“There are no better books for boys than Francis Rolt-Wheeler’s ‘U. S. Service Series.’”—_Chicago Record-Herald._
The hero saves the farm in Kansas, which his father is not able to keep up, through a visit to Washington which results in making the place a kind of temporary experiment station. Wonderful facts of plant and animal life are brought out, and the boy wins a trip around the world with his friend, the agent. This involves many adventures, while exploring the Chinese country for the Bureau of Agriculture.
“Boys will be delighted with this story, which is one that inspires the readers with the ideals of industry, thrift and uprightness of conduct.”—_Argus-Leader, Portland, Me._
The billows surge and thunder through this book, heroism and the gallant facing of peril are wrought into its very fabric, and the Coast Guard has endorsed its accuracy. The stories of the rescue of the engineer trapped on a burning ship, and the pluck of the men who built the Smith’s Point Lighthouse are told so vividly that it is hard to keep from cheering aloud.
“This is an ideal book for boys because it is natural, inspiring, and of unfailing interest from cover to cover.”—_Marine Journal._
How much do you know of the working of the vast and wonderful Post Office Department?

“Stamp collecting, carrier pigeons, aeroplanes, detectives, hold-ups, tales of the Overland trail and the Pony Express, Indians, Buffalo Bill—what boy would not be delighted with a book in which all these fascinating things are to be found?”—_Universalist Leader._
