No Woolen for Civilian
Trade Latest Orders
The entire new crop of wool will go to the soldiers
and the mills making goods for other than the govern
ment must use shoddy or cotton.
The point is this If you want to buy all wool
clothes, don't delay but place your order at once while
I have a complete stock of woolens. , '
I still have a large stock of woolen goods bought be
fore the advance in prices. Order now while you can get
all wool clothes for less than inferior: ones. . .

"OTH TRACTOR VklMO IMPLBMBNT
Iff3
One Man Discs 27 Acres a Day with the New
; Discing is rapidly and economically
done with the new Moline-Universal
Tractor, Model D, one man with an
8-foot tandem disc harrow covering
27 acres in ten hours. With a 10-foot -
' disc harrow he covers 38 acres, and
with a 20-foot peg-tooth harrow 76
acres. ..
The light weight of the Moline
Universal Tractor, 3,380 pounds,
makes it especially adapted for disc
ing and similar work, as it does not
pack the soil and uses but little fuel, '
running on less than half throttle
most of the time. It is light, but
more than enough power to pull two
' 14-inch plows at high speed, all its
weight being traction weight.
The Moline-Universal Tractor at-
; laches directly to the implement and
forms a single, compact unit with it
that is controlled by the operator
from the seat of . the implement,'
where he must sit to do good work.
. One man with the Moline-Universal
does as good work as two men with
the average tractor.
The Moline-Universal is adapted
for all classes of farm work. Its high
(ONfltMAM QPcnATCS . BOTH
clearance, 29?Z inches, makes it ideal
for cultivating, and it is equally well
fitted for planting and harvesting. In
addition, it has ample power ior belt
work, pulling a 24-inch grain separa
tor or .16-inch ensilage cutter with
ease.
: There is work on the farm every
cay in the year for the Moline-Universal
Tractor. It will do every field
operation that can be done with
horses and do it better, faster, and
cheaper. This is why the Moline
Universal really replaces horses, and,
at the same time, by enabling one
man to do much more work than
ever before possible, solves the farm
help problem.
The detailed construction of the
new Moline-Universal, Model D. is
the best it is possible to manufacture.
Perfected 4-cylinder overhead-valve
engine, electric starting and lighting
system, complete enclosure of all
working parts. and fifteen Hyatt roll
er bearings, are a few of the main
features.
We invite you to examine this ma
chine at your earliest opportunity.

HARDER JOB
Salem Man Is Made Division
al Secretary for Y. EL C
A b France
One of the busiest men In France
Is James Elvin, who before he left
for overseas duty was- pastor of the
First Congregational church of Sa
lem. , He has been promoted to a
divisional directorship with the war
Y. M. C. A. organization and has
charge of a large scope of territory
which be scurries over In an auto
mobile. He tells an interesting story
of his work In a letter written to
Miss Cora Talkington. His letter fol
lows in part:
"It seems almost impossible for
me to realize that I have been away
from beautiful Salem for more than
six months. But every day since I
left home has been fairly jamed full
of Interest and I am busier now than
I have been In my life. If yon and
my good friends are not getting
many letters you may be sure It is
because I have no time to write.
"Ton will be glad to know that
since my last letter to yon I have
heen promoted and I am now hold
ing down a very responsible posiiton
with fourteen places to look after. I
am now a divisional secretary in a
district forty miles long by thirty
miles wide. I was one of the first
Americans here, arriving early In
March, and have grown up with the
camp and organized the whole dis
trict myself, t
"You might be Interested In learn
ing how we organize a district. Well,
we blew Into camp one day and had
an Interview with the commanding
officer who gave us a cordial welcome-
A room was placed at our
disposal and the first Job was to
put In tables, benches, ink wells,
pens.ink. paper, envelopes and cards,
rhen after this was done we secured
a piano, phonograph and games. A
small canteen with a few articles
was opened and soon the little Y
was in full swing. Then we search
ed'the town for a convenient location
for a Y In the town. We were for
tunate in securing an old cafe and
gambling den that had been closed
for two years. We soon had this
joint thoroughly cleaned and newly
painted and papered and opened this
placefor the soldiers. On Saturdays
and Sundays now it Is so crowded It
Is almost impossible to enter. Down
stairs ra the canteen. Ice cream and
lemonade counters with a dandy
phonograph and two billiard tables.
Upstairs Is the reading and writing
room and when the entire place is
crowded to the doors as it often Is
I am very happy with my big family.
The next move was to get out Into
the villages where the men are bil
leted. . It was somewhat difficult to
get the right sort of places but In
these small villages we found balls,
one an old store house the .other two
parts ef drinking rooms. .We went
right after these, had them thorough
ly cleaned and put In our little stock
of supplies and benches, chairs, ta
bles, writing materials, libraries and
have done the best we could with
them. My next problem was to find
three places in an altogether differ
ent direction. In one place I hired
an entire cafe and fitted it up and
it has made a splendid place for a Y.
"In another place away in tht
country In an Isolated spot where the
men were billeted In a glass covered
conservatory fand the officers In a
chateau all owned by an American
actress In New York. In this place
we found a spot for 'our Y In a wood
shed and as I drove Into this lonely
place It was cheering Indeed to read
as one entered the grounds the sign
Y. M. C A. nailed on a stake driven
Into the ground. Then we went In
to a large town and were fortunate
in securing a building formerly used
as a postofflce with llrht. larr
rooms. We soon had this clare
equipped and readr for business and
it was wonderful to see how the sol-
aiers swarmed Into It
"Next I turned my attention to an
old, old town and on the main street
iouna a little store with a larre and
airy basement. We soon had our
canteen established upstairs and the
oasement was soon transformed Into
a reading and writing room and yon
will be glad to know that 20 mlnntoa
after the basement was equipped the
tables were full of men writing home
We put a moving picture machine In
mis piace and we have also riven
some excellent concerts.
Then I turned my attention In
another direction and In a llttt town
lonely and strange I managed to rent
a notorious dance hall. Thi.

vancing to another town we found
the men all billeted In a large stone
mill hundreds of years old. The

established our location and on the
wan or the mill tacked in a most
conspicuous place Is the.Y. M. n - A
sign and It has been wonderful In
deed to see the appreciation of the
men In this place. It would be Im
possible for me to describe all the
heartbreaking experiences organizing
these places, the lack of transporta
tion, the struggle for supplies, the
negotiations carried on with the
French people who know no Eng
lish. But persistency won out and
the disrlct was reorganized. For t
weeks I carried it on all alone un
able to get any help except the splen-
mu neip or me soldiers who assisted
uie in every possible way. Night
after night I went to my room so

"Now the district has grown ao
that In my home base my old gam
bling Joint has become too small. In
front of this place is a large public
square In the very heart or the town
la a place where the soldiers always
are found. I made up my mind that
the only thing to do was to go be
fore the mayor of the town and the
own council and put on my best
face and ask for the use of the
square. 'Of course the proposal took
away their breath and like gooa
Frenchmen they asked for lime ior
much deliberation for such a strange
nronosal.' To my astonishent and
delight they granted me the use of
the whole place. I Immediately got
busy to erect a building with an
conveniences, concert "hall, canteen.
reading and writting room, building
that would take care of thousands of
men. " Now the lumber Is all on the
square, the floor Is laid aad a detail

the camp Is rapidly constructing my
big hut and I keep the all rood na
tured by filling them up with lemon
ade and Ice cream. The day we ded-
caTe will be one of the biggest days
the town ever saw. When we move
Into our new hut I'll have my gamb
ling Joint thoroughly renovated
again and cosily fitted up with all
conveniences for an officers club
room. I am looklnr around now for
another large building to use as a
warehouse. My business has grown
so that It Is necessary now to ship
my canteen supplies In car load lots
from Fans. I now have three sec
retaries In my care, also an athletic
director snd an entertainment direc
tor for the entire district. I have
a Ford car of my own now and day
after day I fly over my territory like
a madman, but I can sure cover the
ground In my ear.
