| Dear Children: I am going to give
you an Honor Roll. We progress
, rather slowly this year, but we must
not get discouraged. We want all
the cousins to have part in our
good work and if we have TO go
slowly, why that is better than not
moving at all. Of course we want to
have a neat sum for our yearly
work in hand by Christmas, and
again let me ask you to either save
your mite or earn it yourselves,
your parents have their own chart.
| ties to carry on.
| Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.

ey you spoke about in your letter.
Dear Cousins: To those who feel
their lives are hard, I want to say
that if we cannot have just the
things we want or live just as we
desire. we can make the best of what
we have, and the way we live and
look for happiness makes us find
raise flowers, if only in box by the
door, and there is much pleasure in
watching them grow and bud and
the flowers open. There's always
some lovely things to see, no mat
ter where we live, for the sun rises
and sets, the stars shine and the sky
IS blue. We can find happiness if we
but try.
There's ever a song somewhere, my
| dear,
In the midnight black
Or the midnight blue. ...-,..
The robin pipes when the sun is
here,
And the cricket chirps the whole
| night through.
The buds may blow and the fruit
may grow,
And the autumn leaves drop crisp
and sere;
There's ever a song somewhere, nv
dear.
Emma Smith, I greatly enjoyed
your letter about George Washing
ton. Why don't more of you cous-
ms take some mans life and write
from the subject? Say, how many
! of you cousins have sent Mrs. J. B.
RouX, Lake City Fla, Route C, Box
81, some scraps of your dresses fer
! the little helpless cripple to make a
quilt? I am that much like Benia-
min Franklin. One time he bought
three ROLLS for his breakfast; he ate
one and gave the other two to a poor
woman and her child.
Edna M. Allen, tell some more
about your state.
With good wishes to all the cous-
| ms and Aunt Julia.

Kind Aunt Julia and Friends: I have lust
! finished reading the Council and saw so
many interesting letters from the cousins of
| dliterent states. l learned that South Car
| DINA was falling far behind, so l thought I
would write. Come on you South Carolina
boys and girls; the other states are getting
| ahead of us, land that will never do -
| trust Aunt Julia and the cousins are en-
| joying vacation fine. So many of the
| cousins are school boys and girls. 1 know
they are am school girl. You see, I
am judging you by myself. 1 will be in
the ninth grade next year. am anxious
! for school to begin. 1 agree with you, Miss
Hopkins about flowers. 1 love them N.Y.
self; they make any place look bright, also
make anyone happy to work among them.
! Some of the cousins write to me- 1 viii!
| leave my age for you to guess: it is be-
| tween fourteen and eighteen. Who has my
birthday, November 80? If anyone has, I
| would be pleased to hear from them. If the
| Letter Box gets any more interesting than
it is now 1 think Aunt Julia will have
| trouble keeping us away: don't you think
| so, cousinsY From your niece and cousin,
| NEATHA HAIGLER.
