easily perceive the value of the exploit,
except that it proved our aerial bomb
ers and destroyer gunners are pretty
good marksmen, at least when the tar
get Is stationary and helpless. The
first test was made by a bombing
squadron of the air forces, and the
submarine was speedily sunk. Then
bunch of destroyers charged on two
U-boats, at full speed, and filled them
full of shells in quick time. Other
tests are to follow. OF course, the tar
gets were submarines that once be-
longed to Germany.
Gen. Charles G. Dawes of Chicago
has been persuaded by President Hard
ing to take the place of director of the
new federal budget system and is al
ready on the job. He had an inter-
view with the President and then an
nounced that he would ask a number
of experienced business men to serve
in the budget bureau without pay. The
first of these is William T. Abbott of
Chicago, whom General Dawes invited
W ScINc DIS dSSlSldul ulreCtOT. ne dlSO
requested that Brig. Gen. George
Moseley and Col. Henry Smither be
detailed to help him. Both of them
distinguished themselves in organiza-
tion work during the war.
Mr.. Dawes made some cutting re-
marks about the inadequacy of the
budget legislation. adding: zone might
as well be handed toothpick with
which to tunnel Pixies peak. 1t is evil
dent that if this, the greatest business
crisis which our government has ever
confronted, is to be properly met, chief
reliance will have to be placed upon
something else than the pitiful machin-
cry provided ty law with which to ex-
ercise the wide powers extended to the
budget bureau. / am, therefore, ac-
cepting the position of director of the
budget only with the idea that the pa
triotism of the bureau chiefs and the
country as whole can be aroused in
this emergency that it will be met as
was the emergency Of war four years
ago."

ULSTER GAZETTE
NEWSPAPER FAKE
Thrifty Printer Issued Fac
similes Of New York Pa
per And Coined Money

II there are any persons in Mt. Yer.
non possessing a copy Of the "Ulster
County Gazette" Of January 4, 1900,
and which they believe to be an orig.
fnal copy, they are unfortunately mis-.
taken. 1t is only an imitation.
The imposition Of copies of this
newspaper, with its account Of Wash.
ington's funeral, is one of the most
noted newspaper fakes of the country.
Perennially and usually about this
time copies Of the Ulster County Ca
zette come to light The only other
newspaper imitation of the kind that
compares with 1t is the duplication
Of the vicksburg Citizen printed on
wall paper just at the end of the
seige Of Vicksburg.
IT is really doubtful, II there ia a
genuine copy of the Ulster County Ga.
zette in existence. Authorities declare
they never have seen one among all
the specimns that have been Inhibited.
Wilberforce Eames Of the New
York public library, half a dozen
years ago made the most careful ex.
animation of copies of the Gazette
submitted to him as genuine--even to
the chemical analysis 'of the paper
and has almost come to the conclu-
sion that there never was an original.
At the Library Of Congress they
have &c different editions. The New
York Public Library lists nine in its
latest catalog. The University of
Chicago has three, each different from
the other,

ed, from which all these subsequent
copies have been made. The fact
that the Wisconsin State Historical
Society, which has the largest collec
ton Of old newspapers in the middle
west. lists two copies Of an Ulster
Gazette for August 1s and September
%. 1904, strengthens this belief.
The account OF Washington's funer
al is accurate, and interesting. No
fault can be found on that score, re
ports of the funeral in other papers
of the same time are in several in
stances still more striking.
It may have been that many year.

| KNOX co. FARMERS
WILL NOT BE ASKED
TO GIVE THEIR CORN
County Agent Anderson L.
sues Statement After Can.
uass OF County

County Farm Agent s.. L. Anderson
has received a telegram from the
Ohio Farm Bureau Federation in
which the, members OF the Knox Couu.
ty Farm Bureau and farmers general.
ly are urged to cooperate in giving
100000 bushels of corn for the relief
Of the, starving peoples OF Europe.
The farmers are asked to give IN
per cent Of their crop to make up the
quota Of 100000 pledged by the state
federation. Some doubt is expressed.
however, that a strong response may
be expected, from Knox county. The
statement II made that the farmers
Of this county do not raise a surplus
of corn and what they do raise must
be conserved for their own needs. An
effort was made to devise a list OF 100
men who might be asked to give 10
bushels each. After a careful and
painstaking canvass Of the entire
county the effort was abandoned as
a failure as stsnot, that many could be
found who were known to have more
than sufficient for their own needs.
County Agent Anderson therefore is
strongly reluctant to press the matter
of giving corn for the hungry .of Eu
rope upon the farmers of Knox coun
ty. If any shipments are made they
should be in not less than carload lots
to secure which will require some or.
ganization and effort in the form of q
drive.
