"Rare Old" Newspapers

IF. WHILE going through an old
L trunk in the attic, you find a
copy of the Ulster County Gazette,
published in Kingston, N. Y, in
1900 and containing an account of
the death of George Washington,
don't get excited and hurry away
to tell the local newspaper publish
er about your discovery"
The chances are about 999, 999 out
of 100000 that it's a fac-simile
copy" of the Gazette of that date
and thousands of them have been
reprinted and distributed as souve-
Mrs. 1t was first done back in 1926
in celebration of the fiftieth anniver-
sary of the Declaration of Independ-
ence but most of them were pro-
duced for the Philadelphia centen-
NAL in 1876.
Naturally, in the course of time
the paper becomes aged and yellow
and brittle. So in that respect it's
"old." But it's neither rare nor
valuable, unless you can find some
one who is buying fake antiques.
Even then he won't give you much
for it.
The only known genuine" copy
of this famous paper is now in the
Library of Congress. All Of the
thousands of others which bob up
from time to time are reprints. An
other Original may be found
some time. But it's very. very

Lord Kitchener's Body

IN AUGUST, 1926. all of England
l. was thrilled by an announcement
which indicated that one Of the mys-
teries of the World war had at last
been solved. This was the mystery
surrounding the death of Lord
Kitchener, first commander of the
British forces in France. A signed
article by Frank Power" which
appeared in the London Referee de-
clared that his body had been dis
covered in graveyard in Norway.
Kitchener had been lost at sea in
May. 1916. when the ship, taking
him 10 Russia on q secret mission,
had disappeared and there had been
all sorts of rumors about the case.
An especially ugly one was that the
government, which had wanted to
get rid Of Kitchener but didn't dare
remove him from office because of
his great popularity with the
masses. had been sent on what it
knew would be fatal trip.
Power" announced that he was
bringing the body back TO London.
When he arrived there with a cof-
fin, il was Immediately seized by
the police. When it was opened in
the presence of high government
officials, If was discovered that the
coffin was not only empty, but that
it had never held body.
The whole affair was publicity
stunt for new moving picture on
the life of Kitchener in which Pow
er," whose real name was Arthur
Vectis Freeman, and others were
interested. Instead of profiting by
it as they had hoped, a government
investigation which was immediate
ly launched and popular indigna-
ton over the hoax, did them con-
siderable damage and discouraged
further publicity stunts Of that kind.

Christmas Ideas Best Ever

Nowadays young man going
into business has a comparatively
easy time of Histories of "start-
ing from scratch" usually come
from the old-timers-who gen.
orally regard the youth of today
as a pretty soft and fortunate
group.
But o. A. Knudson, young Red
wood Falls jeweler, recalls with
some amusement and few
pangs, that he started from
scratch with the best of them ..
and that not so long ago. Four
years, to be exact.
His shop was only counter in
the present IGA store building.
Although the place can definitely
not be rated as auditorium-Size,
it housed a shoe store and tailor
shop as well as Mr.. Knudson's
counter. A..
One of his first investments was
$3.75 for large clock purchased
secondhand from Harry Thomas.
Every time someone ran up the
stairs of the building, the clock
nearly stopped - and so did
"Jack's" heart.
In New Building
That first Christmas he had
only 10 watches in stock. This
year he can show rs different
models to holiday shoppers.
Now established in a shop in
the front of the recently built DR..
N. P. Feigal building on Second
Street, he has a large and varied
stock, in addition to watches.
Here are Knudson's outstanding
stock articles-we offer them as
Christmas gift suggestions:
FOR WOMEN: Haviland or
Bavarian china in lovely patterns
and soft colors to match her Cor
Onation or King Cedric patterns
in Community Plate silver.

Give Us the Responsibility

THE resignation of Commissioner George Il. Allen
became effective last week. yet so far there has been
no indication from the White House as to his successor
It is true the President, occupied in Maryland has
had little time to devote to the affairs of the District
whose 100000 citizens have vote and hence do not
matter, politically.
But to Washingtonians who own their homes pay
taxes and try to be good citizens the question OF the
new Commissioner is vital one.
i The President was furnished last week with the
names of two women and twelve men, nominated by
their fellow citizens as capable and worthy of filling
this high office
From the qualifications of these fourteen residents of
the District it plain to the Chief Executive would

We Always Face post Of course we always
w. o,,4o;dou face the possibility that some
outsider will be brought in to
handle the affairs of ctyaffairs of which the ap-
pontee has little knowledge and cares less.
If the President-and we say this most respectfully
has difficulty in selecting man to take this i'm
porant part in our municipal government, the answer
is in his own hands.
All he has to do is to recommend to the next Congress
that clLlzenS given
the problem will be placed directly in hands;
who are most vitality interested in the problem
If we elect officials who fail in their high trust
will be to blame But if given the rights of other
citizens, will have always, the recourse to the recall
Mr. President appeal to you. Let us take the bur
den from your shoulders. Let us have the right of
suffrage, so long denied Let us manage our own
affairs.

will be found wanting.
