The one-man feature is just one Of
many advantages the Moline Universal
has over other tractors. II is the only
tractor which will do ell farm work,
Including euhipdiing. Il is the only tractor
regularly equipped with self starter and
electric lights. Non-robust labor can
operate it successfully. and il can be
worked day and night.
No detail has been overlooked to give
the new Moline Universal Model d

You wouldn't think Of riding on the
back Of one of your horses in order to
guide your team. If you did you
would have to have another person to
operate the implement. because you
know most farm implements require
constant attention.
Then why attempt to operate tractor
in a manner which your experience
has proven impracticala Il is just as
illogical to ride on your tractor in front
Of the implement. and expect to operate
the implement from that position. as il
is to operate the implement from the
back Of your horse.
Any way you look at Il you are
working at a disadvantage with the
ordinary tractor. To do the best work
two operators are required. one on the
tractor and one on the implement. In
these days of extreme labor shortage
this is tremendous handicap. With

Think of it. II is said that the
campaign to raise funds for the fight
against tuberculosis, the "white
plague will not be put on in Nash
vile until September, because Of the
fact that many who give money when
called on to do so, will have to wait
until that time before they have time
to get ahead again. That sounds
funny to a country and country town
man-even those who are we'll able
to give even more than they are ever
asked and never feel it.

MRS. PRIDDY LOSES HOME.

Last Friday afternoon at about 5
o'clock, the home of Mrs. Eliza Prid-
dy, near the depot was destroyed by
fire. Mrs. Priddy was in her garden
and had no idea how the fire origi-
mated. Most of the household goods
except two beds were saved, but Mrs.
Priddy had the bad luck to lose $4,000
in money. The loss is estimated at
$500 or more.

IN MEMORY OF MISS VERNON
HOLMES.

By her aunt, Mrs. Maggie Lawler
Dekalb, Texas.
Our darling has gone to rest,
But Oh! what anguish fills our
breast,
To think that we, who loved her so,
Stood Borrowing by and watched
her go.
The gentle voice of one that cheered
US every day -
Is hushed within our home where
Vernon used to stay.
The sweet music and pretty tones
Will not greet us again around our
sad homes.
The summer time has many charms
to sooth the heart that's sad
And brings pleasure now and then
to make the dreary glad,
But nothing comes with all the Joys
to fill the vacant place,
Her bed is empty now, and we miss
her sweet face.
Death has robbed us of our darling
Whom we loved and cherished so.
1t was Vernon, yes, dear Vernon;
Can we help but shed a tear?
One sad week has passed away.
One sad week since that fatal day,
When enc We loved and priced
Lay cold in death before our eyes.
How We loved her, yes we loved her;
Oh, no earthly tongue can tell;
Yes, the angels they have called her, |
Up to heaven there to dwell.
Her bed is empty now,
And her clothes lay by.
A mothers hope, a fathers joy,
In deaths cold arms doth lie.
Go, Dear Vernon, to thy home
On yonder blissful shore.
Wen miss you here, but soon well
come,
Where thou hast gone before.

ance in the drama of American

the world Of commerce an enviable
record Of over thirty years of splen-

Tomorrow we place it on public

aesthete--but to the taste of all
those who gloat on the mark of

quaint blue china that their Grand

fore them.
Prices for the aristocrat-oh, yes.
But prices, too, that the everyday
man can pay. Pieces to be the
Crowning jewels in great collections
most assuredly. And pieces to be
the treasures of the humble.
And 50 it is our privilege to present
and with reverence we present it
this crowning triumph of Gimbel
