ive and that will at the same time show

great sugar beet growing land
W T Coleman
Holdrege Neb Oct 8th 03 Mr
W T Coleman McCook Nob Dear
Sir 1 have just noticed in a McCook
paper that you have offered several cash
prizes for sugar beets
This is a move in the right direction
If more of tho business men and mer
chants would give a little attention to
such matters there would be less reason
for complaint about poor farming
Traveling much as I do I have heard
many merchants and business men com
plain of the slowness of the average
farmer to adopt new and improved meth
ods of cultivation My observation has
been that tho average merchant or busi
ness man is just as slow to promote and
encourage better methods
I repeat tho above move on your part
is a move in the right direction and I
wish to add to the prizss you offer
Through you one years subscription to
Campbells Soil Culture Monthly price
1 and one of my 1903 Soil Culture Man
uals price 50 cents total 8150 to your
first prize for the largest beet grown on
up land without irrigation and one years
subscription to the Soil Culture Month
ly to your second prize and when award
ing these prizes if your committee will
take the trouble to select tho third best
and largest beet grown on upland I will
give tho winner one of my 1903 Soil
Culture Manuals
The sugar beet industry has come to
western Nebraska to stay and I wish to
assert that its future cultivation on our
divide lands will be one of marked suc
cess and the study of the proper cultiva
tion of your lands both in the fitting of
the land for seeding and the after culti
vation of the beet will do more to put
your farmers right in the handling of
their soil for all crops than any other
one thing
Let us push the good work along If
agreeable I will now join you in the
same plan and offer for next years crop
Trusting my offer may be acceptable
I am yours very truly

PUBLIC FREE LIBRARY NOTES
The borrowers list now numbers 1159
names
As evidence of the fact that interest
iu the library is not wanning it may be
mentioned that 100 people visited it on
Saturday and that 75 books were with
drawn
The back numbers of the magazines
the subscriptiops to which were inad
vertently allowed to lapse have all been
received and may now be had on appli
cation to the librarian
At the annual meeting of the State
Library Association at Fremont last
week Miss Rache Berry who went as a
delegate from McCook was elected
president of the association for the en
suing year It is a source of gratifica
tion to the friends of the McCook library
that the worth of one who has labored
so strenuously for their welfare should
hava been recognized and rewarded
away from home It is not beyond
bounds to say that the State Library
Association has not heretofore had a
chief officer who will devote herself more
faithfully to the interests of the body
over which she presides or who will ful
fill so well the important duties of that
position
The McCook library is unique among
public libraries in this state in many
particulars It is in the broadest sense
of the term what its name signifies a
free library Not only is it free to the
citizens of the municipality that sup
ports it but to every resident of the
county who desires to avail himself of
its advantages As one of its patrons
expressed the situation to a stranger
who was surprised to learn the liberal
lines on which it is maintained it is the
wish of the management that its facilit
ies shall be as free as the air we breathe
or to quote the precise language we
would as soon think of charging for a
drink of water as for the use of a book
Many larger towns are without libraries
and others that have such institutions
conduct them on a system that unduly
restricts their influence Our library is
open every day in the year and every
week day evening We have more
books and better books than any other
library in the state comparable with
ours and our selection of books com
pares favorably even with the larger
collections WTe have no building it fs
true but we shall have an excellent
start toward the essential furnishings of
a library when eventually the struc
ture is erected What an empty mock
ery were a building without books yet
such is the absurd situation in some
towns of this state It is believed that
we have begun in the right way to
collect our books before securing the
building to house them

Verdict For The City
The damage suit of James McAdams
against the city occupied the attention
of the district court all this week and
resulted in a verdict for the city the
jury agreeing last night on such a ver
dict The case was hotly and closely
contested but the jury evidently con
cluded that the famous rain and hail
storm of 1901 was such an unusual one
that the city could not be held responsi
ble for damages on that account
This verdict will doubtless close this
incident and the other possible suits may
not instituted
Tho state case against James Cum
mings was settled by the defendant
pleading guilty to assault and battery
A fine Of 8100 and costs was imposed
In the case of Tague vs Tague di
