rometsr's pranks of ice and frost and chilly
weather impatient farmers have dropped po-

spring and vegetation. However, 'all things
come to him who waits" and we are thus en-.
couraged.

This community awakening from lethargy
of long standing, has at last realized the ne
cessty of telephone connection with the out
side world. Definite action will soon be taken
