Third Liberty Loan Renewals

Numerous loans made to purchasers
Of the Third Liberty Loan bonds are
now reaching maturity. In the ma
jority of cases renewals are being
granted by the lending institutions on
the previous terms. The loans we're
originally made in the latter part of
April and the early part of May to
run for ninety days at the coupon rate
of Il per cent, on margin of 10 per
cent. Although the agreement made
by the bankers only related to the
initial loan, so that it is left entirely
to their discretion what they should
charge on the renewals, the interest
rate is said to have been raised in
only comparatively few cases, and
then not to exceed 4l2 per cent.

Due to its two-wheel construction,
which makes all its power available
for pulling and greater speed, the
Moline Universal Tractor will do as
much work in day Of ten hours
with two 14-inch plow bottoms as the
average three-plow tractor.
The high clearance Of the Moline.
Universal Tractor, as great a. that OF
the average cultivator and its light
weight make it perfectly adapted for
cultivating. With two-row cultiva-
tor. it cultivates from Il to 20 acres
a day. There is hardly anything on
the farm that it cannot do. For odd
Jobs Il is converted into a four wheel
Unit by means of a rear carrying
truck. to which any implement on the
farm may be attached in the ordi-
nary way.
From a mechanical standpoint, the
Moline Universal Tractor measures
ID to the very limit of modern engi-
neering knowledge. Perfected over

You can make more money with
the Moline Universal than any other
tractor because 1t can be kept at pro-
ductiye work more days year-no
mater how large or small your farm
or what crops you grow. / his IS be-
cause TIE Mol;ne-Universal is built to
fit the farm and every operation on
the farm. Il IS not limited to few
operations. nor to certain classes or
work.
The Moline-Univ.rsal viii do any
thing any other tractor will do and IN
addition an infinite variety OF work
impossible for any other tractor. You
can find work for it every day in the
year. II for no other reason than
the fact that the Moline-Universal
will do more and better work and
can be kept buster than any other
tractor, il is your best buy.
BIZ. the greatest advantage OF the
Moline-Universa is that one man
controls both tractor and implement
in all operations. You sit on the seat
OF the implement. where you must SIT
in order 10 do good work. and con-
troll the entire outfit. This means
that YOU can farm more land tAan
was ever before possible, with either
horses or tractor.
The wonderful yersatility and one

FLOWERS for SPRING

month from now you will want to
plant peonies for your spring garden
There seems to be a sufficient supply
of these roots for the present. If you
have old roots that will bear separat-
ing this should be done some time
after the first Of September also.
Throughout the coming month you
should devote some time 10 planting
seeds for your perennials. This is
really splendid way to accomplish
a little wartime thrift BY q modicum
Of care you can produce really thriv-
ing plants from ten or fifteen cents
worth of seeds that would cost If
bought by the plant next spring many
times that amount. From a package OF
hardy lockspur seeds costing no more
than twenty five cents you can pro-
duce several dozen splendid plants.
whereas each separate plant would
probably cost as much as the package
next spring. Moreover, you eliminate
the shipping problem If you buy a little
package OF seeds instead of later on a
box containing the full grown plants.
Seeds grown and established in your
own garden really do far better next
summer than those that are trans
planted from an entirely different en-
virOnment when spring comes. Many
persons with little care even produce
their own pansy plants and chryean-
themum plants by sewing the seeds
some time In the late summer.
