In the gentle spring. trala, the young
(ond ODD mans thoughts turn to house
repairing and improving. And with the
coming OF the housewives Easter bon
let comes the inspiration to repaint the
dwelling. Then of course the front
yard must be soGded up and the garden
Installed in the back yard. Such i'm
provemrnts are being carried out all
over Topeka and perhaps in no part
1rlde being manifested than in the
FIRST ward at this time. Credit is part
~ cue to the Civic club.
While considerable was done in this
last spring. the good work is being
redoubled now. On nearly every street,
houses are being repainted, repaired
and remodeled. Several are installing
plumbing and making their dwellings
modern.
1t is as catching as the measles

of paint or bundles under his arm re-

some. Guess there will be something
doing on our premises too. We can't
let them get ahead of US" And soon
there are evidences of progress and
prosperity, not only in that neignbor's
house, but III the entire block.
Among those who are improving
their property is D. H. Hail. who is
