A MAGNIFICENT LIBRARY.
dearly Two Hundred Volumes Of Beau.
tIfuI and Instructive Books.


A few Of the merchants and others
with the Ardmoreite, have secured a
superb collection Of valuable books
which they offer free TO club, lodge,
school, orphsrsge o. any other eligi-
bic organization securing the highest
number Of library votes by the 5th
day of September next at ~ o'clock
noon, when the contest ends
All are cordially invited to be in
the race.
Now, let everybody vote early and
often. It costs nothing TO vote, and
II is no trouble to vote Each fifty
cent purchase entities you to Ave
votes. A dollar purchase from any
of the firms named below entities you
to ten votes. A five dollar purchase
is good for Atty votes. etc.
The library is on display at Young's
furniture store. and among the vol
umes the Ardmoreite noted that there
is complete set OF Charles Dudley
Warmers library of the worlds best
literature; also a set of the Worlds
Great Classics. We notice such great
authors and scholars as John Stewart
Mill, Hegel, Darwin, Creasey, Lord
Bacon, Shakespeare. Talne, etc. These
classics compose their greatest eff
forts-in other words those gems OF
literature that have stood the test OF
time and criticism. Then follows
complete set Of the American Encyclo-
pedia and Dictionary, besides numer.
GUS work on history, fiction, travel
and adventure.
Tell your friends about this and
get them to vote for your favorite
organization when making purchases

announce in each Sundays issue the
standing of all the contestants in the
race, so that you can see every week

stands. Some worthy social, educa-
tional or charitable organization will

which will be fine start for a library,
a nucleus TO build from, an impetus OF
encouragement which will no doubt re-
suit in securing much needed en-
terprise. The merchants and others
and the Ardmoreite are perfectly
neutral as to what organization wins
the library. Votes are free. The
club that does the most hustling will

cows THAT ARE THIEVES.

Money-Losing Proposition.

II the man behind the COW" in Kan
sas would do his part. no Improbable
animal would masquerade under the
fictitious appellat.on Of "milch cow"
and she would either go to the butch
ers flock or be made to return prof.
1t by more intelligent care and man
agement, says Secretary Coburn in the
last quarterly report of the Kansas
board Of agriculture. II passeth under
standing why theft by COW should be
tolerated more than theft by human.
In effect, the result to the loser In
either case Is the same. Our govern
ment has found 1t wisdom TO study and
establish far-reaching methods for the
detection ana repression Of the latter;
farmers and dairymen be less vigilant
in their cows-beasts described al
dumb, yet outwitting their owners?
So long as cows of this class are per-
mitted in the dairy herd. SO long w;tl
there be dissatisfaction and failure.
Improvement is the route to success,
whether by breeding. better manage
ment, or other way, and intelligence
in our cowmen is the power that will
force advancement in the right d.rec-
ton. Dairying has come to be one of
the most important factors in Kansas
agriculture, and, rightly conducted. is
one of the surest money makers Of our
varied industries. 1t Is incomparably
more rational than any one-crop sys-
tenn. or even farming, as its practice
tends to rotation Of crops. maintains
or increases the fertility Of land, and
affords steady employment with re-
turns remunerative according to the
brains mixed with the business.

Well Remembered.

Valley City, N. OAK, Dec 1.-Two years
ago Mrs. Matilda M. Boucher of this place
suffered a great deal with dizziness in her
head. She was cured of this by a remedy
called Dodd's Kidney Pills, and has not been
troubled since.
Shortly afterwards she had bad bilious
attack and for this she used Diamond Din
ner Pills and was completely cured in a
short time
In January, 1903, she had an attack Of
Scatica of which she says:
II was almost helpless with the Sciatica
but remembering what Dodd's Kidney
Pills and Diamond Dinner Pills had done for
me before, l commenced a treatment OF
these medicines and in three weeks was
completely restored to health. have
great faith in these medicines for they have
been of so much benefit to me-"
Dodd's Kidney Pills are very popular in
Barnes County, having made a great many
splendid cures of Sciatica, Rheumatism and
Kidney Troubles. Many families use no
other medicine.

This catch Is formed as shown In the
illustration. The catch consists Of a
double spur, the upper one being held
by the ring fastened to the end Of the
rope as shown. 1t is released by pull
on the guide rope. this rope serving also
to draw down the catch for the next
lift.
The driver may be a log Of heavy wood
bound with iron rings to add to its
weight, and II the weight needs increas-
ing the driver is bored in the center and
the hole filled with lead. The weight
Of It Is further increased by heavy iron
rings around 1t. 1t should not be OF a
less weight than $50 pounds for common
work. but may be easily increased in
weight by adding more of the binding
rings. The two center posts are the
guides. and each has two scantlings
bolted or spiked to 1t to secure the driver
safely. The driver Is SO made that 1t
slides In these grooves easily, the mo-
ton being aided by the use of any lubri-
cant, such as common axle grease. 1t
will be an additional security to pass
two iron bands around them, which are
bolted to the outside, and SO bent as to
afford easy passage through them of the
driver. The driver has suitable catch
by which It is held In the hook, and the
weight Of the driver Is firmly supported
by the form Of these clips, which slope
inward little SO that some force Is re-
Quired to spread them by the guides at
the top, which engage with the curved
catch. A pulley is fitted to the bottom Of
the frame, and the hoisting rope passes
through this pulley and hooks to the
double-tree attached to the harness.
The draft rope is drawn down after
the driver falls by the light cord, as the
horses are backed to the original place,
and another blow Is given. This kind
of machine Is used for driving or Dor
ing wells, but when rows of posts or
piles are driven the supports are fitted
into q frame at the bottom SO that It
may be moved on rollers, put under
the stills and plank roadway made for
the machine to move on. II Is COM
mon practice to have these rollers made
with holes at the ends SO that they may
be turned and moved by means Of bars
or hand spikes OF course when work
is being done the bottom frame is solid
ly secured so that It cannot be misplaced
by the draft rope as 1t raises the driver.

The Aroma in Batter,

Not long ago report was sent out
from st. Louis to the effect that aroma
was to be recognized there next year
in the scoring Of butter. Later, the
superintendent of the dairy exhibit in
formed us that this was not to apply
10 the competitive exhibit of butter,
but only to the butter made from the
various herds in competition. Mr.. Su-
dendorf Is personally very much OPP
posed to the allowing Of any points for
aroma He says that butter that scores
high in aroma goes on" quickly. and
II of little use on the general market.
This Is especially true of butter in
tended for export. Some of the butter
that Is very high in aroma when first
made. goes on" even before It gets to
market
