WANT AID PATRONS
Government Finds Them Best
Means of Securing Men.
Des Moines Evening Tribune.

Des MOineS Evening Tribune.
James Gordon Bennett, the elder in--
vented the want ad. In the old days
it was generally TO locate lost people
or articles, to secure help or positions.
The want ad. has grown with the
years as much as any part Of news
papering. Today It covers a wide
field. Almost as much is sold now
through the classified pages as through
the display pages. The want ad. is
accepted everywhere as the barometer
Of successful newspaper advertising.
The latest patron of the want adj.
page is the United States. The gov
eminent has found that the most eff
fective way to recruit the navy de-
partment is to use the want ad. 1t -
announced from Washington:
The only method of securing appli-
cants which the service finds more ef-
fective than the colored poster is the
newspaper want ad"
After resorting to every other means
of attracting the attention of the
young men. Uncle Sam says that
about the only kind of advertising he
needs to pay for is the newspaper
want ad."
1t is interesting to watch the devel-
opment Of a method of doing business.
From the little personals James Cor
don Bennett devised mas come a new
general market price. Everything un-
der the sun is traded and sold on the
want pages. The newspaper that has
the want ad. supremacy is a veritable
trading station for the state.
Moreover the want page Is a most
interesting page to read. There is a
great deal of human interest in the
countless bargains offered There IS
some pathos, some pure fun. and some
deviltry. Human nature is shown in
many guises. The intelligent reader
never misses the want ads

to the present day. One of the most re-
markable pictures ii contains is that of
Billy the largest steer on record He
took the gold medal at the Chicago
worlds fair, and had an official weight of
1855 pounds. Later he was exhibited all
over the country, and is said to have
weighed 1900 pounds before he died.
But even Billy could not hold a candle
to Jerry, Holstein OK owned by a Mas
sachusetts stockman. He is said to
measure II 1-2 hands high-taller by a
hand than a good sized horse At nine
years old he measured ten feet, three
inches around the girth, and weighed
4,365 pounds. 1t is said that in his
younger days he was something of a trav-
eler. and could walk a mile in 80 minutes
hitched to a wagon. There is a picture
of Jerry showing his driver seated on
a rocking chair on his massive back.
Jerry seemed to take it as a matter OF
course.
Some of the yields of dairy COWS of
the different breeds, as shown at the
live stock expositions. seem almost in
credible. The Guernsey COW, Lilly
Ella, gave more than IL times her
weight in milk in a single year, and
yielded 912 pounds of butter in the
same length Of time. Another COW of
the Guernsey breed in one year gave
1882 pounds of milk and S29 pounds
Of butter. A New York Holstein COW
gave 5S4 pounds of milk in seven DAYS
from which was made 29.4 pounds of
butter At this rate she would have
given over $4,000 pounds of milk in
IL months, and would have made nearly
1900 pounds of butter. But no COW
has done as well as that for a whole
year. The Holstein COW Cybele, owned
by a Meadville, Pa, stockman, yielded
1901 pounds of milk in one year. But
even this record for a year was ex-
celled by the Guernsey COW Yeska Sun
beam. During the year ending Sep
TENDER 80. 1905, she gave 1890 pounds
of milk from which was gathered
of commercial butter. This is probably
the worlds record in milk and butter
production for a year.
When II comes to the matter of.
beef, one of the worlds record prices
for beef on the hoof was paid for the
first champion steer at the first an
nual international exposition. The
packers who had the honor of cutting
up his carcass paid $3.50 a pound for
him, live weight. If the porterhouse
cents a pound, what must the porter
house from that steer have cost the
ultimate consumer?
ST. Louis has one of the most re-
markable horses in the world and he
has been exhibited at many stock
shows. He is known as 1.-The Famous
Try Horse, Dam" During many years
he has been used to try out the horses
that come to the st. Louis market.
The prospective purchaser bitches the
horse he expects to buy with Dan, to
see if he will work we'll or not. Old
Dan never gets excited, and never let's
his teammate get on his nerves.
Many thousand horses have been hitch
ed by the side of Dan and thus tried
out. The old fellow goes about his
business with almost human inteHi-
gence, and seems to know what it's all
about as we'll as anyone around the
horse market ..-.-

Liberal Cereal Crops
Philadelphia Record.

The wheat crop Of the year, as esti-
mated by the department OF agriculture.
is 24,76S,O00 bushels, an amount only ex-
ceeded in 1901 and 1906, and, If we have
S5,OOO,O0O people eating six and a third
bushels per annum and use 50O00.O0O
bushels for seed, the home consumption
would leave a surplus of about l3S OO0. 900
bushels for export. That is more than
the export Of the last year or the aver
age of the last five years. 1t is a very
small amount, however. compared with
what we used to export. The crop of
oats, according to the latest official esti-
mate, was exceeded only in 1902. and then
by mere trifie. The crop of barley is
large. but has been exceeded several
times. The corn crop has been exceeded
only once. Altogether, our supply Of
cereals is liberal.

Excuses for Tipping
London Chronicle.

LonuOn chronicle.
Among the many excuses for drink
ing one of the most convincing is that
noted by Lord John Russell in the
journal kept of his youthful travels in
Spain. When visiting Plasencia he met
a convivial ecclesiastic, who expressed
his establishment that a scion of the
aristOcracy noted throughout Europe
for their drinking prowess should
prove so moderate in his potations.
Lord John retorted that he had no
desire to reach the six-bottle stand
ard set by some of his peers. His
boon companion proceeded to rebuke
him for this departure from sane tra-
dition and concluded by remarking
that even on religious grounds you
are wrong. For he who drinks well
sleeps well. He who sleeps well sins
not. And he who sins not shall be

of destination. The papers are in her strong room, and a custodian is aboard. MT. Lonsdale also has packet, but I'm afraid I can't discuss the nature of that. You see, the doctor has been simply bounded since he got back, and he has been so worried over the re- peated charges. more especially by the recent ones instituted by Chester and drawn up, I may say, on the basis of four forged statements alleged to be by Dr. Cook, that he is sick and worn out.

 "A man can't live on pemmican and blubber for two years in igloos, you know, and not have it react on his physical system. pr. Cook, after his hardsips in the north, was in no con- dition to undergo a strenuous mental strain. He hasn't had a minutes rest, and up there at the Gramatan hotel, where he stayed until he finally gave in, he was pestered continually by Peary's detectives. The true story of this case has not been written, and when it is some surprising facts will be made public.
 T should like to add that a good many people still believe in pr. Cook, including myself. I should not have understaken his defense if had not first made sure that he had ground to stand on. No practitioner would care to identify himself with million dol lar fake That's evident"

READY FOR THE PRINTER. Corporation Tax Regulations Are Com Plete-Great Task Finished.

washington. Nov. 26.-The corpora tion tax regulations are complete and ready for the printer, reported Secre- tary of the Treasury MacVeagh and Commissioner of Internal Revenue Ca- bell to President Taft at a brief con ference at the White house today. It has been great task to meet all the complexities of the law and the ex- pected attacks upon it by the corpora tions.
 The latest estimates indicate a net revenue under if of approximately $25,000,000 annually. and f22, 900 cor porattons are likely to have to pay cor poration taxes.
 Improper registration in many cases is fully expected with such a gigantic scheme, but the series of penalties un- der the law, will apply just the same to those who fail to get the forms and regulations. The mailing of the forms and blanks to every corporation listed in the various districts is not specifi- cally required by law and is merely to assist the corporations. Those not registered should apply immediately to the collectors. All the returns are required to be in the collectors hands by March 1, thence to be sent to the internal revenue bureau here, where the tax will be assessed and the tax paying corporation will De notified by June l of the tax to be paid by July 1.

 Henry Wellington Wack, counsel TOT Dr. Frederick A.

He said Dr. Cook probably would be up and about in a few days, but would not resume his lecture tour under any circumstances until his records had been examined by the University of Copenhagen.
 How the Records Were to Be Stolen.
 We know indisputably that a wom- an and two men were planning to board the steamer United States. on which Dr. Cooks secretary was to travel with the records explained MT. Wack. 1'They were going for the ex- press purposes of getting the rcords. The plan. as we understand it, was for the woman to ingratiate herself with MT.
