Elma Fruit and Produce Association
Preparing to Handle the Crop
in that Vicinity

ELMA, June 16.-This week the
Elma Fruit and Produce association
will get down to the active business
of handling the strawberry crop of
this locality. Home grown berries ap-
peared for the first time on Monday
of last week. and after this week,
few, if any, berries will be shipped
into Elma. Most berry raisers re-
port that prospects for large crop
are good, and unless the season grows
unpleasant the association will have
its hands full selling the crop.
Last year the association did we'll.
and handled the berries at a per cent
that few members anticipated. This
year more of the berries will be ship
ped and the per cent for handling
should be still lower. Most of the
local dealers and many Harbor deal
ers have given their word that they
will buy all the berries that they
handle from the association as long
as the association can supply them.
The merchants know that they can
depend upon the association for n
regular supply of berries and they
are glad to patronize it,

COUNTY OFFICERS CANNOT
HIRE WIFE AS DEPUTY

OLYMPIA, June 16-In ruling
made by Assistant Attorney General
]. T. S. Lyle it is held that under
the statutes county officers and 9th
er public officials who are elected
cannot hire their wives or minor chill
dren as employees or deputies, as the
law provides that no public official
shall have any interest in any con.
tract or salary paid.
AS result of this ruling one of
the county school superintendents of
the state who drew salary of 500
month and his wife, employed as
a deputy at $85, has resigned and
there has been considerable shifting
about in aother counties.
1t appears that in many instances
it has been customary for a county
official when elected to office to have
his wife or minor child as deputy.
This is as illegal as it is for coun-
ty official, or any other officer, to sell
goods to the taxpayers, if he is in
terested in the firm making the sale.
as the official has an interest in the
salary of his wife or minor child
