Show Spring is Coming THE ground-hog has come out again, the first robbins have been trilling for a week past, the first housefly has put in an appearance, and fresh eggs are falling in the market. All these are symptoms of approaching spring, and while there will come many storms yet, while we are bound to Jjave some high winds while the snow lies so low on the mountains; the back-bone of the winter is surely broken, and it is time for cleaning up the premises, time to prune the trees and to plant the flowers that are to gladden the eyes of the veterans when they come, with their blooms. The winding sheet of the winter is being unwound, the mated birds will soon be making mak-ing their nests, and the hearts of men should be growing glad. |
