TRUST FUNDS.
The Plan Adopted by Clerk Newman
of Whitman County.

Not long ago the papers stated that
some OF the county clerks we're having
trouble over the interest on trust funds
which had been paid into court, the clerk
Of Spokane county being required to re-
turn quite large sum of interest which
the bank had paid him. IL was also
stated that the bank did not have a
right to the funds without interest, and
that the law made no definite provision
in this matter.
The plan OF County Clerk Newman has
been to place certain trust funds, be-
longing to minors chiefly, on interest
both in interest bearing certificates OF
deposit and in savings accounts. These
deposits are made by him as county
clerk in the name OF the individual estate,
and at the end of each six months each
estate or guardianship case is credited
with the interest that belongs to it.
This in some cases makes quite an ad-
dition to the money already deposited.
In one case the semi annual interest ia
$34.O8, in another SAL rs and in some
as small as 5 cents. Each case is kept
separate as though it were only one,
and it receives the interest it is entitled
to. OF course this involves not little
work for the clerk and some for the
banks as we'll, as some of the accounts
are very small, too small to be profitable
to the banks, but the clerk is willing to
do this and the plan has the approval
of the court.

and secretary, b. W. Reiss, A. II. Ragan

luton, which was unanimously adopted:
Whereas it is by common consent,
known to all men, that no house. how
ever well fitted up and supplied, is
complete without woman to manage II
as home and SO no organization of

may be. cannot accomplish their best re-
suits without the aid and advice of their
woman associates, and as we know their
power and need their a.d in al our work,
Therefore, be 1t resolved, That we re-
quest our president Theodore w. Noyes,
to become the chairman of committee
to be known as a prospecting committee;
he to appoint the necessary members, to
canvass the homes of our members, and
to ascertain the willingness OF our moth
ers, wives. sisters and daughters to
form a society to be known as an auxil-
iary to the Association of the Oldest
Inhabitants, and that said committee of
solicitors be and are hereby requested to

Approval of the Suggestion.
William Smith said that it was a very
good move, but he would caution the
committee when it entered on its
work to be careful not to refer to the age
of ladies. for that was tender point with
them He had recently seen the benefit
of ladies' auxiliaries in an association of
which he was member.
B. W. Sunny gave an illustration of
what women could do by citing the his
tory of the hall of Stansbury Lodge of
Masons. which through the aid of ladies
now stands as an ornament to the neigh
borhood. 1t is valued at over $4,000. and
has but small dabt upon It. The first
chapter o. the Eastern Star was organ
