contributor sends rs the following for publi-

Mr.. ED1roR - thought would write an
other composition FOR you, as you published
the Others I sent you. should think you
would be glad to have composition sent in
once in while. Making paper all out Of
ones head must get to be tedious business
sometimes.
am going to try to write able articles for
you whenever do write. can do it eve
nings. think an able article, now and then,
rather improves a newspaper, don't yOu?-
Taey don't want to be stuck in too O.ten,
cause newspaper readers in these parts
ain't used to them, but occasionally able ar
ticles may be put in, to fill up. If you had
rather I wouldn't write one Of these able fell
Iers only once in 4 great while, let me
know, for can make them just as

If you had rather wouldn't do any jokes in
my able articles you can leave that out. Burn
this note as soon as you read it, NEDDIE.
I can't write so well about Spring as car
about Winter. You see was born in the
Winter, and being ten years old I have seer
eleven Winters to ten springs-one Winter
ahead.
Brother Bob, who has been looking ovei
my shoulder, says ought to leave it to cork
leg men to write on springls.) He ought t.
be ashamed himself, taking of folks cork
legs.
As an able article can't be written without
