VALUE OF AUTOMOBILE
INCREASED BY ASSESSORS

Tha Mitchell automobiles. like good
wine, improve with age seems to be the
impression OF a Nebraska board Of
assessors who recently placed the value
of los Mitchell car belonging to a
Mr.. Burns, OF Omaha. at $3.50 more than
he originally paid for IT.
MIR. Burns bought his car three years
ago for $1,000 and since that time
has driven it about 10000 miles. Ac-
cordfngty when he made UP his tax
schedule he put the value OF the ma
chine at something less than that fs-
ure. As the assessed value OF an ar
ticle is usually much less than the cost
price he anticipated no further trou-
BILE.
But much to HIS astonishment he re-
ceived notice a few days ago that as
SCISSORS placed a valuation Of 1880 on
his automobile and that he would be
taxed accordingly. Mr.. Burns at once
sought an interview with the board
and after some argument succeeded IN
convincing them that though has car
seemed TO be Just as good 1t ever
was there was nothing about II to
show its worn had been added to by its
three years ofalmost constant service.
He has been doing some figuring for
the last few days and declares that II
his Mitchell keeps on increasing IN

good farm by 1928.

Incarceration in San Quentin has adopted
the tone Of an optimist, and the methods
OF a phllanthropist, has turned himself to
uplifting his cellmates and raising them
10 a higher plane by instructing them
nightly in the Bible
After he had been incarcerated a few
days. Ruef noted that his cellmates one
a murderer, the other a robber, read
nothing but a yellow scent magazine OF
crime and OF mock heroics. He determined
to raise their standard OF literature and
to teach them the lessons OF holy writ.
Procuring a Bible, Ruef began to read to
them at night and since he has been in
the penitentiary, he has gone through the
New Testament explaining carefully the
passages and giving the idea Of the Savior
as taught by Christians, because his
auditors are both of that belief. Ruef is
more familiar with the Old Testament.

Plans are being laid for Ruef TO lecture
