Three Big Reasons for
C Truck
Buying a GM
"""I I
mm
EURST GMC Trucks are in six sizes ranging
" from to 5 tons capacity, one size better
"f fitted than the rest for certain work. One of these
J six will fit your business. Maximum work at minimum
cost is yours with this right-sized truck. s
Second In the thousands of
GMC users youhaveyour proof
that the GMC Truck is depend
able and strong, able to stand
up in hardest service. Nothing
you could say would carry the
weight of statements from these
disinterested parties. We ask
you to determine GMC superi
ority yourself.
Third With a GMC, your
truck's performance is backed
by an organization sound,
staple, strong. You are assured
co-operation and aid through
out your truck's service.
These three vital angles you
should analyze carefully in buy
ing your truck. When you do
we believe you will be forced to
select GMC. May we give you
a demonstration today?

I Cost of County (Jovoriinicnl.
I State Auditor Smith has Issued a

government In each county in tho

prised at the dlrferenco in tho, various,
counties. For Instance In Adorns coun
ty the cost Is $3.92 per capita while in'
, Cheyenne it is $12.35, in Deuel $15.33
and In Hooker $17.64.' In Lincoln
'county It is $G.ll per capita. This is
(a little below the average, taking nil i
the counties throughout tho state. As
n rule the cost In the sparsely settled
counties is much greater than in the,
densely populated, nnd for thiH reason
the showing mndo by Lincoln, county
Is nil the better. The expense of
schools is not figured in theost,

WH EN MART DeLMtl ESTIVA S
KEITH COUNTY SHEIUEF.
Mart DePriest, sheriff of Keith coun
ty so long ago that most people have
forgotten the tlnte, was In Big Springs
last weok, visiting relatives and
friends. He has been over on a Kin
kald in Arthur county for the pastjjfpw
years.
Mart was helping to introduce tho
law Into this country at tho time
Ogallala was tho end of the old Texas
cattle trail. Those were llvoly days, nt
times. Tho cowgoys took special de
light in shooting tho old wooden rail
road water tank full of holes, letting
tho water out. This led Jim Hughes,
sheriff at the time, Into killing a cow
puncher who refused to Hooverizo the
sport. Next season, Texas Pete rode
into Ogallala from tho camp south of
tho river, looking for tho man who hail
shot his pardner the year before,
Hughes was out of town and DePriest
had taken hlB place. Without much
ceremony Peto shoots DePriest thru
tho calf of the leg and immediately
starts for camp, unlimbering all Ids
artillery on tho way. Mart sends for
his horse and Winchester and takes
up tho pursuit. After having a horse
shot from under him, Texas Pete
threw up his hands.
Probably the closest call Mart ever
had was during a storm. He wns over
in the hills, north of the North river,
hunting deer, when .a. soylden snow
storm came up and Mart lost his way.
After taking shelter In a blowaut. he
found his way next day to the old Key
stone ranch, his feet and legs were
frozen solid, but he didn't know it. Tho
boys at tho ranch packed his In snow
and worked with him, saving his feet.
Tho old boy has had a good many
close calls, but no one ever caught tho
6lgn of fear creeping over his face.

When you see and hear the

asked to make comparison of
some vague, intangible simi
larities. You will find it un
mistakably different in re
sults, different in tone; a
tone that is life. Plays all
makes of records. No need
les to change. The Pathe
Sapphire Ball has made the
Pathephone internationally
famous for tone. '
