| My Aunt Julia and Cousins: With
| pleasure l am writing this letter, and
trust that / shall be accepted as one
| of your cousins.
Until recently have not paid any
attention to this column. But have
| studied it very closely for the past
rev weeks, and truly | believe it is
one OF the very best have ever seen,
| and have seen such columns and
| clubs from all over the world. Real
! ly there isn't many 1 haven't seen.
Aunt Julia conducts her part eXcep-
| tionally we'll, yet simple and in
way that appeals to all. / think that
some of the letters are great, and
| that there is a lot of good that can
! be learned that would not otherwise
besides the pleasure it carries. 1t
just makes us forget our troubles
to read the different letters and Aunt
Julia's talks.
am Cor think 7 ann young
| man; live on farm and have been
through high school. I have a
printing office and do a lot of work
in the printing line. I develop and
print pictures for the public, sell
goods, repair watches, do some farm
work and have the best time that [
can. So you see why I think / am a
man. am busy at something most
OF the time from early It'll late, and
yet there is nothing l like better than
to have something worth while to oc-
cupy my mind and body. I believe
that there is lot of the young folks
now that do not have enough to do
IND themselves in bad company and
then lose all care. Remember What
George Washington said? "Associ-
ate yourself with men of good quail
lty, If you esteem your own reputa-
tlon; for it is better to be alone than
in bad company"
Any of the cousins that Aunt Julia
lets enter her page, think, is worthy
of association.
Now, probably you want to know
my age, or some of you. Well, Fam
gong to let you guess at it, and if
Aunt julia doesn't object am going
to make this offer to the ones that
guess it. To the girl that guesses
my correct age I will send fifty nice
name cards printed and a SKI en-
largement of her photo. To the bow.
l viii give fifty envelopes and fifty
ietterheads printed. My age is be-
tween eighteen and twenty-five, and
my birthday is in the month of De-
tober. Send your guesses.
want to hear from all YOU girls.
and boys, too. I make friends with
| all.
Come on, you North Carolinians,
III be one of you. / believe we are
ahead of the other states. Let's keep
it up.
! could write lots more. but had
better not impose on Aunt ,Julia's
good nature too much to begin with.
All letters will be answered i'm
mediately. That's my slogan, "Serv-
ice that pleases."
With best wishes to all, I am,
Your jolly cousin,

| Dear Aunt Julia: [ decided I
|
again as it has been quite awhile
| since nave written. Guess all
| the cousins have forgotten me.
L am teaching school and like it
| fine. But I miss all my school
mates. I think [ had much rather
go to school. Every boy and girl
should strive to get an education,
| for it is an awful thing to think
| about going along being nothing
better than a perfect ignoramus.
| With the splendid schools and great
advantages that we have now it is
| possible for everyone to get some
| education. The harder we have tn
| work for 1t the more we will APP.
| preciate it.
How many of you cousins like to
read? Oh, my! Just look at the
| hands. 1 just love to read good
stories. But I do not get very much
time for reading now.
Must go to school now If any
| of you care to write to a Happy go
lucky" girl of nineteen. will assure
you an answer

the temptation to write just a few
lines. Will you admit boy from

to hear from all between 10 and 80
years of age. Will say [ am between
