Various paper-covered magazines, so called, also have been confiscated. Where these came from is not known, but certain stores do not seem to be aware, according to county authorities, that their sale is absolutely prohibited by law. The magazines in question are entirely without merit and evidently written especially to gratify the curiosity of the prudent mind.
