AUNT JULIA'S LETTER BOX| “Help for the Helpless—Kindness to All Dumb Things 9 * RULES No unsigned letters printed. No letter written on both sides of paper print-.. All letters not *o exceed 150 to 200 words. Dear Children: You know it has been a lang time since we had a contest of any kind, and now with Christmas so close at band 1 think it would be nice to have one. We are going to write on this subject: “What Can We Do for Christmas?” The girls will write about the things that can be made inexpensively, but attractively, for gifts; the boys on how to spend Christmas day. Christmas is the most wonderful birthday in the world, and I want you children to enjoy it to the utmost, but I also want you to remember what a sacred day it is. All letters must be marked on the envelope, “Christmas,” and must be in the office by the loth of November. The prizes will be a lovely box of handkerchiefs for the best letter written by a girl and a lovely tie for the boy writing the best letter. You can keep these yourself or use them as Christmas gifts. Lovingly, AUNT JULIA. P. S.—No letter must contain over 200 words. My Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: How are you all this beautiful October weather? I do hope you are nil well and happy. I am going to school this year at Mount Berry, Ga. I presume you have all heard the story of this lovely faith schqpl, If you have not, and wish to know more about it, I would be only too glad to tell both boys and girls if they will write me. I have been at Berry a month today and have not yet been “blue" nor “homesick,” but like it fine. We have a beautiful cam pus, with flowers, grass and trees over it. In the yard is a pond which has two ali gators in it, brought to the school by one of the Florida boys. Aunt Julia, I think you could find no better place to care for an American baby, to help it get an edu ration. Tlfftre are already five here. Miss Berry herself has nine boys and girls whom she is personally helping to go through school. Will describe myself and go: Gol den hair, large brown eyesl and am five feet three inches tall, weigh 114 pounds. Will be glad to hear from all the cousins wh ocare to write. If this is worthy of printing I would be very glad, as it may help some boy or girl to achieve an educa tion and be a better American. With love and best wishes, and asking you all to write to me.

I am sure we would have a dandy time. Oh! I wish so much I could go out in the field and help pick cotton, but as I can’t walk without crutchea, of course, that forbids. I have been unable to walk for over a year, but am expecting wlthfn a few months to be walking again, and you all can’t imagine how “glad” I’ll be.

I am an old cousin from North Carolina. I wrote to the letter box last March and received a good many inter esting letters from the cousins which were all appreciated. Cousins, do you like flow ers? I do but haven't many now. I have some roses and daisies in bloqm. I’ll not frighten anybody this time by describing mvself, as I gave you all a description of myself in my other letter.

I have fallen in love with him and he always seemed to care a great deal for, me until here of late. He finishes col lege this year at Young Harris. He was always prompt in answering my letters until just a few weeks ago, and he seldom ever writes me and his letters are not like they used to be. I have never let him know that I cared for him. He speaks very highly of me to • his friends. He has always seemed to be a perfect gentleman. But he has been home on a visit and went to see a girl that is not what she ought to be. (We were kindly fuss ing at that time) and he didn’t come about me or let me know that he had been home until after he went back to school. I believe that he is caring- for this other girl, and if he keeps going there I can’t go with him any more. I doh’t let him know that I know anything about him going to see the girl. My life will be a wreck without him. I really believe he loves me. Please advise me hpw to win him back. I have never given him any rea son whatever to do like he is do ing. Would you advise me to stop corresponding with him? Thanking you in advance. THELMA. If you love this boy and want him to love and respect you, do not question him about the other girl or girls. In the first place a man will always do the thing he wants most to do. And all the arguments ever used will not change his inclination. Write to him, as of old, but do not chide him about the other girls. Let your letters be bright and cheerful and friendly. Re member that you are “you;” and you have attractions as well as others. But you will lessen them if you get on the subject of other girls. “Where were you last night” attitude has spoiled more girls’ chances of marriage, and driven away love than any other. The way to win a man, one must use flattery, combined with common sense. Keep silent about other women, except to speak well of them. Do not lie to them, but be honest with yourself. They are the essentials. And lastly look as attractive as you possibly can. Here comes a heart-broken girl for good advice. There’s a young married man lives just a mile and a half from home. He has a wife and four children. He says, that he loves me better than anyone on earth. There is a young boy, 18, who says that he loves me and can’t live with out me, and I know I love him. The man with four children says he isn’t going to let this boy, 18, have me, that I am his. He said that he is going to divorce his wife and take me and go to New York to live. I told him that I didn’t love him and he asked me was there anything on earth that he could buy to make me happy. I said no; he wants me tn kiss him. I told him no, that he nee ' not ever ask me again. I have tv more years at school. I will be si teen in August. I am an orpha have neither father or mother. Woubi you advise me to stop school. The boy, 18, said he would wait for me. 1 do not know what to do about the married man. He wants to give me expensive presents. What is youi’ advice? Trouble-hearted Girl. Evidently you have encouraged this married man, or else he would not make such a proposi tion to you. He ought to be tarred and feathered. In the sizes 1,2, 4 and 6 years.

He is telling you such things to see if you will listen to him. Keep away from him, do not let him persuade you to wrongdoing by buying your purity, your girlhood, with handsome presents. Keep at school if possible, and when 'you desire to marry, pick out a clean, upright boy. Remember this, that “a woman always pays, • for her missteps in life.” I have been reading the valuable information you have given others, and would like to ask you a few quesXions. Which would be more suitable for a wedding dress in wintßf, a navy blue tricotine, or a navy blue satin? And which would be the more appro priate color navy blue or some light color? I live in the country. Please print this, for I am very anxious to know. Thanking you for all your advice “BLUE EYE§.” It depends on the time of day and the journey one will take af ter the wedding. Navy blue is always good taste, and a one piece frock of heavy material is not onljß serviceable, but pretty, especially this season when em broidered in the pretty woolen yarns and beads. Satin, of course, is more dressy and makes a nice dress for “dress up occasions. Both are practical, just a matter of choice. If the wedding is to be in the evening, after dark, a white dress looks very sweet bn a young person.

Could this be true, even while she framed the words which must, from her viewpoint, increase the suffering? Certainly it could be true, and was. The sympathy in Rosalie’s eyes, the affectionate pressure of her hand, was genuine when she en tered Nora's room and sat down de terminedly in front of her to say: “What’s wrong with you, my dear? I do not want to force your confi dence. But hadn’t you better tell me? Is it because of Roger, Nora? Or is it because of somebody else?’’ The other woman had reached the noint at which speech is no longer a relief, but only increased effort. But she made shift to reply, be cause there was something she wanted in turn to ask of Rosalie. “It’s Roger and something that happened when Dr. Findlay was here.” Rosalie’s eyes hardened a bit. but her tone remained gentle. “Will , you tell me what hap pened?” “Yes. but first I want to ask you several things and I want your truthful answer, on your word of honor. You got a message, you know, from Roger. Was it really from him? I mean, do you know that it was not, in any way, your own?” Nora’s wide eyes were fixed on Rosalie’s, a living interrogation. Rosalie spoke four words: .“It was from Roger.” “I believe you. Now this: If Roger is still living. I mean in that way that people live—over there —he can tell me more about something that is in my mind. I tried once by my self. with the ouija board, and got no answer. Later —I will tell you— abolit that—after a while. But first let me get another message, Rosa lie. Hein me do it right away.

Wonderful October for Gathering Crops We have had a long continuous spell of dry weather in the section I inhabit. The dust in the streets is some inches deep. The atmos phere is clogged with dust. Every leaf and patch of grass are covered with it. Yon can sweep your piazza floors every morning ar.d by noon, foot-tracks are visible all over it. You can write your name on the tables in the hall, and you are breathing it night and day, and can’t , elp yourself. But it has been warm and dry and the farmers can possibly gather all their cotton in good time and order — before a rainy spell reaches us. Turnips have been checked in growth, but nothing else that is growing can complain of the dry weather. All the cotton which has been picked in October has been picked dry. The dust may have soiled the beautiful white staple along the pub lic roads, but the cotton that is be ing hauled to the gin is “white as driven snow.” It is a great thing to have warm, dry weather in which to gather crops—in 1920. It is especially welcome this year —while coal is soaring in price and cotton is going down the slide—less than half of 1919 price. We feel considerably sore that cot ton should slump while foodstuffs are at high cost, but there is nothing to do but make the best of it. If we save and economize and keep out of debt, we will be all right. To Steer a Safe Course Nowadays We are flooded with advice in our section of the country as to the best course to pursue in these changing days of what Is called reconstruction after war. The wise men are overflowing with counsel and admonitions. The poli ticians have very pronounced views for and against the League of Na tions. And these wise men and the politicians are only human like the rest of us and only knew what they see or what has already happened. They assume the calling of prophets and it is a “hit and miss game,” the most of the time. There are, however, a few things that stand out clearly that they ean be safely counted. The first one is the over-burden of taxation. The na tional and state debts are simply staggering. Somebody' must pay them. We may as well understand that the United States will be pay ing war obligations fifty years from today and the pension debt was al ready burdensome before the war began.• There is said to be two certain things for all of us. namely, “Death and Taxes.” That’s the truth in a nut shell. The only thing we can do with either death or taxes is pre paredness-getting ready. The tax on the productive capacity of the United States right now is astound ing, and we would be more anxious if we could only grasp the immensity of it. We are like butterflies. We enjoy the sunshine and perish in the dark rainy days—like the “foolish virgins.” who took “no oil in their lamps.” If we had a cotton crop this year like the crop of ftlS—both in volume and price, we would have a heavy load to carry. With the present crop and the present price of cotton— to l’ inch un tH we feel it. The high cost of living continues, vv hen I go to the butcher shops to get a little fresh meat, I can carry a quarter’s worth tied with a string on my little finger and not be much impressed with the weight. When you eat meat these days you can al most taste the money. We 'plain folks down in Dixie have never been stinted as to meat —until the world war came over us. We are going to be much like the folks overseas in certain great principali ties where the plain working class hardly know the taste of' meat, es pecially in childhood. Down in Italy and therpabouts they are glad to get bread and season it with a flavor of garlic. The American* wage-earner has been reared on strong diet, and the average worker is going to have some meat if it is come-at-i-ble—unless he is well f.ed he is rabid. It is as plain as the nose on your face that retrenchment and economy are the chief orders of the day we live in. It will work out just like it is here stated—that the people who save their money, rather than spend it on movies, soft drinks, fancy clothes and joy rides, will have some to live on. and will not be caught in WE WILL BE TOGETHER SOON.” There was no signature, but to Nora it was decisive. With one step she gained her bed side table, took from the lower shelf a small dark object and pressed it to her temple, while Rosalie stood staring, a statue of futility. “I’m sorry, Rosalie, but I canr.r* heln it,” Nora said in a low voice. Had the automatic been loaded, as it was when Roger gave it to her with careful warning, Rosalie's be lated plunge to her friend’s side would not have saved her. Dr. Find lay, whose experience had taught him to overlook no menace, had re moved the cartridge. As it was. each woman sank down limply in reaction from wild excitement. Then Rosalie grasped Nora by both arms, shaking her back and forth like a naughty child. "Tell me you will never try it again,” she cried. This was not the. well-poised Miss Gates, calm and complacent teacher of calm and complacent theories, who spoke, but a terrified woman shocked quite out of normal pose. At last Nora spoke, shamefacedly and humbly, but with an undefined note of emptiness- in her voice which chilled Rosalie with a new fear. “I did not intend to stage a movie drama. Rosalie. I wish I had not exposed you to it. *But it was the first time I really was ,<lulte ready. Please, please' forget it. Rosalie! I guess Dr. Findlay must have un loaded that —thing. He should have known better. Persons supposed to plan that sort of exit never really do it, you know. Will you forget it, Rosalie?” All this the -woman before her— real woman now, in this hour of great need—swept aside, coming di rect to the’ vital point. “Why do you want to do it, Noraf Tell me why?” “You know why. Roger Is tired of waiting. He wants me. I knew it before, but I wasn’t quite— ready.” . Still the e.mpty, quiet face, the eyes seeing far ahead. “You mean that you were finally convinced by this last message?” Rosalie’s eyes ' were intent on the still, white face. “No, I knew it w-hen the table talked, the time Dr.. Findlay was here.” , (To Be Continued.) the storm, houseless and hungry— and the spendthrift will drift where they always drift, to hard work or something much worse—before death getfe them. <This is a famous old time to over look your last year’s frock and hat, dear ladies, and to teach your chil dren that hard times are in sight. I am admonished I must talk up for good times—preach prosperity— when prosperity is off on a vacation. I am not going to preach anything unless the “texj and the pretext” are more in unison than a great lot of the verbiage that is printed, with no other idea in mind but to keep the spenders deceived until they spend the last dollar in their control. The wise man of today is not going to pay three prices for things above their value. Better economize now when you can have a choice between saving ana spending. The time can easily come along whai the sheriff can dispose of what you’ve got and save you further trouble or inter est in your possessions. i HBMIW Manchurian Fox Scarf Dalivtryi FREE silk Lln«d I jS I TOST send soor <--4 1 J name and ad- | dress and I will sent) this fur scarf to you.
