Children Must Attend
School Regularly
Selling Tobacco to Boys
Must Be Stopped

Frequent complaints having
been made recently to members OF
the Board of Education, of cases
of truancy and other infrsscsions
of the school laws, the Board de.
sires to call the attention OF
parents, guardians, and employers
of child labor to the State laws
governing compulsory education
of minors.
Said law provides as follows:
Every parent, guardian, or
other person having charge of any
child between the ages Of eight
and sixteen years, shall send such
child o public. private, or par
ochial school for the entire school
year. However. any child over
fourteen. who has completed the
eighth grade does not come under
this provision, and any child I'M
der fourteen who may be required
to help support himself or herself
or parents may claim exemption
from such requirement. But in
all cases where claims for exemp-
ton for such children may be
made either by themselves or
others, they shall make proper APP
plication to the superintendent of
schools for same, w,o will take
the matter under advisement, and
if upon due investigation, such
claim may be found worthy, a
written permit shall be issued
stating the reasons for exemption.
CHILDREN UNDER FOURTEEN NOT TO
BE EMPLOYED DURING
SCHOOL HOURS.
No child under the aye of four
teen years shall be employed by
any person or persons or corpora
ton while the public schools are
in session, unless the parent, guar
dian, or person in charge of such
child has been issued a written
permit for exemption as explained
above, and any such employer
shall require proof of such ex-
emption, which shall be subject to
the inspection o the truant officer,
superintendent, or any school di-
rector of the district. Any en-
ployer employing a child contrary
to the provisions of this section
shall be fined not less than $25 nor
more than 500
Under the school laws the truant
officer has authority to institute
proceedings against parents or
employers for violation of this act.
He is also authorized to make COM
plant to the county judge of
failure of parents or guardians to
compel their children to attend
school regularly, a fine being the
penalty for any recognition of
truancy.

 A letter from Clyde Dunlop, who enlisted last month, has been received by Earl Fortney, and, at this time of the re-or- ganization of the Home Guards holds especial interest.
 MT. Dunlop is at San Francis co and as yet has had little drilling because of measles and other slight misfortunes but writesof it t- 3'I surely have been out of luck on this drilling question. If it had not been for the drilling that I got in the Home Guard we had there 1 should have been behind. It surely came in handy and I would advise you to get all you can of it.

 30 pair of socks
 16 sweaters

 DO NOT tie knots in yarn for socks.
 If knot is found in yarn, break, double and knit for four or five stitches.
 Do Not Splice when toe is narrowed. If found to be nec- essary, break yarn and splice before the toe is narrowed.

FEDERAL FARM LOANS
AND THEIR NEED.

| The farm loan business of the fed
/ cral banks has assumed very great
/ Importance when considered from
the total of loans made in the past
two years. The change OF farm con-
ditions has made new demands on
the government since the present
system was developed The demand
today Is for small farms while the
present system encourages larger
individual holdings OF farm lands.
The present patrons of the land
banks are the farmers who have not
made their larger farms profitable.
They apply to the government for
help to perpetuate losing business
by paying interest on the debt which
measures the failure OF past years
and they hope only to pay back the
loan by advance In the price of their
land. an advance tina, will come
surely from the work OF better farm
crs.
The hope OF the country Is In the
small farm, and II In mistake to
help the land hog. who is riding to
a time OF better prices on the shout
ders OF the intensive tilier OF the
soil. The reclamation schemes OF the
government are our best hope of the
future. They are effective examples
OF segregation of vast waste places
into small tracts of great capacity
for crop production. Reclamation
calls for expenditures from the gov
ernment which can be justified only
by the requirement of small allot-
ments for intensive farming. The
system OF rural loans has an oppos-
Ing influence In the general field of
agriculture. The government should
bring moral influence to induce the
man who seeks federal loan to per-
petuate a losing business to subdi-
vide his farm and establish several
rural enterprises where
now one bad example and business
failure exists. The land hog should
De brought under some rule of rec
amation that would make every acre

There Is an existing reclamation
