Your Evening of Life
Did you ever stop to think how you will spend the
evening of your life?
What is a more deplorable sight than nn aged person
struggling for a mere cxistenco; battling against great
odds, fighting the cold Iry blasts of winter, and the scorch-
ing rays of the summer sun; with a worn out, broken
down constitution.
STOP AND THINK IT OVER
Think, how you and your loved ones will spend the even
ing of your life. There is ono sure way to avoid being
one of the vast army of unkempti in your declining years,
and you can do this too: .Start n bank account today, anil
add to it littlo by little, nnd you will not be on the mercy
of the public in your declining years.
Why not commence today?

Mr. Grain Farmer:
Are you prepared to handlo your grain in bulk? Do not
wait .until Spring nnd Summer when you are buried with work
and worried with, labor shortage, but build. your graneries now. ;
You can buy the lumber nnd roofing paper .for a first-class
1000 bushel portable granary for $54.58 and it will last for
years. Sacks for the same amount of grain will cost you
$125.00 and this would be a dead loss against this year's crop.
A granary of this Size can be moved anywhere and can be
filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced '
labor handling and sewing sacks. ., : , i
The boys in tho trenches need tho sacks for sand bags for
the protection of their very lives and perhaps your boy is
among them. ..
Spend yonr money in your own valley by buying lumber .
manufactured at home. When you buy sacks part of the
money goes to. India. ,
y 15 BUILD YOUR GRANARIES NOW
Re prepared by building them before the farming season v
opens up. Be sure to get good lumber, well seasoned, as low
grade lumber will give you trouble in a few seasons. Don't
Use green lumber. x
Save money keep what you spenS at home pvevent loss
and damage from exposure to weather leave the sacks for our "
boys in the t nches; help win the war by building gianaries-now.v
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. For particulars as well as prices on
Union County lumber for all farm purposes, see
