Of course, the enemy view may
ho that tho allied strength has also
declined, and that there Is no re
lative difference against them If
they can come ngain with frosh
reserves or with a larger number of
men and guns. As an offset to this
the allied reports nro that the prin

available to continue to successfully
withstand nny offensive that may
be attempted.' just tho same, It
would he fine now for n honvy foryo
of American troops to appear on

easier and bring nearer the time
when tho German hordes will have
to retrace every step they have
made on French and Delglnn terri

Mr. Grain Farmer:
Are you prepared to handle your, grain in bulk? 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
