Col. w. F: Harrell, who will be re-
membered by many Harrisburgers as
the officer who placed the Harrisburg
district recruiting office of the United
States army at the top of the list, is
now colonel commanding the Six
teenth United States Infantry in
France. When he left here he was
a major and reorganized- some COM
panies of the Sixteenth at Syracuse.
In France he was twice wounded
and twice gassed while with the Six
teenth. He is back in command of
the regiment now and does not know
when he will be home.
Colonel Harrell has the remark
able record of having entered the
Sixteenth when he left West Point,
and remaining with him practically
all OF his career with the army.
Mrs. Harrell and her daughters,
who will be pleasantly remembered
by many Harrisburgers, are now re-
siding at Denver.

Our Cartoon
This Week

The Times desires to call special at
tention this week to its cartoon, illus
trative of the road situation in St..
Francois county, as our artist sees it..
We feel that this cartoon brings out,
in most forceful manner, at least one
faulty characteristic which is dis
played by many Of those who are op-
posed to the building of permanent
good roads-that of selfishness.
The unbalanced one shown in the
cartoon is opposed to a good roads
bond issue, but the real reason for
such opposition is plainly discerned on
looking at the lower pictures, which
show that he already has a good road
in front of his place, which perhaps he
was aided in securing by the two other
parties he is now trying to convince
that a good roads bond issue would be
extravaganza. There is an alarming
amount of just this sort of selfshness
now creeping out in arguments OF
those who are opposed to good roads
bond issue.
They have the full use and benefit
of good roads, and are therefore op-
posed to extending such a boon to
Others. Of course they would not ad-
nit that such was the case-they
would even resent such an accusation
but if you will study the surround.
ings of those who are talking against
good roads bond issue, the chances
are very large indeed that they are
quite accurately represented in thi:
weeks cartoon.
Notice, too, the look on the faces
of his neighbors, which clearly indi
Gates that they see quite clearly tht
position of their neighbor on this ques
tion, in, which they are so deeply in
terested, and the fact that they per
haps assisted him to the good road ht
is enjoying, causes a slightly veilet
expression of disgust to shade theil
countenance. There is room for close
study of this cartoon, and especially
to all those who are fighting goot
roads bond issue for st. Francois coun
ty, there are several lessons to be OBJ
tanned therefrom. The Times man
agement is particularly pleased to b.
able. to present to its readers eacf
week such excellent cartoons, which
we believe is fully appreciated b.
many of our readers.

County Court
Inspects Roads

County Court was in session one day
last week and drew the Grand and
Petit Jurors for the next regular term
of the st. Francois county circuit
court, which will convene on Nov. 10th.
They also disposed of some other
pressing business.
The County Judges also spent sew
eral days in looking over and famil-
iarizing themselves with roads in diff
ferent parts of the county. They are
doing everything in their power TO
keep the roads of the county in the
best possible condition, which often
proves to be q somewhat difficult
task, with the small amount of money
that is usually at their command for
that purpose.
But they are doing their work re-
markably well, when it is considered
that the road fund is now, and gene
rally is, somewhat overdrawn. The
! Times believes that all of the County
Judges have reached the conclusion,
as anyone else would when put to the
task Of seeing to their upkeep as the
County Court is, that the one and on
ly way to provide for permanent good
roads is by voting good roads bond
issue. A term as County Judge will
convince anyone, The Times believes,
of the altogether surprising impor-
tance of permanent good roads
roads that will not have to be worked
over after every hard rain.
On Monday the County Judges held
another brief session and transacted
little business. They also visited
the experimental road, that is being
constructed at the entrance to the
Flat River road, for the purpose OF
inspecting the work that is under
way there. The work that is going on
there appears good, and the sample
will soon be ready to be opened up for
public use. 1t will be concrete sur
face roadway, on the old rock foun-
dation, which is as solid as the Rock
of Gibraltar. +,

Attendance Officer
Working Overtime

County School Attendance Officer
R. C. Tucker is working overtime dur
ing these first days of school, in get
ting things in shape for the proper en-
forcement Of the compulsory school at
tendance law. MIR. Tucker is strong
believer in rigid law enforcement, and
his voluminous daily mail is but
slight indication of the many duties
he is now being called upon to per-
form. He now has assistant attend
ance officers in the larger towns of
the county, which should relieve him
of many details, as such assistants
have been given every power possessed
by Mr. Tucker, except in regard to ex-
emptions from school attendance,
which still remains exclusively in the
hands of the Attendance Officer.
There are but three legal exemp-
tions to minors from regular school
attendance, and Mr.. Tucker is stick
ing close to the law. He has not yet,
nor does he propose to, issue single
exemption from school attendance un-
less the applicant comes under the
strict legal provisions for such eN
emption. The three legal exemptions
are: Mental incapacity, physical IN
capacity and completion of elemental
studies-8th grade work. He says 1t
is truly remarkable the many and va
ried excuses on which is based re-
quests for exemption. But he turns
deaf ear to all such requests, unless
they come under one of the three le-
gal exemptions. He requests The
Times to state that personal calls, as
well as letters, will be useless for the
purpose of asking exemption from
school attendance for any other than
the three reasons above stated.
He has been asked for exemptions
for children to assist the parents at
home for a few days., on most urgent
work, the parents representing, IN
some instances, that assistance OF
their children was necessary in order
to gather their crops, or break their
ground, as it was impossible to hire
| help. But even in such cases Mr..
Tucker has refused to grant the de-
sired exemption, feeling that such ac-
tion on his part would "pull the teeth"
from the law, which he feels he has
no right to do. However, he stated
| LnaU III SUCH NooSot '''NAN
the parent would have to assume re-
sponsibility for any prosecution that
might possibly ensue, that such pros
ecution would not be the result of any
action on his part
While in Bonnie Terre Tuesday Sc
lecting an assistant attendance Off
Ger and looking after other matters in
connection with his office, Mr.. Tucker
had his attention called to a case OF a
girl who was reported as being dere-
4 iict in school attendance, and upon IN
vestigation he found that the child
was married. While he had thought
that practically everything had been
"sprung on him" as Attendance Off
GER, he was free to admit that was a
new method of escaping school at
tendance. This child--or rather mar
ried woman--having neither parents
nor guardian to flight it out" with,
was left in the care and keeping OF her
husband, with the blessings Of At
tendance Officer Tucker. But he still
contends that the new compulsory at
tendance school law is really practical
