Dear NJ. b. Friends:

Inc poem given above was taken from @
column in the Name Farmer which is
devoted to the same interchange OF
thought and experience as is ours.
Friendly letters have been exchanged be-
tween the editor Of that column and this
one, and the mutual work OF sympathy
and helpfulness is Tightening some of the
burdens OF housekeepers and giving cheer
to many hearts. Good comradeship helps
us on greatly in the life march we all keep
up.
L. E. T. sends us the following nice let
Ter and a recipe just in season for our
national holiday.
