man who fails to grasp the necessity
of trucks in his business is standing
in his own light They come in all
sizes and 1t may be truthfully said
that there is truck for every pur-
pose. The farmer needs them as well
as the merchant.

really implanted 1t will mean that bet

good roads from here to Fiomaton and
regular truck lines established the
price OF farm lands will increase and
the entire county will be greatly bene-
fitted.
Ship BY Truck is the slogan this
week. Real boosters will shout its
many advantages and it is hoped that
the entire citizenship will heed. See
the parade next Friday. Cheer the
automobile dealers who take part and
remember that 1t is time to move for

A YOUTHFUL SOLDIER.

One of the most interesting MARIA
tives of the Revolutionary War is
that of John Shreve who enlisted at
the age Of thirteen and fought through
six years of the war, except for a
few months leave to attend school,
and very short absence from his regi-
ment when he was stricken with fever.
John was one of those lucky boys who
was always there when it happened"
no matter what was going on. He was
sent on many lonely expeditions to
watch for the coming of the British
troops. He was one of the guard de-
tailed to accompany Andre, the young
British spy (whose graceful person
and marvellous courage the young
guard admired extravagantly) to exc
cution.
John spent the memorable winter
with Washington at Valley Forge,
where ''the soldierly bearing, bravery,
and intelligence of this boy then only
fourteen years Old" to quote -histo-
rian, shown in the different scouting
expeditions sent out under his COM
mand, SO won the admiration of a
number of ladies then visiting the ar
my, that with the appreciation of Gen.
eral Washington, they presented him
with an exceedingly valuable buckle
set with precious stones for his sword
belt"
Nor was John Shreve the very
youngest soldier, for in describing the
attack on Quebec when he was still
but thirteen, he mentions a comrade
in arms, Samuel Shute; "A little
younger than t. making Samuel a
