haven't been reading the Letter Box enough,
Won't some one write and tell me about IT:
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: ] have
observed that there is considerable dis
eussion concerning the use of cosmetics,
directly almost wholly, I believe, toward
the girls. Perhaps great deal of this
discussion is due to the simple fact that
must have something TO talk about.
Therefore. l sincerely hope it will he per-
misSible for me TO attempt expressing my
views this subject. In my opinion, it is
each and every girls privilege to exercise
her own judgment in the use of these
beauty p"epa ratons. If a girl possesses
an unatiractiye appearance and the appli-
cation of these beauty prepare lions will
enable her to improve it to any extent
hasn't she n perfect right to apply them
her taste may dictate? Don't We all
like to attractive girls? There, of
course we do! | also believe that some
Of MS young men are being accused Of
using powders. Well. perhaps no one will
doubt the truthfuness of this acctlsa ton :
IL girls and boys would not do anything
worse than paint and powder, why, this
world would he mighty fine place in
which to live. Now. wouldn't it? ! would
be pleased to hear from some Of the |cousips
if they care TO write to farmer boy. :"
Sincerely. HUNT f. WOODY.

Dear Children:
L am going back to my old theme,
fires. This time Of the year when
we go nutting, hunting or camping,
it is often the case that we build
fire, either to cook meal, or pos
sibly on a chilly evening, just to
warm by.
A fire built like this and not
watched, a spark left burning after
we leave the spot, may result in the
loss of forest and all the little live
things therein. Won't you bear this
in mind, NEVER LEAVE A FIRE
OR A SPARK. TRAMPLE OUT
and when possible soak the spot
with water.
Just bear in mind what the result
of your carelessness may mean.
Lovingly,

On motion made the chair was in
structed to appoint a committee OF
three to perfect the Apple Growers
Association, draw a contract, for its
members. this contract to be based
on the desirable features OF the Mains
plan. The committee appointed con-
sists OF X. A. Grifiiths. NJ C. Hinshaw.
and A. l. O'Rcilly This committee
will hold their first meeting at the
Farm Bureau Office at O'Clock Thurs
day afternoon September o. At this
time this committee will also meet any
cash buyer or selling organization
who wishes to meet them.
A thorough discussion OF the apple
situation brought out the fact that
while the National apple crop this
year is above the ten year average,
there is a marked decrease of the 1923
crop over that of 1922 and the apple
growers felt that in as much as no
buyer was willing to state cash price
that if they had to roll the apples be-
fore they were sold they could do that
themselves. The Association has
among its members in the neighbor-
hood of 200 cars of apples which con-
sist principally of Jonathans, Wine
saps and Rome Beauties. about 60qt
OF which are Jonathans.
The Association adjourned to meet

These suggestions are made solcy
in the interest OF the water user. with
full realization that all things which
are beneficial to the farmer in these
irrigation projects are likewise bene-
fetal to the Government.-the inter
ests OF one is identical with the inter-
ests OF the other. To continue this
condition OF chaos and confusion is
a serious detriment not only to the
agricultural interests of the project
but to all lines OF business as well. 1t
