Messages from distant lands

Exploration Stage: Hidden Row
From: Agent Jones
Description: My name is Jones. I came to this city on orders from the command center. I am to receive my mission instructions through messages in the newspaper. There will be a special crossword puzzle for me in the newspaper. Would you like to see it? Why don't you try your hand at it? Yesterday's newspaper is on the stand there. Please look for it.
Completed: As you may have already noticed, this newspaper is not published in this city. And the crossword puzzle in the entertainment section is, what can I say...not for amateurs. Let me tell you how to unravel some of the messages. You read only the second letter of the first word in the question.
