ONE MAN CULTIVATES TWO ROWS AT A TIME with the MOLINE UNIVERSAL TRACTOR It Solves The Farm Help Problem One man cultivates 12 to 20 acres in 10 hours One man ploughs 7 to 9 acres in 10 hours One man lifts 12 to 20 acres in 10 hours One man harvests 15 tp 25 acres of grain in 10 hours One man harvests 8 to 10 acres of corn in 10 hours Equipped with rear carrying truck for odd jobs On most farms more time is spent in cultivating than any other operation. Sixty per cent of the crops are planted in rows that require cultivating, which must be done at the busiest season. If one man is to farm more land than ever before, which is absolutely necessary, he must cultivate more land than ever before. With the Moline-Universal Tractor one man can cultivate two rows at a 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 cultivator - so 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 unobstructed view of the rows ahead. This is of the utmost importance for good work. All the operator has to do is keep the right wheel of the Moline Universal a certain distance from the outside row and the whole outfit will go properly. For dodging individual hills the cultivator gangs are shifted by the operator's feet. The automatic electric governor allows the tractor to be slowed down to a "snail's pace" But cultivating is only one of all the farm operations the Moline-Universal Tractor can do. It is light yet does as much work with two 14 inch plow bottoms as the ordinary three-plow tractor, on account of its higher speed, 3 1/2 miles an hour. Being coupled to the various farm implements 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 ordinary tractor. In addition it has plenty of power for belt work, easily handling a 24-inch grain separator. Mechanically, the Moline-Universal contains refinements and improvements that stamp it as the foremost tractor. Perfected overhead valve four-cylinder engine, complete enclosure of all working parts, including the final drive gears, electric starting and lighting system, 15 Hyatt heavy duty roller bearings and five high grade ball thrust bearings, differential lock, and electrical engine governor are a few of many features that place the Moline-Universal ahead of all the rest. A FULL LINE OF POWER FARM MACHINERY R.B. MOUNT, Dexter, Iowa Meeting of Republican National Committee in Chicago Notable Event Women Official Members of Committee and Sat in All Its Sessions Chicago, Jan. 20 - The meeting here on Friday, the 10th inst of the Republican National Committee, was one of the most notable gatherings in party history. All the states were represented by committeemen, in person or by proxy, and unity and harmony were the watchwords of the hour. Never before, so far in advance of a Presidential campaign, was such general interests manifested in party affair, or such universal optimism evinced as to the success of a forthcoming struggle. One of the most notable and significant features of the meeting was the presence, in an official capacity, of women. This is the first time in the history of the organization of either the old parties that women occupied seats in the official sessions of the Republican National Committee. They were admitted to the inner councils of the party on proxies and enjoyed all rights of regular members. The action is taken to mean that women will be urged to take an active part in every branch of national Republican politics. The women were Mrs. Josephine Corliss Preston of Washington, who held the proxy of S.A. Perkins, national committeemen from that state, and Miss Mary Garrettt Hay of New York, who held the proxy of the national committeeman from North Dakota. The proceedings in their entirety indicated clearly and conclusively a purpose to push and pursue a forward looking, forward stepping campaign that would appeal to the American people and thus insure a restoration of the Republican party to power. Naturally the sudden, almost tragic death of Theodore Roosevelt was uppermost in the minds of all. Chairman Hays alluded feelingly to the party's loss and the country's loss in submitting his report, and voiced the sentiment of that committee in declaring that "It is difficult to discuss the death of Theodore Roosevelt. The ideals for which he spent his life shall not fail. The banner that Theodore Roosevelt carried shall not trail for a moment. The lesson of his patriotism shall not be for gotten." MEMORIAL FOR ROOSEVELT By a unanimous vote the committee undertook to sponsor a permanent Roosevelt memorial. The resolution passed provides that the Chairman of the Republican National Committee shall appoint a nationwide committee for this purpose made up of members of the committee or otherwise, who will act with Col., Williaf Boyce Thompson of New York, who has been designated as chairman of the special committee, in developing and carrying out the idea. Neither the nature nor the extent of the memorial will be determined until the special committee is appointed and has given thought to the matter, but iit was the general impression of the meeting in Chicago that it should be of a nature calculated to encourage the advancement of the Roosevelt ideals and the perpetuity of the broad principles of Americanism and national welfare to which he devoted his life. It is the desire of the Republican National Committee that citizens everywhere freely make suggestions in this regard, addressing their communications of Col. William Boyce Thompson, 1 Madisan avenue, New York or to the Republican National Committee. The afternoon session of the Committee was open to the public and took the form of a Roosevelt memorial meeting. MEMORIAL DAY, FEB 9TH It was the unanimous sense of the meeting that a day be set apart throughout the nation for the holding of memorial exercises in honor of the life and deeds of Col. Roosevelt. This date has been fixed as Feb. 9. The exercises are to be non partisan in their character and auspices. All civic and public bodies are requested to join the Republican organizations in each community in arranging for these exercises . TRUE REPUBLICAN PRINCIPLES Governor Beeckham said the declarations and doctrines of Lincoln and Roosevelt combined to form the principles for which the Republican party stood and for which it would wage its next campaign. The following resolution was unanimously adopted: "The Republican National Committee in meeting assembled in Chicago , January 10th, reiterates its belief in the necessity for the enfranchisement of the women of America, and therefore calls upon the United States Senate for the immediate passage of the Federal suffrage amendment, and further calls upon all Republican legislatures to stand ready toratify the amendment when presented."

Parody IF THEY ONLY BUILD THE CANNING FACTORY HERE My thot's are often turning to a place of great renown It is a place you all know well, our dear old Dexter town, And now my heart is yearning, for a band that will not roast But for a band that has the zip to get right out and boost CHORUS If water works were placed in dear old Dexter, If the town was lighted by electric lamps. Then those who came from afar to visit Dexter, Would not say that "this town it gives me cramps" If the soldiers monument was placed near the school house, For our dear old town we would never shed a tear, The young men, from the cities would be staid, By a charming Dexter maid To raise sweet corn for the canning factory HERE. Contributed There should be no faction in our little city. There should be a mutual interest in the property of our people. When we see indifference to the well being of its citizens, we see a town all wise men shun. Success and failure are each a part of life and often those who have made the hardest fight are vanquished in the race. SALE DATES CLAIMED Feb 5th- C.E. Nolte, east of Dexter Feb. 7, O.S.
