We remember a song that
was once a great favorite
as an encore. The words
were something like this:
81 know, blue modest ViO-
let, the place you came
from. When God cut holes
in heaven for the stars to
peep through, He let the
scraps fall to earth and
they are you"
Wherever viOlets and other
flowers originated they are
natures supreme gift to
her children. The one
token Of her love that has
never been and will never
be initiated by man.
Who can approach the rich,
deep color combinations of
the pansy, or the delicate
shading Of the orchid?
How we love flowers. If
there were only more of
them. Springtime means
flowers. That's why we
hail its coming so joyously.

After Kremer J. caught onto his

happy that he could not refrain from

BARROWs IS COMING BACK.

Barrows, an iron mining burg
south of Brainerd, in Crow Wing
county, took a hard tumble when
local mines closed down. This
spring, despite the black eye re-
ceived by the iron mines, Barrows
Unexpectedly has blossomed out as
a place for truck gardening, rails
ing chickens, and a general indul-
gence in the back to the soil move
ment.
In consequence of this rivival at
Barrows, H. A. Peterson, cashier Of
the First State bank Of Barrows and
townsite agent, is the busiest man
in three counties. People are flock
ing to Barrows, renting new homes
at moderate rental, acquiring garden
plots and truck lands.
George Hislop Is negotiating to
put in a large chicken ranch. Many
people are renting homes in Barrows
and carrying on their livelihood In
Brainerd. Convenient bus service
is to be inaugurated between Bar
rows and Brainerd. Barrows, by the
way Is only five miles from Brain
erd and reached by a fine road, so 1t
is really a suburb Of the county seat.
