appliance which bids we'll to be a revela-
ton in the comfort and convenience of
automobile driving, especially cross-eoun-
try touring. Mr., Bonney has invented
an emergency tire. which he calls 'Get-U-
Hon" ana 1t is said TO he the most sat-
lsfactory Of all emergency tires.
FITS on wheel Rim.
The tire is composed essentially Of
light but tough wood, with a metal outer
tread and rubber bumpers on the under
side. Il IL TO be used when punotures,
rips. hlowouts aud the like render a tire
absolutely useless for further travel
The wooden tire which is constructed in
all sizes, can be instantly applied to any
kind OF rim. clincher quick detachable
or quick detachable dcmountabe, and the
car can proceed 70 the closest service
station quite easily,
The tire Is applied to the wheel rim by
the application OF one stationary bolt
and cannot creep on the rim No alter
alton is necessary. as II can be put on
or taken off in ono minute.
Bumpers Eliminate JoIts.
! II is built exactly like rubber casing.
OF the same shape and appearance. IL Is
built OF one-picce wood and on the out
side Is an outer tread OF cold rolled steel,
/ perforated with S-inch holes zig-zag.
which gives II tread and which will hold
as well in mud or sand as on slippery
pavements
II Is divided into three sections. IL il
locked together at two connections. and
the third connection has a es-inch steel
bumpers set hard against the wheel rim.
80 that jolts and bumps are eliminated.
speaking OF his invention, Mr.. Bonney
declares; The Get-U-IIom should become
a most popular emergency tire. IL 10
guaranteed, the expense Is light-E.so to
IiT.5O--it stands any kind of wear. the
wood will not crack and Is even rock
proof II can be carried conveniently and
is n great comfort.

Last Many Years.
These wooden tires will last the life
time OF car and perhaps two or three
cars. They can be applied anywhere at any
time without difficulty, even much more
easily than a tire can be applied"
Mr., Bonney has made some OF the
. tires and has thoroughly tested them out
with Fred Jensen and Allie Anderson,
both OF this city, he will start the manu-
facture of these tires In Omaha so that
he can introduce them to the market by

AUTO FOLK ARE
ASKED TO DECK
CARS WITH LEI

The Carnival Decoration Committee
makes special request Of the auto driv.
ers and owners to decorate their cars
during Carnival week with the official
"Aloha" wreath. The back Of the ear
where the extra tires are carried,
lends itself most favorably for this
purpose. A big wreath placed there
shows up attractiveiy and with the
aloha" card through the center helps
remind all that this is "Aloha" time
We would particularly urge the
owners Of machines in the rent service
to follow this plan as, with Carnival
spirit prevailing everywhere, their
business will be stimulated.
These wreaths can be had from the
committee in the tWo-foot size at rs
cents, and In the threefoot size al
$1.5o each.
Pennants on the front OF the car on
either side Of the radiator would add to
the appearance materially. We believe
this trimming up will do much to boos,
the Carnival and make the 1915 event
the biggest ever.
Get into the game, Automobilists
and do your share. Boost everybod,
and everything!
Official neck leis, pennants, badge.
and hats can be had at the Y. w. C
