Show 1 j ! THE FALL CLEAN-UP B.I .5 Clean-Up Day has become a recog- H :l.f nized institution in many places. But it ?', usually "comes in the spring. Then it is HI -', that people's thoughts turn to out door HUi" work. The renewal of vegetation and BI;W , be Exhilaration of the spring time re- HS vive interest in garden puisuits. It is B l,.trf "with zest and thoroughness that the Hfy::' householder takes hold to clean up his K'X grounds. Hhk T The same people arc apt to lose en- K1 . . r ' thusiasm Avhen it comes to the fall. The H3k,'' " - time has passed for planning garden tri- Hl: " - umphs and cleaning up seems like paying Hh; V ' ' ov a dead horse: So weedy-growths are HBf'7 ife a often allowed to remain, and the remains HaW f of flowers and vegetables disfigure the, H. i1 .' iri'ound.

So let us all get put on some of these pleasant fall days, and give our grounds another going over as thorough as they had in the spring. Better still, we. should have kept litter from accumulating all the summer, so that now there will be nothing to remove.' But there .are plenty of us who have a good day's work to do before cur homes are dressed up for the inspection of the neighbors' until the next garden season. |
