A shipment of 211 books came from
the bindery to the library this week.
These are books which have apparent
ly passed their period of usefulness
after a period of hard and constant
use. The bindery cuts the edges of
the solid pages, reseWs the leaves
and covers them with a washable, wa

a stronger book than the original vol
ume fresh from the publishers. Dur

She has won her battle with the
world. A few days ago she said she
was going to retire, not because she
is tired and bent and worn, but only
because she conquered odds that would
make strong men cover and is now
entitled to a few years of ease.
Twenty-seven years of farming
would take its toll from the average
woman. Not so with Mrs. Lydon.
Sixty-four years of age, there's virile
youth in her step, her eyes, her fig
ure. Anything but San old woman"
In 1896 Mrs. LydOn with her hus-
band and two sons, went to Cedar
county and bought for $4,000 the 100
acre-farm which is still the home res
dence. They paid 81 200 cash and
gave a mortgage og $4,000 for the
balance. Their "hOuse" was two
rooms at one end of a huge barn.
But they had courage, and faith,
and perseverance.
Three years later Mr.. Lydon was
killed by runaway team. His young
widow, with three small sons, seven,
three and one years cid, faced the
great crisis.
Relatives back east begged her to
sell the farm and move to town. That
couldn't be done, Mrs. Lydon replied,
because the farm would have to be
sold at a sacrifice. And there was
the mortgage, too!

So she threw herself into. her task.
Although tiny of stature, delicatelv
nodded, she asked no one for HELM.
She decided to work out her own
problems.
She rented all the plowed land on
her place on shares and with the feed
from her share of the crops she raised
hogs and cattle. She marketed her
produce and shipped her hogs and her
cattle.
She never asked a cent more than
her things were worth. She always
demanded a square deal. And always
got it!
Her growing boys were taken care
OF always. She never let them work
TOO hard. They went through coun-
try school, but learned more from
their mother.
Mrs. Lydon was able in 1905 to
abandon the barn-home and build a
comfortable house. Two years later
she quit renting the land and with
her oldest son.. Tom, managed the en-
tire farm, planting and harvesting
with their cnw hands.
Of course, success came. In 1915
Mrs. Lydon bought another section of
land. Six years later she bought still
more.
Today her land = 400 acres - is
worth 5000 an acre. She has turned
the farms over to her sons, and she
has finally taken the advice of her
relatives and retired to town."
