Des Moines, July S.-If all the banks
sof the state havef made as material
game in bank deposits as those of the
city oY ;Des Moines the past year there
will be- small cause OF complaining.
REPORTS are beginning to come. into the
Office OF auditor Of state on the banks
organized under state charters.
The Des Moines group OF banks make
a fine showing. The total Of deposits
! OF all kinds in the state banks, savings
banks and trust companies. June 30,
was S20.44s,13S.s4.
The total in same banks June %,
1913, was s1s.s21.22757. The gain is
therefore sl.12s,9lo.37 in the year.
The national banks of Des Moines,
flour In number. had deposits June 80
OF S21,401.l s4Ss. Their increase was
probably as much as In the state and
savings banks. That would mean two
and half million increase in deposits
in this city alone.
z Ice cream makers have appealed to
the United States supreme court the
case recently decided in the Iowa SUI
preme court unfolding the validity of
the Iowa ice cream standard law.
While these papers are on the way
to Washington to get a final judgment
on such legislation, Commissioner
Barney is on the way to Portland
where he reads a paper on the ice
cream law before the national conven-
iion Of pure food commissioner.
The Iowa situation has attracted
national attention, for the reason that
the Iowa statute Is the first one which
contains a definite standard of quality
which has been appealed to the courts,
and the first one. OF course, to be up
held. If the Iowa law is good it is
going to be a peacemaker for a good
many states and probably for the fed
eral government. No other state rs Just
now in such favorable position regard
ing ice cream as Iowa. 1t was be-
cause Of this that Mr.. Barney was
asked to read before the national meet
ang a paper telling the history Of the
and litigation and that is
being done under the law.

The state executive council is by
law required to provide rooms and
for the state insurance COM
missioner. For the present, Mr.. English
has but a,desk while the quarters oc-
cupied for years by the insurance de-
,partment In. the Office Of auditor Of
state are in use. This Arrangement
swill psobably he followed fer some
time. perhaps until the Gloss OF the
year.
It was suggested right at the start.
though the council has not vet taken
AZ ~l1,, ho
to have one OF the brick residence
fats purchased by the state for state
purposes, remodeled and made over in
partment ofithe state, and this would
make room in the state house for
auditor and insurance department
This plan Is the only one considered.
so far as known. by the state officials.
and it has met with general approval.
The idea would be to move the
superintendent Of public instruction to
thu new offices, with his entire de-
partment which Is very badly cramped
for SPACE, and also to move the state
educational board to the same or adj
Joining rooms, for 1t occupies the
speakers room and clerks rooms. and
they will have to be vacated in less
than six months for the legislature.
There Is also second fat in the same
group, Just east Of the state house, that
might be fitted up for the use Of the
state architect who is not now very
we'll situated for room and light.
state officials anticipate very little
trouble in finally making the adjust
ment.
Superintendent Donohoe, of the in
ebriate institution at Knoxville. is
working forty men on the brick plant
regularly at the institution. Last
month they received 1853 in wages for
their services. The system is working
out well.
Mr.. Donohoe states that there is on
the state farm at Knoxville, at point
somewhat removed from the present
brick plant, an extensive bed Of shale
that would be we'll adapted for making
paving brick. He is in favor of estab-
fishing that industry and making
brick to be used on the highways Of
the state.
Bids will be received soon for con-
struction of the new custodial build
ing at Knoxville. The brick for this
may be made right on the institution
grounds by patients.
