ANOTHER SHIPMENT
 OF SUPERS|X CARS

Cal Messner announced Thursday that he had secured another carload of Hudson Supersix cars, consisting of three seven passenger models and one speedster model Just when he will get any more is a problem that is wor- rying him somewhat
 Messner this week sold a Hudson to W. M. Cross of Clarkdale, and another to s. Martinez of Ray, besides dispos- ing of a G. M. c. ] F ton truck to Jeff Martin, the well known merchant of Canon. who will use it to haul mer- chandise from the wholesale houses in Phoenix to his store in Canon. Messner reports the roads toward Mayer and Canon good in Yavapai county, but says that the portion in Maricopa county could not by any stretch of the imagination be called roads at all.

POPULARITY IF THE MOLIN-U UNIVERSAL
 INCREASES DAILY

"I shall he sorry if We do not get another opportunity to demonstrate the Moline r niversal tractor this fall, said E. R. Hubbard, manager of the tractor department of the Goldman Implement company. We so clearly Jed tho field in the demonstrations at Mesa that I naturally want another chance To show off," But we will not lose anything in tho way of sales, whether wo get another chance for a public demonstration this fall or not. Eterv one Of tho five machines on the noor is sold. and our next carload rnroute from the factory should ar rive in two weeks. and the next car i- due Go be shipped at any time. These twelve E-=chines. from present indica - lions. win not last !ong. in fact will Tar from fll the present demand.
 .One factor in fact the leading fac tor. that is making for the popularity of Tho Moline is it's adaptability. We have three customers in the valley that have produced crops this year with rho Moline Universal alone, not 9 horse on inc place. They plowed and rrcrarrd inc ground, seeded it, culu ratcd Inc crops. and harvested them an with the tractor-and operated in every case with one man. One of oui customers has an old model Moline with which he has handled 100 acres of cotton without a single head o livestock.
 A man does not have 10 be si' feet two and weigh 200 pounds t' handle this machine. either. nor doe' Inc iet it run idle while changing tools to avoid cranking it again, the Reml starting and lighting system take raro of that. and provides a flood O rrht for night work if you get rushed
 We have two salesmen in the field one handling the territory from Temp cast and the other west of Tempe and either one will be glad 70 shov the farmers how well the Moline Uni ,rsal is adapted to their partlcula needs"

RAISING THE DRAFT ACE.

THERE is renewed talk that the government may soon
raise the draft age to forty years, which is quite all
right II such change is needed to supply power II
is painful truth that there numbers Of between
the ages Of thirty-one and forty who haven't yet voun-
eered although having plausible for keeping
of the service The draft would show them their duty
and many of them would make excellent fighting men.
And while extending the draft limit there is military
well economic wisdom in extending it downward
say to nineteen well upwards Without knocking the
efforts of old heads unduly, is truth borne by
history that the youngser average makes the better
fighting man. Our Civil war was fought largely by men
under twenty-one, and there many thousands below
