You can make more money with
the Moline Universal than any other
tractor because it can be kept at pro-
ductive work more days year-no
matter how large or small your farm
or what crops you grow. This is be-
cause the Moline Universal is built to
fit the farm and every operation on
the farm. 1t is not limited to few
operations, nor to certain classes of
work.
The Moline Universal will 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. If 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, it is your best buy.
But the greatest advantage of the
Moline Universal is that orc man
controls both tractor and implement
in oil operations. You sit on the seat
of the implement. where YOU must sit
in order to do good work. and COIL
troll the entire outfit. This means
that you can farm more land than
was ever before possible, with either
horses or tractor.
The wonderful versatility and one
man control of the Moline-U Universal
are due to its two-wheel construc-
ton. It attaches direct to the imple-
ment and forms one compact unit
with 1.-THE tractor the front wheels
and the implement the rear wheels.
Every control on both tractor and

irnEement is within reach, making
easy handling of the entire outfit,
which can be turned in 16-fooe
circle, and backs as readily as it goes
forward. A boy or woman can han
die it as we'll as man.
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 as that Of
the average cultivator. and its light
weight make it perfectly adapted for
cultivating. With a twS-row cultiva-
tor, it cultivates from II to 30 acres
day. There is hardly anything on
the farm that it cannot do. For odd
johsit is converted into 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
up to the very limit of modern engi-
ncering knowledge. Perfected over
head-valve four-cylinder engine, COM
plete enclosure of all working parts,
electric starting and lighting system
with electrical engine governor, and
differcntial lock are only few of the
many improved features. 1t will pay

AUTO SMASHED
FRUIT STORE
SHOW WINDOW
A. r. Slader of Rutland Arraign-
ed in Municipal Court
HEARING is CONTINUED
Owner Charged With Operating an
Automobile While Under influence
of intoxicating Liquor

A. X. Slader, optometrist, Of Rut-
land, was arraigned before Municipal
Judge William J. Meagher this morn
ing charged with operating an auto
mobile while under the influence Of
intoxicating liquor. Because of the
mans condition the court refused to
preside at the hearing and remanded
Slader to the custody of the sheriff
until he should be able to undergo
a trial.
Shortly before If o'clock this fore
noon Slader was driving his car over
North street in northerly direction.
He was not able to keep a uniform
course and shortly after passing the
corner of Pleasant street his car
swerved to the left side of the high
way. A car belonging to ]. c. Cox
gate of Old Bennington and driven to
the village by Thomas Bason was
standing at the curb just south OF the
fruit store of H. Joseph. Slader's
car, a Ford, hit the Colgate car on
the side. IL then swerved to the left,
ran over the curb and crashed into
the fruit store window.
Both the front and the sidelights in
the fruit store window were smashed
and the broken glass was mixed with
the display OF fruit Of which a0nsid-
cradle was ruined.
Sheriff p b. Gardner. who took
Siader into custody, is of the opinion
that when the Ford hit the heavier
car the wishbone of the tin lizzie was
so badly bent that the driver had nc
control OF the machine. 1t was ap-
parent that he made no effort to use
his brakes and that he stepped on the
gas instead of trying to check speed
At any rate he hit the fruit store
window with force enough to make 9
messy looking wreck.
Slader was taken to the office o
States Attorney Collins NJ. Grave.
where George NJ. Hawks, the ownel
of the building, attempted to effec
settlement for $125. Slader com
menced to draw checks but finall,
tore up the blanks and remarked tha
everyone present could 90 where ther,
is no ice in January H. Joseph sub
mitted bill Of $27 for damages t.
stock. II was finally ordered by thu
court that the hearing be adjourned
until late in the day when Slade,
could be represented by counsel
Slader intimated that James Dono
way of Vergennes would be his rep
resentatiye when the hearing was re
sumed
Slader's car was hauled into tn,
garage OF the Ford agency on Nortl
street where 1t was found that thi
axle and the wishbone we're sprunl
and bent. One wheel was twiste,
around at right angles to the car
Sheriff Gardner estimated that tn,
Colgate car sustained damage to tn,
amount of $25.
