Miss V. b., Peekskill, y. Y.-The Ulster
County Gazette, of which you say you have
a copy, is quite likely fac-simile. If such
a paper really ever had an existence no copy
of such an original has ever been seen by
the writer. There have been numerous issues
of such a sheet and many persons who have
found themselves in possession Of one of
these have felt positive that il was genuine
original issue; but upon comparison of the
paper upon which it was printed with paper
made in that period it was demonstrated that
the Gazette was printed on paper made
many years after the date il bore, and was,
therefore, a fraud. But even if the paper
did exist, and the copy was undoubtedly
genuine, its value would be scarcely more
than dollar. Many pamphlets o: that time
that give details of Washington 5 death and
burial, and which are exceedingly rare, bring
but little more than that price. Only an
examination would disclose whether your

A woman at Lindsborg can buy no
more sugar for canning until she
can explain to the Food Administra-
ton what she did with forty pounds
she bought, supposedly for that pur-
pose.
Local Food Administrator Reed Of
Lindsborg has returned ten pounds
taken from her to the trade.
A United States secret service OPP
erative sent out by Fred M. Tate Of
the U. S. service in Kansas City, took
the ten pounds from the woman.
She had purchased twenty-five
pounds at Lindsborg and then drove
to another store at Mcpherson, where
she bought twenty-five pounds more.
At the end Of the week these certifi-
Gates were mailed to the Food Ad-
ministrator in Wichita. An inspec-
ton of the certificates showed the
woman had made two purchases with
out getting a permit for the second
purchase.
Then the secret service man was
sent out. The woman had ten pounds
left and said she used the other forty
pounds for canning. She could not
produce the fruit so used. Then the
secret service operative requisitioned
the ten pounds.
There is sugar to he had for can
ming of fruit, but it must be used
sparingly. The Food Administration
says that is why such regulations are
enforced against persons who do not
play the game square.

NEWSPAPER CASUALTY LIST

Each week the newspaper casualty
list is growing. The smaller papers
are falling by the wayside, the edi-
tors having gone to war or printers
being so scarce that help could not be
secured. The newspaper business
has suffered greatly as result of the
war, yet as a class, none are more
ready to do the work asked of them.
With our paper curtailed, the in
crease in the cost of all grades of
paper, the increase in wages, and sup
plies, the profits have dwindled alarm
ingly, yet each week the average
paper willingly devotes from two to
six columns to the war activities.
The public should take notice of these
things and help their papers in every
way possible. The prompt payment
of subscriptions, printing bills, ETC.,
the prompt turning in of news ar
ticles and ad copy, will help in a
great measure and the Democrat
feels that it is not asking too much
to request that patrons do this when
possible.

it is officially reported that Lieut.

Two weeks previous to the above
message, the McMeel family received
letter from Demands Colonel, adj
vising that he was killed in action on
the 18th, so it will be readily seen
why the latter message came as
good news, even tho it contained the
information that he was seriously
wounded.
This is the second time he has been
wounded in action, the first time be-
ing in April when he was gassed, and
all Meade county hopes for his early
and complete recovery.-Meade

CASHIER OF TYRONE BANK

Glenn Sampson, who has been with
the Farmers State Bank for some
time as assistant cashier, has been
promoted to cashier to fill the vacan-
cy caused by the resignation of o.
d. Bush.
Mr.. Sampson, though young man,
is old in the banking business and
we predict that the patrons will have
no cause for complaint. He is hard
worker, steady and accommodating,
having the qualifications that are
necessary for a successful banker.
We believe the choice of the direc-
tors was a wise one and that the
bank will continue to flourish under
his management-Tyrone Observer.
