With the Moline-Universat-the
original two-wheel tractor-One MAJ,
can farm more land than was ever
before possible, because
One Man has power at his COM
nand equal to six horses, capable of
doing the work of nine horses, due
to its greater speed and endurance.
One Man operates the Moline Uni
versal from the seat of the imple-
mcnt to which it is attached, where
he must sit in order to do good work.
One Man can start in the spring
and 60 from one operation to an
other-plowing, narrowing, planting,
cultivating, sowing, harvesting grain
or corn, spreading manure, filling the
silo, cutting wood, etc., doing all
farm work from one years end to
another, independently of horses or
hired help.
All these one-man operations are
possible with the Moline Universal
because it is mounted on two wheels.
1t attaches direct to the implement,
making one compact unit-the trac-
tor the front wheels and the imple-
ment the rear wheels. One man con-
trolls the entire outfit, from the seat
of the implement. There has been
good reason in the past for putting
seat on implements, for it is from
this point that the work must be
observed and that adjustments must
be made.

TURKS IN BREAK
WITH GERMANY

LONDON, July 30.-The relations
between Germany and Turkey have
been severed, according to direct in
formation from Constantinople. This
announcement is made by the Copen-
hagen correspondent of the Exchange
Telegraph company.

ton, but this government would not
be surprised If Turkey had been
driven to an open rupture as there
is a well-founded back ground for
the report.
Reports that the Turkish mission
had recently been trying in Switzer-
land to cultivate friendship with
some allied government have been
received here. 1t would be natural
for the Turks to endeavor to find
some friends among the allied powers
before breaking with their old as
sociates. When the present Sultan
came to the throne in Constantinople
a few weeks ago some strong anti
Germans came into power. Many
Turkish officials blame the Germans
for the lack Of food and supplies in
l turkey as well as the reverses sus-
tanned by Turkish arms.

fighter Engages in the
Salvation Army War
Work.

Mrs. Robert Fitzsimmons is en-
route for France. Our readers will
remember the wave of interest tha
swept the country when the widow o.
the heavy weight champion Of the
world was converted in Salvation
army meeting.
No scandel ever touched "Bob's'
home life. The loyalty and the ten.
derness between the two was pro.
verbal in the sporting world.
Mrs. Fitzsimmons was a superior
woman, brilliant woman. Her gen.
eralship, her gameness and splendid
loyalty at dozen ringsides did
much to make her man the invicible
fighter that he was.
Dne contributed what the papers,
in these days, call morale" to her
knight Of the squared circle. After
his death, the restless spirit of his
militant wife beat itself nearly to
death until she strangely came under
the innuence of the Salvation army
and was converted. She was re-
ceived in the training school, gradu-
ated and has for the past year and a
half been active in the field and with
the most striking success.
And now she goes to France. She
leaves a luxurious home for the
perils of the figting line. But she Is
fighting woman. Blood and blows
will not brighten her, the queen Of
the arena in the old days.
The passion of loyalty, once
poured into the life of her hero, a
prize-fghter, is now ready and san
Gifted to be poured out in service
for the boys who fight for democ-
racys life in the greatest arena of
the worlds history.
The state wide drive for funds for
the support of the work of the Sal
walton army in France Is now in full
swing. Several counties have al
ready gone over the top. Other
county drives are on right now. It
is hoped to see the whole state
safely over by September 1.
The state quota is $4,000.

ing north of Chateau Thierry July
1875.
Meinkopf is the first German "ace'
shot down by an American.
The German wore the ribbon OF
the Pour lie Merit, and is said to have
shot down sixteen allied airplanes.
Officers Of the French air corps be-
lieve that Meinkopf's score s even
higher than sixteen victories.
Meinkopf is well built blonde, 20
years of age and wears a close crop
ped mustache. His French is perfect
and he can speak excellent English
also, but he refused to use that Ian
guage to Avery because few French
officers were present could not un-
derstand it.
Avery had just joined Captain Da-
vid Peterson's squadron on Wednes-
day and was making his first trip
over the fighting lines when he
scored his big Victory.

good when I first met him." said
Avery after the fight.

I would have gone ahead of him, al

Then 'volleyed' to the right and
got some German machine gun bull
lets, but I was firing myself, too.
About the fifth shot I saw a burst of
flame and Meinkopfs engine stopped
dead--for he had started it up by
this time. He spiraled down into a
wood east of Chateau Thierry and I
followed.
"Meinkopf's fokker was smashed
to bits by the trees but the airman
was unhurt except for some slashes
upon his face. He asked me my

service without the approval of the
state director; nor shall any labor
be removed by the service from one
state to another without the ap-
prevail of the U. s. employment SER
vice at Washington. Every effort
will be made to discourage any move
ments from community to Community
or state to state by any other service.
This labor program has the ap-
prevail of all producing departments
OF the government, thru the war
labor policies board.
1t must be understood that farm
labor will be protected, for the in
dustrial program distinctly includes
special efforts to keep the farmer
Supplied with labor.
The requirement that unskilled
labor must be recruited thru the sole
agency of the U. s. employment SER
vice does not at present apply in the
following five cases:
l. Labor which is not directly or
indirectly solicited.
2. Labor for the railroads.
3. Farm lab0r-to be recruited
In accordance with existing arrange
ment with department Of agriculture.
4. Labor for non-war work.
5. Labor for establishments
whose maximum force does not ex-
coed 100.
When he survey Of labor require
ments has been made and the aggre-
gate demand for unskilled labor in
war work is found, each state will be
assigned a quota, representing the
common labor to be drawn from
among men engaged in non-essential
industries in that state.
These state quotas will in turn
be distributed among localities.
Within each locality, employers in
non-war work, including those who
are only partially in war work, will
be asked to distribute the local
quotas from time to time amongst
themselves. Quotas by localities
and individuals are to be accepted
as readily as they are for liberty
loan and Red Cross campaigns. This
plan of labor quotas Is a protection
for all communities.
The object is to keep any COM
munity from being drained of labor,
and to use local supply as far as pos
sible, for local demand. The situa-
ton, however, is such that in certain
cases some men may have to be
over long distances.
1t will be noted from the above
outline that this is probably the
most drastic action that the govern
ment has taken since putting the
national army draft into effect. The
absolute necessity for this program
can be seen when it is realized that
in Pittsburg, for instance, there are
Advertisements calling for men to go

cars here are posters asking men to

lion is apparent all over the United
States and in the consequent shifting

Government Control Of Labor
Government Will Take Over the Labor Supply
of the United States to Protect Industries
and Stop Waste. Tremendous Saving
Will Be Made by the Change


| On August 1, the supplying Of wal
industries with common labor will
be centralized in the U. 8. employ
ment service of the department o.
labor, and all Independent recruitfns
Of common labor by manufacturer
having a payroll of more than LOO
men will be diverted to the U. s
employment service. This is in &C.
cordance with the decision of the
war labor policies board and ap.
proved by the president on June17
(The war labor policies board IL
composed of representatives of the
war, navy and agricultural depart.
ments, the shipping board and the
emergency fleet corporation, the wal
industries board and the food, fuel
and railroad administrations. Its
chairman is Felix Frankfuter, assis.
tant to the secretary of labor.)
The above action was found neces-
sary to overcome perilous shortage
of unskilled labor in war industries.
This shortage was aggravated by an
almost universal practice of labor
stelaing and poaching.
while the restrictions against the
private employment of labor apply
only to common labor at the present
time, these restrictions will. as soon
as possible, be extended to include
skilled labor. In the meantime, re-
cruiting of skilled labor for war pro-
duction will be subject to federal
regulations now being prepared.
This drastic change in the nations
labor program has been found neces-
sary in order to protect the employer
and the employed, to conserve the
labor supply Of the communities and
to cut down unnecessary and expen-
sive labor turnover (Which, in some
cases, is as high as 100 per cent a
week. and to increase the produc-
ton of essentials.
While nOn-essential Industries will
be drawn upon to supply the neces-
sary labor for war work, the with
drawal will be conducted on an
equitable basis in order to protect
the individual employer as much as
possible.
Under the operating methods
adopted, the country has been
divided into thirteen federal dis
tricts, each district in charge of a
of the U. s. employ
ment service. The state within each |
district are in turn in charge of a |
state director, who has full control of
the service within his state.

formed local community labor |
board, consisting of a representative
Of the U. S employment service, a
of employers and
of the employed.
This board will have jurisdiction
over recruiting and distributing la
Dor in its locality.

IS being made, and in order that each
community may be fully protected,
'ulings have been issued that no
