THE STANDARDS WORK ROOMS.

1t isn't so very long ago-less than
nine years-when a simple old-fash-
Toned, drum cylinder press printed the
daily editions Of the Standard. 1t was
modest little machine. excellent of its
kind and neat in its work. and for
time II answered fairly well, although.
from the day Of its birth the Standard
was a pretty pretentious newspaper
1t was, at least. by odds the most am
bilious publication in this part of the
world, and its mechanical plant was
that of good daily newspaper Bur
even from the very first this press was
hardly up TO what was wanted. The
standard was a six-column eight-page
paper. For the cutting at the top and
the folding and FASTING of the pages a
patent folding machine was attached To
the press. This folder, in turn. was
well enough in its way. but the Stand
ard soon became far too swift for f.
anaconda was small enough when the
Standard started-in a newspaper
sense, it was not an eight page town.

observers. who had seen newspapers
come and go, the Standard was alto

were enlarged, the building for the
home office was more than doubled in

was not in use in any Northwest news

mark of the phenomenal machine fur
nished by Hoe a co. However, time
demonstrated the wisdom Of the ven
ture; the growth in the Standards cir
culation soon made essential the serV-
ices OF the new press.
For years 10 come, under ordinary
conditions this splendid press would
have met all demands upon the Stand

for the heavy increase in advertising
that accompanied the Standards con-
slant growth in circulation. This in

BLUEGRASS Is. d T.. Alt looks
like the stockholders of the assign
ed Bluegrass Building and Loan
Association, of Lexington, will
suffer nearly a total loss owing to
the muddle and row over the Asso-
ciation's affairs. A meeting of the
stockholders was held at Lexington
last Saturday. After a stormy
scene, during which Chas. ii. Stoll
came near having a fight with Col.
John r. Allen, attorney for Assignee
Bishop Clay, the stockholders by a
large majority elected an entirely
new set of directors, who will try
to have the affairs put in receivers S
hands by Judge Barr's Court. 1t is
said that the stock has fallen in
the last few days from As cents on
the dollar to less than % cents.
Before the Appellate Courts decis-
ion against Building and Loan
companies the Bluegrass stock was
held high and couldn't have been
bought at par. There are several
stockholders in this town. Some of
the members who couldn't have
well stood the loss got out in time
to save themselves. There are
thousands of hardworking poor
people who have lost their savings
of years by the failure of the asso-
citations since the Courts decision.

TOBACCO REPORT. - EXPRESSLY
foR The OUTLOOK BY j. S. PHELPS d
Co., PLANTERS WAREHoUsE.--Lou-
Isville, KY, Feb. 10, lS9S.-The total
offerings for the week ending today
were 4 4,I5S hhds. OF these 3,446
hhds. were Burley. The total re.
ceipts for the same time we're 2, l09
hhds., against 6,726 hhds. for the
same week last year. We had a
good. strong, active market for all
Egrades of useful tobacco. The
bright lugs, fyings and trashes
when in good condition showed a
decided improvement over prices
Lthat ruled last week and the week
before. All useful, heavy bodied
tobacco, from common tips at $3.50
TO good leaf at $l7, was in strong
demand. On Thursday we thought
the bidding was less active on the
crops showing green, but on Friday
Eit seemed as spirited as it has been
et any time in the past few weeks.
The quality of the offerings this
week was below that of the past
two, very few hhds. that could be
classed as fine appearing. Our no.
tion is that the offerings from now
on will contain a much smaller pro-
portion of good and fine leaf.
The offerings of Old Burley were
very small and largely confined to
the common grades selling below
$S. These sorts met with fair COM
petition and brought about the
same prices they did last week.
But we do not think they sold as
high as they did the week before.
The few hhds. of good, sweet old
tobacco that were offered did fairly
we'll, but are still much below the
views of holders, and are certainly
selling lower than the same grades
of New tobacco. Neither of the
buyers for the two large factories
are bidders on the better grades of
old.
The offerings Of Dark at auction
have been very small. Prices for
all good, rich leaf and lugs have
been fairly satisfactory. The long
and extra long leaf, in both Old
and New, suitable for rehandling
continue to bring fair prices. The
common, short, nondescript leaf
and lugs are dull and hard to sell
One or two faIr-sized lots of heavy.
bodied Dark lugs we're disposed OF
privately this week at prices around
1925.
