Mo Economy to Wait! Q
Your buildings are depreciating to a much greater
rxlriil from lack of paint than any gain which can pos-i-hy
come thru waiting for lower prices of material and
l,--hor. We have come clean on this readjustment busi
ness and our prices are as low in proportion as those
prevailing on farm products today.
The protection of your building (interior and ex
ienor) by painting is a matter of great importance and
is your cheapest and best insurance. Then why wait
icncr. when putting the matter off will cost you more
in depreciation than you can even hope to save?
Let Us Furnish You Estimates on the Cost of

WANTON DESTRUCTION OF
PROPERTY AT SAND PITS
Superintendent Elmer Sundstrom
of the Lyman-Richey Sand company,
tells the Courier that his company
has ordered signs put up around their
sand pits forbidding anyone from
trespassing on their property with
out the consent of the superintend
ent or foreman in charge. This ac
tion, he says, was necessary, because
parties, who have been privileged to
go there to fish or camp have on nu
merous occasions abused their privi
lege and destroyed property." Just
recently an anchor rope was cut al
lowing the large boat on which the
sand pump rests to drift out of line
some eight or ten feet and it was
only by good luck that it did not
sink to the bottom of the lake. Tools
have been stolen and property in
general destroyed.
This is indeed a most regrettable
state of affairs as it will deprive
many deserving people of a place to
go for an outing. The lakes have
been stocked by the state for the
benefit of the public, but there is
always some soft head to take the
joy out of life. Mr. Sundstrom says,
however, that deserving people will
be privileged to fish in the lakes and
picnic in the shade, but that they
must first secure permission. Louis

CHINESE POST TO SCHURMAN
Washington. May 6. Dr. Jacob
Gould Schurman of Ithaca, X. Y., for
mer president of Cornell university
and former minister to Greece and
Montenegro, is understood to have
been chosen by President Harding for
American minister to China. Several
inquiries regarding the acceptability
of Dr. Schurman are yet to be made
at Peking, but it is taken for granted
here that the selection will meet with
the approval of the Chinese govern
ment, and that Dr. Schurman's name
will be sent to the senate in the near
future.
Dr. Schurman. for many years, has
been an authory on international
law and economics. He has traveled
extensively and in 1S99 was president
of the first United States Philippine
commission. His services as minister
to Greece and Montenegro occurred
during 1912-13.

From Saturday's Dally.
This morning Miss Xettie Kissling
departed for Omaha, where she ex
pects to enter the hospital there for
treatment as she has not been in the
best of health for some time and her
condition has been such as to give her
a great deal of suffering.

and wild throws on the part of the
locals and in the third inning they
added another when a runner was
safe at first on the error of John Svo
hoda and was followed by Harry
Hanks who poked one to right field
for three sacks and this ended the
scoring for the visitors as the locals
tightened up iheir fielding and Joe
became more effective on the mound.
The locals scored their first in the
-econd frame when Howard Dwyer
beat out a strike and when Schneider
hit to the infield the second sacker
failed to hold th eball and Dwyer
registered.
In the fifth Platts again scored

The Farmers'
One -ear with another the farming industry is a
prosperous one. Sometimes the prices go unusually
low, but those times are usually followed by an advent
of higher ones, due to decreased production. The people
must eat, and the era of better prices is ahead. Do not
slackn production, then, but be prepared to share in the
coming prosperity.
To raise the most from you land and get the best
returns, improved machinery is essential. We are
carrying the best lines and can supply you with what
you want. If you wait till prices advance, before you
resume production you will have nothing to sell when
the reaction comes. Enough others will fall by the way
side to assure a greater demand, and YOU cannot af
ford to pass up this opportunity. Better get the neces
sary machinery now and go in for a bumper year. See
us for anything you may need and be assured of the
best of service.
