years. It was the flrat paper in this vicinity to add a standard linotype to its mechanical equipment, and today It has one of tfhe best equipped news and Job offices In this section of the state. It employs three experienced men in Its mechanical department regularly and enjoys the well-earned reputation of turning out a superior class of Job printing and very neatly set advertisements. For the past seven years It has occupied Its own building, and its well appointed and neatly kept office Is a" source of pleasing comment by commercial salesmen and visiting newspaper men. Today The Democrat goes Into a large majority of the homes of Jasper county and hundreds of former residents look forward with pleasure to its semi-weekly visits in the several states they have cast their lot since leaving “old Jasper." While it is a source of pleasing satisfaction to note the success that has attended our efforts to publish a clean, reliable and newsy county paper, it has taken lots of hard work to do this, and when we see the much greater financial success that has crowned the efforts of many others in different lines we feel that we might have accumulated more dollars with perhaps a great deal less hard work and mental strain in something else, for the country newspaper game does not bring the financial returns that It should.

However, we are very thankful that we have not dropped by the wayside and we appreciate the patronage extended, especially that of the hundreds of staunch friends who have stayed with us during all these years. They have been real friends and were such at a time when their patronage meant much more to us than It did in later years. We hope to continue to merit their good will and continued patronage in the future, as well as that of many new friends and patrons, assuring all a square deal so long as we remain at the helm of The Democrat.

"LIBERTY FUEL" IS A FAILURE

Now comes the announcement that the so-called "liberty fuel” is a failure; at least it Is stated that it is'not a marvelous invention- at all. It is said to be nothing more than a benzo compound, not cheap and no more satisfactory than any of the commercial gasoline used for fuel. It will be recalled that the papers were full of comments concerning the "new fuel.” That is, there was all manner of press agent' stuff concerning it, and many were led to believe that something wonderful In the way of a fuel had been discovered or worked out. The report of the government now shows that It is a delusion. —Pulaski County Democrat.
