FAMOUS ARTISTS MODEL OWES
SUCCESS TO LOCAL FIRM.
That pretty little girl that s.

That pretty little girl that smiles
back at you from the sides Of every
wagon, that pretty little milk maid
that rides around on the wrappers
of the bread made by the South
Bend Bread Company, is a famous
little artists model of that perfect
little lasts years type.
Like the figure who posed for
Paul Chabas' September Morn" as
her first experience, so did pretty
Elenor Christman Walker, a perfect
featured maid of Chicago, first agree
to have her charming face grace the
trade mark that labels the South
Bend Bread Company's products.
Ernest Paul Thurn;. well
known Chicago artist, first found
the girl, and selected her as the cor
rect one from which to make the
sketch that now is used by the local
bread company. Her fame did not
end there, however, for it was only
the beginning of a long and lasting
career. Since posing for the picture
for the label that was TO stamp and
identify this brand of the staff of
life, she has been used as the model
for millions of cuts which now ap-
pear in magazines and papers all
over the United States.
When the artist found the young
lady he did not know that she would
become famous. Although he has
used her in a number of other pic
lures. both for advertising and for
illustrations, her charms have found
their way into studios all over the
country. She is now with a firm
in New York and all she does is
pose.
Like the girl, used as its trade
mark, the local company has in
creased in fame until it's output is
nearly eight times as large as it was
when the laughing face was first
adopted to accompany each loaf of
bread to its destination. When it
organized the bread company put
out $500 loaves per day, while now
the numbers always exceed the
500 mark.
The big bakery at which the
bread is made is fitted out with the
latest machinery and when the loaf
Is delivered TO our doors it comes as
clean and light as the girl herself
were she to trip across our thresh-
old.

Of course. Mr.. Rat did not dare say a
word in protest to this treatment, for
there were too many Of them. SO he sat
back and watched them eat his cheese.

MIR. Rat waited a while, for he knew
the farmers wife would be on the

her cheese. but after a while he ven

good feast; then he went on the
shelf and under q cover he found a
piece of cheese: this he ate. Then he
looked on the floor behind the barrel

bors. You will have to be very
brave" he told them: the cheese Is
in boxes and you will have to go in
one at time so as not to make a
noise rs the dog and cat are in the
kitchen"
Away they all scampered after Mr..
Rat into the pantry. but they did not
notice that Mr.. Rat sat on the sill of
the window and watched them run into
the traps. When they were all in and
the cheese eaten they tried to get out,
and then was Mr.. Rats time TO get re-
venge.
You are caught in a trap, every one
Of you," he called from his safe place.
You played a trick on me and fol-

THE RAT AND THE CHEESE.

~ LID MR. RAT lived in a barn'
but he was very fond Of good
things to eat, as he often wan
dered into the farm house at
night Just to get dainty morsel.
One night he discovered a whole
cheese and It was a very big cheese.
so Mr. Rat felt that he would not need
anything else all winter in the way Of
dainties.
But Mr.. Rat was vain. and when he
got to thinking about the whole cheese
and how smart he was to find 1t he
began to brag about it to his neighbor
who lived In the lower part of the
barn.
II don't see how you live without any
dainties, just this meal and the coarse
vegetables you can find out here. But
then, of course. it takes a pretty intel
ligent as we'll as brave fellow to find
the things find. Why only a few days
ago I found a whole cheese; think of
that, a whole cheese"
And the neighbor Rat did think Of II: I:
he thought out loud to all the rats
around, and they decided to watch Mr..
Rat a few nights and see where he

So nat night when Mr. Rat set out

than the others were in there. too.

EXPRESS Co. TAXES
South Dakota Wins a Big Wet
DRY in Decision of Judge
Elliott

Pierre, April mot only did South
Dakota win an important principle law
in the decision of the express tax cases
by Judge Elliott, but the winning of
the cases means an addition Of 500.
900 TO the state treasury as the suits
for the 1911 and 1912 taxes are brought
on the same grounds as those for the
1910 taxes which Judge Elliott decid-
ed in favor of the state. All of the ex-
press companies except the American
and Wells Fargo have paid the taxes
assessed by the board of equalization.
These companies contended that the
board of equalization in levying their
assessment based the amounts not on
the values of their properties in the
state but upon their gross earnings as
shown by the amounts which they
paid the railroad companies for the
use OF their lines. They presented a
theory to support this and asked the
court to accept their theory. This
Judge willard did but Judge Elliott
refused to on the ground that the
theory did not work ont to the exact
amounts and that the law presumed
that the board made its assessment ac-
C riding to law until the contrary
was proven.
The theory of the express compan-
les was that the board had made its
assessment on u basis of al per cent
of the amount paid to The railroads
by the express companies and that,
having thus estimated the amount of
tax, they made "A fictitious valuation by
figuring out what valuation would be
required to raise the tax so estimated
at the rate of % mills.
Under the state laws gross earnings
cannot be taxed, the levies being made
only on the value of the property owned
or used by the common carriers. The
companies hoped to establish that they
were thus taxed on their gross earn
ings. Judge Willard held with the
companies on this contention, but
Judge Elliott held against them. de-
claring that their figures, while close,
did not Prove their theory and that,
furthermore, their theory was not
sufficient fact, even though it worked
out. as the board presumably.complied
With the law unless there was evidence
to prove that it did not and there was
no such evidence introduced.
That the express companies will rush
the matter of appeal seems certain, as
they are now paying a heavy penalty
for each day that their taxes remain
unpaid and they will want to avoid
that penalty.

APRIL IS BIRD MONTH


Chicago Evening Post: Bradford
Torrey has died within the year, but
the April which he loved and of which
he wrote 80 admirably and so sympa.
t~hetically has been reborn. Torrey
called April the bird lovers month,
and he named it right. 1t is the month
of the return of the birds and of the be.
ginning of the chorus of the fields and
of the solos of the forests.
In a week the meadow Lark will be
here, and with him a company of the
featheIed field folk. The spring
melody of the meadow lark has been
called both joyous and melancholy. II
is the same melody, and the differ
ence in meaning must lie in the men
tai attitude of the listener. The
meadow lark comes early in April, and
it's song. rising from the still wasted
fields, o in us the spirit of the
springs that have gone, the spring that
Ia present and the springs that are to
come. How such a song, awaking such
cheerful thoughts and memories, can
be called melancholy, the poet of de-
preston must explain.
The meadow lark is Apirl's bird.
John Burroughs says of the lark that
it sings Spring O. the year" and that
it repeats this bit of inspiring news.
1t is not 80 hard a task to put a birds
song into words as it IS to eaten its
spirit, and it requires only a trifling
effort of the mind to make one agree
that Mr.. Burroughs has read the lark's
message truly.
The meadow lark loves the earth.
On her breast it makes its bed and
from the coverlid of the grasses it gets
its only shelter. When the lark wish
es to sing, 1t seeks a fence post or a
tree at the meadows edge. In the
north, at least, it shuns the shade of
the woods as habitually as does the
lark of Europe, and Wordsworth
words apply to it rs truly as they dc
to the bird which he saw when he sang:
Leave to the nightingale her shady
wood;
A privacy of glorious light is thine.
April is here and has the meadow
lark to keep it company. The month
and the bird have good companionship.
