Dear children: I just want to write
you that my Cousins garden seems
to be coming along fine. Zinnias,
touch me-nots, marigolds, snake vine
seed. and many of the other seed so
kindly sent me are showing their
heads. OF course everything is a
bit late because of this cool weather,
bat I feel sure OF lovely garden,
thanks to your sweet generosity.
Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.

the following cousins for flower
seeds: Martha Adams, Live Oak,

Dearest Auntie and Cousins: IT., been
long time since l made visit to the corner
of the happy band, just thought I'd step in
minute or two. Wonder what you folks
doing these days? I've been going to
school. but out now. Oh. but l just
love to go to school, don't you, folks? !
think an education is about the best thing
one can get Education is something no one
can take from you. l think every one should
strive to get the highest education possible.
Just think of the advantages one has with
it and of the disadvantages without it. Just
suppose you couldn't read and write, you
would have to get someone else to read and
write for you and of course you couldn't
understand things like you do when you can
read for yourself. / think happiness is
aided by knowledge, and knowledge is one
thing that the more it's used the more you
have of it, the more strongly things are i'm
pressed on your mind. Then education aids
us in being able to see and know the beauty
of the things about us-the wonder and
beauty OF the works Of God and man. Edu-
cation, l think does not simply mean the
things we learn in school, out of books.
There are so many, many more things around
that we should know. and one kind of
knowledge helps us in getting another kind.
There are the things of nature. Mother Ma
ture is one of the most important of them
all. There are the people, birds animals,
flowers, the trees and ripping stredms and
ponds and lakes, each has beauty Of its
own. Every one has its own education.
There are pleasant and happy things about
the open fields of green. in the clear
waters of the streams, through the green
woods, among the flowers, in the valley and
on the hills, out in Gods own country with
the birds singing, the flowers blooming, the
sun shining and gayly .colored butterflies
like beautiful airshps sailing all about-is
not that education? And what is the cost
Of the knowledge of these things of nature?
Nature is clean, pure and thrilling. l guess
Id better run along and come again
another day. Some of you lonely farm girls
write to me il you want to. Just an old
cousin, (MISS) MILDRED BULCHER.

has made the corner so cozy for us all, and

to Auntie. and break none of her rules,
and / don't think any of the dear cousins
will do that.
How many like to go to school {? Yes, l
see lots OF hands; that is good. | like to
see all like to so to school. There is
boy or girl that should not like to go to
school, ! 80 and like to go; let's all strive
for an education while we can, for our
school days will be over, and il we
don't try and learn all we can we can
look back over the golden moments that
are forever gone, and regret that we can
never recall them; if we could it would be
different with us. Like most Of You cousins,
