so many distractions. / am disturbed
necessarily by the tiny clamors of lit
tie things, making their sweet, insidi-
GUS appeal for attention.
There is, for instance-or, rather,
there has been--a chick-a-dee's nest
on my summer house, in a box tackled
there to attract the wrens. All my
life have desired to have chick-a-
dee's nest under observation, and this
year my wish was granted. Every
morning while Mrs. Chick-a-dee was
sitting on her eggs l saluted her when
l came down to work.
Then, after had settled down, and
had just got paragraph well under
way, Mr.. Chick-a-dee would appear
with a worm or bug in his mouth to
feed her, and l would have to lay
down my pen to watch him. First he
would perch on a twig twenty or thir-
ty feet away and, without dropping
the food from his mouth, say "chick-a-
dee" two or three times softly-a pref
ty, wiry, tinkling sound. He never
on any occasion added the remaining
"dee-dee-dees" Of the familiar call
After repeating his announcement he
would then fly to a strip of the trellis,
beside the bird box, and sitting there
once more give his wiry little Chick

a hop to the perch below the hole in
the box, transfer the food to the wait
ing bill of his wife, who would have
her head out ready, and depart.

box in my ..eighbors yard, but who
prefers to hunt in mine. can never
resist watching the flash of his blue
wings over the flower beds. Still an
other disturber is a Baltimore oriole.
He feeds in the orchard, swallowing
down a bug or caterpillar and then
fairly dancing on spray while he
emits a musical grace after meat.

Resources.
Jefferson City.

Jefferson City.
State Senators Michael Kinney, ].
F. Morton, c.. NJ. Buford and Lee
Welch, chairmen of four investigating
committees appointed by the senate at
the last session of the legislature,
have held a meeting and decided to
turn back into the state treasury the
$17,5OO which had been appropriated
for the use of the committees.
In a letter to State Treasurer Deal
the senators said they returned the
money because complications as to
the school fund and possible defieien-
cy in other funds of the state made it
apparent that the money might be
used to better advantage for other
and more immediate needs, rather
than for committee investigation pur-
poses.
The committees were appointed to
investigate as to the feasibility of
the state going into the fire insurance
business, to supervise the furnishing
of the new capitol, to revise and pre-
pare laws for conserving the health
of school children, and to investigate
the wages of women and children.
In returning the money to the treas
ury, the committee chairmen say they
will use their own resources in car
rying out the work assigned to them.
Whatever money the committee
men may spend out of their own peck
cts can be restored to them through
relief bills at the next session Of the
legislature.

Missouri Wealth Insreass,.

There is total increase in the
taxable wealth of Missouri for this
year over last of $37,SS7, 526,31. This
increase is divided as follows:
Real estate and personal property,
$S4,765, 45s and public service corpO-
rations $3,122,O6S.S1.
The total valuation of real and per
sonal property for taxable purposes
this year is $1,65S,5S7,414, and the
total of the corporate property is
$19S,SSS. 909.47. The total taxable val
uation of property in the state for this
year is S1.SS7.471.323f7.
This is the highest figure that the
assessment for the state has reached
and the big total is in the face OF the
fact that in many sections OF the state
farm lands that command a cash value
of $500 to $3.50 an acre are valued at
from $40 to $50 for taxation purposes.

a conservative estimate to figure that

the state outside of the great cities
are the property Of farmers.
One surprising aspect of the reg
