NOVEMBER 11TH IS ARMISTICE DAY. (From the Washington Correspondent of The Jeffersonian) If the life of every dollar bill circulated in the United States can be prolonged two months, the Government will annually save $1,666,000, according to Secretary of the Treasury Mellon. He continued: "During the last three years an unprecedented demand has developed for paper currency of the smaller denominations. This is partiularly true of one-dollar notes, which are being used in increasingly large numbers. In order to supply the demand and meet redemption of unfit and mutilated dollar bills, it is necessary to print and put into circulation 48,000,000 of these bills monthly. "A note which is thus rushed through the process of manufacture becomes unfit for circulation within seven or eight months of issue, whereas notes which have been given a reasonable period of seasoning will continue in'circulation from ten to eleven months." Mellon said that bankers are constantly complaining of the poor quality of the paper money. The Treasury intends to build up a reserve supply of currency. ---------o--------- COUNTY BOARD OF EDUCATION TO TAKE SCHOOL. CENSUS.

Service Trucks are designed with a thorough understanding of truck-operating conditions. They are built to do the work you will require of them with the minimum of attention or care. They are designed for continuous service under the most exacting conditions. All the valuable features of truck design that our twelve years of specialization in truck-building have developed are embodied in the Service Trucks of today. Experimental construction is rigidly excluded until it is unquestionably perfected and proved. Service Trucks, while not the highest priced trucks made, are not sold at a low price. If they were, they could not be good, but they are positively the lowest price and cheapest truck in the end, by reason of their long life, comparatively light upkeep expense and reasonable price on repair parts, and their ability to give the greatest ton mileage for the leas* cost.
