The unprecedented prices have been and are a temptation to cash in while the casning is gooa; nui wnen a man sends to market underweight and young breeding stock he Is kill ing the goose that lays the golden egg. He is making it harder for himself and others to replenish feed lots and pastures. To be sure, no man can be expect ed to go out and buy dear feed to make 1600 and 1700-pound steers or 350 to 400-pound lard hogs, but it is little less than an economic crime at this time to send in half finished 1000 to 1200-pound steers and 150 to 180-pound hogs. Marketing of strictly dairy veal calves is excusable, but every calf that could grow into good beef! should by all means be kept. Sending to slaughter pregnant cows and heifers for beef should be absolutely discontinued, at least for the period of war. In our great national emergency every man should consider how best he can help along. The easiest way for every owner of live stock to "do his bit" is to see that every animal goes to market carrying as much weight as it is practical to put on. We are now drawing upon the May and June and July supplies of beef, pork and mutton. Farming and live stocg feeding is a good deal of a gamble,, but there never was a time since the Anicri can Civil War when a feeder could feel as sure of good profit on bring ing his live stock up to normal weight. The higher the pricei for grain, the more certain is the feeder of a profit in putting weight on imma ture stock. From one end of the country to the other there is a dearth o ma ture stock. Feed lots, East, West, North and South, are bare.

Years of adherence to a correct principle of motor car construction, conceded to be the most efficient, has placed the Buick valve-in-head in a most enviable position. The outward appearance of the car immediately gives the impression of being just a little different in its beauty. High grade upholstery and completeness of detail in finish help make it the car desired by all.

We are confronted with an automobile shortage and if you want a car from this lot it will be nec essary to place an order at once.
