Rules

"Help for the Helpless-KindnesS to
All Dumb Things"
No unsigned letters printed.
No letter written on both sides OF
paper printed.
All letters not to exceed $50 to 200
words.
Dear Children:
I have three "how-a- bouts" to ask
you, here they are:
How about your tree letters?
How about your health contest, are
you keeping your records?
How about the pictures for our
Album?
How about your fund for your
Benevolent Work?
Think these questions over and an
swer them in the proper way at the
proper time. You know the limit
set on our tree letters and our health
contest. You have asked for an AL
bum, so watch for your letters at
the head of the Column and send
your pictures. Only one boy, SO far,
has sent his as I asked, and I'm
saving that until he gets company,
that is unless you all remain too shy,
and then he shall have the glory Of
the album all to himself.
AS for our Benevolent Work, that
OF course remains in your hands.
Lovingly,
Aunt Julia.

hear the high-class music don't know what

country and heard the birds singing, cattle

bark of the faithful dog as he runs by his
| beloved masters side. chirpng of crickets,
| frogs croaking and, afar off, the faint bleat-
i, ing of little lambs and the tiEkle of cow
! bells. even the locust as he sings out his
prediction of hot day. Can any such sweet
| music be wrought by man? Daily SIR

cars, and the same bleak walls the year
