GOOD NEIGHBORS

Good neighbors are those that
keep their places neat and clean;
favor painting once in while;
hang Out washing every Mosday
morning; Tuesday is ironing day.
They will lend their lawn NOW
ers if you will deturn it. They will
do The same with a pinch of salt or
an egg or cup of flour. They will
go out of their woy to do a favor.
They like little children and ap-
preciaie that none are perfect.
They keep the garbage can covered
and keep the chickens in their yard
and not in ours.
They are not too curious about
who comes and goes at our house.
They mind their own business an
excellent trait.
What the grocer brings in or the
laundryman carries out doesn't in
terest them. They are not snoopy
if once in awhile there is a good
deal of noise at our house. They
are appreciative, kindly, compan-
ionable and neighborly. They live
