Although th works of the various pres idential candidates can scarcely be called "hot weather reading" the interest In the coming campaign has created a de mand or the bookB of these prominent statesmen and writers beyond that of popular fiction, The public library has attempted to make an exhibition of the works of those writers whose names will head the various party tickets, but the steady demand leaves the shelf almost empty most of the time. A few titles may well be mentioned, although many mors articles are to he found in periodicals and many speeches In such works as Reed's "Modem Eloquence." Mr. Taft s Present Day I'robtoms" is a collection of addresses delivered on various occasions and although the book" was published In lsWS it Is still of great Interest, as It deals wrth much that has not yet been accomplished. "Four As pects of Civic Duty" Is by the same writer and gives papers on the duties of citizenship viewed from, the standpoint of a recent graduate of a university; the standpoint of a Judge; the standpoint of colonial administration, and the stand point of the national executive. By Other Candidates. "The History of the American People" Is the most popular of Mr. Wilson's works, and although It is In five volumes, does not seem to be more than the avei-J age book borrower can undertake to read, on the history of his own country', this Interest . being largely due to Mr. Wil son's ability to tell the story in a way to satisfy both the scholar and the casual reader. Mr. .Wilson has written several other works on American history, also several volumes of literary essays, the most popular of which is "Mere Liter ature." Qf Mr. Roosevelt's writings there ap pears to be no end, but the works which deal with hunting are without question the most popular, 'The Wild Hunter," "The American Hunter," "Big Game Hunting," "Hunting Trip of a Ranch man" and "American Game Trails" being the best of these works. It Is unneces sary to mention Mr.' Roosevelt's histories, as they are so well known, but the liter ary essays, also the political and ethical lectures which have been published in book form have always attracted a great deal of attention,. One little-volume en titled "Applied Ethics" has been partic ularly popular., , .

C. Harts, who recently declared his belief that the county cmnot hold the general contractors, Caldwell & Drake, for any penalties for delay of completion at th hullillnif. declared that in his opin ion John C. lAtenser, county building ar chitect, has overestimated the work so far doim and the contractors have beon overpaid. Sam Blind of Puchs, Son & Blind, who have the Interior decoration contract with the provision that the mural paintings shall be purchased from Phliltpson & Co. of New York City, told the board Phllllpson A Co. hava made wlih iVi.i murals. He asked I the board to amend the contract so as tq permit Mr. Fuchs r some other per sons to make the murals. The result of the consideration ot, county building matters was tne, calling of a conference ' with the architect for Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. Mr. Harte said there remains about tfiO.OOO worth of work to be done on ths new building and with but S1S,M0 with which to pay for It, unless ths county breaks Into ths 15 per cent re serve, which Is not supposed to be touched until the building Is completed and delivered. Commissioners Lynch and Klsasser said they believed Mr. Latenser had not made any such errors as suggested by Mr. Harte and Mr. Latenser would ba able to make It clear. The bosrd tried to get ths architect Into the conference, but Mr, Latsnier was not In his offic and rather than wait, for htm to return the commissioners decided to wait until Wednesday. Mr. Harts said he believed some of ths work in the new building Is Inferior, but ha refussd to be more specific in this regard . : CREIGHTON OPENS TOMORROW !

Compare Their Values Plus Their Reputation Here are two Peg&l Cart that stand cat in competition as being not only the best Tabes car for carupon the market, byt automobile, that have stood the test of service and won great repatttioa , WJJ CALL TOUR ATTENTION to the now famous Regal Model T. The "25" Horse Power "Underslung" touring car that is without parallel in automobile values today. The usual crop of 1913 announcements hns shown no car that can displace this remarkable automobile from the place it won in 1912 for being not only exceptional as an example of advanced motor car construction, but a revelation of enduring quality and lowest price. MATCH ITS VALUE IF YOU CAN. Hundreds upon hundreds of these cars have been sold upon comparison. A roomy car a beautiful car. An enduring car, a "down-to-the-minute" equipped car. An "Underslung" all the advantages of safety, economy, flexibility, easy riding ability, comfort, which this advanced, more costly construc tional method makes possible. Speedy, powerful, silent-running, with its well known owner's reputation of perfect service, low cost of upkeep, satisfaction, behind it. A reputation that is making this car the "biggest seller" in every community where it if for sale. i READ THE SPECIFICATIONS. They are not only the most generous for the purchase consideration, but equal those of a score of cars that are many hundreds of dollars higher in price. Nickel-plated trimmings throughout Elec tric lights (gas headlights optional) Presto-o-Lite tank. Electric Horn. Then consider the wheel base 108 inches the bore and stroke of the motor the tire equipment. When you visit onr showrooms and see this car, when you have ridden in it, tested its hill climbing abilities, the silent, powerful operation of its power plant,' the ques- tion "What car shall I buy?" will be settled. THEN THE PRICE! This is an age of seeming miracles in the realm of manufacturing To every intelligent in vestigator of this Regal Model T the thought naturally suggests itself: "How can such a car be built for $950!" The performance 1b there; the record of endurance service is there; the quality i" thert but this low price? The manufacturing exper ience of many years, the concentration of a great factory, the knowl edge that thousands of these cars will be purchased, were all deter mining factors in our ability to sell this car for $950. Our profits are small the difference In dollars we could reasonably ask the purchaser for this car we share with every man who buys It. The car itself attests this fact. The Regal "Underslung" Roadster has outsold every other Roadster made THERE ARE MANY REASONS' why the Regal Model N "Underslung". Roadster is the most popular' Roadster' in the country. One look at this automobile creates instant desire to own it. Without question it is an ideal car.

Fast as an express train, comfortable, safe, economical on gasoline nrtd tires, most distinctive in appearance, "it Supremely meets every purpose for, which it, was designed. IT HAS STOOD1 THE TEST OF TIME. When you buy this- car you are certain of itsgood qualities.- Like the Model T, It has stood the test of rigoraus service In every state In the Uc Ion several thousand are everywhere in dally use. We could not add a single Improvement to the chassis, but we HAVE made additions to the equipment which place the value"sof this car In a class by "itself. .Electric Lights,-Nickel-plated trimmings, Prest-o-Lite tank, Electric Horn, etc., ' are some special features. Read . carefully the specifications; , , . . THIS ADVERTISEMENT is published to solicit your at tention.
