Business men who have watched the business expand know that it Isn't an accident but the reward that -comes to those who are eternally vigilant In business lines. The of the exhibitors who are coining and It is probable that wHh the Increased facilities for exhibition there will be few Indeed who will not want to take in the affair. Aid of the state farm dairying inatruc- tors and equipment made it possible last year to treat the crowds to most unusual exhibits in this line. The big state school will go even further this year and the promise Is that several showings will be made which will open the eyes of the farmers to the possibilities In this line. The home side of farm and city life. too. for that matter will not be neglected. The exhibits of csnned fruits and the thousand and one dainties In food, fine arts and textiles will be as extensive as any previous year and representative-of a greater section of the state than when the fair was smaller than It now Is. The women In whose charge has been placed the arrangement of the exhibits say that they will have rnflnltely more Interesting showings this year and they have never been accused of not knowing what they were talking about when they expressed themselves In such matters.

B2577 Lightning Can't If Strike Holds Rim-Cut Tires. Prevents Blow-Outs The flexible steel rims or bands marked B) are endless and lie flat against the Inside of the tire opposite the beads. These metal rims answer the same purpose in the 8ub-Caang that the beads do in a regular tire. When a tire is rim cut as shown by letter (ID) the Sub-Casing holds tbe pressure for the reason that the metal rims (B) are below the rlm-cut and there is no chance for the Sub-Casing to be forced through the rlm-cut, as would be the ease with ordinary rellners which are loose at the edges next to tbe bead.
