Roosevelt on Peace"
Sank Centre, Mimi,
November II, 1887
Dear Mr.. Roosevelt:
I would like to express my ideas
en- peace to you. Peace is thing
that is possible but not probable in
the world today. AS sea it, nations
are rot content with just sitting
home. They want to increase their
territories. Nations like Great Brit
ain and United States have a strong
power that should be used for
peace.
The Red Cross is an organization
not only useful in war but in
peace. If there were more organi-
cations for peace, the people would
how harmful war is not
only to commerce, but to families
and the nation.
If fifty percent of the countries
were for peace, the other half
would follow their example, and we
could have a world safe for DEM
ocracy. Science then could go ahead
full speed in things that benefit
man. AS it is now, science is devot-
ing part time to both and can't go
ahead on the basic need Of the PEG.
pie. 1t pays to act now.
Your friend,

Vinny Applegay by Ethel Parton.
What would you think if your UNI
Gle gave you a pocketbook full of
money and told you to spend it all
in Central Park? Vinny wondered,
too, but she had fun riding the ca
mel that belonged to the Irish Turk
and eating all the popcorn and ice
cream that she wanted-for once.
And what was more, there was q
thrilling surprise waiting for her
when she got home. That's what
Vinny Applegay found when she
came to live with Uncle Lamb and
Uncle Drum in New York-one
nice surprise after another.
Vinny liked to play with her cou-
sin Maud. They bought elephants
CRATES and little three-cent hyen-
as at the crockery shop on Third
Avenue, and played with them in
the Enchanted Forest, which was
really Mr.. Frazier's dollhouse.
Vinny had other friends who liv-
ed near by. There were Waite Mac
Quarrie, the Scotch boy, going on
fifteen, and the seven handles.
What fun they had!
One evening when playing hide
and-seek, Vinny and George Man
dies discovered two dangerous bur-
glars! That's a thrilling part Of the
story, but we'll let you read all
about it and many other exciting
adventures in Vinny Applegay by
Ethel Parton.
The Castle Number Nine by Lud-
wig Bemelmans.
The good Baptiste lived all alone
on the top floor of a small white
house in small town in Austria.
Baptiste had a black cat and q
candle-stick. In his
closet hung his six fine liveries, one
for each day of the week, and an
extra special one Of purple for Sun
days and extra-spec.al days. The
people in the small town in Austria
could always tell what day of the
week it was just by looking at the
livery that the good Baptiste wore
Baptiste was very simple mar
and very lonely one. He was un
happy because he was homesick fol

newspaper that Count Hungerburg
