Mr. Grain Farmer:
': Are you prepared lo handle your grain in hulk T Do not
wait until Spring and Summer when you nro buried with work
and worried witli labor shortage, but build your,graacries now.
.You can buy tho lumber and roofing paper for a first-class
111(11) bushel portable granary for $f-U8 and it will last for
years. Sacks for the Biime amount of grain will cost you
?1L'.").0H nnd this would be a dead loss against this year's crop.'
A granary of this sine ran bo moved nnywhero nnd can bq
filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced
labor bundling anil sewing sacks.
The boys in tho trenches need the sacks for sand bags for
the protection of their very lives anil perhaps your boy is
among tliem.
Spend your money in your own valley by buying lumber
manufactured at home. When you buy sacks part of the
money goes to India.

affected was re-asse.-iscd. Suit was
then instituted to enjoin the
from collecting on the reassess
ments. The lower court sustained I
the reassessment and dismissed the
injunction. jj
On tho appeal the validity of tlie J
amendment to the charter was at
tacked on the grounds of insuffi
ciency of the ballot title of the Ini
tiative act and also the authority
of the city commission to re-assess jj
n any evpnt. '
The ' decision from the
court as reported yesterday upholds ! j J - J
He prei.d by building them before the fnrmlng season
opens up. He sure to get good lumber, well seasoned, as low
grade lumber will give you trouble in a few seasons. Don't
Use green lumber.
Save money keep what you spend nt home p event loss
and damage from cviosurc to weather leave the sacks for our
hoys in the trenches; help win the war by building giannrics now.
Portable granaries of this type are univrrsnlly used In
oilier section1-.. One trip with a ftood team will haul the ma
terial for one granary. For particulars as well as prices on
Union County lumber for all farm purposes, see
