Do not wait until Spring and Summer when you nre buried with work' and worried with labor shortage, but build your graneries now. You can bqy 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 bo filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced labor handling nnd sewing sacks. The boys in the trenches need the sacks for sand hags for the protection of their very lives and perhaps your boy is ninong 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 Re prepared by building them before the farming season opens up. He sure to get good lumber, well seasoned, as low grnde lumber will give you trouble in u few seasons. Don't Use green lumber. Save money keep what you spend nt home pvent loss nnd damage from exposure to weather-leave the sacks for our hoys in the tenches; help win the war by building gianaries now. Portable granaries of this type are universally used in other sections. One trip wiUi n good team will haul the mi" er.nl for one granary Pur particulars as well as prices on Union County lumber for all farm purposes, see The George , Palmer Lumber Co.
