 Much misconception exists with regard to the dole, of which the proper title is unemployment in surance." It is not, as appears to be widely believed in America, a matter of having the government pay out vast sums each week to support the unemployed in idleness and to keep them quiet"
 In actual fact, the state only bears two-sevenths of the dole, the other five-sevenths being provided by contributions from the employ CTS and from men and women who

COLOMBIA. Mo April H. On Thomas Jefferson's birthday anniversary, April IS. the marble slab bearing the epitaph he wrote for himself will be taken from Uni versity of Missouri vaults.
 Boone county democratic organi- cations will place a wreath upon it, and it will be returned to the archives.
 The first monument on Jeffer- sons grave in Monticello, Va, was removed to the Missouri campus in the 1880's when a new tomb was erected.
 Two great grandnieces of the third President granted permission ! for it's removal because the Univer- ] sity of Missouri was the first great college west of the Mississippi and stands in the heart of the Louisiana ] territory which Jefferson acquired ! for the United States To avoid protests from Virginia, 1 it was loaded on a freight car se- 1 cretly. It was well on it's way west when its absence was discov- cred.
 The tiny obelisk was scared, and the marble slab cracked, when fire destroyed the university administra- tion building in 1892. A mounted elephant fell on it from the second floor of the building.
 The marble was repaired, but is kept in the vaults now, and remoy- cd only for the birthday observ- ances. The obelisk stands before Jesse hall.
 Jefferson's epitaph, inscribed on the slab, reads:
 HERE WAS BURIED
 THOMAS JEFFERSON AUTHOR OF THE DECLARATION OF INDEPENDENCE, OF THE
 STATUTE OF VIRGINIA FOR
 RELIGIOUS FREEDOM, AND FATHER OF THE UNIVERSITY

He added a humorous touch when he con- cluded: If the Alaska Legislature will leave the brown bear alone the Alaska Guides Association will take care of the extermination of the beasts"
