We'll tell you the straight, truth:
The reason we were late with
our pap^r last week was f n ac-
count of much printing for the
graduating classes, and other
work in our job department. We
attended the class exercises
Tnursdav and Friday night, so
no work was done those nights.
Then on top of that who coulu

Save $100 a Year on Your
Machinery
HOUSE IT IN A
GOOD SHED
According to an official bul-
letin of ihe Minnesota Agricul-
tural College, the wear and tear
on farm machinery is cut in
half by keeping it under cover.
With farm machinery at its present prices, this means
an average saving of yll'O a year to the farmer with SI ,000
worth of machinery. In fact, a good machinery shed
pays for itself in Iavo or three years.
In addition to saving the machinery from avoidable
rust and weathering, a shed keeps it in such condition
that it requires little overhauling and repairing in the
Spring. It is ready for use as soon as the frost is out of
the ground.
Come in and tell us liow much you have invested in
machinery. We'll figure it out with you just how much
money you will save on your equipment by building a
machinery shed.
