AUNT JULIA'S
LETTER BOX
Dear Children:
Your aunt, who so often comes with a little sermon for you,
wants to tell you how some of her sermons are taken when they go
forth in personal .letters.
Very often a letter comes to me that I feel‘needs a personal
reply, although none was asked, and very often I have to do a little
taking to task, and never once has there failed to come a reply thank
ing me and written in the best possible spirit. It gives me great
happiness to have this the case. I don’t offer you suggestions or
corrections because I feel out of sorts about what you write, but
because I want the people with whom you come ifi contact to think
you are just the merriest, best behaved set of youngsters in the
world. Lovingly,
AUNT JULIA.
Dear Auntie and Cousins: Please let me
in. It's raining here and I’m afraid I’ll
slip down and get muddy, for I am a crip
ple girl. Thanks; may I sit by you, aun
tie, please? All of you close your eyes
while I describe myself: Am four feet
nine inches tall, fourteen years old, weigh
125 pounds, have dark hair and eyes, me
dium complexion, and am in the sixth grade
at school. I can’t go to school when it’s
bad weather, but sure do like to go when
I can. Our teacher taught we girls to tat
last winter. I sure do enjoy tatting. Will
some of you cousins please send me some
samples. I saw Yvonne’s picture and
though she was so cute. I will send Jier
some tatting next time. I have for pets,
my baby brother and a white chick. I have
two sisters and four brothers. I am the old
est. Please excuse me for staying so long,
auntie, I forgot. Girls, please write to me.
Your cripple niece and cousin.
ZELLA MAY HORTON.
Shuford, Miss.
Dear Aunt, Julia and Cousins: I wrote
to the letter box once before and my let
ter was printed, so I have courage to try
again. I think the letters are very inter
esting. Some of you northern cousins could
entertain us delightfully with stories of the
northern country, for not many of the south
ern cousins have ever visited in the north.
If any of ypu who have never seen cotton
growing will write to me and send postage
I will send you some bolls of cotton as it
grows. The first stalk of cotton I ever saw
was certainly a curio to me. I will not
describe myself for I don’t want you all
to know how I look. Love to Aunt Julia
and all the cousins.
LILLIE ROGERS.
Ringgold, Ga., Route 1.
Dear Aunt Julia: How are you and the
cousins this warm Sunday afternoon? How
many of you are going to school thiff year?
I am for one. If, of course, you will per
mit me to call myself a cousin. I am a
freshman in high school, or the ninth grade.
The Florida legislature recently made a law
compelling every boy and girl under six
teen years of age to go to school. It is
a good law, too, I think. I will be six
teen years, of age the 30th of January,
1920, but I’m not compelled to go to
school, as I am in the ninth grade, the law
providing that any one past the eighth
grade is exempt. Igo just the same. I am
a farmer’s son, and I like farming fine. Be
cause of a misfortune to my father, I have
had most of the farm work to do this year.
We get The Journal twice a week, and
I enjoy every page of it, especially the
letter box, the editorials and Mary Mere
dith’s page. I am 5 feet 10 inches tall
and weigh 136 ppunds, gray eyes, medium
complexion and <lark hair. Some of you
cousins write to me. Your cousin,
MILTON WILLIAMS.
Chipley, Fla., October 5, 1919.
Hellow, Aunt Julia and Cousins! It has
not been so long since I wrote you, but
thought I would write again.
Cousins, I wonder what you all are do
ing these awful hot days. The reason I
am writing the 11th of this month is be
cause that is my birthday, and would like
very much to have a letter shower. Won’t
all you cousins be kind enough to send me
a letter? And if any of you want to have
one on your birthday I will do the same.
Aunt Julia, I have sent 10 cents in two
of my letters for the French baby but did
not see my name on the list. Would love
to know if they were lost or you just for
got to print it. I am breaking the rule
by writing so long a letter and will close
now. as I don’t want Mr. W. B. to get it.
Now, cousins, I am going to expect let
ters from all of you on the 11th. Don’t
disappoint me. Am sending another dime
for the baby.
AGATHA POE.
Westville, S. C., Route 1.
Dearest Auntie and All: May I, too,
enter into this happy corner? I have been a
heretofore silent reader of the Letter Box.
Auntie, you’re such a dear. I do enjoy
your talks so much; they’re so instructive.
Well, cousins, what are you doing these
days for pastime? Do you like to read?
I’m just wild about reading. Cousins, if
some of you will kindly send me “The Eng
lish Orphans’’ and “Daylight and Dark
ness’’ I will pay postage, or any other good
book would be appreciated beyond expression,
and returned.
I suppose you're waiting for some kind of
description, so here it is: Dark hair and
eyes, medium complexion, 4 feet 3 inches
tall. Now, how do you think I look. Good
by. Write to me, cousins.
Your devoted niece.

Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins; Here comes
another Georgia girl to chat a while, if
only Aunt Julia will let me sit beside the
Mountain Bachelor and Willie Perkins. I
am a girl of sixteen, with brown eyes,
auburn hair, medium complexion, 5 feet 5
inches tall, weight 131 pounds. Hush laugh
ing, Luther Huff, for I'm not so ugly after
all. I see more letters from Georgia than
any other state.
Will some of you South Carolina kids
please send me Bessie Mae Douglas’ ad
dress? Yes, Mr. Pressley, I can tell you
where to put up a drug store —at Charing,
Ga.—so don’t forget the car ride.
I will soon be going to school, so, cousins,
I will get lonesome, and every one of you
write to me and I sure will answer every
card and letter I received.
Please print this, as I've written three
times, but guess Mr. W. 8.. was hungry
when they arrived. I will close by asking
a riddle: Four feet and can’t walk; one
tongue and can’t talk? Now, cousins, please
write to LIZZIE REE DILLARD.
Charing, Ga., Route Is Box 15.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
admit me into your corner for just a mo
ment. Perhaps I would like it much better
if I could get a seat beside some of you
good-looking girls. I wonder how many are
like myself, “on the go?’’ Os course I
haven’t anything else to do just now,
I went over to Dillon, S. C., to an auto
race last week. It was just grand, though
it was too bad one of the fellow* got killed
and then most burned up under the car.
Well, I am just a little boy of twenty
three years, black hair and eyes, medium
complexion, weigh 128. Would like to cor
respond with just lots of you cousins. I
will answer all letters and cards.
FRED M’PHATTER.
Fairmont, N. C., Route 2.
P. S. —Inclosed find 10 cents for the little
girl.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I have
been reading the letters of your Letter Box
for a long time and have always enjoyed
them, especially the older boys and girls’
letters. Aunt Julia, I think you are doing
a good work and I think you should be
dearly blessed. I see the cousins have been
helping you, too, so I am sending my mite
for Yvonne. As I am a new cousin, I will
describe myself, but I see Mr. W. B. com
ing, but here goes: Fair complexion, black
hair, brown eyes, five feet four inches tall,
weigh even 100 pounds. Will not tell my
age. If anyone wants to know, just write
me and I’ll gladly tell you. Rebecca Camp
bell, I. H»to, like to read books and let
ters. You can find the book you mention
ed at this address: F. B. Warner Co., 96
Chambers street, N. Y. Say, cousins, take
the above hint and write me. Will answer
all letters received. How many of you like
to study Latin and Algebra? I like to
very well. I agree with you, Luther Huff,
I think Aunt Julia ought to adopt a French
boy. too. I am sure all the cousins will
help you and I know I’ll "try. Well, as
this is my first letter, and Aunt Julia said
not write long letters, I will close, hoping
to see this in print. Your new niece and
cousin.
MAUDE CROCKETT.
Carrollton, Ga.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will you
please admit another Georgia girl into your
happy band? I have been reading the dear
old Letter Box for some time and think it
most interesting. Say, cousins, what do you
do for pastime? I read and write; my sis
ter and I play the organ and sing. I am
interested in music. How many of you dear
cousins read the “Dark Star?’’ It sure is
interesting. Say, I guess you all are won
dering how I look, so I will tell you. Here
goes: Blue eyes, very dark hair and very
light complexion; not very tall; my age 1
will leave for you cousins to guess; it. is be
tween sixteen and eighteen, and my weight
is about 119 pounds. I sure am iir favor of
Aunt Julia adopting the little French
orphan. I think it just grand of her. Come
on, you Georgia boys and girls; 1 think
Georgia is a grand place myself, even if
there are people trying to throw off on it.
Aunt Julia, please print this. If I see it
in print I will come again. Well, as my
letter is getting rather long, I had better
obey the rule and go. With love to Aunt
Julia and the cousins.
Your new cousin and niece,
IONE WIGLEY.

MARY MEREDITH’S ADVICE
TO LONELY GIRLS AT HOME
Hereafter Mary Meredith will answer no letters unless the full
name address of each person asking advice is given in the let
ter. No names will be published at aijy time in this column, but it
is lecessary that the editor know from whom the letters come. Let
ters should be short, not more than 75 words when publication in
the paper is requested, and they should be written as legibly as
possible on one side of the paper only.
Letters not signed with the full name and address will go
into the wastebasket in the future.
I am an orphan girl sixteen years
old and married. I had to stay with
my sisters and brothers, and when
I was fourteen years old they forc
ed me to marry a man I hated be
cause he was wealthy. I told my
people I did not love this man be
fore we married. They said I could
learn to love him. After we mar
ried I tried to learn to love him, but
he treated me so cruel until I could
not learn to love him. I don’t love
him, can’t love, nor never can love
him. He says he doesn’t love me
and that he doesn’t care how bad he
treats me. He has whipped me sev
eral times, but my people don’t seem
to have any sympathy for me.
Please tell me what to do. If I quit
him I can’t go back to my people,
and I can’t live with him. My hus
band knows I do not love him and
was forced to marry him. Do please
print this and pardon me for writ
ing so much. I have no children.
ANSWER—If you have nt>
children, leave him. Go to the
pastor of the church nearest you,
tell him what you have told me,
and tell him that you do not
intend to stay with a man who
abuses you in any such manner
and ask him to arrange for you,
through hjs ministerial connec
tions, to go to some home where
you will be looked after while
you prepare to earn your living;
and then learn some kind of
work that will enable you to
support yourself. If you are so
fortunate as to be able to make
these arrangements, have noth
ing whatever to do with men in
the future until you are old
enough and wise enough to judge
them correctly and have suffi
cent will-power to refuse to ac
cede to commands or requests
that will mean unhappiness for
you. The humblest and hard
est sort of work is preferable
to' marriage without love, even
when a man knows what he
owes the woman whom he has
promised to love and cherish.
No man has either a moral or a
legal right to whip his wife;
and, personally, I would starve
to death rather than live with
one who had dared to use his
superior strength in any such
manner. However, there is no
need for that, as the world is
full of opportunities for those
who have courage and initiative,
who are anxious to learn and
willing to work steadily and
earnestly. Let me hear from
you again.
I am about seventeen years old.
have brown hair, grey eyes, and
fair skin. What is good to take off
sunburn? My neck is very boney.
Can you tell me how to make it fill
out? Is it proper for girls to smoke?
When you hear anything about your
self that is not true, how can , you
stop it? How can I manage to be
popular? The boys seem to like me
but don’t seem to care to go with
me. How can I have more girls
come to my home? I Invite them of
ten but they don’t come, and I am
sure that I treat them nice. How
can I be popular with the girls?
When I want a boy to come to see
me, Mow can I let him know?
LAUNA.
ANSWER: Sour buttermilk,
lemon juice, and oatmeal poul
tices (not too thick) will re
move sunburn. The buttermilk is
best. Massaging your neck with
cocoa-butter, if done patiently
for from four to six weeks,
every night and morning, will
help your neck to fill out. It is
not proper for girls to smoke.
The only way to stop unpleasant
things, is by always behaving
ih such a manner that nobody
who knows you will believe ugly
things against you.
A girl who *is good-tempered,
who never says ugly, unkind
things about people, who is con
siderate of the comfort of those
about her, who is not ashamed
to do kind little things for peo
ple older, and poorer, and a girl
who is jolly and friendly, is al
ways popular. It isn’t easy
to do, but when you start out
and try hard, you can accom
plish wonders.
Why not ask a lot of girls
and boys over to your house
some night, and have a candy
pulling. Don't be formal and cer- ,
emonious about it—just take
them ouj into the kitchen, and
make them feel perfectly at
home. And, after the candy is
pulled, you can play games, un-.
til time to go home. If you try
to see that everybody else is
having a good time, and show
them that your main object, as
their hostess, is to have them
enjoy themselves, I’m sure they
will all go home saying. "Why.
what a nice girl she is—lots of
fun. I had no idea she was so
nice.” And, having started this
impression, you must keep it
growing, by being the same sort
of girl always. Emerson says:
“The best way to have friends
is by being one.”
I am fourteen years old. 1. Am 1
too young to go with boys? I have
gone with them several times, but
don’t care anything about them.
2. What will remove freckles? 3.
What will remove pimples? 4. How
old should a girl be when she mar
ries? 5. When a boy breaks a
date, should the girl go with him
any more? 6. When a boy and
girl meet on the street which
should speak first, the boy or the
girl? 7. Is it proper to go horseback
riding on Saturday afternoons? 8. Is
it all right for girls of my age
to correspond with boys? 9. Is it
proper for boys and girls to go to
walk on Sunday afternoons? 10.
Should a girl let her girl-friends
read the letters she gets from boys?
11. Is it all right to go car-riding
if there is more than one girl
along? 12. What can I do to make
my hair grow?
DOROTHY.
ANSWER; 1. Yes, except as
friends when there are other
boys and girls along. 2. Lemon
juice, or buttermilk. 3. Wash
ing the face with very hot wat
er, and good soap, rinsing in hot
water, followed by a dash of
cold is very good. 4. At least
twenty, better, twenty-two or

Reduction of watermelon losses
from 20 per cent in 1918 to 2 per
cent in 1919 is an example of re
sults from treatment of watermelon
stems against the stem-end rot in
fection, according to the bureau in
dustry, United States department of
agriculture.
Much loss was prevented in the
southeastern states in the past sea
son by spraying for the watermelon
disease, anthracnose. The organism
which causes the trouble attacks the
vines in the field, killing the foliage
and lowering both the yield and
quality of the fruit. By covering
healthy vines with a spray solution.
Bordeaux mixture, they can be pro
tected.

THE STORY ©F MARIAN SWANN
CHAPTER VIII
Os course we lived in the big
house with his mother. She’d not
be parted from her only son. The
pi-ide of her heart!
There was nothing for me to do
except seek amusement as a time
killer.
Servants run the place. It used to
make me tired the way they bossed
everything. Philip’s mother appeared
perfectly content with matters as
they were, and entertained, and
visited and frittered the days away
in reckless abandon.
I didn’t care for the life there, but
loved the parks and swimming,
plunges and open spaces.
I rode much, with Philip, and
that helped make long days endur
able. Philip’s mother reminded me
of some beautiful statue, too mag
nificent to touch. She was very re
served and cold in her nature, and
oftentimes I’d grow most uncomfor
table with her eyes boring through
me, as if critically considering if
it had been a wise thing to have
let our marriage happen, after all!
She asked questions about my
past life along, and I could see she
didn't approve of the existence that
had been mine. “All sorts of folks,"
I’d met in my journeys was against
me. She loved to dwell on the im
portance of exclusiveness, which, to
me, spelled snobbishness.
Some days she was kind and most
pleasant to me. Then, she’d develop
a queer way of slighting or Snor
ing me. I wondered about it, and
often I’d want to go away from
that big, cold, gray mansion, never
to return!
My mother still lived in her
apartment, and seemed quite content,
since I was married in accordance
to her will. I’d visit her often and
she’d visit me. Still, the days, be
gan to bore me and I hated my
manner of living more and more.
Far places would call me, but 1
couldn’t answer that call.
The months went by.
Kenneth did not come home from
college, but worked during vaca
tion. Much as I longed to see him,
I never once wrote him to come.
Philip idled along, and finally I
begged him to undertake some sort
of serious work. He couldn’t see the
use of it. still, he eventually found
a soft snap uptown. His uncle’s
business required new help, and I
think it was mainly curiosity .that
prompted his uncle to give him a
position. Phil’s mother only looked
upon it as a new fad, and supposed
he’d soon fling it aside for some
thing newer.
They didn’t know at home that I
encouraged and helped Phil along!
That many nights he'd come in and
declare, “Never again, it’s all off,"
and that I, his wife, would urge
and point out to him what real
work meant in one’s life, in one's
home, in one’s future!
Sometimes I’ve thought that as
much as my talks influenced him,
there was another factor that in
fluenced him more. The little new
life that was to be was no doubt
the greatest influence for good, and
Philip, the gay, carefree youth, be
gan to change and develop a man
ly seriousness unusual to him.
CHAPTER IX
It was then I began to care for
Philip in away different to what
I had ever before experienced. Still,
I now realize my love for him was
more of the maternal and that the
ambitions and ideals I strove to im
plant in his heart were such as a
mother strives so plant in the
heart and being of her son,
Mine was the stronger will.
Phil’s efforts were put forth mere
ly to please me; his trials he’d re
late gloomily in order to win ray
approving' smile and to hear my
words of counsel and praise as I
stood by, applauding.
Gradually, I came to have great
; hopes for his future. The things I’d
! love to have done in the business
! world, Phil would do, while I sat
' by looking on, exulting in my heart
l of hearts, that, although life had
1 denied me some parts I’d love to
i play, still I was at least a factor in
■ the game. I had inspired another
[ with my vision. The knowledge of
■ this one fact must satisfy and con
i sole me.
i My days were fuller of interest
now, and a deep, quiet sense of joy
more akin to happiness, than any
I’d known since Dad passed on.
Philip’s mother and mine seemed
immensely pleased over events soon
; to be, and I was treated quite roy
ally to be sure.
Philip reminded me more and more
of the boy growing into the man.
IJven his mother remarked upon it.
Kenneth and I kept in close touch
with one another by letters. His col
lege days were xny pride. He ap
plied himself just as I knew he
would and, as usual, made friends
with people. It was that way he had.
In the spring Philip, Junior, was
born. He wasn’t husky and strong,
like I’d hoped he would be. I feared
he must grow up a weakling, sur
rounded by too much luxury, as he
was. How often I’d long to take him
far away to the wide, open country
and see him develop more accord
ing to nature, free from Philip’s
pampering mother, who soon gave
me to understand I was an ignora
mus when it came to bringing up a
baby, especially Philip, Junior! She
quietly and authoratively took the
reins in her own hands from the
very beginning. I’d never thought
beforehand, how it would be. It
never crossed, my mind that I’d not
have full and complete control re
garding my child, just as my own
mother had had of Kenneth and me.
I thought mothers naturally had
their children for their very own.
The first few days, I did not think
anything about it. But after a few
weeks, with my health Improving so
wonderfully, I began to plan and ar
range things to suit myself.
I might have saved myself the
trouble. Philip’s mother gave me to
understand I was young and foolish,
like most young mothers, and that
she had attained the years of wis
dom, gained much from observation
as wfell as experience, and that con
sidering everything, she had con
cluded that it was wisest to hire a
nurse educated and trained to care
for babies according to the latest
approved methods for infants, so
that babies might be raised scientif
ically, whjch barred me from my
fond anticipations heretofore in
dulged in for so long a time —hoping,
hungrily dreaming of the time com
ing when I could cuddle and rock
and caress my child, so tiny and
sweet, just as my dead mother had
loved and petted and rocked me.
Why! my grandpa was rocked in
a wooden cradle with funny, home
made rockers, and he nursed until
he was five, and lived to die hale
and hearty at over three-score and
ten. But that was so long ago.
Mssf ELTONS TALKS

Kings and Queens Coming to See TTs
King George sent his oldest boy
to this country, and the king and
queen of Belgium are over hero on
a visit. It is more than likely that
these folks are more impressed with
the United States, since our boys
went over and put the German kai
ser out of commission.
Their point of view has had a
change of location. Once upon a time
it was the custom of rich Ameri
cans to go over to Europe and strive
to procure Interviews and (secure
presentations at court. Some of
them had to be taught how to ad-'
vance to royal persons, and how to
back out of such royal presence, be
cause the rule of the presentation
forbade any turning around and go
ing out the door, face foremost. The
women were directed to wear low
' necked gowVis. and carry long' trains
in their expert hands. And royalty
sometimes returned a smile and
sometimes they also failed to smile!
And the rich American girls were
eager and anxious, and ready, and
more than willing to accept the hand
of some man with a title to his
name, and pay for the privilege by
handing over their bank accounts,
and getting sometimes very sorry
treatment in the matrimonial ven
ture.
But Europe has waked up to the
man-power in this good old United
States. They see a little further than
they used to see, and perhaps they
do not forget that some as their
crown-wearing gentry might now be
eating from the German kaiser’s
hand if the United States had failed
to go over, and rebuke the once
mighty Wilhelm.
Certainly this late world war has
taken off a considerable part of the
gloss and glitter in European court
circles. These people are not nearly
so great as they once believed they
were, or at any rate, made out they
were, and it is to be hoped that our
people who now go over to see the
sights, will not get down on their
knees as they once used to do, and
try to get acquainted under difficul
ties. These royal visitors can see a
good deal over here, that may be of
service to themselves, when they
have to go back, away back and sit
down and behave themselves as best
they can in private life.
Hammock for Eaby’s Bide
The county agent in Walsh county,
N. D., has found a solution for a
problem that has perplexed many a
mother —what to do with the baby
when the family is taking an auto
mobile ride. He described his ap
paratus as follows:
“Take two pieces of three-eights
inch rope, each long enough to reach
from .one top bow around back of
the seat to the other. Into these
splice two short pieces to make a
rectangle about a foot wide and near
ly as long as the car body is wide.
Leave ends of rope at the four
corners to tie to the four bows on
the top. Over this rectangle fit a
denim basket about two feet long.
This will make a very satisfactory
hammock, and one that can be used
at any time of the year. The baby
carried in it will be happier than in
the mother’s lap, and the mother
will have a pleasant trip.”
