In one way and anotherho substi

of being regarded as a hardship and
an inconvenience. . .-
. There is just one thing tp niak the
substitutes go and that is the r.-sur-umo
that they be kept out of the list
of profiteering. It goes hard with
people to be compelled to use a fond

indue profits are made. When the

Tho estimated production of corn

litis is one of the things that has
resulted from the war. The use of
barley flour, for instance, was hartliy
regarded ns a possibility only n short

idea was that barley could scarcely
be ground into flour and that Its only
proper use was in the manufacture of

Mr. Grain Fanner:
Are you prepared to handle your grain in bulk ? Do nbt
wait until Spring and Summer when you are buried with work
and worried with labor shortage, but build your grancrins now.
You can buy the lumber and roofing paper for a first-class
lOOO bushel portable granary for $54.08 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 enn be
filled directly from the thresher, dofng nwny with high priced
labor handling and sewing sacks.
Tlie boys in the trenches need the sacks for,sand bags for
the protection of their very lives and perhaps your boy .is
among them,
Spend your money in your own valley by buying lumber
manufactured at 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, ns low
grade lumber will give you troublo in a few seasons. ' Don't
Use green lumber.
Save money keep what you spend at home prevent loss
and damage from exposure to weather leave the sacks, for our
boys in the trenches; help Win the war by building gtanarics now.
Portable granaries of this' type are universally used in
other sections. One trip with a good team will haul the ma
terial for olio granary. For particulars ns well as prices on
