Tliero can bu, after scolug tlio crowd which turned out at the Fair Urouud Thursday, no donylng that tlio pcoplo of the county want a Fair, and that thoy on Joy Its pos sibilities as a meeting place. It In ftirthor ovldont to ono who watches and HstotiR to tlio remarks that aro made on every hand an the spectators pauso and examine tho various axhlhlts, that they aro studying them and aro appreciative of tlio morlts or domurlts of exhibits. While HtnndliiR In tlio Main build ing for a short tlmo, Thursday at-. tor noon mo writer saw noigniiors from tho uppor county great each othor and stop for n visit. We could not holp hearing ono nolghbor re mark: "Wo oxpoctod you would ho down, and Tro hnvo soon" and thon fol lowed n list of tho folks this woman had encountered while hero at the Fair. Thoro was evident pleasure In tho mooting and In tho fact that so many opportunities wcro thus afford od In ono trip to seo folks not only from near their homo hut from othor parts of tho county. This was but ono caso. Multiply this by ovon a hundred or two, and then, wo helluva that a propor mons uro of tho pleasuros which tho Fair offers can bo attained. From Just such mootlngs as this, wo for our solves, aro convinced that tho Fair Is worth whllo. Wo bollovo that It Is a social ser vice to tho peoplo of the county which dosorvoH tho support of On tario. Wo bollovo that or right tho pooplo of tho county ninny of whom aro tho customers during tho ycnr of Ontario merennts have a right to oxpoct that tho city will support this Institution. On tho purely flnanclul sldf of tho question, tho merchants arc Hot ter able to Judgo tho results of the fair than anyono rlso. And It can not bo denied that tho Fair does not pay Ontario. It can hardly bo expected to do so. It Is not on this ground, how over, that many Ontario iiiou would Just as noon sou the fair pass Into history. It Is on account of tho de mands upon their tlmo and energy which conio Just when they hnvn ther fall business coming on to de mand their, attention. If a largo part of tha work was undurtakoii earlier In tha year. If In tlio first place tho peoplo Inter ested would deddo now this full boforo .Innunry 1 what they Intend ed should bo dona about tho fair, and start to lino up tho work Im mediately nftor tho first of the year with commltteos headed by ono man who would dovoto a portion of his tlmo to It, the burden would not bo heavy, nml greater results would ho attained. Considering the bnndlcnps'of this car, tho feeling of uncertainty that Is abroad In the land, tho fafr this year Is creditable. Messrs. Ilorrolt, lllckox and Oakes, tha directors, desorvo tho appreciation of their services which has taken their tlmo and for which no rownrd Is paid. Though thero has boon somo crit icism of Ontnrlans for not showing greater Interest, wo bollovo that this Is not altogether Just, olthnr, Most of tho business man hnvo had real problems of their own to solvo. nveryono In business knows thin to bo truo. Whnt Is lacking Is propar co-opor-atloii. Tho fair Is established. That was provon Inst weok. Tho peoplo will come. Ontario has a duty to perform ns n community as tho molropnlls of tho county, and this Is tho host way In which It can dis charge that duty. Let Ontario cen- tor Its offorts on tho Fair, pass by tho ChautnuquaH and other side at tractions and mnko tha annual visit of Its nolghhors to tho Fair an ovent which thoy will Iroik forward to from year to year. Wo bollovo that Ontario can win, and retnln tho friendships that will bo worth while. Abovo all things let us do clda now what tho plntis shall 1m. for next year. "That same tire flat again!"

Since the first tire was made, the big problem has been to produce a rubber that could stand the grind and strain of the road. Minor improvements were made in rubber compounds. Yet the basic weakness was never understood. The Thcrmold Rubber Com pany set two practical tire builders and two chemists at work on this problem. These experts learned that the weak ness in ordinary tires is due to the uneven mixing of the pure rubber gum witli the necessary strengthening materials. They Tound that in this mixing process millions of minute "lumps" an formed every "lump" a weak spot in the tire. Rcmamablc new compound Studying this problem further, thcThermoId scientists perfected Crollde a rubber compound thnt reduces "lumpy" formations to a minimum that eliminates premature tire troubles. This even -texture rubber docs not weaken with the stretching and straining that goes on inside a tire in use. Crolide Compound is today used exclusively in the manufac ture or Thcrmold Tires. Either the Cord or Fabric type gives maximum mileage under all road and weather conditions. We have compared the Thcrmold Tire carefully, point by point, with other tirei on the market today and we confidently believe that no other tire compares with It for service and durability, , You are Invited to call and tee thete new tires for youriclf alio the famoui Crollde Compound Tubes.

Tho value of many good pieces of property is lessened because there are no walks in front of them. Is This Not Truo? The only mannor in which this condition can bo remedied is to havo tho needed walks built. Tliero is no need for delay on account of high prices. Concrete walks last for many, many years, they havo not increased in cost as havo other materials. Thoy last longer and aro cheaper and better than board walks.
