The board of pardons finally recommended commutation of the death sentence E.O life imprisonment. Eyler, his attorney endeavored to show at his trial, was under the influence of liquor when he rushed into the hotel, broke off an iron pump handle, and struck Miller over the head with the weapon wixh such force that he died the following Eyl-21- had never seen Miller before but became enraged when he heard that Miller was oifending a relative of Eyler's. The latter captured the same evening while traveling toward his home near Emmilsbtirg. Raymond P. Topper, district a'ctor- who said that und-sr, no conditions would ho approve any movement made to free the prisoner.

In 1915 anc in 1916 negotiations headed by Rev. Kenn-scn M. Craig, former minister at Emmitsburg, were started to place the case of Eyler before the Board of Pardons and have him re- leased. They failed. It is not likely I that the attempts of Eyler's supporters' will meet with success.

One Man Discs 27-Acres a Day with die New Discing is rapidly and economically done with the new Moline-Universal Tractor, 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 docs not pack the soil 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 attaches 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 ersal does as good work as two men with the average tractor. The Moline-Universal is adapted for all classes of farm work. Its high clearance, inches, makes it ideal for cultivating, and it is equally well planting and harvesting. In it has ample power for belt Vvork, pulling a 24-inch grain separator or 16-inch ensilage cutter with case. There is work on the farm every in the year fof the Moline-Uni- "vers'al 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 tsrobicni. Tlfe detailed construction of the new Moline-Universal, Model is the best it is possible to manufacture. Perfected 4-cylindcr ci head-valve engine, electric starting and lighting system, complete enclosure of all working parts, fifteen Hyatt roller bearings, are a few of the main features. We invite you to examine this machine at your earliest opportunity.
