getting to be a thing of the past. A

once large forest. Then we wonder
at the high price Of lumber and call
the lumberman all the bad names that
we can think of whenever We have
to buy a bill Of this much sought after
article.
When you people in Balfour want
lumber, you a get the best grades
by calling at the Balfour Lumber
company's yard. Mr.. p. C. Glen will
give you the right price, and all the
lumber you can possibly get for the
amount spent. s
The Farmers Exchange.
Don't forget home industry, and
then n~atronizc it. The Farmers Ex-
change will supply your wants, In
flour and feed, and buy your grain
and give you the highest market
price.
This company took in something
like 100000 bushels OF grain Tor the
past years business. The officers are
all men that are well known to the
people of your town and are respon-
sible in every respect and can be re-
lied upon to give you all that Is CON-
ing to you. That is more than You
get sometimes. Mr.. NJ. G. Myhre. pre-
sident; n. b. Kjos, treasurer: Anton
Olson, secretary and M. r Walsh, man
ager. Give them a trial and see what
the results are. that is all they ask.
Busy Elevator.
Another one of your home indus
tries. The g.. w. Meinhardt Elevator
has. had their house filled to the top
a few times in the last year and ex-
pect to double the amount this com.
ing year, and we are of the opinion
that they will, as Mr.. Meinhardt Is
n of those kind that most always
gets what he goes after. Last year
made him a total amount of grain
bought of 96, 1000 bushels. He is an old
grain man and there will be no doubt
as to him giving you the right grade
on your grain if you deal with him.
Mr.. Meinhardt has been buying grain
in Balfour for the last five years and
is known for his honest principles.
General .BIacksmithino.
Thomas & Kumm the general black

not? They have all the latest ma

year-old and want to run away. All
work guaranteed first class, as only
the best workmen are employed.

that very few take advantage Of the
