STATE FAIR PROGRAM SET

Helena, September IA, 1916.-Every
day will be big day at the Montana
State Fair and everything will be il
readiness on the first day according
to the latest plans which call for the
most elaborate weeks program ever
offered by the state fair. Orders
have gone out that every exhibit must
be in place before Monday Of fair
week and when the gates swing open
the exposition will be complete in ev-
cry detail.
The state fair management is un-
der obligations to do this as Helena
has decided to close up shop on Mon
day and turn out en- masse to make
opening day the biggest in the fairs
history. The school board of the
capital city has turned the children
free all week, which will be another
factor in making each each day one
Of record attendance.
Half-fare rates on all railroads and
special trains from many points in
the state will lure thousands to Hell
ena. he directors have designated
Tuesday as Eastern Montana Day,
Wednesday as Western Montana Day.
Thursday as Butte and Anaconda Day,
Friday as Great Falls and Northern
Montana Day and Saturday as Auto
mobile and Commercial Travellers Day.
With large influx each day increas-
ed by the general state attendance
the attendance total should climb
above previous years
The Helena Commercial Club al
ready is at work on the rooming bu-
reau which will be conducted for the
accommodation of visitors with assur-
ances that hotel and rooming facil-
tiles in Helena will be better than in
the past.

tenders front and rear, which con.
form to the curve of the wheels in
most modern fashion.
Besides these external changes
which add a great deal to the general
appearance of the car, there are two
minor changes under the hood One
is the fitting of shield around the
fan. this concentrating the air and
insuring its going to the whole of
the radiator surface as an aid to eff
cient cooling, and the other is the
fitting of an electric horn. This horn
is mounted at the right rear side of
the cylinders between them and the
steering column. 1t is of the vibra-
tor type and is arranged to operate
from the current of the fy-wheel
magnetic, and the button is mounted
on the steering column just under
the wheel.
There are no other changes, the
wheel-base and body remain identical
with the previous model. The new
radiator shell is stamping in two
pieces. one the shell proper and the
olher the top portion that bears the
Ford name stamped in it. The IA
miliar Ford filler cap and radiator
spout of brass protrude at the top
Now that the radiator is enameled,
there is really very little brass about
the car, only the filler and hubs caps
being of the metal formerly used.
The shape of the new radiator is
very pleasing in that there are no
abrupt edges as in the type that has
been familiar the world over, the new
shell having rounded edges, where the
side parts of the shell curve into the
top portion, and the front edge is also
rounded over. The new hood is pro-
vided with louvres in the sides and is
50 shaped that there is an unbroken
line from the radiator to the body
proper, and it. as we'll as the radiat-
or and tenders, have been given a
high finish. The tenders are sub
stantial DRESSINGS that are free from
vibrations when in position on the
car. They are we'll fastened to the
chassis and body.
