Mow that spring lias come, let
unclean up our yards and sur
roundings, thus adding much to
our personal comf oi t and hy
gienic safety and at 1he same
time-helping to beautify our
Tillage. Naturally we are ad
mirably located, but there is al
ways room for improvement.
A nicely kept lawH, tastily ar
ranged shrubbery, a little paint
brings happy results, and aside
from ; the effort on our part,
costs little, but speaks volumes
for our thrift, enhances the
value of property and creates a
desire for dwellers of thrift to
oome and abide with us.

'to offset the anxiety of
impending war, May generous

Mexico being miffed cannot
attract much of our "attention
just now. IfHuerta could see
one-of America's average base
