Everything that ought to be green
is getting just that. The winter Just
past has been above the normal in
ten perature and vegetation is more
adVanced; only man is behind. But
don t kick him as to the blowing part:
it has been wet, but if he is behind
in normal preliminaries, then go to it;
kick, If you want to.

and r. P.) was broken into Saturday
night. A little over $500 was in the
cash drawer, and was taken. Some
