Cuday, the expert compositor with the lat-

the kind the News is having installed--
sits on a stool in front of his complicat-

board commands a range of five hundred

But, for a few days, while effecting the
change, the News will have to fall back
on the Caxton method of hand set type.
It will be a novel newspaper. It will
have all the local stories and the news
of the world, as usual, but compressed
into tabloid form.
