eleCI On any VI tHell. speaking VI |
the weather reminds us of remarks we
hear about it. The large majority of
them the people, are apt to find fault.
They do not seem to appreciate the
pleasant winter we have had, the good
roads, the mild and pleasant days.
They only remember the present snow
and mud. But this is only March and
our equinoxal storm that we must ex
pect every year at this period, and we
ought to receive it without fault find
ing. Say, did you ever see such time
as this for gathering news? There is
not an item flying around. Usually
they are like ducks in the spring of the
year, come in focks going north, but
now look at it. No ducks, no news.
What are we to do? If we cannot get
news we do not get newspapers, and We
do not know what is going on in the
world, whether France is going to drive
the sea, and then drive the balance of
the English over into Ireland, or
whether Russia is going to hold onto
Manchura, or whether the Japs will
drive them back into Siberia. But
bark, l hear something buzZing, say it
is flock of items coming this way,
Notwithstanding my fault finding and
l must get my stick and catch few of
them so here goes.
