So it can be closed tight and save fuel.
While baking you discover that the
ashes must be taken up. In other ranges
you take out ash pan, door and all, letting

PAY DAY AT STATE CAPITOL.
Special to Independent
Little Rock, June 1.—Today is pay
day at the state capitol. But the
state treasury is prepared for it, with
a balance of $264,977.87 in the gener
al revenue fund. By July 1 funds
will begin to pour into the treasurey
from the various county collectors.
The auditor’s books show that there
is only $12,268.42 in outstanding obli
gations, and that would not be out
standing if they were offered for
payment. v
The state is on an excellent finan
cial basis, and those in charge of its
affairs say there is no reason why it
should ever return to the days of
scrip and cheap warrants. The state
has saved thousands of dollars in the
cash prices that have been secured
for purchases, and the credit of the
state is absolutely at par.

ent. They will carry your business
