WHY I LIKE SUMMER.

There are a great many reasons
why / like summer better than any
other season of the year.
] like summer because you can go
TO the seashore and stay for weeks
and go In bathing every day you are
there. You can go on picnics and
mixes almost every day.
You can go to the country and have
wonderful time. You can help
thrash the grains. bring In hay and
all Of the different grains. You can
drive the horses and also can go In
bathing II there is pond. lake, or a
river anywhere near.
] like to he in the country for the
Fourth OF July celebration. because
the country people are more friendly
than most city people. They always
have great quantity of good things
to eat and soft drinks to drink. and
at supper time they always have n
big supper. You can have a lot more
pleasures in the summer think,
than any other season OF the year.
SO ! wish the whole year around
was summer instead OF being spring,
summer, fall and winter.

For mo this is subject that is
not hard to decide. AS have al
ways thought spring the most beau
tifu' OF seasons. Spring is a time
Of resurrection. when everything Ia
returning TO life after the deadly
fail and winter. The trees. grass
and flowers peep out. Oh. what a
beautiful sight. The birds begin to
sing. the world Is alive and all are
happy. Even the animals are glad
They have suffered from the cold
and were hungry. Now they are
warm and can eat the tender young
grass and buds. Spring is the only
season in which we are naturally
comfortable. In fall and winter we
must have wood and coal or we
would suffer. In summer we need
Ice and electric fans. We need none
of these in the spring, the days are
neither too cold or too hot. Spring
is time Of beauty, comfort and
economy.

The season I like best is summer
when the sky larks ny lazily in the
summer sky.
Little birds are seen on the warm
summer morning seeking food for
their young.
The tiny flowers peep their little
heads above the earth to stare dizzlly
at the warm sun.
The trees are budding and tiny
leaves begin to grow after the win
ter's frost has melted.
They shade the rivers and we can
lie for hours in the boat on n lake
and stare into the summer sky.
or we may go in the woods and
gather flowers. Oh, such beautiful
flowers. and the orchards are pink
and white.
The rising sun gives a beautiful
scene and the farmer sows his seed
and we also sec the waving of amber
grain waving its beautiful self at the
