Hints and Suggestions From Now
"' York's Llva County Granges.
. Jefferson Pomona is discussing the
advisability of discontinuing the Pa
trons' assembly, a suborganlzation con
nected with the Pomona. In an ad
dress before this Pomona Senator Cobb
spoke very highly of the work of the
legislative committee at Albany and
said that "from no body of men have
more reasonable and Intelligent re
quests been received." Lieutenant
Governor Chanler was also present and
delivered an address. At the Genesee
Pomona It was announced that eight
granges will exhibit at the county fair,
and probably the Juvenile grange will
also send an exhibit At the Dutchess
Pomona a special train was run from
Poughkeepsie and conveyed about 200
Patrons. At the Chautauqua Pomona
the question of representation at the
state grange was discussed, and a plan
was suggested allowing each subordi
nate grange credit each year for the
total membership, counting to a time
when such credit shall equal 400, and
when its membership shall equal that
It will be entitled to name a delegate
from its own membership. That is, a

would get a delegate of its own every

plus of 200 to carry forward to the

Stover Engines
are made in both vertical and horizontal styles
and range from 2- to 40-horse power. The
Stover has been demonstrated as the most sim
ple engine on the market. The gasoline pump
the ignitor and the exhaust are all operated on
one rod. The Stover engine is easy to start
and furnishes a steady power.
No man needs to be a machinist to understand and operate
this engine. All its working parts, with the exception of the
piston and piston-rod, are on the outside of the cylinder and in
plain view. The STOVER often develops more than its rated
power. Less troublesome to operate than a steam engine and
cheaper than electricity. The Stover is certainly an ideal en
gine for the small shop and farm where the power must be ready
at any time. ; ;
The Stover furnishes an excellent power for pumping water.
The outfit shown below will furnish enough water for any sub
urban or country home, and it is very economical in cost. Small
cities, contemplating the installation of a water outfit, will do
well to investigate our water systems. Send for Stover Engine
Catalogue.

Gentlemen: Your favor of September 5th at hand, con
tents noted. In reply will say that it gives me pleasure to' add
my testimony with many others who have and still use the Stover
Engine.
When I bought the 5-Horse Power Stover Gasoline Engine a
year ago for the purpose of grinding feed, etc., I knew nothing of
i gasoline engine and was fearful to learn, but the Sto
ver is so simple
in construction
t h a t I easily
saw how to run
it, and keep it
in repair. It
has given me
perfect satisfac
tion and does
all that can be
expected offany
engine of its
size, even the heavy grinding I often do with it.

.Modern System of Credits.
Yon go to your bank with a bundle
f checks and drafts and deposit them
to your credit Against that account
thus opened, you draw checks. They
pass into the world of business, are
accepted at face value, and circu
late virtually as does gold, silver and
currency. If you pay your bills In
checks, often you pass through weeks
at a time when you have only a trifle
of loose change In your pocket for
street car fare and the small things
you need from day to day costing too
little to bother to draw a check.
"A check cancelled is a voucher,"
has become a maxim In the business
world.
