ENGAGING THE CHILDREN.

Mrs. Rosepha PuIford mas just re-
ceived from Congressman Franklin
Il. Brooks the following letter which
suggests an excellent idea:
Last year I sent out to you some
seeds for your school children.
In some of the counties these were
highly appreciated, and in others
did not seem to be in much demand.
The demands on my quota are in
creasing every year. If, however,
YOU desire, | shall be glad to furnish
you with a moderate supply again
this year.
In this connection I shall be glad
TO know what you think OF the con
tinned distribution. There is mucn
discussion as you know, and there
will be an earnest effort to stand by
the house committee which has rec
commended that this distribution be
dispensed with hereafter.
Kindly reply at an early date, as
wish to send these out not latei
than April 1st"
