By Mabel Abbott

Mrs. Ida McQuesten, president
of the school board, sat at the
head of the long oak table in the
board room. 1t was only little
after 3 o'clock yesterday after
noon, and the board meeting
would not begin until 4, but Mrs.
McQuesten was very busy.
Two piles of pale-green papers
lay before her. She took a paper
from one pile, wrote something at
the bottom of the sheet and laid
il on the other pile.
Then she took another and did
the same thing-and another and
another, with smooth, auto
matte motion, as IL she had been
doing it for a long time.
The pale-green papers were
thousand-dollar school bonds
400 of them. They are to be used
in refunding 100000 of the Ia
coma school bond issue. Mrs.
McQuesten, as president of the
board, was signing them. She
has to sign the whole 40.
"Yes, l get tired signing my
name sometimes" she admitted,
without interrupting the steady
motion of her hand.
These bonds, however, are a
small job, compared with the
monthly warrants for salaries.
One month l signed 600 and 700
warrants at one sitting. A week

THE CANARY

Oh. Is this the canary that

You've hit the bulls eye, Hec

Does he stop whistling when
the car stops?
Oh, my no! That's the time
he leans on IL heavy so everybody
in the car will be sure to hear
him.
He's always whistling some

out of tune.
This Is the same bird that
walks up a stree after midnight
and whistles to show that he isn't
afraid.
Wen bet that half the fellows
shot by hold-up men ire these
midnight whistles.
And you can't exactly blame
the burglar for shooting, can you?
1t has always puzzled us to
know why they cage up the poor
little innocent bird and let the

wings.
