children under the age of seventeen
years, and, through probation Of
ficer whom the court is required TO
appoint, must exercise a friendly ST.
pervision Of the children so taken ov-
er until they are twenty-one years
old. In my judgment women are best
adapted to probation officers, and. all
other things being equal, it will be
my policy to appoint women to the
places unless experience shall dispell
present ideas on the subject.
at will be the policy of the court
to place these unfortunate children in
suitable homes in the county, if they
may be found, instead of committing
them to the reformatory institutions
Of the State, the persons taking such
children to do so for the love and
companionship Of them, and will be
under no obligation to keep them for
any definite length of time, but they
may be returned to us at any time the
person feels that they can no Longer
bear the obligation or control the
child.
GAS rule the children themselves
are in no way to blame for the con,
ditions which bring them before the
court. Many are merely poor and
needy, a few have been bad merely
for the want of better counsel, and
none ought to be past redemption
None have had a fair start in the race
of life set before them, and if l may
have the cooperation Of the people
we'll give all these children at least
one fair chance to become useful men
and women before committing then
to a public rcformatory with the stig.
ma thereby written into a life Of in
nocence. This is vital to the child
Human souls are at stake. We now
have five such children, three girls and
two boys, four aged fourteen and one
eleven, in need of good homes and
school advantages. If people will take
these children on trial it will be com.
mendably charitable conduct, as well
as practical Christianity.
"Mrs. John c. Turk, of Mount Yer.

fcer of Lawrence county, Mo-, for the
present. If willing to help, communi,

at least one child a fair chance il
life which it never had"

IMPORTANT TO YOU

Owing to the continued high price
of news print paper, The Times is
compelled to make some mOdifica-
tons in the plan of sending out this
paper. Heretofore it has been sent
to all those whom we believed to be
responsible, for limited time. But
this plan must be changed somewhat,
in order that the management may
continue to pay bills promptly.
Statements will be sent to all who
may be in arrears, even though it
may be only week, or whose time is
just expiring, calling attention to the
condition of your subscription, and the
statement will be made out for a year
in advance, so that if the weekly visits
of the paper is desired to be continued,
the subscription must be paid in ad-
vance.
In other words, beginning with the
first of October, subscriptions must
be paid In advance, or the paper will
be discontinued to your address. At
that time it is our intention to cut
off all delinquents, and thereafter to
stop the paper when the time paid for
has expired. At S1.00 a year, for a
paper the size of The Times, advance
payment is necessary, and even then
there is no profit in subscriptions
1t may also be necessary soon to ad-
vance the subscription price of this
paper to S1.50 year, as many other
and smaller papers have already done.
But that matter will be taken up when
we reach it. In the meantime we
would insist that all those who may
know themselves to be in arrears on
subscription to The Times-the date
to which you are paid appears OppO-
site your address-renew at once. Ad-
vance payment now will give you the
benefit of the raise in the subscription
price that will probably go on at an
early date.
AND PLEASE REMEMBER THAT
ALL DELINQUENT SUBSCRIP-
TONS WILL BE DISCONTINUED
ON, OR SOON AFTER, OCT. 1ST,
1917.

THE USE OF THE FLAG

Since the United States has become
involved in the war, the flag of our
country and other national emblems
are being used more than for many
years. This exhibition of patriotism
extends to printing and every printer
and publisher should be thoroughly in
formed regarding proper and illegal
uses of the Stars and Stripes, the
coat of arms of the nation and other
national designs, says the Ben Frank
lin Monthly. .,...
Customers are also becoming more
critical of the patriotic designs used
CT their printing. They want cor
rect flag and will not be satisfied with
an obsolete type, having the wrong
number of stars or incorrect proper
tons.
The flag should have AZ stars in ev-
en- rows, with its length one and nine
tenths times the length of the union,
the blue union crossing seven of the
stripes and resting on the eighth,
which should be white.
The United States Government and
Several of the States have passed laws
restricting the use Of the United States
flag, State flags and the national and
State coats of arms. In a general
way, it is illegal to print anything
over the flag or to use it for adver-
Using or business purposes. Many of
these laws were passed years ago,
however, and have not heretofore been
very carefully enforced. Under the
state of war, more attention will be
paid to the use of the flag and the
watchful printer may save himself
trouble and also help his customers by
informing himself fully regarding the
illegal ways in which the flag may be
used. Some of the State laws limit
the use of flags even more than Fed
eral laws, so it is necessary to obey
both classes of laws.
All United States district attorneys
are informed to pass intelligently on
any proposed use Of the flag about
which there is any doubt and the dis
trict attorney of the city or district,
who is elected to enforce city and State
laws, can give authoritative informa-
ton regarding local legislation and
State laws.
Recruiting for the army and navy,
being government matters, special u.s.
es of the flags may be permitted for
such purposes, that would be illegal
for any other purpose
1t is not only a patriotic duty for
every published to be thoroughly in
formed, but it is also good business

Way.
The correspondent was able to note
the peculiar value of this part of the
crest when ne went out to observe
one of the many fights for its posses
sion which have been waged since the
French offensive began in April this
year. From the southern side of the
crest the way had to be made with
eyes and ears alert and legs ready to
jump into any nearby shell hole to
escape the splinters of high expro-
sive shells big enough to fell the most
robust tree, which are poured into the
valley at hazard by the German artil-
lery on the other side. The German
gunners cannot see the effects of their
fire since they have lost the best OBJ
servation points-hence the constant
fighting to regain possession-but
they rarely cease their bombardment,
their hope being to disturb and hinder
the supplies coming up to the French
on the Front line.

JUVENILE COURT IN COUNTY

The State Board of Charities recent
ly received the following interview
from Judge Henson of Mount Vernon,
which relates to county juvenile court
work. Counties in Judge Henson's
judicial circuit and in which he will
appoint probation officers are Barry,
Lawrence, Mcdonald and Newton.
Attention is called to the fact that in
Lawrence county there are five de-
pendent or neglected children who
will be sent to State institutions I'M
less they can be placed in good, pri-
vate homes. This the county proba-
ton officer will likely be able to do.
While it would cost the county 5000
a year to maintain these children in
State institutions, to say nothing of
the cost for sheriff,s. fees and rail
road expenses, il viii also protect
them from the stigma of having been
placed in a State reformatory. Law
renee county is undertaking to pay
$500 a year for a probation officer
who will save more than this amount
to the county annually if but three
children can be kept out of State in
stitutions. zt ~e,as tAt
"By the new law juvenile courts are
established throughout the State

Priest Leads Prisoners.
Then began the exit of the prison
ers through the narrow entrance and
they were all marched through COM
munication trench back to French
regimental headquarters with an es-
cort composed only of the priest, his
stretcher- bearing comrade and the
French doctor. They were almost a
company and their arrival caused con-
siderable surprise at headquarters.
The little priest who always was a
favorite in the regiment, with which
he participates in all the hardships of
fighting and in constant exposure to
wounds and death, is now quite he
ro He never leaves the men to go on
leave and did not even go to Paris
when detachment of the regiment
went there to receive the decoration
of the knotted cord in the colors of
the military medal which has been con-
ferred on it for having been five times
mentioned in general army orders for
bravery. The One Hundred and Fifty
second is the only regiment in the
French army besides the Foreign Le-
gion which has won this honor.
AS a result of it's good work at
Hurtebise and on the California pla-
teau further east, the Chemin des
Danes is now almost entirely in
French hands. The ladies for whom
it was constructed would scarcely rec
ognize it in its present condition, for
there is not foot of its length which
is without a shell hole and the whole
Of the sheltering trees which formerly
lined its sides have all been torn away.
To discover why Hurtebise has at
tanned such prominence one has to
learn of its high Importance as a mil
itary position. 1t forms the highest

The Times editor is pleased to note
that our good friend, Charles L.
Woods, editor of the Rolla Herald, has
been rewarded for long and faithful
party service by being appointed on
the staff of Omar D. Gray, who was
recently selected as State Oil Inspect
or, Another old friend, George n.
Orear, of Marshall, has been made
chief clerk. Other deputies are: Hamp
Rothwell and DR.. E. C. Brand of St.
Louis, Thomas j. Walker of Independ-
ence, J. U. Watson of New London,
Rou Cherry of Goldberg, and R. j..
Wilson of Kingsville. That several
boys through the State are still look
ing for handouts is evidenced by the
fact that the new Oil Inspector had
received 1912 applications for the
eight deputyships, and 20 offers to
serve as chief clerk had also been re-
ceived, 1t might be very good idea
to reduce the number of State posi-
tons to a point where all appointees
would be compelled to work, which
possibly would dull somewhat the
glimmer of such positions. There is
popular belief that State job is a
private snap, and it seems that there
is more or less foundation for such
belief,

UNDESIRABLE CITIZENS

The undesirability of an overplu'
of foreign citizenship in any commun.
ity hasragain been made apparent in
st. Francois county. Something
more than one hundred foreigners in
the Lead Belt, who were called to re-
port on the recent draft, failed to put
in their appearance. Many of these
were perhaps among those who were
recently forced to leave the mining
district, as many of the notices call
ing on them to report in Pennington
for examination were returned to the
sender on account of inability to de-
liver same. But this only goes to
show that such a class of foreigners,
far below the average in intelligence,
cannot mix on an equal footing with
Americans.
There is another bad feature about
this large number failing to report
for examination. 1t may make neces-
sary second call for an immediate
draft, in order to secure the full quo
ia that st. Francois county has been
called upon to furnish. Such ne
cessity would not only entail much
additional time and expense, but will
again put the burden on American
boys, who will then be compelled to
go to fill the places for which some
of these foreigners would have. been
compelled to enlist. In other words,
the foreigners have been figured in the
quota from this county, and when
they fail to come up to the Scratch,
their places must be supplied from
those who remain, which in reality
makes the quota from this county
much larger than it would have been
had the foreigners not been, figured in
on the draft. Again are the American
boys legislated against.
You fellows who have been bowling
about the infamous manner in which
the foreigners were recently treated
in the Lead Belt, what will you think
of this feature of the case should
your own boy be taken on the second
draft? Yes, these things are all
right, just so long as you personally
are not "hooked in the drag.
