DOUBLE SERVICE
AUTOMOBILE TIRES
Guaranteed IUUU MICS OeEFIce
Absolutely Punctureproof

Absolutely PunctureprOof
Double Service Tires are double the
thickness of the best standard make
tires.
This 100 per cent greater wearing
surface naturally gives that much more
mileage and service. The average of
II miles of tough fabric and one inch
surface tread rubber makes these tires
absolutely punctureproof.
These tires excel all others for use in
the country over rough and rugged
roads as well as on hard pavements.
They are as easy riding and resilient as
any other pneumatic tire-the air space
and pressure being the same.
They are the most economical and
''care free" tires made and are used
where tires must be depended on and
tire troubles cannot be tolerated.
Many Double Service style tires are in
use in the United States government
and European War service.
Our output is limited to certain
amount, but for short time we offer
the following reduced special prices as
an Introductory Offer:

Milwaukee, Aug. 29.-The first ex-
position of 1916 automobile models
from more than seventy-fve of the
leading automobile factories in the
United States will be conducted dur
ing the Wisconsin State Fair, Sept 13
to II. inclusive. In this respect the
Wisconsin State Fair will lead all 9TH
ers, even taking from New York and
Chicago the laurels for first exploiting
the coming years models which have
been their privilege since the incep-
ton of the motor car as a method of
transportation.
George w. Browne, the Wisconsin
distributor of the Overland, John G..
WoUaeger, representing the Studebak-
er and Frank J. Edwards, the Kissel
Kar, have been appointed a show COM
mittee by the Milwaukee Automobile
Dealers to organize and present the
exposition, and it is announced that at
least 100 models. representing the pro-
duct Of between IS and 80 factories
and valued at close to a half million
dollars. will be on the show floor of
Machinery Hall.
Attempts have been made by the
management of previous State Fairs
to conduct an automobile show repre-
sentative of the industry in Wisconsin.
Little success has attended these eff
forts. However. less than Is per cent
of the automobiles marketed in Wis
consin being exhibited on the Fair
grounds during any State Fair of the
past.
With the advent of the change in
management this condition will be
eliminated and the Wisconsin State
Fair will present for the inspection OF
visitors and prospective owners every
make of automobile offered for sale
bv the dealers of the state.
This will be accomplished through
the Milwaukee Automobile Dealers,
Inc, which organization has taken a
lease of Machinery hall and under its
auspices there will be exhibited pleas
ure cars, motor trucks, automobile ac-
cessories, motorcycles, portable gar
ages and detachable motors.
Machinery hall will be devoted ex
cIusively to the automobile and its ALI
ed trades. The building is $50 feet
long by $50 feet wide and 1880 square

In addition to the bands announced,
there will be an orchestra of nine
pieces in the Stock Judging Building,
a similar orchestra in the Dairy Build
ing and two Orchestras in the Machin-
cry Hall, where the great automobile
show will be held
Still another band will be a ladies'
band of twelve pieces which will be
seen among the eighteen free attrac-
tons to be shown at three different
locations on the grounds each day.
Some of the Midway attractions also
will have bands, so that the State Fair
this year will be a gigantic carnival of
music, as we'll as the greatest eXposi-
zion and show Wisconsin ever has
presented.
One of the memorable incidents of
each days program will be a parade
of all free and paid attractions and all
bands on the grounds. This parade
will take place each morning at II
O'Clock. It will rival the famous Ring
ling Brothers parade.
All of the bands playing at this

SIS Furlongs Running.
Last year was Mr.. Whites first year
as superintendent of speed, and the
universal opinion of the 1914 State
Fair racing was that it was the best
ever seen in Wisconsin. Among those
who expressed this opinion were all
the turf writer's who witnessed the
racing, including Joe Marque, the dean
of harness racing experts.
Prospects for excellent racing this
wear are of the best. For the seven
early closing events there were 2O3
entries, an average of twenty-nine, the
largest average so far in the west,
and much better showing than has
been made by Minnesota and Iowa
this year. Entries for late closing
events close on August 23rd.
A special purse of $4,000 has been
set aside for a special match race, and
the contestants for this event will be
announced later.
Horsemen will receive the careful
consideration given them by the SUI
perintendent of speed in 1914.
The State Fair track has been care
fully looked after all year and will be
lightning fast, if the weather is favor
able.

Penrod was out in the yard staring
at the empty marquee The sun was
on the horizon line, SO far behind the
back fence, and western window Of
the house blazed in gold unbearable to
the eye. His day was nearly over.
He sighed and took from the inside
pocket of his new jacket the Sling
shot" Aunt Sarah Grim had given him
that morning.
He snapped the rubbers absently.
They held fast, and his next impulse
was entirely irresistible He found
shapely stone, fitted it to the leather
and drew back the ancient catapult
for a shot. A sparrow hoped upon
a branch between him and the house,
and he aimed at the sparrow, but the
reflection from the dazzling window
struck in his eyes as he loosed the
leather
He missed the sparrow. but not the
window. There was a loud crash,
and to his horror he caught a glimpse
of his father, stricken in midshaving,
ducking a shower Of broken glass,
glittering razor fourishing wildly.
Words crashed with the glass, stem

Penrod stood petrifed, a broken
sling in his hand. He could hear his
parents booming descent of the back
stairs, instant and furious, and then.
