LAST TIME TODAY AI.TCK HI? .VIA IX "The Divorce Game" Sheriff Xell and Two Tough' Tenderfoot. Mr. Grain Farmer: Are you prepared to risndle your grain in bulk? Do not wait until Spring and Summer when you are buried with work and worried with labor shortnge, but build your graneries now. You can buy the lumber and 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 sl?.e can be moved nnywhere and can be filled directly from the thresher, doing away with high priced lubor handliiH and sewing sacks. The boys In the trenches need the sacks for sand bags for tho protection of their very lives and perhaps your boy is among them. , f Spend your money in your own valley by buying lumber manufactured at home. When you buy lacks part of the money goes to India.' BUILD YOUR GRANARIES NOW Be prepared by building them before the farming 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. - I an Save money keep whtit you spend at home pvevent loss and damage from exposure to weather leave the sacks for our boys in the trenches; help win the war by building granaries now. Portable granaries of this type are Universally used In other sections. One tnp with a good team will haul the ma. tertal for one granary For particulars as well as prices on Union County lumber for all farm purposes, see The GeorgeJPalmer Lumber Cc.
