Dear Folks:

Dear Folks:
A calamity has befallen me.

dough, filled with cream filling and
pinched together like a tart. Will
the writer when she reads this send
it to me again?
How many of you know the new
hemstitching? I call it new, for the
way it has been adopted is new. Of
course you have to put your de-
sign in the way the threads will
pull. You pull say four threads,
skip six and pull four more, then
you hemstitch from one row to the
other. The effect on the wrong
side is much what the old Shadow
work" used to be. 1t is quite ef-
fective if put in the corner of hand
kerchiefs, around a table square, an
inch or two above the hemstitched
hem, around baby's skirt, or in
rows down little sisters dress.
Cordially,
AUNT JULIA.

Dear Children

Dear Children
Our editor sent for me and he said
Now, Aunt Julia, I'm giving you
just lots and lots of room for your
children's letters, and I want you
to get them to write just as interest
inglyp as they cam Give less space
to descriptions of themselves and
more to their homes, their play
times, their ambitions and their
studies, the best letters only go in. y
1t would be lot merrier, wouldn't
it, if we told something besides just
what we look like. Now please don't
think I want you to cut out your
descriptions entirely, I like them as
well as anyone else, but don't go
into such details, just say you have
blue Or brown or gray eyes, fair or
dark or medium complexion, wheth-
er your hair is light or dark, and
your age if you wish to. Then go
ahead and tell us something about
your interests.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.

When the Legislature Meets in June

When the Legislature Meets IN June
In every successful business en-
terprise there is foresight and prep
aration for caring for all the
branches of the same. This is
positive necessity-or the whole
thing will be blocked with unfor-
seen mishaps and failures. The big
gest business in Georgia and the
most expensive, beyond comparison,
is the general business of the state.
If there can be a full understand
ing Of what has to be done, and
what can be saved in overhead ex-
penses, the people will be willing to
bear the heavy taxation that has
been heaped upon us since the year
1917 when the World war came
along and flung everything into con-
fusion if not chaos. There was no
attention given to the last leg.sla-
ture to curtailing expenses. The APP
preparations were gigantic. The
treasury was emptied as fast as it
was filled with tax money. The gov
ernor felt obliged to borrow, to the
constitutional limit, to pay the over
crowded pension and teacher lists.
More than 100000 were demand
ed by the common schools to pay
teachers, and there were the agri-
cultural schools, u in number, de-
manding each $4,000 per annum for
upkeep.
They made some new offices and
increased many salaries. The whole
business was top heavy and the
taxes enormous. The revenue to the
state from all sources was some
thing over S1O,OOO,OOO Jan. 1, 1922.
