THE 0MAT1A DAILY DEEt MONDAY, OCTOBER 2S. . 1007. 7 A Real Farm Paper Is read by farmers and stockmen. It If a class publication t carries live stock advertising. And the volume of this advertising indicates its circula tion and standing among farmers. This test Is unfailing. The average farmer Is conservative. lie is not a speculator and he is not easily stam peded. -When he spends his money to advertise his pure-bred cattle, horses, sheep, or; swine, he demands results. He selects a farm, paper that Is read by farmers. , There are many fake farm papers. They" may. fob! advertisers, but they do not fool the farmers. They have plenty tf fake advertising, but do live stock 'advertising placed by real farmers. By This Test THE aV.E.N.TIBTH CENTURY FA.tMER makes good. Nearly two hundred farmers and stockmen are advertising In each issue. Their bust lies shows an increase, of more than 10 over last year. In the months ot October, Novem ber, December, January February and March 'the live stock' advertising In this paper ran up to nearly 600 inches in each Isaue. It filled nearly eight pages of spaee. Most of this farmers advertising stays In the paper the year 'round. ' This means something. Mt means a great circulation among the best class- ot farmers and stockmen In the west. It means that THE TWEN TIETH CENTURY FARMER is a real farm paper, read by real farmers. r !; 65.000 Paid Subscribers . The subscription list of THE TWEN TIETH 'SNTURY FARMER is a paid list,- and 65,000 farmers are paying oao 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, & ssiall towns and at stock yard points. Each new name added to the list weans a dollar paid tor one year. C cents for six months. We do not jt subscribers through guess ing; coamti, or fake schemes. The list Is Swing at such a rate that we can. aaftsiy guarantee from 70,000 to 76,00 w January 1st, 1908, but there "will be advance in rates.

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 realize 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 n 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. . ' REAL ESTATE DEALERS. .

Her.e is what the Monitor Prill Com pany of Minneapolis, Minn., wrte us last winter: "We have. received nineteen replies to our first advertisement of January 3d, at a cost of 20 cents each, which is not bad." Here Is what the Llninger Imple ment company of Omaha, one ot the largest wholesale implement dealers in the west, said In a recent letter: "After a thorough experience In ad vertising to reach the trade in the vi cinity of Omaha, we have come to the 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.

AFFAIRS AT SOUTH OMAHA i :r ' " . Democrats Fail to Make Good on Their Registration Claimi. REPUBLICANS IN THE LEAD er Declalaa la Thirtieth. Street Pari Case. Favorable to City Ceases ; Maca Hrjolclua- Aboat ( City Hall. I": , ' . The .democrats failed to make any ma terial gain Ma Saturday's registration. It had been predicted that there would be a big increase anion a tha men ot that faith, but from all Indication the relative figures will be about the aaine. This means that the republicans have a lead of about 200 in registration In the three days. The reg Istratlon was pretty light In moat of the precincts during the, day, but during the .evening It picked up and the clerks did a vuafelng business, up. to o'clock, when the hooka elesed. It I estimated that the total for the day will be from 1,300 to 1.400. The total vote at this election will not ex ceed . 1.200. Most of the registrars were out oo time in the morning, but several were late. On or two of the preclncta were short-handed. In tha First precinct of the Flftn ward the ball was being used during the morning for a wedding cele hratloa. Bo in the spirit of respect the registrars moved .their office upstairs and registered a number of voters. During the . afternoon they returned to the hall which had been regularly Used. The central committees of each ward were doing some 'work. Low Enter, presi dent of the Bouth Omaha Republican club did considerable- good service during, the day. lie had two men In each ward who personally urged the residents to register. It Is evident that the vote thla fall will be much -short of what tt ahould be. It Is art ted by many people la a position to knew,' that there la such a large number of unnaturalized foreign population that really the vote is more restricted than the truo population of the city would Indicate. The Japanese, Greeks and Roumanians form the larger portion of this population. Few of ' tho Orecks become naturalized and the Japanese are not eligible. After the polls cloaed several ot the registrars returned their booka to the city Jail. Others, however, kept them over night and will return them later. The lists of voters are posted at all the voting places and the people are urged to notice them to see that all registrations are correct. " Hike Takes to FavlUloa. Sheriff McAvoy of Papllllon was in the city yesterday morning to take charge, of Irvln Hike, who Is supposed to be one of the parties who robbed the store of A. Wright In Bellevue Wednesday night. Chief John Brlgss arrested Hike while he was working on the city Jail as a mechanto. The sheriff took his prisoner to Papllllon during Uie afternoon. . Rejolelaa; Over Paila Caae. Much genuine rejoicing was shown In the city attorney's office yesterday morning over the decision which was handed down In the Thirtieth atreet paving case In which an effort was made to Invalidate the paving taxes. The ground of the objeo tlons was that the petition to pave was faulty in the matter of the validity of a majority of the signatures and also that the city council was derelict In not passing s certain ordinance ordering the work done. The case has been in litigation for some time and was submitted last Sep tember, The court held with the attorney for the city In every point In the defense. This will have a decided effect upon later litigation involving the same point The case is a little different from the Twenty fourth atreet case, for in that case the rosldents of the street entered a formal protest In the case before the paving was laid. The council was advised that It could pave the atreet over the kind of protest which was presented and thin was done. It may be held that this proteiit was valid. In which case the city will be liable. The residents of Thirtieth street to all appear ance signed the petition to pave eagerly x4 Three fast trains daily ; Fred Harvey meals ; block-signal safeguards ; ea$y riding, dustless track.

Only about S200 has been paid in aa yet of this special tax. The amounts have been accruing for about four years, and so 'the burden will be pretty heavy now that a decision' ha been rendered. It Is possible that the case may be appealed to the supreme court. Delay In Occnpylns; City Hall. It was decided to be impracticable yes terday to attempt to enter the new city hall just at present, aa much aa the city officials are anxious to be In the new quar ters. The building Is not completed and the contractor Is unwilling to surrender the building. There probably will bo an effort made to compel the contractor to pay for the delay In finishing the building. Tho limit of the contract expired July 15, 1907. The contractor was to forfeit an amount equal to the rent paid for the present ac commodations. He will contend that the delay was due lo no fault of hla own, but to the fast that the Jail contracta were de layed so long. The city also allowed a few changes and extraa and he may contend that In so doing they waived their right to the forfeiture. Oa Annexation. SOUTH OMAHA, Oct. it. To the Kditor of The Bee: The dear people, particularly the grafters and plug ugllos, are very solicitous as to where the labor vote will go on this Important question of annexa tion. The wounded soldiers who were not entirely exterminated by tho local Lord Clanricarde's will abide by the gos pel, "Do unto others," etc. Therefore, we shall obey the mandate of the local Farry itas, Postltes, Van Cleveites, Orchardings, etc., the fellows who got the mlltla aid galling gun In 1BSH and the pick handle brigade In 1904 to subdue our laudabld aspirations. This la modern history and we desire to call the voters' attention to the "flying rollers" who assembled at tho Exchange building to denounce M'k Donnelly, Bamuel Compers, John Mitchell and the strikers. The "flying rollers," or stnn flelners," are against annexation, and w know that their rites and practices are not carried on according to the ataii'l arda of common decency. . We may nut be as well versed In scripture, mcdlcl ib and morals aa the professional orator who have taken the stump against' tn nexatlon, but at all events we Vielleve In "an eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth." The question may ailse. Where do the packers stand on annexation? We do not know; neither do we care. It is one of the corporal works of mercy to Instruct , the Ignorant and we converted them during the last strike, so that lU'y see the trror, and any other difference that may arise In the future will bo set tled by arbitration. The bunch that went to Lincoln to fix the charter to disfran chise the laboring men thought to them selves that they had a very clever act performed, but we are equal to the emergency. We will annex the city, thereby retaining our franchise. Besides, we . will do away with Judge Hunger' j federal Injunction. ' JEREMIAH HOWARD. Masle City Gosalo. wr.. Hanna coal. A. I Uerquiat.

Judge Benjamin Lindsay, of. the juvenile court of Denver, addressed a fair sized au dience at the Toung Men's Christian Asso ciation auditorium Saturday night. He was on his way from Denver to Kentucky to at tend a national meeting of juvenile rf form workers and stopped off In Omaha be tween trains. He told In his speech of the juvenile reform work being done In Denver through the Instrumentality of his court. Ho said In part: The court Is not enough. The home, the neighborhood, the state, the school and the buninrss men owe a duty and must help. V'e t to avoM the brutality of the jail as much as posxible. W must overcome evil with good. The Influence of good men over the young la far more effective than any punishment that can be mxted out. We put the hoys on their honor and let them know that we trust tht-m. In other words we pat them on the back and encourage them, praise Is the most powerful quality ht wirk of reformation. Ninety-five per cent of the boys that come before our court turn out well. Our most Important work la Improving the boys' environment snd Increasing their opportunity for good. What we must taa is more personal In fluence, Impose more trust and confidence and use less law.

T., November 19 to 23, and through your valu able paper wish to communicate with the citizens of your city sod other sections of the country, asking for a large delega tion to attend said congress. Few people, If any, are more Interested In the delibera tions of this congress than those of the great Missouri valley. The protection of the banks snd the Improvement of the channel of the Missouri river for naviga tion will be one of the chief topics of this congress. May I ask you to give this all the assist-, ance you can by publicity, and securing delegates to go to this congress, to empha size our desire for the early Improvement of this great river for protection and navi gation? enclose you literature sent out In behalf of this great undertaking. I was at St Louis and Memphis the fore part of the month with the president and twenty governors, scores of United States senators snd congressmen, in the Interest of the development of our great waterways. It wSs my pleasure to be at Memphis In the winter of 1862-3, traveling on those great side-wheel steamera which carried the com merce of that great, valley at that time. In 18fi5 I found that thoae largest side wheel steamers were coming to Bellevue, Omaha and above for 1,000 miles.' Then we had nothing to export, all Import. Now we have millions upon millions of cereals snd products of the soli for which tbe best market of our country la the cities of the lower Mississippi. St. Louis, Mem phis, New Orleans, etc., and I found there that they had millions upon millions of the hardwood and softwood lumber that we want In return for our products for manufacturing purposes. I think there Is no river that can afford as much com merce as the Missouri, outside of the Ohio, with Its coal and Iron, and that no stream of its magnitude can be cared for aa readily as this river of ours, snd furnish as much export and Import and reducing the ratea a half or more in the Interest ot the producer. May we not have your hearty co-operation In the Interest of Omaha, of Nebraska and of the Missouri river people? Our city should appoint ten delegates to the Commercial congress at , Muskogee, the county two or more and the Commercial club and Real Estate exchange should also appoint delegates. May . we not ask fur your hearty support and co-operation In this matter? HENRY T. CLARKE. "Mix laltvad." ' OMAHA, Oct. 27. To the Editor of Tbe Bee: I ask you to kindly pr:nt the follow ing tribute from the pt-n of Edg:ir Howard, the brilliant editor of the Columbus Tele gram. Particular attention to the laai four or five lines of It, which teaches the lesson. "As true, by heaven, as heaven Itself ts true" That the example of the love and loyalty of the dug for men, women and chlMrea has a strong Influence upon them for good. Ittx u dead liT was a dog in the animal kingdom, but a tall man In the attributes of kindness snd loyalty. He never spoke about his own virtues, but he showed them In his every-day life. I wish I might know the man who gave the deadly poison to my dog. I have no desire to carry physical injury to that man, but only a desire to make him a better and a gentler man by painting (or him a picture of poor blx ana his suffer ings. For many days, under skiiiiui treat ment of a veterinary, and the nursing of those who loved htm, Blx fought against the effects of the drug, never complaining, never showing resentment, rewarding every effort In his behalf with a wag or his tall or with an expression of thanks from his kindly eye. In the laat effort of his life he dragged himself to my feet, raised bis drooping muzzle and laid tt In my hand, as oft I've seen a child repose a weary head on mother's knee. Thus he died, and In the death-glaze upon his brown eyes I thought 1 read a meesago of pardon for the whip ping I gave him one day, when anger had driven from my head that fair sense of reason which should direct the movements of men, If not of dogs. I have never been able to accept the teaching of those an cients who held that at death-time the souls of men and women sometimes are transferred to the bodies of birds and dogs but If I could accept that view 1 should then believe that one day ther lived upon the earth a rare and radiant soul within the body of the gentlest woman that ever came to brighten and to bleva the earth with her good -presence, and that when she died the death of the body the gods trans ferred her soul to the body of poor Blx, so gracious and good he was. But I can't believe such things, and all that Is left for me now la to give to Blx In my memory garden a place among the rosea, with a promise and a pledge to strive to make my own' life among men reflect somewha the lesson In loyalty and kindnesa acquired by contest with my dog. And o, good Blx, goodbye. AN OLD SUBSCRIBER. TWO MEN. HAVE LEGS BROKEfl E. R. Georare Boa Dowi by Five Waaon aad Mas Fir sit Fall from Furniture Waajom. E. R.
