When their labors were completed,
the officials reported unanimously to
Mr.. Taft in favor OF the White, and,
accordingly, car of this make was
Immediately ordered from the manu-
facturers, The White Company of
Cleveland.
The new car was delivered to Mr..
Taft in Washington a few days be-
fore his Inauguration and since that
time it has been in almost constant
use. There has not been day when
the President or some member OF
his family have not been seen riding
around the National Capital in the
new car 1t is hinted that Mr.. Taft
likes fast travelling and that when
he rides out into the open country, he
does not always insist that the speed
of the car be kept within the legal
limits.

VALUE OF THE HUMBLE HEN.
Figures Make One Think Biddy Has
Not Been Properly Appreciated.

The hens admirers grow. Constant
Is their increase. The first official act
of Nebraskas new labor commissioner
was a formal appreciation of this
pillar of society According to Mr..
Maupin, this fowl brought $4,000, 900
worth of eggs to market in Nebraska
last year. The commissioner is unpre-
pared to estimate the value of her off
spring In the way of fried chicken.
She laid 1,2OO,0OO,0OO eggs in 1908.
Placed end to end these eggs would
reach around the earth and overlap
10000 miles, They would make an
egg walk three feet wide reaching
from Omaha to Ogden. With ham
they would furnish breakfast for 6OO,-
100000 people and make an omelet
containing $4,000 cubic feet. The hen
was worth more to Nebraska than the
boasted wheat crop of $26,000,0OO; al
most twice as much as the oat crop of
$16,000,000; 20 times as much as the
barley crop; 20 times as much as the
rye crop, and one-third as much as the
much-talked-of crop of corn. The COM
missioner believes Nebraska needs
another seal Is he not right in think
ing that upon that seal no figure so
well demands recognition as the ever
patient, busy and unpretentious hen.

United States coat-of-arms painted
on either door. In other words,
when we make car for the Presi-
dent of the United States there is no
way in which we can make 1t any
better than the car which you, or
anybody else, can purchase from us.
Some of those writing to me
about Mr. Taft's car say that, al
though they are very desirous or
having car like Mr.. Tafts, they
are afraid that such a car is some
what larger and more expensive than
they desire. In reply to such letters,
| point out that our Model 'O ~
horsepower car is exactly like our
40 horse-p power model, except as re-.
CARDS the size of the different parts.
The principle of construction Is eX-
actly the same and the smaller car
possesses all the desirable qualities
of our larger model. In other words,
one can secure an exact duplicate of.
Mr.. Taft's car for $4,000, or a car of
the same qualities, but-ef smaller di-
mensions, for only $4,000. Judging by
the demand for White cars, good pro-
portion of those desiring to purchase
automobiles are quite content to trust
President Tafts judgment as to the
best and most desirable make"

THE CRACKING OF PAINT.
Property Owners Can Save Money
by Learning the Cause.

Do you know what is wrong when
paint peels, or cracks, or otherwise
necessitates premature re-painting?
Well, sometimes it hasn't been
properly applied-the surface being
damp or there being too much turpen.
tine or too much drier.
But, nine times out of ten, the
trouble is caused by adulterated
white lead.
To avoid all such trouble, every
houseowner should know in general
way, when surface is in proper con.
dition to receive paint, what kind of
primer and finishing coats different
surfaces require, and how to avoid
adulteration in materials.

ing book Of color schemes, specifi-

Aberdeen. s. D., July 6.-An entire
family of three and lad from Aber.
deed were murdered at a farm home
In the town of Rudolph, ten miles
south of here. The dead:
J. w. Christy, aged Sc, grain buyer,
shot while milking and then his skull
crushed with a hammer.
Mrs. Christy, his wife, aged go, shot
after she ran out upon the porch of
the house at the sound of the other
shooting, bullet entering her breast
from gun held against her body.
Mildred Christy, aged Is, attacked
as she came from her bedroom. Her
night-dress was torn from her and she
was shot In the head and thrown back
upon her bed.
Michael Roanaye. aged IA, was shot
in the barn beside Mr.. Christy and
his skull crushed with q hammer.
Robbery was evidently the motive.
Mr.. Christy was a grain buyer for
the Van Dusen Elevator Company, Of
Minneapolis, and at times had as
much ~ $1,000 In the house. The
murdered ransacked the house, but
10 not known to have gained any
thing.
1t Is supposed that the murderer
sneaked upon the farm from q Dor
dering wheat field, intending to rob
Christy. but when he found the boy
present he had to kill him to hide his
guilt and then. the men out OF the
way, he made his attack on the house.
In the house he reloaded his re-
volver. dropping the shells Of a Al
caliber gun on the floor and leaving
the hammer in the barn. These are
the only clues.
Christy had no known enemies and
has lived here for many years. The
family was highly regarded and were
people Of culture. Sheriff Anderson
has armed men patrolling the coun-
try.
Emil Victor was arrested in North
Vile, 20 miles south of the scene OF
the murder and brought to Aberdeen.
He worked In Rudolph from October
until week ago, when he quit. He
had printed in the Aberdeen Amer
lean story telling Of proposed trip
to see his father, proprietor of
large department store In Buffalo.
He had often boosted to fellow work
men Of how easy 1t would be to rob
Christy. He had watch, knives and
ladies' pins and $13 in small bills.
which were partially identified as the
Christy family's.
At the inquest over the bodies the
jury returned . verdict finding cause
to believe that Victor. who is now In
the county Jail, Is implicated in the
AFFAIR. though the verdict does not
directly accuse him with the murder.
A number Of witnesses were exam
ined. the testimony Of John T. Ron
ayne. the father Of the murdered boy,
being most affecting. He told OF driv-
ing from Aberdeen to the Christy
place and the finding of the bodies.
The evidence against Victor, though
circumstantial, is quite strong He
had upon his person when arrested at
Worthwhile large amount of women's
jewelry and gold watch which Is
believed to have belonged to Christy.
He protests his innocence and says
he can prove he was at Condo, s. D.,
when the murders were committed.
