As a Political Issue.

No man can take positive position
and make friends with everybody. Pres
ident Wilson, by taking sides with Great
Britain, is bound to ALLEVIATE large mass
of American voters, who are naturally
against everything that England is for.
If the Democratic party in Congress
supports him-and it is now evident
that this will be the case-criticism of
President Wilson will be diverted from
him and directed against the party. In
other words, Mr.. Wilson is making his
party responsible for the pro-English
position.
Perhaps out in the prairie land people
do not care very much whether Ameri-
can coastwise vessels have the privilege
of free tolls or not. This will; not pre-
vent the orators of the political opposi-
ton from pointing out that by charging
these vessels with toll, the trans-conti-
mental railroads are materially aided, be-
cause every dollar added to the expense
of Transporting freight between the
Atlantic and Pacific oceans will lessen
the amount carried by sea. The people
of the Middle West and the Pacific
Slope will find that much of the compe-
tition of water transportation, so greatly
feared BY the railroads, will have been
removed and to this extent the benefits
of the canal viii be greatly decreased.
Along the sea5oard States there will be
considerable bitterness if American ships
have to pay the same. tolls as foreign
vessels.

would assist in enacting the repeal. so

WIND DESTROYS slLOs.

y . = . i g 3 y ~ Z.
The storm which passed over this
section 81 the country last evening,
blew down several silos north Of town.
This is one Of the news items that
Ninot people read in the local papers
last year.
The Piper-Howe Lumber Company
Of this city are putting out Silo,
which they absolutely guarantee to
withstand any wind for, one year.
Whatever damage should come to the
Silo in the first year from wind, they
are here to fully repair or replace.
The beauty Of this Arctic sSilo, which
they sell, is that no guy wires to sup
port it are required. Guy wires are
not only unsightly, but they are as
dangerous as barbed wire fence.
\ The Arctic .Silo cannot freeze be-,
cause it has a double wall. It cannot
blow down because each upright is
anchored in a concrete base.
Call at the Piper Howe Lumber
Company's Bffice and those in charge
will be glad to explain the construc-
ton and working of this Silo. Twice

I can see from your last letter that
you have some scrambled ideas about

head. A good back is Valuable as

other purposes than being fed. A nice,

at dance and is also useful to carry

uses it to think with.
Why wait until April to haul your
fence posts?
You are sitting around now wonder
ing If spring has really come and you
are about as useful as an ice cream
