Saturday, Halg's report said: "The enemy is being hold every where." That one report means more at this critical tlmo than hun dreds of lines describing move ments around the various places, the names of which no one tries to accurately pronounce. Of course, there Is almost frenzied Interest to know something about how the I fierce contest Is raging, but what of j detail Is possible when hundreds jot thousands of Huns aro crowding ifrom evory direction against an ln jfoiior number on tho defense, but jwho will dlo before they will let jthe hostile hordes pass through? j But In tho detailed reports there Is comfort In knowing thnt the ene ;iny was too exhausted to make fur tbor ndvnnce.

Rid .171 Mr. Grain Farmer: Are you prepared to handle your grain in bulk? Do not wait until Spring and Summer when you are buried with work 1 and worried with labor shortage, but build your graneries now. You can buy the lumber and roofine; 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 nnd can be filled directly from the thresher, doing nwny with high priced labor handling and sewing sacks. The boys in the trenches need the sacks for Band bags for the protection of their very lives nnd perhaps your boy is among them. Spend your money in your own valley by buying lumber manufactured at home. When you buv sacks part of the money goes to India. ' RUILD 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 glve you trouble in a few seasons.
