BitAGCi, Postmaster Better than money because they earn mnnsy: buy a WAR-SAVINOS STAMP TO-DAY. Plans Thus to Trace Sales of Army Owned Gasolene. All petrol in Italy Is used exclusive ly for army service nnd hardly any Is available for private motor trallic. Au tomobile owners, however, by paying prohibitive prices occasionally succeed In securing petrol destined for the iirmy and detection Is difficult owing to Impossible Identification of the pe trol so used. . In order to simplify matters the army authorities have decided to color nil the petrol, and ns the dyes used niter repeated experiments aro perma nent. It follows that a mere examina tion of the petrol used for private con sumption Is sufficient to trace lis origin and justify Immediate legal proceed ings for Its fraudulent use. , l j j j j j j 4 j LET US ESTIMATE on all your printing.

Observer want ad work OIISKKVKK W A X T A I) H V V PAY Mr. Grain Farmer: Arc you prepared to handle your grain in bulk? Do not wait until Kill ing and Summer when yon are buried with work and worried with labor shortage, but build your granerics now. You can buy the lumber and roofinir paper for n first-clnss 100(1 bushel portable Kianary for $51.58 and it will last for years. Sticks for the same amount of grain will cost you $125.00 and this would he a dead loss against this year's crop. A granary of this size can be moved anywhero nnd can be filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced labor handling and sewing (jacks. The boys in the trenches need the sacks for sand bags for the protection of their very lives and perhaps your boy is among them. Spend your money in your own valley by buying lumber manufactured at home. When you buy sacks parti of the money goes to India. Ill ILI VOI li CKANAKIICS NOW He prepared by building them before the farming season opens up. Be sure to get good lumber, well seasoned, as low grade lumber will givo you trouble in u few seasons. Don't Use green lumber. Save money keep what you spend nt home prevent loss nnd damage from exposure to wcutlier leave the sacks for our boys in the trenches; help win the war by building granaries now. Portable granaries of this type are universally used in other sections. One trip with a good team will haul the ma terial for one granary.
