clothing; if there is no school within two
and one-half miles Of the residence; if
the child has already completed the
common school course; il the labor of
the child is absolutely necessary to
support the family.

In cities having a population of 10000
or more, the school boards are authorized
to establish and maintain one or more
ungrnded truant or parental schools for
the education Of children who are
hnbitual truants or who are iucorrigible,
vicious or immoral.
School boards shall publish or post
notices OF the provisions Of this law just
before the opening of school each year.
Mombers Of school boaids aud regular

any child not legally excused from
attending school aud put the child in

parent or guardian. In case parent or
guardian makes no choice, then in the
public school Jf thcdistrict.
Although the law requires attendance
Of only half the time, no child can be
excused from attendance on that account
until he has complied with the law. In
other words, "A child cannot be excused
from attending the first half Of the term
on condition that he attend the last half,
but he may be excused from attending
when he has complied with the law by
attending half OF the term.

hunting and places restraint on somo
ways Of fishing but the man with tho

LETTER FROM new YORK

Howard Matthews Likes His Work
but not FavOrabIy Impressed

Editor Jasper News:
Perhaps you will be interested to
know that am still midst the exciting
scenes " of the east. The past winter
has been very remarkable indeed. The
first snow that fell stayed on the ground
all winter and then left rs suddenly as
spring was ushered in. The carol of
the birds, the budding Of the trees and
the millinery openings, all 50 character
stic of the advent of spring, have come,
and now summer is on in full blast.
As for myself, | am just as much
impressed" with the activities of life
here as when first came. have not
yet found out Just how the westerner
differs in appearance from the people
here unless it is the absence of Il red
nosei but | am continually greeted with
the remark that "You are from the
West" tn which answer with vi gor-
Gus you bet!" expect the difference
in speech accounts for it. They speak
here of Iowa hnd Arkansas and il
would be an insult to a printers pie to
attempt to spell Oklahoma the way it
is pronounced here.
The city seems to prefer to live in the
dreams Of the past. The Episcopal
church which is the oldest building in
the state OF New York and which was
bonored by having George Washington

points of interest and is spoken of more

My FRIEND if you have any idea of hav-
ing your home fitted up to burn gas and
have any idea of burning it after it has
been so fitted up, you are warned against
committing such a blunder. A friend Of
mine did that and he paid dearly for his ex-
perience, " said a well known citizen one day
this week. He had been using electricity
and thought he was paying too much for it,
and he was doubtless quite right. He read
gas advertisement one day, which in,
formed him the using of gas instead of elec-
tricity was a great economy, and so he had
his electric lights taken out and installed gas
lights throughout his house This installa-
ton cost him something like $40. The lights
looked beautiful and for while the whole

family was delighted with the change. In
month s time however, it began to dawn
upon them that a grave mistake had been
made. The gas bill came in and it was just
as high as the electric light bill. A number
of mantels and chimneys had been broken
during the month, which proved to be OF
monthly occurrence, and when the breakage
was added to the other regular gas bill it
was considerably more than the electric light
bill for the month The home had been re-
Gently papered with expensive wall paper
and in two months time that showed signs
of being smoked, and in one instance the
paper had been actually scorched.. So smoked
did the paper soon become that the house
had to be repapered, which of itself cost more
than the electric light bill for a whole year.
Then the meter man read the meter just as
well without seeing it as he did when he did
see it. If the family were away and the read
er came to read the meter he read it just
the same or he reported it read. Six months
of this was sufficient to convince my friend
he was losing too much money to continue
using gas, and so he ordered it taken out i'm
mediately, if not sooner The city lighting
plant is rapidly covering all parts of the
city, and if you have that service put in
your home you not only get cheaper lights,
but get square deal in the reading Of the
meter, thing that you seldom ever get
from private companies furnishing either gas
or electric lights. With the city service one
can light their home ten times better and
pay for a third to half less money per
month for that lighting service. The city
lighting plant is another spoke in the munich
pal ownership idea, and if you are having
your house lighted with either gas or cleo
tricity and desire to save money in doing so
you will have those private concerns cut
their wires and have the city wires put in.
