are you, Haps, this windy March? l think

here. The subject MIR. Hap has selected IS
like best.
am Glad to sec the Haps doing so much

ilaps. what do you think about the many
dreamers we have in our bands II looks
strange to me that since Joe Farmers first
Il docks as II Joe was the ringleader. for they
have Just followed him like they hat to.
don't mean to say the dreams are not inter-
esiing, but 1t looks like II would be better to
do something else and not have so many a. q
kind.
/ suppose all the girls have planted their
flowers. | have not planted any yet. II rs so
dry II is useless to plant until IL rains Every
body around here lost nearly all their flowers
during that cold spell. VI was the coolest
weather that has has been felt In n loSg time
People who have lived here for forty years
say 1t Is the first time they ever saw the Colo
rado river frozen over. The river looked very
pi city frozen.
Well what has become of Sunrise and sun
SET, Sunset Wood and others? Have they de-
serted us. Good bye. Your true Hap,
Lena DELAY.
