BOARD OF AFFAIRS
WILL DIRECT WORK
CAPITAL COMMISSIONERS Ar
POINTED BY HASKELL WILL
STEP DOWN AND OUT.

Oklahoma CITY, June 20.-FolloWinS
a letter written by Governor Cruce
several days ago to members of the
state capital commission, asking them
to resign from the commission, so that
the matter Of building the state CAPT
tol could be placed in the hands of
the state board Of affairs, Boone VIII
liams and Tate Brady, members of
the commission, today replied in a
lengthy letter they were ready to turn
the affairs OF the commission over TO
the governor and step down and out
They take issue with the governor,
however, in that the commission
should he abolished and declare the
governor could not actually of his own
authority declare the commission
abolished. The only way it can be
eliminated is for the commissioners TO
resign, which they have agreed to do,
in the interests of harmony"
Brady and Williams in their letter
TO the governor call attention to the
governors position concerning the
commission idea before his inaugura-
ton. in that he was in favor of it
then. The governor in his letter eX-
planned the only reason for placing
the capitol matter in the hands of the
board of affairs and abolishing the
commission would be to save expense.
The commissioners assert that under
the plan advanced by the governor
the expense might be a great deal
more than if the special commission
had charge of it.
The capitol commission was created
by Governor Haskell in the original
move to relocate the capitol in Okla
homa City. The commission was le-
galized by legislative act and appoint
ed by Governor Haskell
1t is composed Of DR.. Leo Bennett,
Muskogee; Tate Brady. Tulsa, and
Boone Williams, Lehigh.
The last legislature refused to abol-
ish the commission. but did not make
any appropriations for it.

In Ddus of Grandmother.

Where one woman is 50 fortunate as to
possess a garret, ten thousand have not so
much as a storeroom. In grandmother s
day everything was bought at wholesale
that was not manufactured upon farm and
plantation. Fabrics thus procured were
durable to the last thread. Garments were
passed down from generation to genera
tion and made over as long as an ell Of
the original material remained. When
patches and boxes were laid away, there
was q fair degree of certainty that there
would be a call for them within a short
period. Stockings worn out al the toes were
" footed b. busy knitting needles on win
ter nights. Well to do men wore linen
shirts in summer and women INDUCED yet
more freely in linen underwear.
One staid spinster whom l knew alluded
TO them as " internal garments " IN my
bearing. She was, AZ the time busily en-
ployed in cutting out handkerchiefs for
her small nIeces and nephews from the
comparatively urworn portions of said gar
ments. When hemmed they did well for
school children. There was hardly an

T1RST OF all, let US look up the definI-

Any useless or worthless stuff:
that which serves no good purpose,
or is fit only to be thrown away;
trumpery; litter"
Reading on, we learn that the word was
once 'rubbage." I like that obsolete or
dialectical " form of the term far better
than that now in use. I recall that old
fashioned folk used it less than half CEN
tury ago. I heard New England farmer

pretty girl in the neighborhood, that for
his part he wouldn't have let a-v such

inquired into the particulars Of the fellows
