Being close coupled to the imple-
ment, the Moline Universal Tractor
backs as readily as it goes forward,
and turns in a 16-fOOt circle. It
steers so easily that boy or woman
can handle it as well as g. man.
With the Moline-Universal one
man can take care of all the require
ments on the average size farm.
Flowing with two-bottoms, the
Moline Universal Tractor does as
much work in one day as the ordi-
nary three-plow tractor, due to the
higher speed at which it operates, SH
miles an hour. 1t has the power to
run at this high speed because all of
its weight is traction weight-all of
it is converted to pull.
The light weight of the Moline
Universal Tractor, $3.50 pounds, and
its high clearance-greater than that
of the average cultivator-make it
perfectly adapted for cultivating. It
isn't the kind of tractor that does
your blowing and seed bed prepara-
tion and then rests while your horses
do the planting, cultivating and har-
Avesting.
Mechanically, the Moline -Univer-
sal is the most modern tractor built,
containing more re6nements and inn
provements than any other tractor on
the market.

PEACE THRU VICTORY
Only by a Complete Victory
Comes Lasting Peace

Vogue realization that civilization
was capable of sustaining a world
war for four years was in the minds
of the American people at that
time.
The seeming impossible has hap
pened. and in spite of tremendous
loss of life and destruction of prop,
erty, the end of the terrible con.
flict is not yet in sight War is
becoming the established status of
human society and will continue so
until the issue is decided. Individ
nal undertakings and opinions
must of necessity be subservient to
the needs of the government.
There can be no compromise. or
the issue, the free nations are
agreed, through the leadership of
the most paciist people in the
world. the people who first fought
for the righteous cause of Liberty,
but most averse to war-the
Americans.
America did not take up the
sword until compelled to, which
created in the minds of some OF
the peoples of other nations all
nnfavorable impression as to our
fighting qualities and resources. NJ
utteraDce of a statesman was ever
more misunderstood than that of
President Wilson. We are too
proud to fight The full sigDifi
Cance OF the remark comes home
when the despicable methods EN-
ployed by the GeTmars become
better known. What man of intel.
lieence or breeding seeks to enter
into hrawl with a bunch of bar
room ruffi6ns, until the police are
found incapable of handling the
situation. But once this too proud

it is for the sake of humanity thai
he must enter the fight, you will
never fiDd him laying down until
it is finished on terms that preclude

ing Americans. who are fighting
for no selfish purposes and seek
nothing but return of conditions
under which all nations both great
and small may be permitted to live
at peace with their neighbors.
AS the war enters upon the fifth
year this attitude is becoming bet
ter understood by nations who
formerly looked upon US as a dollar
grasping people. The war is cost
''ing American people approximately
$5O,0C0,000 a day. Our loans to
Allies have reached a sum greatly
in excess of the entire cost of the
Civil War, YET there has been no
complaint worth while noticing
Every sacrifice asked by the gov
ernment has been met by the main
body of our people in a spirit which
cannot help but reassure other ma

ica's Answer"
The great mass of the American
people, and no doubt those of every
nation would be glad to have peace
come tomorrow if it were the right
kind of peace. But they will fight,
sacrifice and give four years more
if necessary to prevent the wrong
kind of peace. The tremendous
cost will not be counted as waste

Maybe Not So Ignorant

The Germsn crown prince had
better not been so quick to jump to
the conclusion that because an
American soldier told him that AL
SAGE was a big lake he did not
know any better. He might only
been induleing the American pro-
pensity to string the wise guys and
and was only kidding the prince.
Anyway when the prince speaks
of the majority of the Americans
intimating by that that be has in
terviewed large number Of Amer
leans, he must be a little off since
all he knows about this is what in
formation he secured from a few
prisoners. and the figures show that
il he had personally interviewed all
of these be would not have talked
to as many Americans as they are
voters in good sized city precinct.
