MIGHT Save MUCH MONEY
BETTER METHOD OF DISTRIBUT-
ING PUBLICATIONS.
Recommendations of William L.
Post, superintendent of Docu-
ments, in His Annual Report.

In connection with the recently much
discussed question of public documents

funds are spent i'm the distribution there
Of the annual report OF William L.. Post.
superintendent of documents is this year
perhaps the most interesting in the his
tory of his Office. In his report he cN-
presses the belief. backed by an array IF
facts and figures, that much expense
might be obvisted by making his Office
the sole distributing depot for govern
ment editions OF books. whether congress
sional or departmental. The report rec
ommends charging the scope and aug
menting the powers of the institution in
the preparation. distribution and sale OF
government publications. having in view
the curtailment OF the vast expense in
CURED in the distribution OF useless pub
lie documents and the beStowal of more
care and money to wider diffusion or
the more valuable publications issued ny
authority Of the government.
One Distributing Point.
Mr.. Post urges that the office be consti-
tuted the sole distributing point for gov
eminent publications, showing how
great amount of expense could be cut off
by preventing duplication. Under the
present system some persons receive sew
eral copies OF valuable books from the
various points of distribution, and others,
equally interested. are not able to pro-
cure any. The plan Mas already received
the approval OF several important de-
partments and bureaus. which have al
ready turned over their output and mail
ing lists to the superintendent OF docu-
ments Notable among these are the In
terror Department. bureau OF education
and the Natical Almanac office.
Mr. Post claims that the reorganization
OF the past year has converted the stock
of the documentary clearing house from A
chaotic depository Of books TO a business
like storehouse OF government publica-
tons. easily accessible and protected from
the ravages OF dirt. moisture and other
decay accruing from atmospheric ex-
posture. The total number of publications

APPROVES FOREIGN
FORESTRY METHODS
Senator Reed smoot Finds
America Could Profit by
European Experience.

London. Aug. H. Senator Reed
Smoot, chairman of the commission APP
pointed by President Roosevelt for the
conservation of national forests, has
just arrived in London from tour Of
inspection in. European forests.
He is convinced that the application
of the general principles of continental
scientific forestry may be successfully
applied in the United States. although
the character of the West demands
some modification.
Senator Smoot considers the forest
of Silwald, owned and managed by tho
veloped in the world. II cost more an
acre to take care of. but the yield has
made the net gain greater, because Of
the arrangements for utilizing all pos
sible products. Sawmills, planning mills
and excelsior and tool handle factories
are run under municipal government.
Senator Smoot believes the methods
employed in the Black Forest would be
of the greatest benefit to the United
States. Years ago the Black Forest
was destroyed. 1t has been greatly built
up by the rigorous care of the German
authorities. Every tree is numbered
and stock is taken each year.
The commission will probably advise
an increase in the forestry department
to preserve the 164.000,000 acres Of for
est reserve in the United States.
Several members of other special
presidential commissions are in Lon
don, among them Representative Bur-
ton. Waterways. and Senator Nelson,
public lands. These gentlemen and the
members of the finance commission.
who have arrived in London, dined at
Dorchester house tonight,

FRAUD FOUND IN
AUTO REGISTR RATION

les Moines Ia, Aug. 1I.-Startling
evidence of Wholesale piracy in auto
mobile numbers in Iowa that has
reached the office of the secretary Of
state will result In an investigation
and the adoption of plan to end the
Illegal practice.
The law expressly provides that ev-
cry motor vehicle must be separately
registered With the secretary and that
numbers must not be transferred from
one car to another. The registration
fee is So. Numbers known to have been
issued for cars long since sent to the
junk heap recently have been seen on
cars of the latest model in Des Moines.
The police of the larger Iowa cities will
be urged to keep watch for new cars
bearing low numbers as possible cases
of violations.

General Daniel H. Rucker, retired, was

the local offices of that company in
the Washington Loan and Trust com
psny building to tlisprove the theory.
There have been few cases similar to
the death" of Brigadier General Buck
er, according TO insurance men, Cen
eral Rucker is 96 years old, and the
insurance men say he ought to be dead,
according to all the mortuary statis-
tics of the insurance companies. Be-
cause the mortality tables say his re-
serve is exhausted therefore General
Rucker must be dead
He isn't willing to admit it, how
ever and has not decided to accept
the check offered him. paying up his
policy.
General Rucker has seen long serv-
ice in the United States army. He
first entered the service as a lieutenant
OF dragons in 1887. During the civil
war he rose rapidly. and when he re-
tired in 1882 he held the rank of brig

huge proportions and of utmost inter-

apple growers for a pooling of the
product. The immediate objects are
to fight the railroads. withdraw pa

growers think can be accomplished best
by dealing directly with the public in
