The News , April 27, 1912. Also worthy of note, which I didn't edit out of this clipping: a silly story of the day (the man with the 39-letter last name); a typical example of how ads often looked like news items ("In Camp and Barracks"); and an announcement regarding appointments for what was eventually known as the Langstaff Jail Farm , where minor offenders (and some ill/poor seniors) were shipped to tend land until 1958.
