Dear Children: This is the time of
the year when many Of you go nut
ting or hunting, and 1 want to call
your attention again to the danger
Of forest fires.
A carelessly dropped match, burn
ing leaves, may cause a fire that

lives.
If it is EVER necessary for you
to strike a match while in the woods
please be sure that the light is out
before you leave it.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.

Dear Aunt Julia: Will you please admit
| a Georgia girl into your happy band of jolly
| boys and girls? 1 am going to school now
and like it fine. Am studying the seventh
| grade. Guess I will describe myself, SO
| don't fanybody get frightened and run:
have dark brown hair, blue eyes, fair com.
plexion, and weigh 100 pounds. So, there
| Everybody can resume their seats. 1 live
in the country, five miles from the nearest
| town, which is Lumber City. Wouldn't ex

of food crops which we may be able
