TRUANT OFFICER
TO EMF F0RCE LAW
TO LETTER HERE

Truant Officer lNrang Stubbs states
that while lie has been rather lenient
in the enforcement of the truant law
on account Of there being q scarcity
of labor for picking cotton. he now
sees no excuse for plrents to keep
their children out of school and here
after all who do not abide by the
law will be duly prosecuted
The penalty for keeping children
of school age from school, he ex-
plains, is a fine of $25 for each of
fense and each day of absence con
stitutes separate offense
The generosity of the law in pro
viding books and clothing to desti-
tute children makes truancy either
culpable negligence or wilful DISC
bedience OF the law, Mr. Stubbs
points out and requests thlt all COM
plants be filed with either him or
Superintendent T. T. Montgomery.

own Selection.

Washington, Jan. 6.-Early action
on his resolution asking for the APP
pointment of committee TO whom
shall be referred matters relating to
the welfare of ex-service men is be-
ing urged by Congressman Scott Fer
ris Of Oklahoma. Mr.. Ferris says he
Is of the opinion that the Mondell
bill, now pending, will not provide
what the former soldiers want, and
he advises the oklahoma City Post of
the American Legion the sooner we
get congress in motion on this propo-
sition the better"
The Oklahoma City post has made
its desires known to Mr.. Ferris and
other members of congress in the
form of a resolution that is signed by
Commander H. b. Hops and Adju-
tant Fritz Blumenthal.
An important objection to the Mon
dell bill found by the post is its fail
ure to give the eX-seryice men the
right to choose their town or coun-
try homes, either as to community or
state. The post asks that these men
be allowed to borrow money from the
government at low rate of interest
TO buy homes and that they be per-

October 10, 1919, that shall be repre-
sentative of the various sections of

"The present committee dealing
with this legislation has fifteen men
from the far west" says the post re-
solution. 1T Is our opinion that these
fifteen members (out Of 2D are more
desirous Of promoting reclamation in

The Ferris resolution provides for
the appointment of committee of
