HARB INGERS

Be patient if you freeze your feet while trudging
through the slush and seet; already winters grow
Ing gray, and soon he'll bow and say Good day!"
I see some harbingers around; the grass shows
greensh on the ground; a bughouse bird is seen
anon cavorting on the frosted lawn. And in the
grocers moral store seed packages are seen once
more When once the grocer digs up Seeds to meet
the garden growers needs we wot that winters on
the wing, and that we're due to welcome spring
This morning as went my way, heard the village
marshal say "This year I'll bark to no excuse-no
chickens must be running loose. The owners Of all
hungry hens must keep the blamed things In their
pens, according to the statutes made and which by
all must be obeyed." He says the same thing every
year. when winters billed to disappear and then
forgets it in the spring, when chickens scratch like
everything. But it's harbinger all right; 1t indi-
Gates that springs in sight. The marshal makes his
yearly bluff, and then farewell to wntry stuff to
foolish storms and silly gales to biting wind that
shrieks and walls The gentle spring will soon re-
turn for there are harbingers to burn
