AGAINST $3.50 WHEAT
HOUSE OPPOSED TO CHANGE IN
T7IcE-BILL RETURNED.
conferees viii Meet Early Next Week
to Consider Their course-Presi-
dent Against Increase.

Washington, April 19.-President
Wilson won his fight against S2.50-a-
bushel wheat in the house when the
senate proposal was rejected and the
agricultural appropriation bill sent
back TO conference with house con-
ferees instructed to stand against the
increase in the existing government
maximum of 50.
The proposition to increase the gov
eminent price to $3.50 i bushel, pre-
sented by Senator Gore, commanded
the support of two-thirds of the SEN
| ate, although the president told the
| leaders he was opposed to the in
crease; that it was not needed to slim
| ulate production. and that 50 was a
falr price and offered reasonable
| profits.
The cOnferees will meet early next
week TO consider their course.
The test vote on $3.50 wheat came
In the house on an amendment by
Representative Mclaughlin of Michi-
gan, to make that the maximum price
at primary markets.
After a day of debate this amend
ment was lost by vote of $50 to 1873.
An amendment by Representative
Morgan of Oklahoma to make the
price $2.65 bushel went out on a
point of order
The bill was sent back to confer
ence by vote of 1877 to 9S.
Representative Sterling of Illinois
declared:
You can fix the price but not the
worth of wheat. Worth cannot be
fixed by law any more than you can
regulate the law of supply and de-
mand. No brain can tell what wheat
Will be worth when the crop is har-
vested If you fix the price too low
wheat wiz disappear and something
will be substituted for 1t.
II heard Mr.. Hoover say he had no
intention to fix the price in the bins
of the farmers, but that wheat should
go on the market for what it is
worth"
THE argument for $3.50 wheat is
based on an irresponsible statement
from some one that such price will
prevent feeding wheat to live stock
and stimulate production" said Rep
resentative Good of Iowa.
1T is folly to say anything we may
do now will affect the 191S-this years
crop.
Il raise wheat, and / find it more
profitable than corn or other crops
at the present price"

shortly after midday the attack had
been repulsed at all points. In the
Bailleul sector the enemy attacked
three times before midday and in each
case suffered complete repulse
"Our line was reported intact on

Berlin Admits Check.
Berlin, April 19.-The German off
cial report says: 1.-THE enemy left to
us a large part of the Flemish terri
tory, which had been gained by him
after months of struggle at the price
of huge sacrifice. General Sixt Won
Arnim's army took from the enemy,
retreating step by step, Poeieapelle,
Langemarck and Zonnebeke, and, fol-
lowing him up closely, drove him back
behind Steenbrook.

.VXVER.XAL TRACTOp
gksSYs2K5SsS zg1ssg 7:2ss1l Z9I27s Problem

With two 14-inch bottoms, under
average blowing conditions, the new
Moline Universal Tractor, Model D,
plows 9 acres in 10 hours, as much
as ordinary 3-plow machine. The SUI
perior efficiency of the Moline Uni
versal is due to its higher speed, 81
miles an hour, two bottoms at 3H
miles giving the same number of
plow-nliles as three bottoms at "a
miles.
Flowing at 81 miles an hour gives
ideal results, the ground being pull
verified more thoroughly than at
slower speeds, with less air space.
Tough sod that cannot be turned at
all at 22 miles an hour is plowed
with ease.
Perfect work is assured with the
Moline Universal through the adyan-
tageous position Of the operator, who
sits on the implement, where he must
sit in order to do good work. The
Moline Universal is easily handled,
turns short, and backs as readily as
it goes forward.
Waste of time in the field is elimi-
mated and the tractor kept at produce
tive work a maximum number of
hourssa day through a complete cleo
trio starting and lighting system. The
Moline Universal is the only tractor
thus regularly equipped.
The Rice belt journal. (Welsh, Calcasieu Parish, La.) 1900-19??, 1918-12-21

The secret of the speed and power
of the Moline Universal lies in its
perfected overhead-valve engine and
two-wheel construction. The engine
develops IS horsepower at the belt,
and 9 at the drawbar, every ounce of
which is available for pull. There
are no dead wheels to drag along
that only carry weight and steer.
For blowing in extremely. soft
ground, the Moline Universal is
equipped with a differential lock that
enables the two drive wheels to be
locked together, doubling their pull
ing power.
When blowing the land wheel is
raised so that the tractor is level.
The wheel is very easily and quickly
raised or lowered.
The light weight of the Moline
Universal, $3.50 pounds, and its high
clearance, 1914 inches, make it adapt
ed for all other field work, besides
blowing. With it one man can plant
40 acres day, cultivate 20 acres a
dayaharvest 25 acres a day, or do
any other work with equal speed. 1t
is the ideal tractor for any sized
farm, practically eliminating horses
and solving the farm help problem.
Gail and let rs Show your this re-
markable machine.
