Milwaukee, Wis, Aug. 4-The open
ing day OF the fair, Sept. IA, will be
devoted entirely to automobile races.
Such stars as Tetzlaff, Carlson,
Hughes, and half dozen others OF
national reputation, will compete in
at least six = ents. The program of
races will not be announced until
about Sept. /, for the reason that
those In charge Of these events desire
to arrange the best program possible.
The state fair track Is one of the
fastest ordinary courses for auto
drivers in the world. Both Oldfeld
and Burnam have broken worlds rec.
ords over it.
Because of the fact that Sept IA
will be devoted entirely to auto races,
special efforts will be made to have as
many automobile owners of Wisconsin
and nearby sections of Illinois and
Iowa in attendance as possible.
The Wisconsin Motorist is making
earnest efforts to have big showing
OF motorists. in addition to what is
being done in this direction by the
fair board itself.
There are nearly $4,000 owners of
automobiles in Wisconsin, and of this
number about 10000 reside in Milwau-
kee county. Efforts are being made
to have $4,000 automobiles on the
grounds on Automobile Day. Figuring
five passengers to car as an average,
10000 would be taken to the grounds
In autos, il auto owners turn out as
they are expected to on this day. II
only half of this number turn out,
however, crowd Of nearly $4,000 will
be on the grounds on opening day.
For the first time since the fair has
been IN existence. an auto can be driv.
on from the center of Milwaukee all
the way to the fair gates on asphalt
pavement by the time the fair opens.
The Blue Mound road has been paved
to the Hawley road. and the Hawley
road Is being paved from the Blue
Mound road to National avenue at the
present time. This gives a roadway
without rut all the way to the fair.
A special attraction to all auto own.
ers also will be the automobile display
this year, bigger and better than ever.
The superintendent of the department
announces that he will have on exhibit.
ton the 1915 models of cars used prin-
cipally in Wisconsin, thus beating all
automobile shows in this line of ex-
hibits by at least four months There
will be many more exhibits than ever
before in the automobile department.
and the exhibits will be more varied.

USE GOOD ENGLISH
Use Good English, Even II You Are q
School Teacher.


School Teacher.
(This is Lesson XIX in series of
short, simple lessons in English, by
c. X. Rounds, Inspector of English,
Wisconsin State Normal Schools)
SENTENCES
1t is dreadful to have to admit 1t,
but there Is one error In English that
Is made rather more often by teachers
and students In high schools, normals,
colleges, and universities, than by
other educated people, and that error
is failure to use complete sentences
The written English put up by these
people isn't usually so bad, though 1t
Is sometimes bad enough, whether
coming from students or teachers; but
their spoken English though 1t may be
free from most Of the grosser errors
of speech that we have been consider
ing here, is very frequently lacking in
sentence structure.
1T Is not hard to see the reasons for
this, In the first place, teachers and
students are both likely to be In a
hurry. The class time Is short, and
there Is n sense Of pressure and haste,
that naturally results In incomplete
ness. Secondly, each knows that the
other knows something of what the
speaker Is trying to say; so he Is con
stantly tempted to start sentences and
then leave them unfinished, trusting
that the other will complete the
thought. This habit OF leaving state
ments unfinished Is particularly ap'
parent when teachers get together to
talk over their problems. 1t Is my
firm belief that II we teachers were to
talk less In n jumbled, rambling way,
and say more things carefully and full
1y to each other and to our students,
many of these problems would soon
solve themselves.
Here Is n fair sample Of one teach
er's talk: well, 1t Is hard to know
what to do when one--it certainly Is
discouraglng to finland English is
so important for--but what we are
going to do Is more than l." And
that is not the talk of poorly paid
teacher either. Teachers! We must
clean house. Let us examine our
selves. Let us not say and an, we'll ah,
why ah, that Is, ah. Let's just STOP,
and keep perfectly still until we have
n thought framed shat Is complete and
worth while. Let's know It's subject
and predicate. Then let's say 1t and
stop until we get another one ready.
Let us remember that 1t isn't neces-
sary for us to talk until we have
something to say.

A Piece of Good Road.

Bloomington Record: Speaking of
good roads, the writer recently enjoyed
an auto trip over the road from North
Andover to Glen Haven. This road is
macadamized nearly all the way, and
the town contemplates finishing the
job. They are doing part of the work
this season. When the road is com
pleted the people along the line can
hand load to or from town at any
season Of the year. no matter how bad
the weather conditions may be.

place for the storage of the product
Is arranged for
e. J. Delwiche, superintendent of the
northern branch experiment stations.
Is firm believer in root crops, and
the accompanying cut illustrates a
good form Of pit of the kind he recon-
mends for winter storage.
The pit provides for two layers Of
straw and two of earth. ventilator
of four-inch boards Is placed at the
apex. When severe freezing weather
sets In the ventilator Is stuffed tightly
with fine hay. In such a pit roots will
keep without freezing in even the cold
est weather. If desired, the piles may
be made oblong instead of conical in
shape, retaining the gable form While
pits do very well as far as keeping the
roots Is concerned it must be remem-
bered that they are but makeshifts at
best. A root house which is accessible
at all times Is much more satisfactory
and more economical in the long run.
