WaStefulness.

The average wheat production per lcre in Minnesota Is about thirteen susnels. 3n Denmark 1t is 3S; in Hol. and. 34: in EnglaEd, 32 bushels, Pol ;ticians talk of the conservation of na- tional resources. What of the con. ,ervation of soil values, the greatest asset the nation has? And what of the wastefulness which extracts from the soil but one-third of the riches 1t Is capable of bearing? The prodigal. ity of congress, the wanton careless pess of cities. the improvi,lence of our 3pendthrifts are of minimum impor. tance compared with the agricultural waste in potential yields and the strange madness that changes annual. lN thousands of prospectively good farmers into mediocre and sallow flat dwellers..-Fublic Ledger.

CEMENT SHAVE
 SILOS.

We will begin manufacturing the Interlocking Cement Slave Silo next week, and planters who are antici- pating building Silos for this years crop should give us their orders now so that we may have the structure ready by the time their crops are ripe.
 The value of permanent Silo is so apparent there is no argument to make as to the propriety of the in- vestment, and while we do not desire to appear presumptuous and ask par don in assuming the right to state that there is no investment a plan ter can make that will permantly en- nance the value of his property and at the same time yield profit of at least one hundred percent annually as the investment in Cement Silo.
 We have cut our prices so that they accord with tse stringent finan- cial conditions of the country, as is evidenced by the fact that a struc- ture of eighty five ton capacity Silo wilt cost the purchaser only $500 when finished. Larger ones of course will cost correspondingly more, based upon cost of additional material re- quired and construction.
 We have employed skilled me chanics from Des Moines, Iowa, the home of the Interlocking Cement Slave Silo, who will have charge of the manufacturing of the material and construction of the Silos. Thus we assure our customers that each and every structure will be perfect, and should stand forever without ad- ditional cost.

Neither Germany nor England will permit
the shipping OF American products in their an

that American vessels floating the Stars and
