Melville Clark's
Apollo
THE PLAYER PIANO.

It touches down on the keys, some
thing no other piano player does. The
very soul of the piano lies In its keys.
The life of a composition, its delightful
h%armonles, its variations of light and
shade, can be brought only by a down
ward stroke on the piano keys. Mel
VILE Clark's Apollo is the only player
piano permitted to play directly down on
the keys. All other players cut out the
delicately balanced keys and play up
ward on the sticker of the action, dam
aging the piano and destroying the
sweetness of tone. Because the Apollo
is the only Player Piano in the world
permitted by virtue of it's United States
patent to touch down on the keys it Is
the only player that plays the piano cor
rectly.
Another admirable phase of the Apollo
~self-acting motor Is that one lever
starts. stops and rewinds the music roll,
without the extra effort of pumping. II

MIND as to which cream separator will
give you the most satisfactory service
and be the most economical for you to
buy? I'D
Here is a proposition that should interest
you.
Write me to bring a DE LAVAL out
to your house and set it up for you. Try
out any other SEPARATOR you wish along
side it. Give them both a fair. honest
trial. Then buy the machine that
Skins the cleanest, turns the easiest; Is
best constructed, Is easiest to wash.
If there is any doubt in your mind
when you make this test as to the COM
parative Swimming of the two machines,
take a sample of skim milk from each
separator and send it to your state ex-
pertinent station. They will tell you
which sample contains the most butter
fat. Thousands and thousands of DE
LAVAL SEPARATIONS are sold every
year on just such tests.
We don't hesitate to ask you to make
such a test because we know the. DE
LAVAL will skim cleaner and give you
better service than any machine on the
market. That's why We are perfectly
willing to let you try it out alongside
of any "would-be" competing machine
ever built. Our willingness to have you

YOU than volumes of printed claims.
Give your cow a square deal. Be fair
to yourself. If there is ony one farm
machine that should be of the best pos
sible construction it is the cream separa-
tor. 1t is used oftener than any piece
of farm machinery-730 times a year
and the very best machine you can buy
will be far the cheapest in the end. You
nave always heard the DE LAVAIi
spoken of as a high grade machine. All
DE LAVAL users are DE LAVAL
boosters" because it always makes
good"
9S per cent of the worlds creameries
use DE LAVAL CREAM SEPARATORS.
We take old and inferior separators
in trade and give plenty of time to pay,
should you buy. Catalogues and all in

Dump and Improvement of Hourigan Lane Voted
Among the Extras

In a city meeting lasting an hour
and twenty minutes the total sum Of
sS52.S22.S4 was voted by the citizens on
Tuesday evening, this amount being
the largest that has ever been appro-
priated in such meeting in the his
tory of the city. Two reductions and
few changes were made in the rec
concentrations, and in addition the
brick paving of Main street. the spiliEg
in Yantic cove and the improvement il
Hourigan lane were voted, SO that
there was an increase of s12.125 above
the amount recommended by the
finance committee and the council,
which required the laying of an 11mll
tax.
There was strong effort made TO
cut the regular department appropria-
tons so that some of the extras could
be voted and still keep within the 10
mill tax. but that was impossible, a1v
though cuts were made in the fire and
police departments from the figures
recommended. It was thought that the
improvements were needed and should
be had even if an extra mill was
edded.
