Poem to the Happyhammer club:
All come and join the Happyhammer club.
Bright children of the land,
And always hammer happiness,
And give a helping hand.
The many crlpples in our State,
So helpless and so sad,
L is the golden rule above
That We should make chem glad
We give cheerful words to the distressed
They are like healing balm,
Our days forever will be blest,
And in lifethey help us along.
We are the authors OF goodly deeds.
Come. join our happy band.
We are the merry Happyhammer club.
Our home is Dixie land,
Catherine Willis.

Burke, Texas.--Dear Haphammer: Good
arfHHs IVA I vxst1 . DO,
the time is drawing near for the contest
to close and / wish 10 cast my vote for
the brave r. P. Hobson. We would not
think OF voting for him only because he
is a Southerner as some of the Haps
suppose. but simply because we think
him the real hero OF the Spanish-Amerl-
can war. Bonnie Belle. your dream was

Volney, Texas-Dear Haphammer: mere
comes another Hobson Hap. Please let
me nave a seat near Arthur Dawson l
think Arthur displays very little CALAMITY
in designating ais girls as good for moth
ing" l don't believe Arthur is the kind
OF boy that the Haps think he is. He
lust wrote as he did to create more in
terest and to bring our brightest stars
back to the page. That's my opinion,
anyway. This club is the most Interests
ing as well as tee most useful young peo-
pies club that ] know of. Where could
we find better writers than Philip Web
ster, Roy Lee and Maude Fondren2 1
think this page has improved wonderfully
since last year, Why can't we hear from
we are getting interested in you You
too good writer to leave us just when
we are getting interested in on. You
dreamers come along and dream some
more. Find enclosed 8 cents for the help
ing fund. Adieu. Village Pride.
