WHY MCDOUGALL is BEST
The Origin of the Kitchen Cab
met Idea.
MRS. RORER'S ENDORSEMENT
Wonderful Example of thePubIic's
Quick Appreciation of Merit.

When McDougalI conceived the idea
OF improving the equipment of the kit
chen, there was not a kitchen cabinet
made worthy of the name, and pract1-
cally every new idea for increasing
the value and usefulness of kitchen
cabinets has been originated and deve-
ioped in the McDougau establishment.
No less an authority on the kitchen
than Mrs Sarah Tyson Rorer has said
that ne McDougall Kitchen Cabinet
IS the most complete. furniture that
has ever been made" and, what is
even more convincing, Mrs Rorer uses
a McDougau Cabinet in her own kit
100000 Prize Kitchens.
McDougan has not been content
simply to make the best kitchen cabf-
net; his aim has been to improve the
Kitchen generally, and to stimulate
architects to take more interest in the
les OF cash prizes from 100000 down
for the best designs of ideal kitchens
Tor the average American home. Hun
dredS or designs We're entered in this
competition. The best of them have
been. selected and reproduced in all
the beauty of the original colors and
are being distributed free of charge by
McDOugall dealers everywhere
Last year, while other furniture fac
tories were practically idle, the Nc
Dougau factory worked to its fullest
capacity to supply the ever increasing
demand for McDougall Kitchen Cabi-
nets. This year many improvements
have been made, and even the in
creased factory facilities are now be-
ing taxed to their utmost capacity.
McDougan Selling Policy.
To make it possible for every home
to have McDougaI Kitchen Cabinet
q selling policy has been inaugurated
this year by which any family can Sc
cure the best kitchen cabinet made
upon cash payment of only S1.00
with additional payments of LOO each
week. The prices charged for Nc
Doqgall Cabinets on this plan are ex-
actly the same as where cash in full
is paid with the order. This Selling
policy has been pronounced by mer-
chants everywhere to be the most lib
eral offer ever made in the history Of
the furniture business.

SHOOTING AT GRAY
William McWilliams Fires Three
Times at j. T. Clark

On Friday evening of last week there
was little shooting scrap up at Gray
that resulted in the wounding of Jas. T.
Clark and the commitment of William
McWilliams to the asylum at Clarinda
McWilliams is bachelor nearly 20
years of age and for many years has had
his home with his sister, Mrs Denton,
and we understand has helped TO raise
the family always taking much interest
in the children. According to the testi-
mony he has been at times more or less
nervous and respondent and sometimes
threatened to take his own life. On
Friday evening MIR. Clark who il wild
over, took Miss Denton out riding.
When they returned,about 4 O'Clock and
she had alighted from the buggy at her
home, her uncle, McWilliams, asked
Mr., Clark il he could ride with him
around to the barn, Mr. Clark said
that he could and they drove around
there together When they got out of
the buggy and Mr. Clark was unhitching
the horse McWilliams drew a revolver
he had purchased recently and fired
three times at Clark hitting him in the
back with the second shot Clark then
him and led him down
town, the sheriffs office was notified, he
was arrested and brought to Audubon.
Saturday morning he was brought before
the commissioners and after hearing
was adjudged insane At II o'clock
Sheriff Crees left with him for Clarinda.
IL is alleged that some of the boys had
leased him by saying that if his niece
should be married he might be COMPEL
ed to go TO the Soldiers Home, the
thought of which il is said was very
distasteful to him, and it il thought the
fear of such result rather than any
dislike for Mr.. Clark caused his action.
Mr.. McWilliams was man highly re-
garded and much regret is expressed
that his condition of mind he'd to an at
tempt To take the life of another.

THE CORPORATION TAX

The American Review of Reviews
holds that as finally accepted by the
conference committee the corporation
tax will be at the rate of one per cent
upon the net income of all business cor
porations Excepted are those that have
net income of less than $4,000 year
and certain classes of corporations whose
primary object is not money making.
AS finally shaped and adopted this tax
is inconsistent from the theoretical
standpoint and open to some serious OBJ
jections on the practical side. In point
of theory it is said by its inventors to
be in the nature of an excise tax levied
upon corporations Us such because cor
porations enjoy certain privileges and
advantages that partnerships and pri-
vate firms do not possess. But if this
theoretical or legal point is the real
basis of the impost there can be no just
ground for exempting from the burden
of the tax all those corporations which,
though enjoying the full privileges of
the corporation laws, do not show ON
their balance sheets net profit 1t would
be easy to find hundreds of instances in
which two neighboring corporations
have similar capitalization, similar OPP
portunities and perhaps even similar
amounts of gross income, have very
different net earnings. Through differ
ent policies, or different methods of man.
agement the one corporation yields a
large net income and pays dividends,
while the other seems not to be produc-
ing any net income at all and pays no
dividends. Yet in reality the one is just
rs able to pay taxes as the other. There
is no reason why the general conditions
under which these two rival institutions
do business should be made unlike by
the taxing power. Taxation should be
in the nature of one of the fundamental
expenses of both of the competing cor
porations

Fayors Higher Salaries

Miss Ella M. Stearns returned from
Des Moines, Saturday, where she had
been assisting State Superintendent
Riggs in examination work. The Regis
ter Il Leader of Saturday had the fol-
lowing:
Miss Ella NJ. Stearns, superintendent of
the Audubon county schools, is one of
those to recognize the need of higher
teachers salaries i'm Iowa and through
her efforts the teachers i'm the rural
schools of that county are among the
best paid in the state. Miss Stearns says
that in two townships in Audubon county
teachers holding first grade certificates
are receiving salaries of $50 per month:
in two other townships the salaries are
$47 per month and In all the others but
one salaries of $45 per month are being
paid. These salaries are above the aver
age for the state.

of the maximum and minimum section
of the statute, and to enable officials to
administer the law, gives a wide lati-
tude for the acquisition, under circum-
stances favorable to it's truth, of infor-
nation in respect to the price and cost
of production of goods at home and
abroad which will throw much light on
the operation of the present tariff and
be of primary Importance of officially
collected data upon which future execu-
tive action and executive recommends
tions may be based.

BILE excise measure which lis hoped will
produce sufficient amount to prevent
a deficit and which incidentally will Sc
cure valuable statistics and information
concerning the many corporations of the
country, step toward that degree of
publicity and regulation which the ten
dency in corporate enterprises i'll the last
twenty years has shown to be necessary.

Meant Nothing Serious

III anyone happened to meet Miss Ella
M. Stearns hurrying down the Larland
road about $3.50 Monday evening we
want to assure them that she was not
walking In her sleep and that il meant
nothing very serious In fact she was
very wide awake looking for surprises
that might meet her along u lonely road
ON II hot summer night The cause of
her walk was punctured tire. DIR.
Brooks, who was called out that way to
see patient, took with him Mrs. Brady,
Miss Stearns and Mrs. a. g. Ross for "a
ride in his pet Overland But unfor-
tunately when about mile from the
nearest telephone u punctured tire caused
u sudden stop. The doctor had new
tire with him but on account of his
broken arm he was not able to fit IL on.
So Miss Stearns made a hike for the
telephone where she called for help and
Mr. Petty went 10 their relief. Repairs
were soon made, the doctor went to see
the patient and Mr.. Petty brought the
ladies' home.

tunity should be missed no trouble
should be counted too great to keep it an
active force in our lives. 1t would seem
appropriate that out of today's reunion
should grow an old settlers association
which should serve to bring together at
least once year those men and women
that are bound together by quarter- of
q century's acquaintance that we may
FURNISH up our fading memories of many
kindnesses received each from the other
In this way will we come TO more and
more appreciate the value of the friend
ship that has grown within our hearts
through veal and woe, through good
and i'll, as beautiful flower is unfolded
from the bud by the action of the sun
shine and the rain.
We cannot too often meet together
and renew the spirit of our youth as far
as lies in our power, for viewed through
the vista of three decades, it would seem
as if the pioneer possessed in large
measure the spirit of the builders of the
wall of Jerusalem, who helped every
one his neighbor, and every one said to
his brother, Be of good courage.

OFFICIAL PAPER OF AUDUBON COUNTY
AND OF THE TOWN OF AUDUBON.
THE PRESIDENTS ENDORSEMENT


President Taft gave his Endorsement
to the tariff bill Immediately after sign
ing in the following language:
/ have signed the Payne tariff bill be-
cause l believe it to be the result of sin
cere effort on the part of the republican
party to make a downward revision and
to comply with the promises of the plat
form as they have been generally under
stood and as / interpreted them in the
campaign before election
This is not perfect bill nor com
plete compliance with promises made
strictly interpreted, but fulfllment
free from criticism in respect to sub
ject matter involving many schedules
and thousands of articles could not be
expected 1t suffices to say that except
with regard to whiskeys liquors and
wines, and in regard to silks and as to
some high classes of cottons- of which
may be treated as Injuries and proper
been few increases in the rates. There
have been a great number of real de-
-creases in rates, and they constitute a
sufficient amount to Justify the state
ment that this bill is q substantial down
ward revision and reduction of exces-
sive rates.
This is not free trade bill. 1t was not
intended to be. The republican party
did not promise to make a free trade bill.
1t promised to make the rates protective
but to reduce them when they exceed
ed the difference between the cost of
production abroad and here, making
allowance for the greater normal profit
on active investments here. / believe
that while this excess has not been re-
duced in number of cases, in great
majority the rates are such as are nee
essary to protect American industries,
but are low enough in case of abnormal
increase of demand and raising the
prices, to permit the possibility of the
importation of the foreign article and
thus to prevent excessive prices The
power granted to the executive under
the maximum and minimum clause may
be exerciued to secure the removal of
obstacles which have been interpos9d by
foreign governments in the way of undue
and unfair discrimination against the
American merchandise and products
The Philippine tariff section have
struggled to secure for ten years last
past, and it gratifies me exceedingly by
my signature to give it the effect of law.
l am sure it will greatly increase the
trade between the two countries and
will do mnch to build up the Philip
pines in healthful prosperity. The adj
ministrative clause of the bill and the
customs court are are admirably adapt
ed to secure more uniform and a more
speedy final construction of the meaning
of the law

Angels Don't Wear Trousers

A society woman is suing for divorce
from her husband on the ground that be
fails to realize her ideal of masculine
''angelhood. The woman who marries

is getting an angel should he granted a

the good Of her husband and the good of
