Bannircr. the hustling lumber yard man. with the assistance of John Coleman, during the past week manufactured a very excellent brooder house for. Turner M. McKin non, which will take care of a large number of chickens. The fact of the better paying of chickens and pigs on the farm is inducing many to devote more time and care to the raising of poultry and pork, which pays the bills. Mr. Banning is constructing another of these houses, fo as to have it ready for delivery when desiree! by the farmers and will endeavor to keep one or more ahead of the orders dur ing the rush season.

Notice how much better your car handles in traffic, how little gear shifting you have to do and what power you get. Costs a little more, and well worth it.
