Der II, and continues to October /,
will have place to eat and sleep. The
many large and modern hotels of that
city have made extraordinary prepare.
tons for taking care of crowds during
the exposition period. And this will
be at no advance in rates. Hotel pro-
prietors and managers have assured
the exposition officials that no extra
charges will be made on account of
the exposition visitors. Several hotels
have made extensive improvements
since the exposition of 1910, and are.
therefore, better prepared than ever
before to care for large crowds.
In addition to the hotels, Knoxville
has innumerable restaurants, where
meals may be had at any hour, day or
night, and at most satisfactory prices.
Knoxville is the center of one Of the
finest meat end produce sections Of
the south, and it's market affords the
best and freshest and most season

will be conspicuously placarded. Any
policeman or street car conductor or
citizen will take pleasure In directing
strangers as to where to find the pub
lie comfort bureaus. This arrangement
makes 1t possible for every visitor to
procure a home within half an hour
after reaching Knoxville. AS stated
above, the prices for rooms and board
will be most reasonable. and positively
will not be advanced.

LIVE STOCK SHOW
At STATE FAIR
Greatest Exhibit of the Kind
Ever Seen i'm the
South.

The Tennessee State Fair is in class
with the International Show at Chicago
and the Royal Live Stock Show at Kan
sas City, Mo-, when it comes to beef and
dairy cattle. The growth of this depart
ment of the great fair has been nothing
short of remarkable. No such show is
to be seen anywhere in the South. Stall
after stall for solid mile are lined
up with the best herds to be seen any
where. 1t is one of the biggest and
best features of this great exposition
and attracts thousands of people from
every section of the country. The very
best in every variety is shown and in
great numbers. The show ring, which
is under cover, is one of the largest in
the United States, and one full day could
be consumed in examining this exhibit
alone. 1t is show within itself, and
this year it promises to be bigger and
better than ever before in the history
of the fair.
The Tennessee State Fair can boast
Of the best jack and mule exhibit in the
country. This department draws heavily,
not only from Tennessee, but from all
over the country. The best living speci-
mems are to be seen annually at Ten
nessee's great fair. The classes fill heav-
lily and competition is active from start
to finish. The jack and mule exhibit
is one of the big features of the live
stock exhibit, and the show this year.
from all Indications will alrnass anv.
thing of the kind ever attempted here.

ADJUSTMENTS AT THE FAIR.
Attractive Midway Provided for the
Coming Tennessee Exposition.


After careful investigation, with .
view of giving Tennessee State Fair
visitors the very best, highclass mid
way attractions obtainable. the Amuse-
ment Committee, of which Mr.. w. G.
Hirsig is chairman, has closed con-
tract with the Greater United Shows of
Chicago for a hne of attractions that
will surpass, it is claimed, anything of
the kind ever seen in this city.
There will be two free midway at
fractions this year, the Great Holland
and Rose Dockrell, two great equestrians
in their daring feats OH horseback, and
also La Noles, lady and gentleman COM
edy trapolene bar actors, who are artists
in their line. The main or big feature
of the United Company is the great one,
ring circus, in which horseback riding,
training Of wild animals, clowns and
other features of the big circus are in
t.oduced. There is also steel arena
in this circus, in which lions, leopards,
pumas and other wild beasts of the
forest give exhibitions. A special act
Of six lions is one of the interesting
features of the arena show. The famous
Wallace fighting lion will be introduced
at each performance.
Other Good Shows.
Among the other good shows to be
seen on the midway will be Princess
Maxine the greatest educated mole in
the world, performing many wonderful
tricks, entirely new to the. public.
'sThe Fat Peoples Convention, ~con-
sisting Of two very fat people, one
skeleton man and giantess woman,
will furnish side-splitting amusement

Little Lord Roberts," the midget, is
another interesting show that will in

RIGHTS OF THE MOTORISTS
wisconsin Judge Desertatea ON the
Rights Enjoyed by Different
Kinds of Vehicles.

A Wisconsin judge has set forth with
great clearness and force the fundamental
rights OF the motor vehicle. He puts the
case in a nutshell when he says Auto
mobiles and similar motor vehicles have
equal rights with conveyances drawn by
horses aud with pedestrians upon the public
streets. This right is recognized by statute,
though It existed independent thereof"
He next takes up the matter Of "ordi-
nary care" which most states require Of
the drivers OF motor vehicles. and defines
this as such care as persons Of ordinary
prudence and Intelligence usually exercise
under the same or similar circumstances, "
He next touches upon the rate OF speed
that is permissible with the exercise Of
Ordinary care"
THE rate Of speed is never a lawful
rate II it exceeds rate which under the
existing circumstances is not consistent
with ordinary care he says. Il Is moi
often that the rights and responsibilities
OF the motor vehicle are so concisely and
fairly stated.

MANY LOOSE AND NOISY DOORS
Several Ways Are at Hand TO stop
the Rattle of the Doors of the
Automobile.

After a car has been in use some time
especially II the body be rather weak, the
wood unseasoned or the frame unduly
springy, the doors viii rattle. Although
the actual play is very small, it makes a
most annoying noise, and in these days Of
quiet engines and quiet transmissions body
rattles and body squeaks arc exceedingly
Irritating All that is necessary to stop a
rafting door is to get a thin brass plate,
or. II preferred. one may use a thin piece
of fibre or leather, and fix it onto the
door post. OF course. q little judgment is
required. One should see that the thick
ness Of the plate is only enthusiastically
greater than the amount OF play in the
door, and II the door is loose all the way
down another plate should be fitted about
an inch or so from the lower end of the
door iamb. 1t is obviously a makeshift
but there is no other easily applied remedy
as nothing but entirely refitting the doors
would stop the looseness, and this would
necessitate repainting.

OVERCOMING OE THE TIREs
Too Many owners Load Their Tires
80 weight in Excess of that
Intended.


Considering the effects Of overlooking
tires, It Is evident every tire is designed
to carry a weight which is too often ex-
ceeded. as the shoe is only strong enough
to successfully Withstand certain pre-
determined pressure. This. however is
seldom thought Of. and many Instances
have been noted where the tires were
overloaded 30 per cent. When such condi-
tions obtain the tire will seemingly flatten.
and, as the driver will often assume the
tire is not sufficiently inflated. more air
IS pumped into the tube The combination
OF higher internal pressure than the tire
is designed to withstand, and excessive
load from the outside, causes severe
stresses upon the fabric so that IN many
instances the edges effording support for
the tire and withstanding practically all
the strain are eventually cut off II viii
be seen that the tire manufacturers ad-
vice to never overload, tires is based on
more than mere selfish, consideration of
higher selling price. and the cost Of tho
heavier tire viii be amply compensated
by the greater durability and reliability
obtained through its use.

Care NJ Tire.

II has been stated BY a motorist that it
is his experience that the rubber in tire
tubes may be kept in good condition when
the tubes are not in use by placing them
in hot water at regular intervals probably
about once month. They should be left
in the water for about ten minutes. An
other motorist recommends saturated
solution OF turpentlne in methylated spirit.
As much turpentine as the latter viii take
up, and when the solution is applied TO
the rubber the alcohol will evaporate and
leave a fine deposit Of turpentine, which,
IL is said. will prevent deterioration of the

Lewis Doty said How foreign engi-
neers and motorists look upon the best
products of automobile factories IN this
country is revealed in significant manner
by a statement of J. w. Cassell, a man of
recognized standing in the engineering pro-
fession in Germany. Mr. Cassell is one of
many Europeans who displayed unusual in
terest in the recent Madison Square Gar
den show following the announcement of
Benjamin Briscoe, president of the United
Motor company, that the products of Of
filiated companies would be manufactured
abroad and sold in a vigorous manner in
England and the continent. Mr.. Cassell

car of this type would quickly become
popular in Germany.
1T is good enough for anybody and is

! pie OF my country" said Mr.. Cassell. 1t
! is recognized that the motor car industry
in Europe is not what it should be, The
handicap comes from the fact that prices
are too high. The tendency among auto
mobile manufacturers has been TO build
many models and only a few OF each
model. That policy is not economical. The
prices accordingly have TO be raised.
That is why / say the time Is ripe for

Mr.. Cox was young man pos
sessed not only of high moral
character but of exceptional busi-
ness ability, and had he lived,
would doubtless have attained
great success in the commercial
world. About eighteen months
ago he accepted a position at the
drug store of Messrs. Weaver &

so valuable that his salary was adj

comparatively short period that he
remained with the firm.
Deceased had been in bad health
for some time, and a few weeks

Mr.. Cox was about twenty years
of age, and besides his pa.

ITALY DECLARES WAR

der Blockade. and Relentless
Battle Win be Wsssd
Without Cessation

Rome. Sept "a. 1T Is official,
announced here that Italy ant
Turkey are in a state Of war, be
ginning at half-past Two O'Clock
on the afternoon Of Friday. Sept
29th.
The reason is given that Turkey
has failed to meet the demands
contained In the Italian ultimatum.
Italy will provide for the safety
Of Italians and all other foreigners
in Tripoli and Cyreae, using to
this end all the means at her dis
posal.
The blockade of the entire coast
of Tripoli and Cyrenecia will be
undertaken Immediately, and a no
tification OF this act will be sent to
all neutral powers.
Trouble between Italy and Tur-
key, which eliminated this after
noon in a declaration of war at
Rome, dates back to 1873, when
with the making of the treaty con-
cluding the Russo Turkish war,
the powers are understood to have
agreed to permit Italy a pacific
penetration of Tripoli." Turkey
claims that this right has been re-
spected ever since. Italy has col
onized Tripoli until her interests
in that African province are very
great. She has asserted. however,
that her subjects have been mis-
treated by the Ottoman authorities
and constantly Disseminated
and frequent disputes have
arisen.
The official announcement Of
war was made late this afternoon.
