a nice teacher; her name is Miss De-

and thirty cows, twenty-five calves
and one hundred pigs. l had puppy
named Flossy, but she was too naugh-
ty to the cats. | have nice dog now ;

cattle and pigs when Papa tells him
to. He makes them all go right where
Papa wants them to go. am too lit
tie to write so Mama is writing for
me. My two sisters, Gladys and Jes-
sic, were very much pleased with their
new membership cards. l will be glad
when l get mine. Please print this

bee, Lake Bluff, Illinois.
like to print letters like yours,
Earl; it was very nice and very inter-
esting and not ONE BIT too long. 1
am awfully glad that you like the club
so well, and l am sure your mama
must be pretty nice chum when it
comes to reading stories to her kid
dies-don't you think so? l think
good little boys (and girls too) always
like their teacher, especially when the
teacher is SPECIALLY nice-like
yours is; but MOTHERS are general
ly SPECIALLY nice too, and always
sure to be the very BEST friend we've
got. l hope you received your men,
bership card all right, and that you
liked it as we'll as Gladys and Jessie
liked theirs. hope your mama will
write another letter for you sometime,
Earl, for l was very glad to print the
one she wrote this time.
