STATE HAS GOODLY
BALANCE ON HAND.


The state of Iowa had $1,S29,-
443.S2 in cash on hand and in banks
at the close of business April 30th.
OF this amount $1,6S1,021.2S is
in the general revenue fund for
meeting current expenses. The bal
ance is distributed among several
other funds. such as capitol extern
sion, college endowment, vocational
training and other special funds.
According to State Treasurer
Hoyt revenue to the amount Of
100000 will come into the treas
ury department during the month of
May. Many of the large items have
already been received, such as fees
from insurance companies, automo-
bile money. and share Of the
first half of the taxes from the
counties. The balance of the county
taxes will be paid in May.
In 1917 the high mark in the am
cunt of the funds in the general
revenue fund reached in the latter
part of May, when there was on
hand $1,079,966.S6. At the CORES
ponding time this year the amount
will be approximately $2,500,0O0.
basing this estimate on what is now
on hand and what is due and will be
paid in May.
With this balance on hand to run
on until the second half of the taxes
begin to be received in October, it
is possible that this year it will not
be necessary to issue interest bearing
warrants, as was the case last year.
At that time such warrants to the
amount of S1,300.000 were issued
by the state, all of which have by
this time been redeemed.

RE A TRUE RED CROSS SOLDIER

The time is near at hand when all
of us must show that we are good
Red Cross soldiers-especially those
who are actively engaged in the pro-
duction of supplies. AS you all know,
there have been complications in
supplying raw materials which the
workers turn into various completed
articles. Those complications have
been unavoidable and there will like
ly be more unavoidable ones in the
future. 1t behooyes every chapter
and every member to do his or her
best to minimize the disadvantages
of these complications to the last de-
gree. How? By following orders
with true faithful, military precis-
ion. Do the work that is called for
in the way it is called for and do
nothing else. You will then be a
genuine and effective worker help
ing the army and navy and your
country.-Red Cross Bulletin.

series of their own compositions.

he's been mainly responsible for making
them popular for she has introduced

1t is quite natural to suppose that
being a composer. Mr.. Ball should be a
