SNAUlVXVE1R.SAL TRACTOO n

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 su-
perior efficiency of the Moline Uni
verSal is due to its higher speed, 3H
miles an hour, tive bottoms at 3H
miles giving the same number of
plow-miles as three bottoms at I'd
miles.
Flowing at 3z miles an hour gives
ideal results, the ground being pull
yerized more thoroughly than at
slower speeds, with less air space.
Tough sod that cannot be turned at
all at 2H miles an hour is plowed
with ease.
Perfect work is assured with the
Moline Universal through the advan-
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 produc-
tive work maximum number of
hours a day through complete elec-
trio starting and lighting system. The
Moline Universal is the only tractor
thus regularly equipped.

Losses Will Total Millions and Toll of Death Will Reach to Twenty.

of Death Will Reach to Twenty.
 Atlanta, Ga, Dec 12.-Unpreeedent- ed floods in Alabama, Georgia and Mississippi that started early in the week, generally were receding today but rivers not greatly affected during the first two or three days were out of banks and causing heavy property loss. This was particularly true around Montgomery, where the swollen Ala bama had almost paralyzed the city's industries without doing great damage to the Alabama capital itself.
 Loss Will Total Millions.
 Floods of the past week have cover ed such a large territory that no de- tailed estimates of loss have become available but compilation of various reports indicates they will total sever al million dollars.
 Probably the worst effects of the flood anywhere today were felt in Montgomery, where street car service was suspended because of lack of cur rent and schools were closed.
 A Score Drowned.
 Many persons were marooned around the city but only five lives were lost, according to available reports. The toll of life was generally small thru the three states, probably not amount ing to more than a score in all.
 Train service was badly demoraliz- ed in lower Alabama, Mississippi and Georgia, but from Hattiesburg came reports that some trains would be re sumed during the day. Railroads suf fered heavily from washouts and in dustries from their plants being flood ed, while farmers lost hundreds of head of livestock and the southern portions suffered from damage to growing crops.

 He was silent for a moment; then, just as Andrea's lips were opening to remark, he added, I'm glad you brought him to my mind. The thought of him has freed me from my regret. You're here, I'm glad you are, and you shall stay. The only question is whether you are going to sulk or whether you will smile and accept the cure of the philosophy of contrasts"
 That's a new one" said Andrea.
 'Not at all," replied the man. The philosophy of contrasts is based on the idea that a rut and death are one and the same thing"
 You've missed your vocation, White Man." said Andrea fiippantly. You should get your pulpit and turn mis- sionary to society,""

 His eyes wandered to the half wrecked aeroplane. "Yes, it has failed once"

 He started in his chair and if he had been thinking of his personal troubles, promptly forgot them. Had it been merely chance shot, he spec ulated, or was this young lady pos sessed of that rarest of virtues, quirk of mischief in the face of ad- versity? "Women know no conver- sion except through love-" were the exact words he had used. He recalled them perfectly, and watching in silence a telltaie flush rise from her bare neck into her hot cheeks, he perceived that she also remembered.
