and for daily table use. OF these he
sold 10 crates at $500 per crate and
20 crates at $3.50, making the gross

SIGH FOR GOOD OLD TIMES"
Wearisome Members Of Used-to-Be
Club at Washington.

This is the time of the year, when
the lean-shanked cling to the covers

steam when it hits the chests of the
full-blooded, that all the members of
the Used-to-Be club come out of hid

met one of them-a newspaper man,
too--on the street the other day. He
bemoaned the fact that we never have
skating any more. According to his
highly veracious remarks the Potomac
river used to freeze about the 1st of
August and stay frozen until the 1st
youthful days to skate from Washing
ton to Alexandria or Marshall Hall or
Indian Head, right out in the middle
of the channel Honestly, it was.
Why, he used to do it pretty nearly
every day. between lunch and dinner.
Honestly, he did. But nowadays there
never is any ice The river never
freezes and skates are a drug on the
market. These are bum times Hon
estly, they are!
That's the line of talk that is being
handed out these sunny days, and it
is enough to make a normal-minded
man tired enough to sleep for three
days without turning over. This, how
ever, is only one feature of the activ-
tiles of the UsedtoBe club. There are
other members who wall over the pass
ing of everything from the recipe for
that famous time-fused colonial punch
to the numbering stage coach which
preceded the present methods Of rapid
transit.
But what's the use? Anything in
human guise that doesn't consider
these times of airships and open
plumbing just the best old times that
ever prevailed since the world began
ought to go home and take a large, !
glazed pill. His liver is on strike

ON PUBLIC PRINTING

Guthrie, Feb 10-By establishing the
office of state printer and throwing safe
guards about all public printing required
by the state, Oklahoma saved enough
money on one item the past year to meet
the total expense of the state printer
more. than two and one-haf times over
This item was the printing of the ballots
used in the last election Although the
ballots and supplies required for the first
state election last November were twenty
per cent larger than those used in the
proceeding territorial election when state
officials were chosen. the cost was $9,741
less. State Printer c. c. Worral shows in
his annual report that the actual saving
in public printing as shown by vouchers
of the old territorial days, runs from
twenty to five hundred per cent. At the
beginning of statehood experts estimated
that the cost of outfitting the forty de-
partments of state government would
cost from 100000 to $125000. The
accounts approved by the st ate printing
board up to October 81, 1908, amounted
S33,493.39. The total expense of the
state printer office amounted to but
S3,93765.

when it came to landing votes.
Very few citizens of any standing voted
in the negative and the impression pre-
vailed that the opposition came from
ignorance or prejudice in nearly every
instance. About 80 per cent Of the total
vote of the city was polled
