Grass widow,s erievance

THAT fortune teller got all mixed
up on my husbands" said the grass
widow as she left the seventh daugh-
ter, with an escort holding tight. "She
said | had had two; then she wouldn't
say l would have three. 1 thought
that mean of her. Instead, she kept
on saying what a nice husband | had
now, what a fine man he was, and all
that idiocy. Why, my husband is the
meanest little brute that ever lived.
l haven't laid eyes on him for two
years. Now, why do you suppose that
fortune teller kept on saying he was
such a nice husband?" she demanded.
That's easy" said the escort. She
thought l was your husband and she'd
get to tell my fortune when she had
finished yours"

Bank Advocates Organize.
An organization was effected June
% in favor of the Gardner land bank
bill and a proposed amendment TO the
constitution providing for an issue OF
Sl,OO0,0O0 Of states funds for the
bank. The bank bill passed the last
legislature. but to become operative
a constitutional amendment will be
necessary.
Thirty men from various parts OF
the state, representing various occu-
pations and all the political parties.
considered the measure for three
hours.
Representative Noah Simpson of
Lewis county, was elected chairman
and A. T. Edmondson of the state la
Dor bureau, secretary. Committee
men were appointed from each con-
gressional district to circulate petit.
tons for the submission of the amend
ment at the next general election and
to start a statewide campaign for
votes for the amendment.
Col. Fred D. Gardner of st. Louis,
author of the bill, said he wanted it
understood that the land bank bill is
absolutely n~onpartisan and that the
friends Of the measure should see to
it that it remains so.
All those in attendance not already
members of the tentative state com
mittee were added to this ~organiza-
ton. The temporary state committee
was then made permanent.

System Commended.

system Commended.
The report of the firm Of Warwick,
Mitchell, Peat & Co., the expert ac-
countants employed by the special in
vestigating committee of the house on
the operations of the state treasury
for the four years ended December
81, 1914 has been submitted to the
committee.
The report commends the system in
operation in the treasury and it's con-
dition.
An examination was made Of the
collections by the department and the
warrants drawn by the state auditor
and paid by the treasurer.
The report says that in order to as
certain that the state treasurer had
accounted for all moneys collected
they communicated with all parties
who pay money to him.
Those who replied specified pay
ments to the state amounting to $22,-
4~65,45S.72, all of which was found re
corded in the treasurer's books.
"As this amounts" the report reads,
ito approximately two-thirds of the
total for the four years un-
der review, you will appreciate that
this represents a satisfactory proof
that all receipts were properly
recorded"
In checking owe the amounts paid
out during the four years the experts
find that there is only a difference Of
5 cents between the auditors books
and those Of Treasurer Deal in a total
of $4,000, 4S3. 20.

Blake Denunces Experts.

@t~tNN @NRSt |#fHMH" t
State Superintendent Of Insurance
Charles G. Revelle and his ~predeces-
sor, Frank Blake of Kansas City, ap-
peared before the house special in
v~estigating committee and testified
with reference to the report by ac-
countants as to fees charged to have
been illegally retained.
The evidence of both was that the
fees we're allowed by law to be actu-
airy of the department.
In the case of Blake the report of
Warwick, Mitchell, Peat & Co, Of Kan
sas City, the accountants, charged that
$811.05 had been retained by Blake.
Blake produced cancelled checks of
the Kansas City Life Insurance Com
pany, one for $35O.75 made payable to
A. L. Reeves, then actuary of the de-
partment, and another for $450.30,
made payable to himself. The last
check, he said, had been made payable
to him by mistake and he had so in
dorsed it. 1t was due Actuary Reeves
for work done for the insurance com
pany. There was an explanatry note
on the back Of the check made at the
time.
Blake appealed to the committee to
set him right, the accountants having
refused to do so. There was absolute
ly nothing in my administration that
was u~nwarranted by law" he said, 'as
these alleged expert accountants could
have as~certained had they mde the
effort. l am not a thief and l did not
retain a penny Of money belonging to

ROAD WORK FOR.
CONV|CTS SUCCESS
PRISONERS IN ozAeE COUNTY
FOR MoNTH-No BREAK
OF DISCIPLINE.
MEN LOSE PRISON pALLOR
Men With Best Records Chosen to Do
on Legislative Resolutions, and
Customs Followed Show Its
Beings.
Jefferson City.

A correspondent has visited the first
convict road camp in Missouri. The
camp is located on the Westphalia-
Linn road in Usage county, about four
miles north Of Westphalia.
Here the theory of certain state
officials, that the convicts in the state
p~enitentiary a be leased to the va
rious counties for road work. is being
tested.
The experiment, so far, has been
ar unqualified success. About rs
convicts have bene working in that
vicinity for o than a month, and
not once has a breach of discipline
occurred, nor have any of the prison
ers made an effort to escape.
Two facts, however, have to DO
taken into consideration in citing
these results. In the first place, the
convicts were selected because they
had the best prison records and with
a view toward making the expert
ment a success, if possible. The 9TH
er reason is that the cenvicts are fed
and sheltered better than many Of
them probably would be if they were
free. In other words, they really are
not treated like prisoners, though
technically, they are inmates Of the
penitentiary.
The men have lost their prison pal
Tor and are tanned and brown. They
work only about eight hours a day
and under moderate masters. Their
appreciation Of the difference between
such a treatment and the slave driv-
ing methods Of the convict system, is
shown by their conduct.
Only four guards are used at the
camp. Two are on duty during the
day and two at night.
