Is
A Real Farm
Paper
Is read by farmers and stockmen. It
Is a class publication Zt carries lire
stock adfertlslDK- And the rolums of
this advertising Indicates Its circula
tion and standing; among farmers.
This test Is unfailing. The average
farmer Is conserTatUs. He Is not a
speculator and he Is not easily stam
peded. When be spends bis money to
advertise bis pure-bred cattle, horses,
sbeep, or swine, be demands results.
He selects a farm paper that Is read
by farmers.
There are many fake farm papers.
Tbey may fool advertisers, but they
do not tool the farmers. Tbey bsve
plenty of fake advertising, but no live
stock advertising placed by real
farmers.
By This Test
THE TWENTIETH CENTURY
PARMER makes good. Nearly two
hundred farmers and stockmen are
advertising In each Issue. Their busi
ness shows an Increase of more than
10 over last year.
In the months of October, Novem
ber, December, January February and
March the live stock1 advertising In
this paper ran np to nearly 500 Inches
la each Issue. It filled nearly eight
pages of space. Moat of this farmers
advertising stays In, the paper the year
'round.
This means something. It means
a great circulation among the best
class of farmers and stockmen In the
west. It m-an that THE TWEN
TIETH CENTURY FARMER Is a real
farm paper, read by real farmers.
65.000 Paid
Subscribers
The subscription list of THE TWEN
TIETH CENTURY FARMER Is a paid
list, and 65,000 farmers are paying
one dollar a year each for the paper.
There Is no free list except to adver
tisers. Thirty subscription solicitors
are now at work In Nebraska, Iowa,
Missouri and Kansas. They work at
all the big fairs and live stock shows
In the central west, during the fall. At
other seasons they work through the
country, In small towns and at stock
yard points. Each new name added
to the list means a dollar paid for one
year, or 50 cents for six months. We
do not get subscribers through guess
ing contests, or fake schemes. The
list Is growing at such a rate that we
can aafely guarantee from 70,000 to
76,000 by January 1st. 1908, but there
will be no advance In rates. Write for
sample copy and advertising rates.

It Is today the greatest selling agent in the Trans-Mississippi country for the manufacturers of farm machinery, for real estate, for mail
order goods of any description, for anything, in fact, sold to farmers and stockmen, or to the women folks in the country home. There never was a
time in the history of the west when our farmers were so prosperous. They all have money in the bank and they are enjoying not only the comforts
but the luxuries of life. They buy pianos, automobiles and diamonds, to say nothing of the thousand-and-one necessities of life. And they are
peculiarly susceptible to advertising for many of them live remote from cities and towns. They buy largely by mail and only a few people in the
cities realise what a large volume of business is handled for farmers through the post offices and the express companies. Especial attention is
called to the demand for cheap land in the west, southwest and in Canada. Thousands of farmers are selling high priced land in the Mississippi and
Missouri valleys and are buying cheaper land farther west. v
ESTATE DEALERS
v Should not overlook this opportunity to send word to the 65,000 farmers who read The Twentieth Century Farmer. Why not tell them what you
have to sell? Why not send in an order for a combination ad. for The Farmer and The Daily Bee? One will reach the people on the farms of the
west; the other covers the cities and towns of Nebraska and western Iowa like a blanket. The rates are low. Write for full information. We will
co-operate with you in every practical way to secure results.

conclusion that the best returns come
from The Twentieth Century Farmer.
We have decided to drop our outside
advertising and make a year's contract
with you for space. We have had big
sales in the vicinity of Omaha, but
also have Inquiries from Maine to
Texas and recently sold quite a bill of
goods, through a Twentieth Century

The river Is very low at this point and
the bar across the river from the water
company's .plant is getting larger every
year on account of the riprap work done
by tha water company. If this riprap

for the water company would be a quarter
of a mile Inland, but the current has been
held where It la now for several years
past and there is not much likelihood of a
change In the river as long as the work
holds. Considerable work haa been done

To the Commanding Officer, Sixteenth In

car. The car was quits crowded, the
greater portion of the passengers being en
listed men of the Sixteenth Infantry.
Recalling our fotmer experienced on trips
at this tlnitf of the night when a former
regiment was atationed here, we were most
agreeably aurprlsed and gratified to find
that every man on the car conducted him
self In a gentlemanly manner, we had no
swearing or loud talking, In fact, nothing
occurred that could offend the most ex
acting. It pleases ma to know that I am serving
with men of that caliber, that, even though
It was only one day after pay day, they
never forgot how to conduct themselves
properly. Several of my friends of Omaha
and South Omaha have remarked upon the
soldierly bearing and excellent conduct of
tha men on dsss.
While this Is gratifying to me. It must be
doubly ao to you, their commanding otllcer.

The article In The Sunday Bee of October
21. 1907. in which Congressman Hull, chair
man of th military affairs committee of
the house, slated "army life Is hard" is
tha sentiment of the officers and enlisted
men of the army today. These changes
hava been brought about since th estab
lishment of the general staff. There is
such a thing as the overtraining of the
soldier. A pugilist loses a fight and his
xcuse in some cases Is "I was overtrained,
consequently lost th fight." The way the
oldler loses out on the long monotonous,
uncalled for, and unnecessary hikes now in
yogu in th United States, mor so In th
Philippines, is the last and only resort
that is left for him is to "get out," which
after ten day la called desertion. Garri
son training la sufficient wherebv. If It !
I necessary, to harden a soldier (or field or
laetlv duty.
At Fort Croo. between now and Feb

I recruits received. It will reduce the aarri.

If this sime of atlalrs continue to exist
mucn longer it will necessary for the aeuie
tary of war to send a requisition to the
Supreme Being and have a lot ot men made
to order, men. in order to keep them from
going back after they get here, it will be
necessary to call on the surgeon general
to amputate their wings, although tlieaj
appenuagea would greatly facilitate loco

NEW NEW YORK CUSTOM HOUSE
A Mammoth Structure, Ornate Insld
and Out, Coating: Seven Million
Dollars.
Tha visitor to the new custom house, at
th foot of Broadway, New Tork, which
wag turned over to th L'nited States gov
ernment on October 1 by th architect, Casa
Gilbert, will Lie surprised at tha appear
ance of the Interior. If he expects to find
heavy masses of carved marble and mas
sive bronze screens, similar to those In th
Hall of Records, h will be disappointed.
It is a business building. With th excep
tion of three or four apartments frequented,
by th public, there is nothing to dis
tinguish th office in thla great building
from those In any modern office building.
Barring a snower oatn ana on or two
small prlvat rooms attached, th apart
ment up under th caves on th seventh
floor, set aside tor tha us of the secretary
of th treasury when he chances to ba tn
town, are no mor luxurious than thos of
th other 2,939 employes of Uncle Bam who
will us th building. With th exception
referred to all are finished In plain oak.
Th room in which there ts elaboration
of decoration are the great elliptical ro
tunda, which la to fulfill tha same function
In tha new building that tha circular ro
tunda did In tha old; th collector's personal
office, th room where th publlo pays its
tariff bills and the rooms of th naval of
ficer. With tha exception of th naval
officer's quarters all ot these ar at tha
northern end, on tha floor reached by
climbing the broad flight of atona atepa
leading up from Bowling Green. Otherwls
than In these rooms the aesthetic has been
entirely subordinated to tha commercial.
The rotunda, which may be enumerated
among th largest tn th world supported
on solid walls, is 128 feet long and 7( feet
wide. The floor area is 1,000 squar feet.
Th entrance to this hub of th whole
building ar flanked by columna of veined
green marble, tha inlaid floor of tha main
entrance being formed of variously colored
marbles. Whit marble la used for th
wainscoting and counters. The curved sur
face of the dome Is broken Into panels, th
narrow onea springing from a design In
relief showing a galley entering a basin
with an eagle, bearing tha ollv branch
of peace in Its clawu, standing on tha
prow. Each of tha narrow panels, which
terminates In a medallion containing tha
beavers, barrels and windmill of tha coat-of-arms
of New Tork, la dedicated to th
memory of th navigator connected with
th early discoveries on th American con
tinent, the forerunners of American com
merce. They ar Columbus. Verrazzano,
Block, Hudson, Vespuclus, Cortereal, Cabot
and Giniei.
Th distinguishing characteristic of tha
collector's office ara a massive, hand
carved, quartered oak screen dividing th
room Into two parti, an ornate calling and
a carved f.ieplace. An inscription on th
fireplace sets fo-th:
"On this sit Fort Arjriii was
erected In lu2t Government i.ou: was
built In 1790 for President "Washington.
Her George Clinton and John Jay lived.
Used aa a custom hous from 1799 to 1811."
In a carved medallion above th mantel
shelf Is depicted th Onruat, th first ship
built In New Amsterdam. Opening from
th office of th collector will b a burglar
proof vault for th storage of valuable.
Th brons and marble In tha cashier's
room give It th appears nee of a bank.

of floor space and cost, with ait, a little
over $7,000,000. New Tork Tribune.
WOLVES ACT AS LIFE SAVERS
Tbey Rescue Keeper of Denver Zoo
Attacked by Hog Grlssly
Bear.
Th love of a wolf for a man saved th
life of Alfred Hill, animal keeper at th
Dencer City park recently.
Mr. Hill had gon Into th bears' den to
quiet old Abe and th on other grlsily In
that inclosure. Both of thesa giant animals
have been extremely ugly during th last
several daya, attacking tha other bears
without provocation.
The animal keeper waa unafraid, despite
tha ugly tempera displayed by the grizzlies,
and braved them, armed with no mora
formidable weapon than a leather quirt.
"Tou stand around there and get on your
good behavior," Mr. Hill said to old Abe,
pretty much th same aa he would to a bad
boy.
Th grizzly didn't reply in words, but he
was aeen to wag hla head in hla mat'
direction, and both of thsm suddenly aros
to their hind lega and closed tn upon thslr
keeper.
Hill's llf was not worth a penny at that
moment. Th Instant old Abe and the
other grizzly reached Mm, however, Jim,
