Has Spring Come? :

has spring come to- stay with
US. an unbroken springtime until
the end Of it's season? There are
signs of it. The mountain in hid
inc its dull, winter robe and re-
placing it with covering of green
is as it we're huge, living monster
arousing from a long sleep, The
sombrpness of the valley and its
cold quietnees is rapidly changing
into a scene Of beauty and joyous
activity. The soft green carpet
in the meadow is thickening, and
the foliage in the orchard is grow
inc more dense, while the birds
sing in its branches and the bees
buzz around its blossoms. All IS
life and JOY and beauty. :,
These are unniistakable evidences
of Spring, but with all these
around us we have seen Winter
with its falling energies make a
last effort to reclaim its lost posses
sions. We have seen the leaf Ia
dened tree Of the forest bent to the
ground with snow, the beauties OF
the orchard covered from view IN
it's GOODNESS ard the green, velYety
carpet Of the meadow spread over
with a blanket of whiteness. The
birds ceased their CHIPPING and the
bees their buzzing.
We have. however. a Spring
time sign that is infallible, and
when YOU, my farmer friends, see
if. conclude at once that a Spring,
that will continue uninterrupted, Is
with us. >,
Look upon the mild-eyed. ola
cow, tie cow that during the win
ter ate nearly all the hay in the
big meadow" and then toward
Spring got on the lift. As she
nips the green grass languidly size
gains strength, but yet she IS very
feeble. At last a hot DAY coiieS'
sne stands dejectedly as to appear
ance. but comfortable, for she is
Sleeping sweetlv as the nice, warm
sunshine beats down on her Iank
sides. While you look, what Il
transformations she is awake, yes,
she has gone-that feeble OLD
thing-down through the meadow
on IA dead run, with her tail stick
ing up like IL pump handle, ana
low in her back. After making IL
mile or so, that should have been
timed had one BEEN ready, she
brings up near the starting point,
and after snoozing "a short while
takes another race.
Warbling birds are an indication
of Spring, but a warbled cow IS
sign that can be relied upon that
Spring is really here.

The American EagIe-One Less

One of these proud high flyers

tons, was. one day last week. with
n single shot from a Winchester

Young hunters, Mr.. Elward Hull.
brought low to the ground, and
nnder the feet of the unerrlng
marksman the once proud BIRD
laid in the dust. When the sweep
ing wings were spread out and
measured they were Z feet and Z
inches from tip to tip Tightly
clasped to one Of his talons WAS
douole-spring fox trap with two
or three feet of chain. For man
to be caught in this predicament
would be to take away his good
name. and we fear that on this ac-
count the nobility of this particn.
lar noble, king bird will have to-
suffer. the heavy trap did not,
however, keep bin from soaring
above the clouds at will.
We cont know how it is with
Mr.. Hull, whether he is very. proud
or not, about this eagle, for he has
fought the bear at close range Ill
the laurel thicket, and killed the
biz antlered buck; but we do know
people who, if they would kill an
eagle, wonld have to be bowed to
very tremendously, with upllfted
hat.

Kidney trouble causes quick or unsteady

over-working in pumping thick, kidney

all constitutional diseases have their begin

The Pilette baseball club played

being 6 to 5 in favor of Crowley.
Capt. Robt. Broussard who was
with the Pilette boys stated to The
Gazette that although beaten they
had no reason to regret their trip to
the hustling young city of Crowley.
They were treated in regal style by
the Crowley boys who excelled
even their own characteristic hos
pitality. Capt. Broussard says
that the Pilette boys are loud in
their praises of the manner in which
they were treated.
