Dear Children:
Have you ever saved the seed from
your oranges or grapefruit and
planted them? Try it, Of course, I'M
less you live in very warm coun-
try you won't have fruit, but you
will have the prettiest, most orna-
mental bush imaginable.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: You have
such splendid motto for the letter box
that l just have to say something in re-
gard to it. Help for the helpless is used
by more people than kindness to all dumb
things" This is my reason for writing.
We should always be kind to these things
created by our most high Ruler.
Think how cruel treatment hurts them
and wounds their hearts, even If they can t
| talk. bird, for instance, can't talk and
| tell you how sorry they are over the loss
of their nest and eggs by some heartless
| from wounds received by stones thrown
by some unthoughtful person. We should
| strive to be better and this would be pleas
| ing to our God to be kind to all His dumb
things. He has created to do part in this
world and for our benefit.
| Cousins, let's live up to the motto of
the letter box, think seriously over this
and when you have, drop me line, any
