EXTRA NEWSPAPER SERVICE.
The News Sent Extra Papers to Greg
DRY County Readers.

Probably no newspaper in the United
States can point to the special service
with the aim of providing its sub.
sCribers with the very latest news,
that is rendered at times by The
News. On Saturday afternoon AS
sociated Press dispatches brought
word of the appointment by President
Taft of Thomas c. Burns as register
and Oliver c. KippenbroCk as receiver
of the Gregory land office. The News
issued enough extra papers of the
evening edition to send to its sub
sCribers in Gregory county, giving
them the news as quickly as train
service would permit No other paper
probably was ever known to go to
such limits in effort and expense to
protect its readers on late news of
interest The same sort of service, of
course, was rendered at election time,
when Taft was nominated and in the
Thaw trial verdict
