Emerson-Brantingham building in
Market street, Just beyond the Read

exhibitors arrived with their ma
chines and set them up on the spa

from the Tyson Brothers; sheep
from State College; eggs by the
thousand; corn, canned fruits and,
in brief, all the soil products of the
great producing Keystone stato.
Undoubtedly the tractor show will
be of vast importance, following as
it does the tests made here "-some
months ago. Last year but 1,100
tractors were in use. This year it is
expected that 2,2 00 will be hustling

This Is It—
The Wonderful Moline Universal Tractor
The Tractor every farmer is talking about and the one you will eventually buy—why not buy it now?
It is really the only practical Tractor that does all field work that horses will do, including cultivating,
and does it all from the seat of the implement—the only proper way to do good work.

Buy a Moline Tractor Now—Get An Early Delivery
Do not consider the purchase of a tractor from a PRICE standpoint only—you buy a tractor not
because of its price but as a business investment that must replace horses, savejthose hundreds of dollars
of feed bills, save your physical strength, do more work in less time, make your farming a pleasure instead
of a burden. The "MOLINE" is a real profitable investment.

a farmer can buy* one of these
demons of the soil and sell all his
horses with safety.

tractor adjuncts, discs, harrows, etc.
And these additional helpers sound
the death knell of Friend Horse as

Every county in the state is repre
sented and the interest in tractors is
perhaps, the prime one. It has been
proved now that the soil of this state
is particularly fitted for the mechan
ical cultivators, and so all leading
types of machines are on view. The
prices of the clod busters vary from
3850 to 32,000. Some of them look
like the army trench tanks; they are
almost human, seeding and cultivat
ing as well as turning up the sod.

Prince Feisne, of

For King of the Hedjas
By Associated Press
Paris, Jan. 20.—Prince Felsal, a
■on of the King of the Hedjas in
Arabiai Is in Paris awaiting instruc
tions from his father concerning the
appointment of two delegates to rep
resent the Hedjas kingdom at the
peace conference. Colonel Lawrence,
who accompanies the young prince
as aid, expects Faisal himself will
bo chosen as the first delegate of the
kingdom of the Hedjas in order to
give greater weight to the important
propositions to be submitted to the
peace conference.
This proposal will consist of the
formation of a great federation of
all the Arab states from the Red
sea to the Persian gulf free from any
Turkish domination and under the
protection of the United States.
Better Plowing Secures Results
The plow that does more and better plowing is worth more.
The Oliver No. 78 Tractor Plow—built to stand the rough
usage in our eastern . conditions, does better plowing, lasts
longer—is worth mores
Perfect seed bed depends on quality plowing. Oliver plows
have established quality plowing—soil experts are unanimous
in their praise of Oliver plows, knowing that perfect seed bed
preparation is possible only with the use of Oliver plows.
The Oliver Tractor Disc Harrow is an important factor in the
final preparation of your seed bed. It is actually a tractor har
row—built heavy to stand the work you require of it—weight
and special construction of design give you great penetration
in the most difficult conditions.
It will be a pleasure to see you at our exhibit at the Pennsyl
vania State Farm Products Show, Tenth and Market Streets,
January 21, 22, 23 and 24, 1919.
