Too Much Of a Good Thing
Printing by of movable type is means of saving
time when many copies of the thing be made alike
1t also enables person have things plain and and
where handwriting plain there advantage that respect
in having done with type But where only few copies de-
sired, printing is seldom resorted TO-
During the past steel filing bought for
the office of the probate Judge all the legal blanks could be
assembled shallow drawers On the front of each drawer
handle and groove which place abed showing what form
lis in the drawer The dealer shipping the enclosed 500
blank labels and anyone who fine writer like probate Judge
could mark the labels he could read them glance also
could Others The placed commission early
the fall and all the desirable legal blanks put The
labels printed written typewren No two labels
alike and to know how they be printed
We the clerks Office opened the big book with the word
allowance the back and traced the printing bills and
found one which reads as follows:

October 9, 200 blank labels for cabinets, 81.
70. X. Jensen, P. J."
1heozng how this expense bill incurred, decided
that list have been made of all the titles needed and that
handed the printer 1t could have been written the labels
themselves instead of in the list and the job would have been fin
shed The printer had the type for label lock the
FORM fit the press print blank LABEL stop the press take
the form off, place the sone (able) unlock it, another
label type put the press print label stop the press
take off the formand keep that work going until he down
through the list 1t infinitely work than writing type
writing the list and all necessary unnecessary according the
way one looks it. We merely mention it in passing.
Our suggestions how economic the public printing
we'll get away from the Incidence incompetence and dirt
without moving of the old Dump will be given later chap
