Is working like beavers but with steady and well directed purpose to the end of making vthe exposition present a completed ap pearance oy tomorrow nicni .

The gathering is the largest and most representative In the history of the organization, thl un usually large attendance being doubt less due. to the fact that Dr. Charles W.
