RUNNIN'
Despite the prevalence of robbery, a few continue to keep
money nbnnt their homes. In thus doing they nre mil only
risking the loss of the money, but also their lives.
l!-.m- fcuu-h surer and better it would he ir these people
would bring their money to this bank.
You're not running this risk are you?
Never despise a small beginning.

was treated with every respect and'
courtesy. Another examplo that
will lust us long as there, Is a hu
man heurl that can respond to any
feeling of humanity, la that great
sentiment "Malice toward nono and
charity for all." .
Is it possible to conceive of any
thing liko that In the German uilll
tury mind?
Not by any means. The kaiser's
motto la ''might makes right, char
ity for none and malice toward all;
murder, lnutlllatlon for the men
and outrage for the women: death
to the children, starvation and ser
vitude for the subdued." ,
Contrast this attitude even with
the scene within the British camp
the past week when a German avia
tor was burled with military hon
ors. Is the Kaiser hind his military
satcllito capable of anything like
that In magnanimity' or chivalry?
Never. . ' :,

During the past two weeks, it Is
said by Mr. Huston's friends, Mr.

Huston thought it useless to con

Appreciative Audience : Hears Dr.

"That Girl's Fellow" was entertain
ingly visualized before an apprecia
tive audience at the Methodist church
last evening by Rev. George Harrison
Feese. Taking hold of the average
boy's life at the age of 12, tho speaker
followed "hifii," the boy, through to
that stage of life where he becomes
husband and father. The. speaker
showed a keen insight into human na
ture, and, unfolding the vicissitudes
exuberances and emotions of the real
American boy. Meanwhile, the speak
er cunninglyintertwined keen wit, in a
way that punned both the boy and
girl, passing through the first love.
As a lecture, the address was re
markably analytic, and was made pos
sible in clearness and insight by the
fact that the speaker had given much
study to the subject and could speak
with the knowledgo of one who had
once been a boy himself. It was frank
and clear a lecture that is different

Mr. Grain
Are you prepared to handle your grain in bulk? Do not
wait until Spring and Summer when you are buried with work
and worried with labor shortage, but build your granorics now.
You ran buy the lumber and 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
Elled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced
bor handling and sewing sacks.
The boys in the trenches need the sacks for sand bags for
the protection of thoir very lives and perhaps your boy is
among them. ' .
' Spend your money in your own valley by buying lumber
manufactured nt home. When you buy sacks part of the
money goes to India.
BUILD YOUR GRANARIES NOW
Be prepared by building them before the farming season
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.
Save mor.cy keep what you spend 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.
Toi-tablc granaries of this type are universally nsed 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
