On most farms more time is spent
in cultivating than any other opera
ton. Sixty per cent of the crops are
planted in rows that require culti-
waiting, which must be done at the
busiest season.
If one man is TO farm more land
than ever before, which is absolute
1y necessary, he must cultivate more
land than ever before. With the
Moline-Universal Tractor one man
can cultivate two rows at time and
do it better, quicker and cheaper than
with horses.
The Moline Universal Tractor
straddles the corn row-it has more
clearance than the ordinary cu1tiva-
torso corn can be cultivated in all
stages. The tractor is attached to the
cultivator and forms one complete
unit-the tractor the front wheels,
and the cultivator the rear wheels.
The operator sits on the cultivator in
line with the right drive wheel of the
tractor, where he has clear and I'M
INSTRUCTED view of the rows ahead.
This is of the utmost Importance for
good work.
All the operator has to do is to
keep the right wheel of the Moline
Universal a certain distance from the
outside row and the whole outfit will
go properly. For lodging individual

used, within an hour representative
of the Prairie Farmer counted a dozen
trucks at the yards. Each of the ma
chimes had from five to twenty hogs,
and some five or six cows or bulls. All
of these trucks entered the yards be-
tween 9 and 10 o'clock in the morning,
some returning to the country imme-
diately for another load of stock to
be delivered in the Afternoon
The books of the stock yards COM
pany show that during the year of
1918, 1882 cattle, 2,1S6 calves, 800
hogs, and 1886 sheep were driven

by the operators feet.
The automatic electric governor al
lows the tractor to be slowed down
to "snairs pace.
But cultivating is only one of all
the farm operations the Moline-Uni-
versal Tractor can do. 1t is light,
yet does as much work with two IA
inch plow bottoms as the ordinary
three-plow tractor, on account of its
higher speed, 31a miles an hour. Be-

Important Points
In Care Of Tires

The average motorist, despite his
constant endeavor to increase his tire
upkeep, frequently overlooks one of
the most important mileage factors,
according to some of the tire experts
of Akron, where most of the tires are
manufactured. Rim neglect, they say,
is just as serious a tire menace as low
grade rubber or defective fabric. In
asmuch as most discussions concern
ing tire conservation deal largely with
the tire itself, one of the large rubber
companies is sending out a statement
concerning the rim situation. 1t is
pointed out that bent, loose, creeping
and rusty rims are conditions that the
tire consumer must always guard
against.
"A bent rim, for example, has ruined
many tires under 500 miles of service
when that tire would have run six or
seven thousand miles if proper atten-
ton had been paid to the Tim," reads
q statement, which is being sent out
by a rubber company. The bend i'll
the rim caused a break in the tire
just above the bead-such a break is
most destructive and costly"
Loose demountable rims also cause
lot of tire trouble if not watched
carefully" continues the statement.
when one of the wedges becomes
loose, the rim starts working" and
gradually the other wedges become
loose. A creeping rim is the result
and the valve stem bears the whole
strain until it is finally pulled oft.
Furthermore, those wedges are often
frightened UP unevenly. This ends in
what is referred to as a 'wobbly tire
and the tread is worn down prema-
turely At other times, motorists pound
both the rim and the tire with ham,
mer to get the rim off or on. The
pounding of the rim doesn't do any
particular harm, unless it bends the
rim, but every blow on the tire may
cause a fabric break and that is very
serious

MEN Big Need OF
INDUSTRY

"The greatest need of American in
dustry-greater than the need for ma
manufacturing facilities, greater even
than the need for home and foreign
barkets-is the need for men," say
Steve Worley, who handles the Rich
mond agency for Mitchell and West
colt motor cars.
1--WE must have real two-fisted,
hard-hitting, hardworking men from
the leaders on down to the mechanics
and laborers if we are to take our
proper place in the commercial rank
of nations.
Happily enough, the boys now re-
turning to civilian life offer us the
very best type of clean lived, ener-
getic young Americans we most have.
And they know what is in store for
this country. They who have ben in
the actual grip and struggle of the
war, know better than the best of us
who had to stay at home, what the
future calls for.
Made Men by War.
at is rather startling to observe
the changes wrought by the strict dis
cipline of army life in some of our
boys. These same boys who marched
away so gayly that some of us could
not help wondering if in their boyish
enthusiasm they were not overlook
ing the grim seriousness of the job
ahead of them-the very men for
whom we are crying out.
Every day, as the familiar faces re-
appear, we are struck with the sturdy
self-reliance displayed in the new set
of their shoulders, the new straight
forward look in their eyes, the new
directness of their thought and action.
From the camps and schools in
America" concludes Mr.. Morley,
from the trenches and fields in
France, they are finding their way
back as they come home sure of a
hearty welcome and fitting place in
the fast marching ranks of peace"

PLANT TO EMPLOY
$4,000 WORKERS
South Bend Rallies to Need of
Factory for Homes of So
600 Workers.

SOUTH BEND, March 29.-South
Bend will support the Studebaker cor
poration in the project of bringing So
600 people to the city and housing
them. The city's support was signi-
fled at the dinner given at the Oliver
hotel in honor of Albert Russell Frs
kline, president of the Studebaker cor
poration, at which time Mr.. Erskine
outlined plans for enlarging the cor
poration and bringing to South Bend
of $4,000 skilled laborers and their
families which will mean $4,000 addi-
tional citizens. The dinner was given
by the citizens of South Bend.
The exact meaning of the enormous
project was told by Mr.. Erskine. What
changes in the city will be necessary
were also brought out, but according
to the speaker the big problem which
confronts South Bend is that of hous-
ing the additional citizens. Just what
this meant was told by c. Fassnacht Of
the Indiana Lumber company. Ac-
cording to Mr.. Fassnacht it will mean
the expenditure of $4,000, 600, the cree
ton of 1000 homes and to meet the
demand in time the houses will have
to be erected at the rate of seven a
day for the next two years. In accord
ance with the plans the homes will
cost approximately $4,000 each.
Just what the corporation is going
to do in South Bend was graphically
outlined by Mr. Erskine. According
TO the speaker the new automobile
plant which the corporation is con-
templating to erect an investment CT
over $S,000,000 win be required and
will bring from 10000 to $4,000 addi-
tional employees to the city. Automo-
biles will be produced at the rate of
$50 day by January /, 1920, and the
summer of 1920 will see the plant pro-
ducing 900 automobiles daily. The
new buildings are now under con-
struction, 20 per cent of which are
already completed. BY spring so per
cent more will be erected and the re-
naming 80 per cent in the near fu-
ture
The new automobile plant will be
modern in every respect and every
thing known for the welfare of the
workmen will be installed.
Details of the plant were laid by
NJ. f. Wollering of Detroit, Mich, vice
president of the Studebaker corpora
tion.- BY the aid of a chart Mr.. VOL
lering explained in detail the erection
of the new plant, which will cover
over. sixty acres of ground. All the
buildings will be of REINFORCED steel
and concrete, and will afford the cor
poration 100000 additional square
feet of floor space. The plant will be
bounded by Sample street on the
north, Franklin street on the east,
Kendall street on the west and by the
Vandalia railroad on the south.

Trucks Bring Chicago
Liue Stock to Market

An investigation conducted by the
Prairie Farmer directs attention to
the fact that, because Of the conges-
ton Of railroads and the increased
time it requires to ship live stock
to market, even from points only a
short distance away, the motor truck
is being used considerably in freight
ing cattle, hogs, and sheep to the Chi
cago market from points within fifty
miles distance from the stock yards.
AS an idea of how much trucks are

Rusty rims are dangerous because
they corrode tubes, make it hard to
change tires and sometimes result in
freezing on of the tire. Rims should
be cleaned at least once every six
months. Ordinary paint sometimes
placed on the rims after the cleaning
process is not good practice inasmuch
as the heat generated by the tires
melts the paint and the tire sticks to
the rim. Graphite is much better for
this purpose"

THE GHOST.

Murmuring Brook and making such

It was a dark night. The moon
was under a cloud, but the little

SC that they could see as well as if
they had a candle or electric light.
1t was a most exciting time and

was so anxious to know what was

his little hands under the edge but
the canoe was heavy and he couldn't

been just as excited as any of those
little animals.
You know how hard it is to wait,
and it did seem as if nothing would
ever happen.
But at last that canoe began to
rise right up into the air, slowly and
gently without a sound. And as
it rose, the hair on every little AMI
mails back rose too, for it made them
think of ghost stories.
Of course you can't wait to know
who it was, so you must know it was
Uncle GULLY Porcupine and three OF
his friends and his cousin, the White
Porcupine. Quilly's friends were
raising the canoe up with their
strorg backs and when it was up far
enough GULLY took his cousin, the
White Porcupine, by the paw and he
bowed and said, "After you, my

from under the canoe. You know
that Gully is a great gentleman
though sometimes a cross one, and

really Alphonse!
