tiers, please. L. and r.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: l
have been a silent reader of the Let
ter Box for a long time. and my
daddy has been a subscriber of The
Journal longer than | can remember.
go to school and am in the seventh
grade, / am a guard on the basket
ball team. Believe me l enjoy such
sport, and also horseback riding,
fishing and driving the car. go to
Sunday school every Sunday can,
help mamma in the house and help
daddy on the farm. l am sixteen.
/ have two brothers and three sis
ters younger than myself.
Don't you all think Aunt Julia
is the sweetest woman in the world
to let US get acquainted with the
cousins in different states? [ am
from the dear old state of South
Carolina. All of you far.away girls
write to me and tell me about your
state. I will answer all letters and
cards from girls. ' Love to Aunt
Julia and all the cousins.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: AS
Aunt Julia has asked you and me to
help bring up subject for the next
contest, l think we should all send
our ideas in. Most of the cousins las
you may notice., write about living
on the farm and liking it fine. Why
not let THE Farm" be our next
subject. We could tell why we like it
the best (of course there are some
that like the city best). But it seems
to me that the majority of the
cousins like farm life best, and
wilt not say which l like the best
until we see what Aunt Julia has to
say about the subject. Both city
and farm have their advantages,
such as-I, will say in my next let
ter. I am sure there would be many
interesting letters written on the
subject telling why we like our
homes, and where we live. l also
bet every answer would be nearly
the same in purpOrt. Then Aunt
Julia could be the judge of which let
ter was best.s Of courst, there are
more good thing to write about, but
this is just one cousins idea.
\ Aunt Julia, I must thank you for
printing my other letter and hope
this one will meet with the same
luck, but in my last letter I asked
the loan of a book, The Light of
the Western Stars" and you forgot
to print my address, so I hope if
there was any cousin who could
have sent the book, he or she will
see this. And L want to tell them
[ will pay postage both ways, and
for them to write first.
Friends, 1 have a little puppy,
four pigs, ten biddies, and a little
calf for pets, since 1 was with you
last. I named my puppy "ShingI''
Sounds rather oriental, doesn't it?
Any way, he didn't originate in
Hong Kong, though he has learned
to says'chop, chop for "chow, chow, "
meaning hurry up for something
to eat. He has lots of sense, if II
is Chinese. If any Of you people
come to see me, you had better
learn the Eastern tongue if you want
to talk. to my dog. Oh, yes, Aunt
Julia, I looked awful silly sitting
at the top of your most honorable
page. I sure was proud to sit there,
and if some of the cousins don't
hurry and send in some pictures, 1
am going to send mine again, with
my cat and dog. 1 bet that will
bring them
By-by,
LEA RUSSELL,
Bolivar, La, Rt. ].
