vice for ali of u.s. if would only give them lodg
ment in our minds and ponder over them until
we thoroughly understand them, and then practice
them.
Cousins, how many of you have written 81 for
'o2? Ihave made that mistake several times this
year.
We hear hard times ringing all over the country
now ahd if the people call this hard times what do
they call the times during the war? l think when
we commence complaining about times being SO
hard now, we ought to think of the war times aud
sink back into gopher hole, and stay there until
we think that every one has forgotten what we
were complaining at, Do you not think so?
Cousins, let's try to fill our page so that there
will not be any space left for advertisements,
wish some one would send me the words to Nellie
Gray. If they will, will send them some knit
ting patterns if they wish them.
