STATE EXHIBIT COMMITTEE COMPOSED OF CAPT. STEARNS AND JUDGE J. VINING HARRIS TO MANAGE CAMPAIGN. { A committee composed of Capt. Clark D. Stearns, chairman, and Judge J. Vining Harris has now been appointed by the Arthur Sawyer Post of the Ameriean Legion to han- die the local division of the drive for funds for financing the Florida ex- hibit at the Sesquicentennial ‘Inter- national Exhibition, June 1, in Phila- delphia. , At the last meeting of the Post, the question of assisting the state of Florida in the state wide drive.to secure funds for financing the ex- hibit to be held June 1 to December 1, 1926, came up for discussion. Captain Stearns and Judge Harris were appointed, and a third member to be chosen by them. It is the sense of the motion, writes Roy E. Fau'kner, post adjutant, not to have a campaign covering the en- tire citv. but for the committee to approach the Chamber of Commerce, the: county commissioners and the ety council and to endeavor to se- cure the city’s quota from them. In this manner the whole community will pay its share and not just a few. The post has not been advised as to its quota. i At the Jacksonville conference of the department executive committee, post commanders and adjutants, a resolution was passed to the effect that the Legion of Florida would raise $200,000 for the purpose of giving the state of Florida an ade- quate “All Florida” display at the Sesquicentennial. The week of Feb- ruary 22 has been set aside for putt- ing over this project for the state. There will be a “Florida Pa‘ace” at the expositioz, and all space sold to the individual exhibitors shall .be approved by the’ Florida State Cham- ber of Commerce, under whose super- vision it shall be placed. This.state display will cover 28,940 square feet of space and will be representative of the entire state of Florida; show- ing its resources, industries and other | assets on one large composite ex- hibit as they apply to the state. | The “Florida Palace,” as projected, is to be of the Spanish type, with an_ open court in the center, where there will be a pool, surrounded by’ palms. Captain Stearns said that it is de- sired to ey West well repre-' sented at the exposition during the period of six months that it will run. Representative displays of the indus-_ tries in the city, fishing, cigar mak- ing, the sponge industry and others. A suggestion, he offered, was a mini- ature Over Sea Highway, showing the: keys and how they are connected. e@eerer ees 7 * severws ODD AND INTERESTING @eseseesesereses * worm spins his silk, the flax plant pro-!
