options to acquire Issuer Common Stock.


Item 5.  Interest in Securities of Issues.

     Item 5 is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

     On December 14, 1995, DFC and Livingston entered into an
agreement (the "Agreement") with Issuer and ESOP whereby Issuer and
ESOP agreed to purchase from DFC and Livingston a total of
1,581,133 shares of Issuer common stock that DFC and Livingston
either currently owned or had the option to purchase, consisting of
808,828 shares then owned by DFC, 3,405 shares then owned by
Livingston, 256,300 shares acquired by DFC on December 22, 1995
pursuant to the exercise of an option, and 512,600 shares (the
"Option Shares") then owned by State Street Boston Corporation
("State Street") but subject to the option to purchase by DFC under
the terms of a stock purchase agreement between DFC and State
Street dated September 15, 1995.

     Pursuant to the Agreement, Issuer and ESOP will acquire all
such shares at a price of $43.50 per share in cash.  Under the
Agreement, DFC and Livingston will deliver 1,068,533 shares of
Issuer common stock to Issuer and ESOP on January 2, 1996 against
payment of $46,481,185.  Thereafter, Issuer will acquire one-half
of the Option Shares on March 22, 1996 and the remaining Option
Shares on June 21, 1996 by either (i) exercising the option to
purchase the Option Shares on its own behalf (if State Street
consents to DFC's assignment of its right to purchase the Option
Shares) or (ii) DFC exercising the option to purchase the Option
Share using funds provided by Issuer.  If the later event occurs,
DFC will direct that the Option Shares be transferred to a custody
account at UMB Bank, n.a. and concurrently released to Issuer.

     At such time as Issuer receives the Option Shares relating to
the March 22, 1996 exercise, Issuer will pay DFC $2,062,050 for
such shares.  An equal amount will be paid by Issuer to DFC upon
Issuer's receipt of the Option Shares relating to the June 21, 1996
exercise.<PAGE>
<PAGE>

     In the event any federal or state regulatory or governmental
authority revokes or otherwise determines that Issuer or ESOP are
not permitted to consummate the purchase of Issuer common stock,
Issuer and ESOP will be relieved of any obligation to purchase the
shares under the Agreement.

     All of the share amounts referenced herein have been adjusted
to give effect to a 10% stock dividend payable January 2, 1996 to
Issuer's shareholders of record on December 12, 1995. 

Item 6.   Contracts, Arrangements, Understandings or Relationships
          With Respect to Securities of the Issuer.

     Item 6 is hereby amended and supplemented by the following:

     See information in Item 5 above.

     In connection with the consummation of the transaction contem-
plated by this Agreement, the ESOP and UMBF represent and warrant
that they have made all required or appropriate notices and filings
with all federal and state regulatory and governmental authorities
and have received all necessary or appropriate confirmations
consents, and approvals from such federal and state regulatory and
governmental authorities.  Although Dickinson shall cooperate in
providing information or other reasonable assistance in connection
with any such filings and notices, it is expressly understood and
agreed that such filings and notices, to the extent that they are
triggered by or otherwise arise by reason of the ESOP's and UMBF's
acquisition or proposed acquisition of the UMBF Shares, shall be
the sole responsibility and expense of the ESOP and UMBF, and
Dickinson and Livingston shall not be liable for, and the ESOP and
UMBF shall indemnify Dickinson and Livingston with respect to, any
claims, losses penalties or other costs or expenses which may
result from the failure to comply with any such filing or notice
requirements.  In the event that any federal or state regulatory or
governmental authority shall revoke or otherwise determine that the
ESOP and UMBF are not permitted to consummate the purchase of the
UMBF Shares as contemplated herein, the ESOP and UMBF shall be
relieved of any obligation to purchase the UMBF Shares under this
Agreement.  Notwithstanding the foregoing, all filings required of
Dickinson and Livingston under Federal Securities Law with respect
to the transaction provided for herein shall remain Dickinson's and
Livingston's sole responsibility.

     c.   Severability . To the extent possible, each provision of
          this Agreement will be interpreted in such manner as to
          be effective and valid under applicable law, but if any
          provision is held to be invalid, illegal or
          unenforceable, that provision will be ineffective only to
          the extent of such invalidity, illegality or
          unenforceability, without rendering invalid, illegal or
          unenforceable the remainder of any such provision or the
          remaining provisions of this Agreement.

     d.   Waiver.  A waiver by any party of any term or provision
          of this Agreement will not be considered a waiver of that
          term or provision at any other time, or of any other term
          or provision.

     e.   Assignment.  None of the parties may assign or transfer
          its rights or obligations under this Agreement to any

          entity which is financially able to perform the contract.

     f.   Specific Performance.  Dickinson and Livingston agree
          that UMBF and the ESOP would be irreparably damaged if
          Dickinson and Livingston do not perform this Agreement in
          accordance with its terms and that UMBF and the ESOP
          shall be entitled, in addition to any other remedies to
          them, to specific performance by Dickinson and Livingston
          of this Agreement.

     g.   Entire Agreement and Governing Law.  This Agreement
          constitutes the entire agreement between the parties and
          supersedes any prior agreements or representations
          relating to the sale of the UMBF Shares and may not be
          contradicted by evidence or prior, contemporaneous or
          subsequent oral agreements.  This Agreement shall be
          governed by the laws of the State of Missouri, without
          regard to any applicable conflicts of laws principles.

     h.   Counterparts.  This Agreement may be executed in
          counterparts all of which shall be considered one and the
          same agreements and shall become effective when
          counterparts have been signed by each of the parties an
          delivered to the other party, it being understood that
          all parties need not sign the same counterpart.

     IN WITNESS WHEREOF, the parties have caused this agreement to
