Someone was asking Chief Iteed
how he happened to discover that the
bootleggers' automobile contained
that keg of whisky. The chief had
denied that his sense of smell fur
nished the clue. "No," he said, "I
didn't smell it. It came as a result
of my boyhood training. When I
was a kid my father and I used to
do a good deal of bee hunting. We'd
sit down in the shade somewhere and
watch for a bee. He'd light near us,
and then finally circle up Into the
air. ' We would follow him, and come
upon a bee tree. Well, the after
noon that the bootleg car was dis
covered, I noticed that the bees were
pretty thick around the police sta
tion. And every one of them head
ed west when they flew away. All
I had to do was to follow them."

the money In his pocket. "With the

said, "I'll have enough to make it."

To the business man, retail or wholesale; to the manufacturer; to the commis
sion man; to the trucking company, the Ford Model T One Ton Truck makes
an irresistible appeal because it has in its chassis all the merits of the original
Ford car; the wonderful Ford Model T Motor, the dependable Vanadium steel
chassis, and the manganese bronze worm-drive. A strongly built truck that
serves satisfactorily and lasts in service If these statements were not true,
the demand for Ford Trucks wouldn't be so constantly on the increase. We
will be pleased to take your order for one or more Ford Trucks, will see that you
get reasonably prompt delivery, and will give you an after service that insures
the constant service of the Truck. But don't wait too long. Get your order
in promptly.
