COUNTY AUDITOR
ALIVE TO DISTRICTS
Arranses Safe Place For All
Legal Papers { Documents
Of Rural Districts

My attention has been called to
the fact that all school districts
have official documents, such as
insurance policies, contracts,
mortgages, deeds, etc, and that
the directors, who are custodians.
often have no safe place in which
to keep them.
The larger districts adjacent to
Seattle take care of this problem
by renting safe deposit box, but
the smaller districts do not have
such facilities.
These are public documents, of
interest to the people Of the dis
trict, and. in fact of the whole
country, and are matter affect
ing the public welfare.
| have, therefore, made arrange.
ments for school section in the
files of the auditors Office in
which to preserve such documents
as deeds, abstracts, contracts,
mortgages, fire insurance policies,
etc, without charge. They will be
receipted for. and subject to in
ispection the Same as other dOcu-
ments and returnable only to the
accredited clerk or director. They
can be mailed to the Auditor s
office the same as other documents
and will be taken care of by the
deputy in charge of school work,
and a record kept of receipt and
release.
1t is the desire of the under
signed to cooperate with the
schools in every manner possible
and we are always glad to receive
suggestions wherein we can be of
service.
Very truly yours,
Norman M. Wardall,
County Auditor.

THE PROPHECY

There was goody-goody boy
Who learned his lessons well,
And took a vast amount of JOY
In knowing how to spell.
Whenever other boys wee slow
With their arithmetic,
led raise hi, hand and say, II
know
And tel! thn answer quick.
SO good a child, in short, was he,
His teacher used to say,
|"Our little George will surely be
The Governor some day!
There was another little boy
Who sat up nights to find
Ingenious methods to destroy
The teachers peace Of mind.
He'd scatter powder on the floor,
To make the children sneeze;
His teacher, whom he should
adore
lie called a piece OF cheese.
And she would frown and look
severe,
And shake her head and say,
eff Thomas won't be good, | fear
He'll go to Jail some day"
Now, teachers do not always
know
For there is no sure rule
OF telling where boy will go
When he departs from school
Good boys have perpetrated crime
And fallen to disgrace,
While naughty boys have often.
times
Been foremost in the race.
But that is not the ending tor
This truthful little tale,
For George became a Governo,
And Thomas went to Jail !!

did not agree with the President s
course in the diplomatic negotiations
with Germany. was thus disclosed as
fact, although it had been rumored
