State Highway Commission
to Show Work Done at an
Exhibit at State Fair
TO SHOW ROAD MACHINERY

The Wisconsin Highway Commission
has arranged for this years state fair
one of the most complete and inter-
esting road exhibits ever assembled at
state fair.
In one large tent there will be NOV
ing pictures showing road construction
in this and other countries, and also
ordinary stereopticon pictures showing
modern road and bridge construction.
These pictures will be accompanied by
lectures given by experts from the
United States Office of Public Roads,
State Highway Commission, and manu-
featuring concerns.
In another tent will be installed the
United States model road exhibit,
which was first shown at the Alaska
Yukon Exposition and is the most com
plete thing of it's kind in America.
There will also be shown plans and
photographs of all types of roads and
bridges. The state road and bridge
engineers will be in attendance to
answer questions and to give consulta-
ton on any problem in road or bridge
construction
Back of these tents will be placed a
complete exhibit of modern road ma
chinery made by various manufacture
ers, which will cover nearly two acres
|of space. Each company will exhibit
its latest appliances and have its best
demonstrators on the ground.
These exhibits should be of interest
to town, village and city officials and
all others who use the public roads,
and it is hoped that many will take
the opportunity of acauainting them
selves with the latest developments in
the science of road building.
The exhibit will be just east of the
new machinery building near the west
gate, and is, of course, entirely free.
The fair will be held from September
18th to 10th inclusive.

ROB DENTAL OFFICES.
Offices Of DR.. Theo. Noehle in Grosve.
nor Bldg. Entered Monday Night.

"The Gold Thief" the man who has
been robbing dental offices in Northern
Illinois and Southern Wisconsin for
several years, paid Kenosha another
visit on Monday night when he broke
into the Offices of DIR. Theo. Noehle in
the Grosvenor building and got away
with gold leaf to the value of more
than $40. The man was more daring
than on former visits to the city and
he broke open the door. In the past
he had timed his visits at time to
catch the dentists out of their Offices.
The case was repored to the police this
morning, but it is probable that the
officials will not have much Of chance
of catching the alleged thief.
