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 cult
waiting, which must be done at the
busiest season.
If one man is to farm more land
than ever before, which is absolute
ly 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 cultiva-
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 a 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

A ROUsING MEETING

The monthly meeting of the Wausau
Chamber of Commerce, held at the
Hotel Bells last Monday noon, would
indicate that this organization is grow
ing in popularity among he BUSINESS
men of the city and is being better
appreciated each year, as the attend
ance was more than seventy-five, the
largst of any of these gatherings.
The committee on membership re-
ported that booster" campaign had
been outlined and planned and would
be inaugurated next week, and that
it was hoped that the membership
would through this means be more
than doubled.
The principal speaker at the meet
ing was E. e. Westfall, superintendent
of the American Railway Express Co,
Of Milwaukee, and whose topic re-
lated to the matter of claims. He sug-
gested that these were an annoyance
to shippers and consignee, as we'll as
to the company and an expense that
ultimately was borne by the public.
Poor packing and Insufficient address,
es were responsible for large part of
the stray packages. Old and insecure
containers were too often used and by
being broken exposed the contents and
often suggested heft, whereas, if the
package had been properly wrapped
this exposure would not have furnished
an incentive. These thefts were not
as rule the work of employees, but
occurred in transit from trucks and
wagons, and often from the warehous-
es of the company. Hand satchels and
trunks were the most frequent losses,
and auto tires were a close second, due
largely to the insufficiency of address
or the fact that old addresses had not
been obliterated and in the hurry these
were the ones seen by the employees.
The liability of the company was dis
cussed at some length and specific in
stances of injustice done shippers were
made. These Mr. Westfall agreed to
have investigated.
III reply to a direct inquiry by a
member, Mr.. Yves tall stated that a
delivery made upon sidewalk was
not delivery, that the express COM
pany was bound to deliver into the
building, although not above the first
floor unless the building was equipped
with elevator service.

"MOTHER-LOVE"

There has been lot of sentimental
twaddle, written, spoken, and thought
about ''mother-love." This has made
fools of many women who might
otherwise have made good mothers and
good wives. And it has wrecked many
households which otherwise might
have become good homes.
1 put hyphen in and quotation
marks around "mother-love," to show
that it is the imitation 'looks like silk
and wears longer" variety of mother
l am thinking and writing about. She
is the type who overdoes her mother
ing until she spoils her children and
ruins her own and her husbands dis
positions in the process.
When her husband comes home from
work,-tired out with the monotony
of his grind he finds his wife even
more tired and irritable than he is.
When he suggests starting some
thing"-a. movie, a neighborhood call,
or Having someone in for the even
ing" his wife is "just too tired hav-
ing had the children on her hands
all day." When he suggests that she
ought to have someone % help with
the children, she is shocked that he
should be willing to have the children
under the care of anyone who can not
give them the care that is inspired
only by "mother-love."
The children, meanwhile, have also
become exhausted by too much moth
ering. They need a vacation just as
much as do mother and father. They
would be far more respectful and ap-
nreciatiVa did thew hut coo LITTLE 1aSc
of mother.
"Mother-love," is a well nigh in
durable malady because it's victims
are so we'll satisfied that they are the
only good mothers. Sometimes, how
ever, improvement is obtained by
studying the methods of the tabby-
cat mother. She is wise because she
keeps her children clean and well fed
on proper food and leaves pretty much
of the rest of the growing process to
the children themselves and to Nature
after all, the greatest of all mothers.

by the operators feet.
The automatic electric governor all
lows the tractor to be slowed down
to a "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, 81 miles an hour. Be-
ing coupled to the various farm inn
plenents with which it is used. it
enables one man to perform every
farm operation better than two men
can do the same work with the ordi-
nary tractor. In addition it has plen-
ty of power for belt work, easily
handling a 24-inch grain separator.
Mechanically, the Moline Univer-
sal contains rehnements and improve
ments that stamp it as the foremost
tractor. Perfected overhead-valve
four-cylinder engine, complete en-
closure of all working parts, includ-
ing the final drive gears, electric
starting and lighting system, Is Hyatt
heavy duty roller bearings and five
high grade ball thrust bearings, diff

FAMOUS FRENCH PLAY COMING

One effect that the great war is
likely to have upon the theatre in
America is the increased popularity
of plays translated and adapted from
the French. Through the presence
abroad of more than two million
Americans, their return is certain to
give great stimulus to the local pro-
duction of Partisan successes. This
is not particularly because our boys
from over there have acquired a per-
feet command of the language, but
because the knowledge they have
gained of that country and its people
must give a new interest to any play
that portrays life as the true Paris
ian sees it, and shows human nature
as it appears to him.
Stolen Sweets" is an Americanized
version of the most realistic things in
dramatic way that has been pro-
duced abroad in years, and it is GER
tain to meet with the same apprecia-
ton here that has been given it in Par
is, where it was played at the Theatre
Gymnaise for 600 consecutive per-
formances. 1t will be seen at the
Grand on Wednesday, Feb. II.
