THE STATE FUND
IS BRINGING Interest

FIRST TIME In HISTORY OF AR.
KANSAS THAT STATE Is RE.
CEIVING PAY FOR IT'S MONEY.
Deposits Are Subject to Check ut Any
Time.-SOme Objection
able Features.

little Rock, Sept. 19.--For the first
time in the history of Arkansas the
state is receiving interest on funds
carried by the state treasury. A total
OF $275,0O0 has been placed on inter-
est among ten banks OF the state I'M
der terms of Act 430, approved June
l, 1911.
The money thus deposited, and the
rates of interest paid upon such de-
posts are as follows:
Bank Of Jonesboro, $4,000 at 4 per
cent.
Lawrence County Bank, Walnut
Ridge, $4,000 at 3 "a per cent
Mercantile Trust Co., Little Rock,
$4,000 at per cent.
Hampstead County Bank, at Hope,
$4,000, at 4 per cent.
Arkansas Trust and Banking Co.,
Ashdown, $4,000, at CSC per cent
Marshall Bank, at Marshall, $780,
Citizens National Bank, ArkadeI-
phia, $4,000, at 4 per cent
Bank of Rogers, $4,000. at 4 9-16
per cent.
This makes total of $275 900, all
of which has been placed OH deposit
in the various banks with the excep-
ton of that allotted to the Huntsville
Bank. The bond was only recently
approved and the bank was notified
that the money is ready for it upon
call @
By the terms of the act, there may
be one depository in each of the 80
Senatorial districts. There were only
Is bids, and there are no repositories
in 20 counties.
The money that has thus been plac-
ed on deposit is from the State Capt.
tol Fund. with the exception of $685.
900 from the Confederate pension
fund, which the board considered
h'SHl uS pistSCu out dt IutClCoI lGIH-
porarily.
The money is subject to check by
the state at any time, and may be
WITHDRAWN upon demand. No bank
is permitted to handle more than
$4,000, nor more than the amount Of
its paid up capital. 1t is also requir-
ed to give approved bond to the state
for two and one-hcN times the amount
deposited, and the state is therefore
in the present instance protected by
aggregate bonds Of $550,0O0.
There is still left in the state treas
ury in actual money about 100000.
OF this sum about 100000 is in the
state capitol funds, which are being
paid out and diminished daily.
The board having control of the
state repositories consists of the
treasurer, attorney general and COVER
nor. The previous board, consisting
of Gov. Donaghey. Attorney General
Norwood. and Treasurer Crockett, did
not consider that it was good public
policy to lend the money under the
provisions of the act, and no advan
tage has been taken of it therefore
until the present time.
One of the Objectionable features of
the act, in the opinion of those who
have made study of it, is that the
collectors of county where there is a

for the small number of arrests they

Tree Earn, ss.2o5.

What is probably the most valuable
tree in the world is an alligator pear
tree at Whittier. Cal. which melted
its owner profit of $3,205 in one
year. This tree was planted in 1905.
and began bearing in its fourth year.
In 1912 it bore 5000 pears, which sold
for $1,000. while the sale of buds dur
ing the same year amounted to ST.
705. making the total given above.
The tree is a seeding. the seed hav-
ing been planted with a quantity Of
other seed which had been imported,
presumably from Mexico. Another
tree which was planted at the same
time, and which stands close to this
phenomenal bearer, has never borne
more than so pears in season This
valuable tree is now protected by a
high fence built on an octagonal plan
The pears weigh from eight to twelve
ounces each.
