The Automotive Service Company As distributors in this territory for the Service Motors, Inc., Wabash, Ind., manufacturers of Service Trucks. 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 track 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 least cost.

VErnon 4587 MOTOR TRUCKS HISTORY SHOWS THAT SCANDALS AT WASHINGTON ARE AS OLD AS THE UNITED STATES In The Seventies There Was Outbreak As Bad As The Teapot Dome Disclosures—250 Indicted In 1874 For Defrauding Revenue Department. (From the Washington Correspondent, of The Jeffersonian.) Capital scandals are not new. The U. S. had an outbreak of gov-' ernment scandals in the 70's as badi as the Teapot Dome disclosures. •fhe amounts involved weren't as large in dollars and cents, but money wasn't handled in such sums in those days. The equivalent values were as large. The Union Pacific Railroad was building. It had Governmental financial support on a large scale. A company called the Credit Mobilier was formed to do the work and to sell material, equipment and sup plies to the road. The idea was to charge ridiculously high prices; ,to take in payment Union Pacific stock and bonds at prices ridiculously low. The government being interested, it became necessary to "split" the "graft" with numerous officials. When exposure came it was found that these officials included the Vice-President, the speaker of the house, three senators, several representatives and scores of departmental executives in nearly every governmental branch. In 1874 it was discovered that distilleries throughout the West had been defrauding the revenue department systematically of enormous sums. Secretary of the Treasury Bristow was aware of the steal and had been figghting it, but the graft- ers had representativess in every governmental department where they needed influence and laughed at him for a long time. Two hundred and forty indictments followed this exposure, including the chief clerk of the treasury and the private secretary to the President. In 1876, Secretary of War Belknap was caught selling government appointments and signing government contracts at a profit to himself. Impeachment proceedings were begun against him, but before he could be thrown out of the office he resigned. The Star Route scandal came to light in 1881. It related to mail transportation by other than the regular railroad and steamship lines. Much western transportation was by stage then and prices were high. The postoffice department then was shaken to its foundation, the second assistant postmaster general was indicted, one of its own members was tried by the Senate and scores of political careers were blighted for all time.

HEADACHES GONE TIRED NO MORE Gives Credit to Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound. Hopes Other Women Will Benefit by Her Experience Skowhegan, Me.—"I was sick most of the time and could not get around to do my work without being all tired out so I would have to lie down. One day when I was reading the paper I saw the Lydia E. Pinkham's Vegetable Compound advertisement and saw what it did for other women, so I thought I would try it. I have taken three bottles, and cannot begin to tell you what it has already done for me. I do all my work now and keep up the whole day long without lying down.
