JSSSJP " J "'" mm Ernest L.Reeker "Nobody Pays Any Atten tion to Me" "He's a bad egg," the truant of ficer was reporting to the juvenile court. 'Something will have to be done with him because the other boys feel that if Hartley can get away with defying the truant offifcer, they can.'too." Hartley, aged 12, and his father were cited to court, and Hartley promised he would attend school faithfully. True to his word, he was in school regularly, but one day he brought too much money with him and distributed it too freely among his friends, making his teacher sus picious that all was not right. Finding himself once more in court, Hartley, having no excuse to do otherwise, simply told the truth. He spent his after-school houfs in the office of a trucking concern, where he was always welcome be cause of his association with the trucker's son. It had been easy to take the money while no one was in the room. He had spent it, not for himself, but for his friends, among whom he had always been popular. "Hartley," the judge pointed out, 'you are a normal, bright boy. You possess everything a boy's heart could desire a comfortable home, a good father. Why do you commit an of fense that is disgraceful to him and humiliating to your two 'sisters?" "Gee, I never thought of it that way. I guess tne reason I did It Is that nobody at home pays any at tention to me. Dad is aways away working when I'm home. My older sis i3 busy cooking and cleaning up the house, and my younger sis is off somewhere about her high school af fairs. There just isn't anything for me to do around home evenings." Hartley's intelligent father express ed himself as guilty, for his son's de linquency because. of neglect and In- AVOCA NEWS 1 The" ladies: of .tJEie.jCorfcrejiStiofla.l church held a food sale at the base ment of the church last Saturday evening when they offered te furnish ings for the Easter dinner.

Getting: in the Spring Work. Rev. J. M. Kokjer Is an enthusiast in growing of small friuts and. vege tables, and was out the first of last week getting the gardens ready for the now rapidly onrushlng spring, with Its large amount of spring work. He was trimming his grape vines when he happened to remember the chickens were out of feed and hasten- sisted upon reimbursing the trucker for the money the boy stole. The judge ruled, however, that Hartley must get a job and pay his earnings to the court untif the amount had been entirely repaid. Hartley was placed on probation to his father, who thereafter spent two evenings per week and all day Sunday in his companionship. Un questionably the boy's life had been disrupted by the death of his mother three years before. The older girl, who clerked in a store by day, had all she could do to manage the me chanics of the household. One job Hartley found was that of assistant janitor of his church. After the boy had apparently been behaving well for four months," the pastor came into court, a bitterly disappointed man. Hartley, he said, had on three occasions taken a small amounts of money, less than a dol lar each time, from the collection. Again hailed jnto court, Hartley begged so hard for "just one more chance" that it was granted to him, together with the outline of some new rules to follow. As a constant reminder of his of fenses and the faith other people had in him, Hartley was given added op portunities to steal more money, if he so inclined, or to prove his strength in the face of temptation. He proved his worth. After the episode of the church collection his school work began to improve, and he joined the Boy Scouts. He has been recommended for discharge from probation and has now progressed in Scouting to the stage where no Boy Scout ha3 ever been known in this country to be brought before the court. ed'to the elevatorjfor the feed and then back to the grape vines, which he says are-notifai good condition and should tie trimmed heroically to produce the best gijapes. v Early Candle Lighting.
