interest on State Funds.

In his report to the general assem-
bly, State treasurer E. P. Deal will
show that his department. has effect
ed interest earnings during the four
years he has been in office of $411,-
653.62. This Is by far the greatest
amount the surplus state funds ever
earned. The earnings during the
previous four years were $3S4,O41.12
from the direct revenue and $2,16974
from the interest on the capitol build
ing funds.
Treasurer Deal induced the 1915
legislature to make several changes
In the laws. One provided that a
bank or trust company could bid for
nne-eightieth of the funds. This
opened competition and let the small
er ones in. 1t also resulted In in
creasing the rate from 1929 to 3.79
per cent.
Another change enabled banks and
trust companies to deposit approced
farm mortgages as security. The old
law provided for approved bonds.

Jefferson City.

The report Of the committee OF the
assembly appointed to advise the leg
tslature whether It should permit the
institution of a contest Of the cleo
ton OF Gov. Frederick d. Gardner by
Henry Lamm, Republican, has been
made TO the assembly. The recon-
mendation was that the contest
should not be allowed.
The reasons assigned in the COM
mittee's report for its recommenda-
lions that the contest be rejected
were:
That the contest was not filed in
good faith and that he is not pro.
ceeding with the contest in the be-
lief that It could change the result
OF the election.
That 1t is not the free act OF the
contestant and that 1t is due to the
Oyer-persuasion of his political
friends seeking political advantage.
That 1t is not supported by the Re
publican state committee.
That contest would be expensive.
That to properly conduct contest

That many OF the allegations Of
fraud were trivial and could not

That a contest would not change
the result Of the election, as certified
by judges and clerks Of election.
That the contestant could not sus.
tain the allegations Of his petition.
A contest would require many
months OF work.
That the expense would be at least
100000.
That a contest would interfere
seriously with the legislative work of
the assembly.
That the frauds alleged could not
not have been perpetrated without

statue of Inez MilhOlland Boissevain,
the martyr suffragette, who died for
the cause. The figure is by Paul Swan,
sculptor, painter and dancer. In his
studio he has many works of art fash
Toned by his own hand-statues, paint
ings, and other treasures. Paul Swan
is known principally for his graceful
dancing, but only few people know
him as an artist. Many prominent
suffragists who knew Mrs. Boissevain
have expressed great interest in this
symbolic statue. Some who have seen
It claim for it the personification OF
Mrs. Bolssevain's life and ideals.

Governor Gardner has named VIM.
II. Painter, former lieutenant COVER
nor, as warden of the Missouri peni-
tentiary to succeed d. C. McClung.
He said he appointed Painter war

isture had acted on the prison reform
bill, no matter what the action should
be.

WONDERFUL THING IN LIFE
Love for orandfather's Clock Is
Possession Which All Men Might
Well Envy.

There was little boy who always
loved to go to his grGndfother's be-
cause Of the great big clock in the hAGI.
He would stand before It for hours
and watch the big round thing swing
gently from side to side, and every
once I'm a while a little bell would
strike and then there would be music.
He loved to wait for the music; he
was always afraid 1t wouldn't come,
and then after a while It did. He
didn't seem TO care how long he stood
In front of the clock.
Isn't 1t because of these little boys
that grandfathers clocks are so popu-
lar2 Grownup little boys and girls
still keep their veneration for their
grandfathers clock. It Is n wonderful
thing when thing loved in childhood
turns out to be well worthy of con.
tinued admiration after years of dis
erection are reached, and many discreet
persons still feel tempted to stand In
fascination before their clock in the
