All letter not to exceed $50 to zoo
words,
| Dear Children:
Who has seen a blue bird? / mean
a real blue bird, not blue jay. Rid
ing in the other morning L saw three
beauties on a tree, and a little far
Their down the road flock Of robin
redbreasts My, but that was a sight;
they were the busiest set of tourists
you ever saw, scratching and dig
cling in his field where wheat had
been planted last year. 1 do not
believe that they left a single insect
for many yards around. We, who
live in the country, should certainly
protect our friends the birds. i see
some boys with sling shots and some
with air rifles trying to bring down
| our feathered friends, what pleasure
can it be to stop that little flutter-
| ing heart. If we will just bear in
mind the fact that those little birds
have a place in the scheme of things
and that they really help to make
! the crops that provide our daily
bread, l believe every boy will find
more pleasure in other things than in
killing birds.
Lovingly, AUNT JULIA.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Here I
am again after a absence of about six
| months. The year 1923 is gone and dead
| forever and let's make new resolu-
| tons for the new year, 1924, and see how
| many keep them. Let the past year of
sorrows, mistakes and regrets be buried
| and plan a bright happy future.
| Aunt Julia, the letters get better and
| better and l wish to thank you for print
| ing my last letter, and for the many new
| friends I've found through your paper.
