Sisters Meet First Time in 56 Years Mrs. Emily Barnes, 83, who resides on East Hermosa, returned a few days ago from Wichita, where she visited her sister, Mrs.

Christina Iverson, 78, first time the two had met in 56 years. This was in Jamestown, Kas. in 1892, which is still the home of Mrs. Iverson. The sisters came with their parents from Copenhagen, Denmark in 1880 and resided on a farm near Concordia, Kas.

Later the elder sister married Dr. Christian, a prominent physician and accompanied him and other members of the family to a homestead east of Manitou. He died in 1905. For many years later she resided. in Manitou where she was married to Marion Barnes, one of the founders of the town of Manitou.

Men are required to register within five days after they become 18 years of age. Thus far but one has been inducted from this county, Jefferson Manning, son of Edgar and Ella Manning, route 1, Tipton.

He left here November 23 and is now the 5th armored division at Camp, His Chaffee, number near is Fort 34-73-24. Smith, The 34 stands for the state, Baxter Fry explained; the 73 for the county, and the 24 for the order in which he stood in the year 1923 when born. That one of the 23 men born earlier that year than Manning was not selected is due to failure to pass the physical tests or an appeal for deferment. Most of those failing to pass the physical test are men who were not able to pass when they were examined for service in world war II. Every draftee must serve a basic 21 months.

At the end of that period if he does not choose to remain in the army he must either enlist in the national guard for three years or in the organized reserves for five years.

Fred Has Historical Wide Cite Society Unlike most community papers the Frederick Press comes "foreign" or out-of-thecounty subscribers despite the fact that there may be little or no profit in them. Much of the matter in the Press is historical and especially interesting to people who once resided here. Occasionally we can also be of service in furnishing information which would otherwise be difficult to obtain. For example our valued Sanford correspondent in her letter found in this issue says: "The Frederick Press reaches a long way. Mrs.

Edgar Haynes received a letter from Mrs. Audie Nichols of 505 E. Washington, Santa Ana, saying she had read in the Press about the club meeting with Mrs. Haynes. She wanted to know if any one in the Good Neighbors club knew where Hixie Milner, resident of this community some 30 years ago now resides.

She and Dixie were schoolmates at one time. The ter Mrs. John Milner at Brownfield, Texas, sister-inlaw of Hixie; 'she should have an answer by this time giving her Why Out-of-County Subscriptions Cost More It costs more to handle these "foreign" subscriptions. Hence we are compelled to charge more. Foreign subscriptions, most of which require a separate wrapper and additional postage, are $3 a year, plus six cents sales tax.

This is one dollar plus sales tax higher than for subscriptions in the county. Occasionally a person residing elsewhere sends but $2.04 for renewal. This does not pay for year but only for eight months. If some of our subscribers fail to have their expiration date vanced a year the reason is probably that they have not paid for a full year. The subscription price for the Press is printed in each issue.

For the benefit of a few of our readers who have asked the price we repeat: One year in the county, $2 plus four cents sales tax; one year outside the county $3 year, plus six cents sales tax. Some Have Been Reading Our Paper Many Years Hundreds of our subscribers renew like clockwork and it is this class that makes it a pleasure to serve them. The less time and expense it takes to handle these renewals the more time we have for getting out a better newspaper. Included among those who have renewed, some by letter and some by a personal call, since our last issue include Mrs. E.

E. Oaks, 1017 Husband street, Stillwater. Mr. and Mrs. Oaks resided southwest of Frederick for many years until their removal to Stillwater where they went to enable their children to attend college.

Since that time all the children have been graduated and are now holding responsible positions in various parts of the nation. Mr. Oaks died a few years ago. Mrs. Oaks owns their old homestead, one of the best farms in the county.
