With fle coming of spring nature will Lurst forth in all its loveliness, the trees and shrubs wHl commence to ~spread their foliage, the birds will flit about and sing as they busily prepare their new homes and as the earth is carpeted in an attractive green therelll come the fowers and the delightful freedom of running and romping in the great out- doors. All thig is golng to mean the re- sumption of pleasures of yesteryears and indulgence in. new ones that come with the addltion of years. There are those who are Watching for the first of the various kinds of birds &8s they return from the south and there are thoss who are alWays finding the fret of the flowers as they amppear. There are thosa who are going to get for their garden patchies of vege- tables and flowers. Others may be go- ing to devote their spare time to raising poultry, calves, pigs or sheep, and there will be those who will be taking hikes and trips into and about the COuntry. All of these things will be interesting and will give pleasure to the Wide- Awakes who participate in them. 1t is vossible to make them interesting to others by writing of your éxperlences in these various ways, telling ~what vou contemplate, what you actually accom- plish and the many fine {lMes you enjoy.
