come Per Montii tor Mrs. Kopp.
“I have 200 hens, including late
pullets not old enough to lay, and
had been getting 25 to 30 eggs a day.
Then I tried Don Sung and am now
getting 107 to 114 eggs a day.”—
Mrs Essie B. Bopp, R. R. 2, Littles,
Ind.
This increase of 7 dozen a day in
the middle of winter, at jSOc a dozen,
makes $126 extra income' per month.
Don Sung for her 200 hens cost about
$2.50. It paid her, and we guaran
tee it will pay you.
Give your hens Don Sung and
watch results for one month. If you

~~ AKD SUCCESSFUL FARMING
Dr AndrewK Sovle
B. A. P.. Sparta, Ga., writes:
Bast year we had our first ex
perience with the weevil, but
they came late and therefore
did little damage. On the first
appearance of the weevil this
year, care was taken to pick up
all the fallen squares, though
no poisoning was done. We used
1,100 pounds of a 9-3-2 fertil
izer and 300 pounds of sulphate
of ammonia, used as a top dress
ing. We made one 575-pound
bale on each of the two acres
planted. I wish your advice in
(regard to the use of fertilizers
the coming season. I have a good
red clay soil.
It is gratifying if we have been
fortunate to serve your interests ad
vantageously. It is our purpose al
ways to promote the welfare of ev
ery farmer in the state of Georgia
to the verj- best of our ability.
I am glad to know the boll weevil
did you no serious damage last year.
If he has entered your field in the
autumn, however, he has no doubt
established himself in large num
bers, and will, therefore, be ready
in the spring to make a vigorous
attack on the young cotton as soon
»s it comes out of the ground. You
should fight the weevil by hand
picking when the cotton is very
small. A vigorous attack on him at
this season of the year does great
damage and helps to prevent the
rapid multiplication and a greater
increase in numbers early in the
season. Plant an early, rapid-fruit
ing variety of cotton. This is a very
important matter. I would use cal
cium arsenate as a dust spray, and
begin its application relatively early
in the season. We have found con
siderable encouragement from its
judicious use on the test plats es
tablished in various parts of the
state, and we consider it one means
of fighting the weevil which prom
ises to be of great value to farmers.
According to experience and obser
vation which began away back yon
der in 1899, little benefit will be
derived from the use of fertilizers
as side applications. In other words,
in territory which has been heavily
infested, it will be found desirable
to put all the fertilizer under the
drill row before planting cotton.
What we need to do is to force an
early, rapid and relatively quick ma
turity. Hence the use of liberal
amounts of acid phosphate is desir
able. A considerable amount of ni
trogen can also be used to advan
tage. The use of liberal amounts of
potash on sandy lands will prove
profitable. It is not as important for
you to use this element in your sec
tion of Georgia as it is in some other
parts of the state. Yet, with potash
at a normal price, I would not hesi
tate to use 3 per cent of it. I would
think that 200 pounds of 16 per cent
acid phosphate would supply our av
erage soils with a fair amount of
phosphoric acid. Two hundred and
twenty-five pounds of sulphate of
ammonia would furnish a little over
50 pounds of nitrogen. I would con
sider this an abundance of that ele
ment to use, and, if changing the
fertilizer in any respect, would ad
vise the addition of more phosphoric
acidl or the use, say, of 25 to 50
pound* of muriate of potash.
Plowing and preparing your land
this fall and getting your cotton in
sdrly on well fertilized land are the
most important things you can do in
making a successful fight against
the weevil.
F. J., Dublin, Ga., writes: I
wish some information in regard
to hog raising, and the value of
the pure-bred sow on the farm.
Also the best grazing crops to
plant for hogs.
In your part of Georgia hogs can
be raised to advantage on grazing
crops. It is quite possible to keep
eight brood sows and their litters
on 15 acres of land. To do this, orte
would have to lay off the area in
question in a five-acre permanent
pasture and into four two and one
half acre grazing plots. The whole
should be well and substantially
fenced.
You can plant a great variety of
crops on the grazing areas, and you
should plant so as to insure a suc
cession of feeds coming on through
out the growing season which, in
your section, will be practically all
the year round. The crops to plant
are oats, rye, rape, millet, sorghum,
cowpeas, corn, peanuts, sweet pota
toes and velvet beans. You will have
to feed a little supplementary grain
to hogs maintained on grazing crops.
About two pounds per head per day
will be the right amount. So every
farmer interested in raising these
animals should have a good field of
corn. Sweet potatoes will also be
found useful as a hog food, and so

it would be a good plan to sev
eral acres planted out to this crop.
They can be fed during the fall and
early winter.
It has been said that “a purebred
sire is more than half the herd,” be
cause a purebred sire transmits
some of his desirable characteristics
to i all the progeny. If the foregoing
statement is true, it can be applied
with equal force to the dam. It
would be foolish, of course, to use
a scrub sire in association with a
purebred dam, but even then we
might look for a substantial im
provement in the progeny. You are
familiar no doubt with the razor
back of the piney woods section. In
many places he has become almost
unknown In recent years, due to the
fact that the pig club boys have
used purebred sires and dams. The
quality of the hogs coming to our
packing plants In south Georgia has
been greatly improved. The value of
our hogs increased nearly 1,000 per
cent in the last five or s’ix years. A
part of this was due to the improve
ment brought about in our native
stock through the use of purebred
sires and dams. The boU weevil ate
up about forty million dollars worth
of cotton last year. We got all this
money back through increasing our
hog industry.
Management of a Cow Disposed to
Kick
M. G. S., Toombsboro, Ga.,
writes: I would like to know
where I could buy a chain to
prevent cows from kicking
while being milked.
The best simple method of pre
venting a cow from kicking is to
pass a strap one and one-half to two
inches wide around the loin and un
der the front of the udder and buckle
it up fairly tight. Kindness and
gentleness in handling a kicking cow
are matters of utmost importance.
Very often a disposition to kick
arises from bad treatment. It is
true there is a pre-disposition to
this trouble in the case of some ani
mals. I have known a few cows that
seemed to be vicious by nature. On
the other hand, you should be very
careful to see that the udder is in
an absolutely normal condition, that
there, are no evidences of sores or
objectionable growths on the surface
and that it is not chafed. It is but
natural that a cow should kick should
any of these conditions pertain. In
such a case, she is only doing what
we ourselves would do in case some
sore part of the body were touched
or pressed upon. I have seen a good
many bad cases cured by gentle and
kindly treatment, by seeing that the
udder is kept in a thoroughly good
condition and by using a strap in
the manner indicated. You may have
some other method of treatment by
which the use of a chain would be
desirable, but I am evidently not ac
quainted with this method of controll
ing a cow which is pre-disposed to
kick.
Fundamental Data About Georgia
J. J. K., Weyerhauser, Wis.,
writes: I wish some informa
tion regarding the state of Geor
gia. Will mixed farming pay
there and how about hog rais
ing? How far does one have to
go from town to get cut-over
land?
Mixed farming can be engaged in
successfully in Georgia. Almost
hny crop adapted for cultivation
elsewhere in the United States may
be raised successfully here. There
is an Impression abroad that we are
almost exclusively cotton farmers in
the south. As a matter of fact, more
than 60 per cent of Georgia’s agri
cultural and live stock wealth is de
rived from non-cotton crops. We
grow corn, oats, cowpeas, soybeans,
velvet beans, peanuts and truck crops
very extensively. We have a large
section devoted to peach growing and
apple production. Truck raising is
specialized in with advantage In some
parts of the state. In southwest
Geo'gria, hog raising has been empha
sized to the point where our state
now ranks seventh as a producer of
hogs. Many of these animals are
grown largely on grazing crops and
finished off satisfactorily through
the use of moderate amounts of
corn.
The soils of the state vary widely.
The Cecil clays of north Georgia,
the Greenville and Orangeburg clay
loams of southwest Georgia and the
Tifton sandy loam of middle and
south Georgia are all fine agricul
tural soils, capable of producing a
great variety of crops satisfactorily.
Cut-over lands will be found adja
cent to many south Georgia towns.
The soil survey conducted by the
Georgia State College of Agriculture
and the bureau of soils, United States
department of agriculture, has pro
vided a valuable fund of information
relative to our soil and climatic con
ditions. Bulletins are printed and
distributed free of cost by both this
institution and the United States de
partment of agriculture. They will
provide you the best information
available relative to our soil and cli
mate. Lands vary greatly in price
according to location, fertility and
shipping facilities. Good farm land
can be bought at from twenty-five
dollars and upward per acre in many
parts of Georgia.
Bone Meal as a Fertilizer for Truck
t Crops
H. G. 8., Pavo, Ga., writes:
What is your opinion of the
value of bone meal that analyzes
22 per cent of phosphoric acid
and 4.5 per cent of nitrogen?
I can buy it for $63.50 f. o. b.
here in bags. If the phosphate
is not all available in one year,
it looks high to me based on the
prices for cotton seed meal and
rock phosphate goods.
Ground bone meal contains from
22 to 25 per cent of total phosphoric
acid and from 2 1-2 to 4 1-2 per cent
of nitrogen. Meal of this character
simply represents crushed, or ground
bones, and the value of it depends
materially on the fineness of divi
sion and its composition. The more
finely it is ground, the more quickly
will it decompose in the soil. The
more quickly it decomposes, the
greater the availability of the plant
for the elements it contains. Raw,
ground bone is a good fertilizing
material, but it is rather' slow in
its action. As a rule, it will take
from three to five years to get all
the available plant food out of it.
Material of this character is gener
ally better for use, therefore, on
soils rich in humus or on such crops
as grass where the season is long
and immediate results are not
sought. We would not be disposed
to recommend this material for use
under truck crops, therefore, since
we believe you can use other mate
rials which will be much more quick
ly available and which you can pur
chase at a much lower relative cost.

CHAPTER XXXIX.
KIRK LANSING had not taken
his conge as final. He was a
strong man, possessed of a
strong man’s self-confidence.
Also he had infinite patience. He
had not given Helen up—never
would, so«he told himself, as long
as she was single. Nevertheless
men like Lansing have ideas of
marriage, austere and perhaps ro
mantic. They give a fairly clean
sheet and are inclined to ask a bit
more than they give—not less.
Lansing had haunted the studios
and other places occasionally fre
quented by Helen and Adele in the
hope of seeing them. But Helen re
ligiously remained in seclusion while
Adele, when he saw her. could give
him no comfort.
‘‘Why does she hide herself?” Lan
sing had asked, and Adele had re
plied:
“Search me! I’m sure no one has
less cause to.” Then: “I’m sorry.
Kirk. Don’t think Helen has told
me, she isn’t that kind. But I can
see things at times without being
told. I wish she had—”
“Liked me better,” he interrupted.
“So do I, Adele. But I shan’t give
up.”
“Good for you!” Then more seri
ously: “I wish you all the luck in
the world, Kirk. But —don’t hurry
her.” If she had been asked, Adele
would not have been able to tell why
she had advised Lansing ot to hur
ry Helen. But in away she was
sure that something had occurred in
Helen’s life that had caused her to
refuse Kirk Lansing. Also she was
positive Helen cared for him. Often
she had seen her flush and her eyes
light at his coming, seen many lit
tle Indications of an interest not at
all platonic—at variance with her
declaration that she would never
marry.
“No, I shan’t hurry her —but if it
is humanly possible I shall win her,
Adele.”
Landing made no apology for talk
ing of his feelings to Adele, either
to himself or to her. .He had no
wish to parade his emotions, nei
ther had he any desire to hide his
love for Helen from Adele. Adele
had realized from the first that
Lansing loved, that he was serious.
It is the women like Adele Foster
who keep the world of people in
good humor; people inclined to be
come impatient, sometimes irritable
under delayed hopes and aspirations.
At the shop, although as young as
most of the girls, she was the re
cipient of their joys and griefs; es
pecially of their love affairs. She
radiated sympathy and understand
ing. And perhaps it was this quality
in her that encouraged Lansing to
speak of his hopes. He, as well as
the girls in the shop, recognized her
amiability and her ability to enter
into the feelings of others.
P [opelp (jirly fflKotpeJ
Have been reading your advice to
the girls and decided I would come
to you for some myself. lam very
dissatisfied, want to get a job some
where and make my own living. My
parents don’t seem to want me to
leave home, and yet they seem not
to be satisfic'd at any thing I do. I
always try and do the best I can and
try to do what I think is right. My
mother has bad health and I have
most everything to do. I don’t mind
what I have to do if only she and
my father would seem to appreciate
it. I hardly ever go anywhere, but
when I do they nearly always get
angry with me. I don’t go with boys
much but when I am with any I
treat them friendly.
Was twenty years old one day
this month. Do you think I am old
enough to know right from wrong?
Is it right for a girl to sacrifice
herself and most of her pleasure for
the sake of her parents, when they
don’t appreciate it?
How is my handwriting?
I am JUST DISSASITFIED.
I can understand your position
and I know it is rather hard to
do things willingly for people
who do not seem to appreciate
what one does, for them. But
your mother, you say, is in ill
health, and she complains often
when she little realizes it. She
loves you, I’m sure. And she
depends upon you, too. It takes
a great spirit of unselfishness to
give up one’s own life, pursuits,
pleasures, for others. Perhaps
you will not have to do it long.
And you can look back at this
era of your life with th i satis
faction and knowledge that you
have done what you could. But,
on the other hand, it is up to you
to get the most you can out of
your life. Do your duty first,
then consult yourself about your
pleasure. Be happy if you can,
do not give up your friends, try
to get out of doors as much as
possible, and you will tiring
cheerfulness inside. I don’t think
you should sacrifice everything.
I do not know just what kind of
a position would suit you. Write
to me again later on, and let me
know what you would prefer do
ing. Your handwriting is very
gopd.
We are coming to you for advice.
I. J. C. R., the eldest, am 39 years
old, am in love with a girl 16. Do
you think she is too young to be my
wife, for she claims to love me very
dearly. Do you thing that she is lov
ing me for my money or for myself?
And stie wants me to buy her pres
ents. What shall I buy her, a dia
mond ring or wrist watch? 2. I, M.
H. S., am 16 years old and in love with
a girl 17 years old. Do you think
we are too young to get married? She
loves me very much and I love her.
We hope to see the answer to this
in The Tri-Weekly Journal at your
earliest convenience. Yours respect
fully, J. C. R. AND M. H. S.
I think you are decidedly too
old for the girl of sixteen, and
it is not right for you to take ad
vantage of the infatuation she
holds for you and have her marry
you. Cases like yours, nine times
out of ten turn out very unhap
pily. The girl doesn’t know her
own mind, and by the time she
is twenty she will have changed
it regarding love —several times.
Do not. give her a handsome pres
ent of any kind. 2. M. H. S. —Yes,
I certianly do think you are too
young to marry. Neither one of
you has any idea the responsibil
ities pertaining to married life,
and the girl is too young to be
burdened with it, and I feel sure
you are not capatile of taking care
of her. Why not wait until you
are at least twenty-one—perhaps
by that time you will have a dif
ferent view of life, and will un
derstand the word “marriage”
more clearly.
I am coming to you for a little ad
vice. I am deeply in love with a
nice little lady of fifteen. I am eigh
teen. I have been going with her
ever since June. I love her dearly,
and she says she loves me, and can’t
live with out me, and I think the
saqie of her. She told me she did
not want me to go with any other
girl and I told her the same about
other boys. She said she would not
pass time with any other boy. I
have seen her talking to the other
boys when I was around and never
pass any words with me. I have
given her nice presents, such as rings,
necklace, beads, candy and I take
her to all nice shows. I asked her to
“That’s the way to talk, Kirk!
And right now I tell you I’ll help
all I can. Not that I want to lose
Helen! God forbid!!” he said the
last with ,so comical an expression
ansing laughed. “But you two, were
made for each other. And its all
nonsense for her to say she won’t
get married. She will—some day.
She’s the kind that would make a
good wife and mother.” The last
was spoken simply, as if it were the
usual thing to disciss wifehood and
• motherhood with a young man.
After this talk with Adele, Lan
sing wrote Helen a letter.
"Dear Helen,” he began, “I cannot
bear to think I ha.ve ostracised my
self because of my saying that I
: could not see you without talking
of things that might distress -you.
Please let me come as I used to
come, as a friend. If I find I
haven’t self-control enough to be
just your friend, then I will stay
away.”
At this point he crumpled up the
letter, pushed it in his pocket, put
on his hat and flung out of his
office.
He crossed the square; he en
tered the familiar door.
“Go right up, she’s it home,”
Mrs. Cook said with a smile. And
forgetting his self-inflicted banish
ment, anxious to see the girl he
loved, he climbed the stairs and
ra'pped slightly on the studio door.
Hearing a sound within, he opened
it.
Helen was huddled in one of her
wing chairs. Her face was buried
in her hands. She was sobbing
great tearing sobs that shook her
slender form, xairly screamed dis
tress. Lansing hesitated an instant,
then swiftly crossed to her.
She heard his quick step and rais
ed her face. Her cheeks were wet
with tears, her eyes red and swol
len.
“What is it, Helen? Why are you
crying so?” He realized she had
not heard him rap, that it was a
muffled sob he had heard instead of
a bid to enter. His emotions, mixed
with surprise at finding her weep
ing, made him almost numb.
“Oh, why did you come!” She
dabbed her face with her fribble of
a handkerchief. He took it away,
all damp with tears and substituted
his own fresh large one. When he
had wiped her eyes and face he
stood and waited. Finally he drop
ped on his knees beside tier chair.
“Dear,” he murmured “can I help?
Shall I leave you?”
“Oh, I am so foolish, —” then
with an immense effort she rose, and
with a twisted smile, said: “Please
be friends, Kirk.” For answer he
made her read the unfinisheu note
he had written in his office.
(To Be Continued.)
marry me twice and she would say,
“I don’t know just now, but will tell
you next time.” I go to see her three
times a week and stay until ten
thirty. Is there any harm in hold
ing a girl’s hand when walking to
gether if you love her and I sure do
love her dearly. Her father and
mother thinks well of me.
Your best advice will 'be appre
ciated. L
GOLDEN FISH.
You are too young to marry.
Wait until you are twenty-one at
least. And you are doing wrong
to give this girl so many pres
ents. She may lead you to think
she cares for you, at the same
time she knows how kind you
are to her, and she may be go
ing with you to get presents.
. .Don’t be foolish—it is all right
to remember her birthday, with
a little gift, and on Christmas,
a book, or candy. Unless you are
seriously contemplating matri
mony, do not give expensive
presents.
,1 am coming to you for advice.
I am twenty years of age, and in
love with a soldier boy whom I dear
ly love.
He was discharged in August but
re-enlisted for three years.
I am in love with another boy too,
but do not love him as well as I do
the soldier. Would it be wise to go
ahead and marry the boy which he
wants me to do, or wait the three
years for the soldier boy?
Do you thing he will prove true
to me?
I’m afraid he will not since he
has re-enlisted. Please advise me.
ANXIOUS BLONDIE. •
I am honest with you when I
say I am sure if you were to
marry the soldier boy, you will
live to regret it. In the first
place the pay they get does not
enable them to support a wife,
and I have known of soldiers’
wives taking in washing at the
post where the regiment was sta
tioned, working their fingers off,
ekeing out an existence, some
with a large family of children.
And besides a soldier has many
idle moments. In his unoccu
pied time he learns to gamble,
and often does things which
causes himself and others, es
pecially his family, lots of trou
ble. Os course there are excep
tions to the rule, but man
has enlisted in the army, he some
how loses grip on ttie things
worth while. I know where of I
speak. And if you have good
judgment do not marry the sol
dier, but take the man who is
willing to work for you.
Am coming to you for a little
advice. I always read your column
with interest and now, as I have
no one else to advise me, I thought
T would come to you.
I am a girl eighteen years of
age. I am very pretty and have
lots of beaus, but I do not love
but one of them. There is a widow
er 65 years of age. He has thirteen
children and six grandchildren. Now
this is what I want to know: Do
you think I will be happy with
them? They live with him and it
doesn’t seem right to ask them to
leave. I could not bear to lose this
man for I love him very dearly. I
am an orphan and no one to ad
vise me. Please help me. I am,
Yours,
BROWN-EYED JOE.
I cannot conceive of a young
and pretty girl, as you say you
are, giving up so many beaus
(and some of then)/ handsome)
to fall in love with an old
widower, with thirteen children
and six grandchildren. Unless
he has money and perhaps he
might leave you a goodly por
tion in case of his death. That
rarely ever happens, for the
children, as a rule, get all the
fortune. My advice to you is,
let this man go and see if you
cannot love a man nearer your
own age, even if he hasn’t much
money.
I am coming to you for some good
advice. I am fiftene years of age
and am going with a boy sixteen. He
says he loves me better than any
girl he knows. He asked me to mar
ry him, and I told him I would when
I got eighteen. He said he never
would be happy any more without
me. Thanking you for Et&vice.
A. M.
Y r ou are very sensible to wait
until you are older to think
about marrying. And the boy is
entirely too young to think
about being a husband. Besides,
I doubt it very seriously if any
preacher will marry a couple of
such a tender age. If they do,
they should be put in jail.

No unsigned letters printed.
No letter written on both sides of paper printed.
All letters not *o exceed 150 to 200 words.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: I wonder
what you all are doing these beautiful days.
I have been going to school. Will you
please move over, and give me a seat by
Aunt Julia and some good looking cousin?
Guess you all had a happy Christmas; I
sure did. I am a little country girl and
like country life just fine. -Well, as it
seems to be the rule, I will describe my
self. Don’t get behind the door. So, here
I go: Brown hair, blue eyes, fair com
plexion, four feet high, weight 105 pounds,
age 13 years. What do you cousins do for
pastime? I read story books. I guess I
had better hush, as I see Aunt Julia frown
ing at me. I could write more, but I am
afraid I will.break the rule. If any of you
cousins want to write me let your letters
fly to BERTHA HARRIS.
Sweet Gum, Ga.
Hello, Aunt Julia and Cousins: Will yo»
admit two lonesome Georgia girls Into your
happy circle of boys and girls? We live
on farms and like farm life fine. We will
not describe ourselves this time. We go
to school at Hart Pine and like it fine.
We are in the sixth grade. Will describe
ourselves next time. Let your cards and
letters fly to
GERTRUDE M’CLELLAN,
ETHEL HARNAGE.
Adel, Ga., Route 3.
Dearest Aunt Julia and Cousins: Let’s
all try and see which one can write the
best letter about Christmas, as I think
it is the greatest birthday of all and it
should be celebrated in a right way. So I
think all the work should be closed that
day and all the people should visit their
friends and relatives and have their
homes decorated .and have them a Christ
mas tree and fill it with nice presents
for their friends and have a Santa Claus
to hand out thsir presents and everyone
enjoy and celebrate Christmas in an at
tractive way.
Well, as I am a new cousin I had bet
ter not stay long. I wrote once before but
failed to see it in print. Guess Mr. W.
Basket got it. My age is seventeen years.
I live on a farm and enjoy it fine. Will
close, hoping to see this in print. With
lots of love and best regards.
EVIE WIGGINS.
Andalusia, Ala. Rt, B, Box 179.
P. S. Will answer all mail received.
Everyone write me.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousins: Rap! Rap!
Rap! Will you give us a seat by Olin Mc-
Clendon and Charles Ward? Now, we are
two Georgia girts, and being strangers to
you all we won’t stay very long. We tried
to get in once before, but were not ad
mitted. We live on a farm and enjoy farm
life just fine. We wouldht’ exchange for
city life. All that agree just hold up your
hand. Oh, we see most everybody’s hand
went up. Hope all of you had a merry
Christmas and a happy New Year. As for
us, we had a splendid time. )Vhat has
become of the nineteen (19) Kemp sports?
We would like to hear from them again.
We are between the age of 16 and 19. So
you see we are not old maids. How many
can guess our age? We will close, as
dark is approaching. All you cousins who
wish to correspond with two Georgia girls
write to
GRACE CHAPMAN,
LULA GILLAND.
Douglasville, Ga,, R. F. D. No. 4.
Tap! tap! Hello, Aunt Julia and Cousins!
Whew! What a merry circle. As Aunt Julia
requested, I thought I would write and tell
how a true American boy should celebrate
Christmas. As Christmas is the birthday of
our Savior, I should think that he should
go to church and give to Christ his pennies.
If you have any gifts give—give them to
’hose that vou know will not get anything.
People have a habit of giving their gifts
to these they love best, but think you are
a child and you would feel bad if you
didn’t get anything for Christmas. Try to
make children that are poor know what
Christinas 18 and.itry to make them enjoy
tht;nisejyes and you will enjoy it more. Some
of vbu cousins write to me.

Hello, there! How’s everybody? Last time
I was here was August, 1919. I enjoyed my
visit to the letter box right much; got many
interesting letters.
What can we do for Christmas? Well,
I am Just thinking. Guess I will nmke
some small inexpensive gifts and send them
to home folk and friends in Virginia, as I
have decided not to go home Christmas, but
wait until the roses bloom again. Think
I will make the following for gifts: Pin
cushion, crochet small round medallion,
scallops edge, rose in center, line and put
back of fancy colored satin, run ribbon
around edge, make bow, and it s done
Towel—Crochet towel end and sew on with
letters and date “Christmas, 1920, or For
Mother ” etc. Handkerchief Holder —Sew
crosswise through center, between comers
of two ladies’ plain white handkerchiefs.
Take up top handkerchief, sew narrow rib
bon to each corner, making rosette, _ hnilg
each piece of ribbon up kix inches, join an 1
make P risette at top, and it’s ready for
ing If one desires, sew tatting around the
edge of ench handkerchief before sewing,

But how many will send me a card on Teb
ruary 3, 1921? MILDRED HARMON.
Kinards, S. C.
Dear Aunt Julia and Cousns: May I come
again? It’s been a long time since I wrote
last. Guess most of the cousins have for
gotten me, but I haven’t forgotten you cous
ins, for T have learned to know many dear
friends through the letter box. I think the
letter box is just grand, we should thank
Aunt Julia many, many times for printing
our letters and for being so kind and help
ful to us. I think our motto Help for the
helpless,” “kindness to all things” is a
grand motto, for we will never lose any
thing by being kind to everything. Christ
mas is almost here and we all should be pre
pared to be more thankful this Christmas
than we have in the past. I must hush or
I will go over the 200 word mark. Aunt
Julia, please let me pass this time, I am
the same “ex-soldier” boy that worte oyer
a year ago, so if any of you good looking
girls want to write to me, just come on
with your letters. Find enclosed dime for
the American child. Love to all.
