Dear Children: In less than six
months the country has lost two of
it's leaders, first President Harding,
who died while holding the office of
president of the United States, and
ex.President Woodrow Wilson.
Both of these men worked in their
own ways for the peace Of the world,
both really gave their lives for their
country. If two such men can make
such a sacrifice of self, it seems to
me that it is as little as we can do
to try to be upright, law-abiding cit
liens,
There is selfish side to our doing
that, too, for if the country is filled
with such citizens, everything is just
that much safer for u.s. but above
the thought of self, We should put
the good of the world. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: 1t ha,
oe sel quite while since / wrote to thu
Corner and l wouldn't be surprised tt
know that many have forgotten that | eve
have written. Since I wrote last winter
i I've covered quite bit of territory, an{
one OF the many interesting places I've seer
is the battle fields at Gettysburg Pa
WHICH all the cousins have read Of in his
tory. 1t is quite interesting to see the
historic places with your own eyes. / re
member, while studying history l couIc
draw mental picture OF how things look
ed around the grounds. and while there
found that some were almost true as tht
original. There is East Cemetery Hill,
| and here occurred that memorable conflict
| known in history of the Gettysburg battle
| as the Louisiana Tigers Charge. monu
| ment was there of General r. e. Lee or
! Traveller the horse which carried hin
| To he of he
five years with the exception of three days
| Traveller lived to be twenty years old
There was ''Spanglers Spring from which
the wounded soldiers of both sides drank
water. 1t is now inclosed by neat struc
ture of granite. All people seem pleased
to drink from the historic spring. There
was the wheat field" where occurred
what is called the whirlpool of the bat
that upon no other place of equal extent OF
the American continent were many hui
man lives lost and so much human blood
shed. Wars should be stopped And there
terest, but space will not permit ME II
speak of all. Wish to get long lettel
from all.
