The Homo Guard Is an essential
Institution and Its members arc
entitled to respect and considera
tion because they are a military
necessity under these trying times.
The usefulness of the home guard
organization was demonstrated at
Baker night before Inst when the
entire membership patrolled the
lumber mill district' and prevented
what otherwiso would hnvo un
doubtedly been a serious loss. And
loss Is something, whether In lum
ber mntorlul or any other kind of
supply, Is to. bo prevented Just
now.
' But thore is a probability that
the Home Guards over tho country
will demonstrate their utility In
more ways' than one.
It has become such n reality
this war business that there Is not
to bo tolerated any more passlvc
noss on the subject of Rotting the
knlser,, and It Is becoming more
and more a matter of necessity that
those who aro not doflnlloly on the
right side will have the alternative
of , keeping n Judicious silence, ir
nothing moro.
This war buslnoss Is serious, and
Americans have n serlouB part in
jit, both nt home and In the field.
Wo know we can rely on those who
! leave tho tralnlni? enmps for "over
there" and we know also that when
men do the Immense amount of
things thnt will he required of the
Home Guards they will mako the.
situation reasonably safe for those
at home.

AGAIN IN THE FIELD
II. Bohnenknmp Co. Have Taken
On Chevrolet Line.
After a lapse of several years, the
W. H. Bohnenknmp Co. have again
gone into the automobile business.
For the past three years thoy have
confined their energies to the sale
of motorcycles and automobile tires,
in addition to their regular lines, but
they have decided that the time is ripe
for them to reenter the automobile
field.
During the past year the company
has erected a fine brick building,
which is used for the housing of their
tire and motor business and thoy arc
in the best of positions to handle
cars nnd to take of their customers.
The automobile business is rapidly
weeding out agents who have no facil
ities for looking after their customers
or rendering them service, nnd is get
ting on n more legitimate basis.
The Chevrolet line includes three
sizes of cars, a small four-cylinder
car, n medium-size four and a light
eight, It is on the smnll cor that the
greatest volume of business is expected.
The company now has a demonstra
tor on hand nnd is expecting a carload
of machines in the middle of next
week.

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
and worried with labor shortage, but build your grnncries now.
You can buy the lumber and roofing paper for n first-class
1000 bushel portable granary for $54.58 nnd it will last for
years. Sacks for the same amount of grain will cost you
$125.00 nnd 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 nnd sewing slicks.
The boys in the trenches need the sacks for sand bags for
the protection of their very lives and perhaps your boy is
nmong them. '
Spend your money in youi own valley by'buying lumber
manufactured nt home. When you buy sacks part of the
money goes to India. x
BUILD YOUR GRANARIES NOW
Be prcpnrcd by building them before the farming season
opens up. Be sure to get good lumber, well seasoned, ns low
gratle lumber will give you trouble in a few seasons. Don't
Use green lumber.
Save money keep what you spend nt home pvevent loss
nnd damage from exposure to weother leave the sacks for our
boys in the t nches; help win the war by building giannries now.
Portable granaries of this tvpe are universally used in
other sections. One trip with n good team will haul the ma
enal for one granary. For particulars as well as prices on
Union County lumber for all farm purposes, see
The George Palmer Lumber Co.
