Dear Children:
When we had our ice storm the
other day T had fine chance to
see how many friends we had. :.
We kept the water dishes filled
with fresh water, watching to see
that it was not left in a frozen state,
then we scattered bread crumbs and
some grain around the windows.
My, what flock of birds we did
gather! Red birds, hooking birds,
robbins, and of course the blue jays
and the sparrows, all were welcome
and their presence kept the days
from seeming nearly so gloomy.
Please remember your fur and feath-
err friends on bitter days. You know
our motto. Lovingly,
EAUNT JULIA.

one of Gene Stratton Porter's books,
"a Girl of the Limberlost." 7 like.
toiread good books and Gene STRAIT
ten Porter is one of my favorite
authors.
I am a Georgia girl and live on

co, watermelons, sugar cane and
most all kinds of vegetables.
I go to a rural school about two
miles from my home. I have to
leave for school very early so as to
get there on time. l don't like to be
''tardy." We play games at recess
and noon. Our favorite games are
s'1'ha Farmers in the Dell'' and
"Ball.'

every state, you will be sure to get
an answer.
