhjue phases of tbe Ex
position will bo the tremendous par
tlelpation of tbo South American na
tions. Many of tbo republics will
make displays never before seen out
sldo their own boundaries.
The commonwealths of the United
Stntes will bo represented upon a
splendid scale. Thirty-flvo stntes lmvo
selected the sites of their state pn

by state legislatures aggregate mil
lions. The largest appropriation la
that of Now York state-$7OO,O0O.
The stato of Nebraska has Its patri
otic pride In America's Panama Canal
Exposition. As one of the common
wealths of the Union, It has contrib
uted Its duo proportion to the cost of
the construction of the Panama canal.
I'pou it, as well as iton other states,
rests tho responsibility and prestige
that comes with the completion of the
great canal ".it Panama. Leading citl
yens of Xebraskn, merchants and man
ufacturers jurists, legislators, railway
men, farmers, bunkers, executives, are
j now planning for a collective Indus
I trial representation that Nebraska may
stand well among her sister states of
1 this great International Me. The No

ning great things In the entertainment
of all the world on behalf of Nebraska
In llll.". and visitors from Nebraska
will find the former residents of the
home state will rejoice In welcoming;
them. Every wide awake citizen of
Nebraska Is urged by the Nebraska so
ciety to give fullest and active support
to the moveinVnt to give splendid rep
resentation to Nebraska at the Exposi

yourself with the movement. No com
monwealth In the Union has more of
Interest to show the wot Id than Ne
braska. None has resources that may
be more advantageously e.ploitcd. anil
tho advertising will be of tremendous
and lasting benellt. The ast wealth
of Nebraska In a single line of Indus,
