NEW FEATURES


HERE are to be two new DEPART
ments for the Juniors after this
week. Both will interest Won all
greatly, l am sure, and hope that re-
spouse to both will be liberal.
All the Herald Junior boys and girls
like to write letters to Aunt Laurie. but
some of the smaller ones could scarcely
compete for the prizes, although in
many cases they have won prizes even
when there were many older writer's in
the competition.
Also I know there are a great many
boys and girls who are wonderfully
clever with the drawing pencil, and vet
who have small interest in story writ
ing or limericks.
The new departments of the Junior
will appeal particularly to these two
classes.
First, for the Littlest Juniors-This
is to be birthday feature, and I want
every Junior not over 10 years of age
who has had birthday this month to
write and tell me about it.
1t doesn't matter whether or not vour
father takes The Herald. for all the
boys and girls who write a letter to
Aunt Laurie become Juniors Also /
can promise surprise to every boy or
girl who writes and tells me about their
birthday anniversary. Be sure and
give your address, as well as school
and grade, when you write these birth
day letters, for the postman will bring
you something from me pretty soon
after get that letter, and of course
ne must know where to find you.
Then about the other girls and BOYS.
the young artists. I am not lust sure
how many we have of these, but I hope
there are a good many.
1 shall try several different plans for
these pictures, and decide which is the
best. For the present we will simplv
give you each phrase and let Won il
lustrate it. This week the title ga
Morning CalP' will suggest many ideas
to each one who tries to illustrate It.
Perhaps the boy who loves animals
will draw picture of his dog coming
to the bedside of his sick master. Some
one else may feel the idea best por-
trayed by showing a little girl with a
doll in her arm, greeting her little play
mate next door.
Then the most frequent morning call
ers we see are the men with bread.
milk, vegetables, or something of the
sort. Any one Of these ideas may be
used, and no doubt the little artists
will think of a great many more ways
of suggesting "a Morning CALI
For particulars regarding prizes in
both these contests read announce
ments elsewhere in the paper.
I hope every one of my Juniors will
write to me on the topic this week for
I want a great many letters regarding
the funny page" or comic supplement
I want every one to tell me just what
he thinks about it and how the mem
bers of his family regard that portion
of the paper, and I am hoping, oh, so
hard, that the Juniors will agree with
me in regard to it. OF course L am. not
going to tell you now what I think
about the paper, and the prize will not
go necessarily to the one who thinks
as 1 do, but will go to the girl or boy
who writes the best letter expressing
his or her likes or dislikes for the pic
lures and jokes he sees there, and his
reasons for so doing.
I hope that all my dear boys and
girls will enjoy the new features of this
paper as much as 1 have enjoyed plan
ming it for them, and will show their
appreciation by competing with spirit
for the prizes.
With much love for you all,
