Show SPRING CLEANING , in WELL, it is getting to about that time of year, when we must think of spring cleaning. It is a good time to clean up our lots, yards, corrals and premises generally, finishing with the house cleaning. All ashes, cans, and bric-a-bac should be hauled off; all weeds, useless old rags, paper pa-per and trash either burned on the premises or hauled to the garbage place outside the city and ignited. There should not be an idle man or team in town, for there is manure to haul from corrals, garbage and trash to rake up and haul away, trees to trim and ground to be gotten in shape for the gardens. If time remains when this cleaning is completed, there is farm machinery, harness and other equipment to be overhauled and placed in servicdble condition ; fences and gates to repair; seed grain to be gotten ready for planting and a thousand and one other odd jobs which if done now will help to relieve the strain when the real spring rush commences. In a farming community like this, there is absolutely abso-lutely no excuse for men to be seen loafing upon the i streets and sidewalks and about public buildings. Do I not do it ; it looks bad for the town. |
