FURNITURE WILL BE HIGHER

As sure as we tell you this, Furniture will go great deal higher!
 Lumber will probably never be as low again as it is now and has been for six months.
 When the new tariff is placed on mirror plate alone the added cost to a small mirrored chiffonier will be $100 to $1.50 additional.
 Labor, especially skilled labor, will be much higher.
 So now is the best time that will come within the next 10 years to buy Furniture.
 Listen-and remember!

ply Of available phosphates.
In the spring of 1908 a farmer in
Wisconsin made an extensive expert
ment with phosphate on clay loan
land which had not given satisfactory
yields the preceding year. For this
purpose he purchased four tons Of acid
phosphate. using it on oats seeded to
clover and on cor In three different
amounts-namely, 100. 200 and 400
pounds per acre.. The result Of this
experiment il given In the following
quotation from a letter from the ex-
perimenter:
II am Of the opinion the grain toats,
was thicker on the ground. and there
were more oats at thrashing than
where the fertilizer was not used. On
the heavier soils the difference was
apparent very early 10 the season. and
later on. when the grain headed out
the pieces could be picked out readily,
the stand was thicker and more uni

that where we used 100 pounds It was
somewhat better. when 200 pounds
were used It was very much better,
and when we used 400 pounds the best
results were obtained. The benefit
was even more apparent in the corn

PRIMARY ELECTIONS
Governor Oenesn Lays Stress
on Recommendation

Springfield, ILL.,, Dec. Ex-Governor
Deneen, in a message to the special
session of the legislature, laid par.
ticular stress upon the necessity for a
new primary election law as the most
important subject for legislative en-
actment. Other recommendations are:
Passage of a corrupt practices act
limiting campaign expenditures and
requiring publication of campaign ex'
pense accounts.
Creation Of a commission to take
charge Of construction of the pro-
posed lakes-to-the-gulf deep waterway
and the development of water power,
q 100000 bond issue for this
project having been approved by the
people.
Amendments to mining laws to pre-
vent a repetition of the Cherry dis
aster; an appropriation for relief of
the sufferers at Cherry; q commits
sion to study the subject of employers
liability. g.
Recommending adoption of an
amendment to the federal constitu.
ton SO as to permit imposition of an
income tax the governor says:
"a nation which possesses the pow
or to call upon its citizens for service
upon the battlefield should possess the
power to impose an income tax when
ever it may be necessary to meet ma
tional emergencies"

This machine has a fifty horsepower
engine, its maximum speed Is fifteen
miles an hour, and it's approximate
cost is $4,000. The superintendent is
much pleased with the machinesstn

practical and s~erviceable and takes he,
place Of at least six horses. Forty
three barrels Of apples can be carried
with perfect ease. It will carry a hun

shown here there are 100 baskets Of
peaches. and considerably more could,
