CHICAOO, Feb. . An axe murder,

Journalism end even press agents make
an effort to avoid It, but It must be resur

A MHIIen-Dollar Shew.
Last year the exhibition Included care
valued at (500.m. This year that fXJO.eoo
mark will look like the remains of a sand
bag trench after tha explosion of a 43
ccntlmeter shell. Ths total value of ex
hibits this year wlljust double that fig
ure. A $1,000,000 show. For eleven years,
sver since the birth of the annual show,
Omaha auto men have been striving for
a million-dollar show. "Home day we'll
have a million-dollar show la Omaha,"
was a frequent expression heard along
the row half a dosen years ago. The men
who said It did so in a kind of wistful
way, full of hope, but that's all. Last
year the tune changed and ths expression
chsnged.
"We'll have -a million-dollar show and
nilghty soon, too." There wasn't any
thing; wistful, or even hopeful. In the man
ner of speech. It was a positive declara-
Uon. ......
And In Just on ynsr a million-dollar
show it became.
. Every exhibit tn the show will be valuej
at not leas than $10,010. . Others will have
fjo.coo exhibits, others gM.oOO and a few
will even surpass that big mark. With
over half a hundred dealers exhibiting It
can be quickly seen that the total value
of the caxs In the exposition ' will reach
the $1,000, 0U0 record.
