UNCLE JED's TALK TO WIDE
 AWAKEs.

Every boy and girl realizes that the season of the year is at hand when they are going to be interested in different things. The skates and sleds can be put away until next December and games of q different kind will be enjoyed for the next several months.
 With tbe coming of spring nature will burst forth in all its loveliness. the trees and shrubs will commence to spread their foliage, the birds will fit about and sing as they busily prepare their new homes and as the earth is carpeted in an attractive green therell come the flowers and the delightful freedom of running and romping in the great out doors. All this is going to mean the re- sumption of pleasures of yesteryears and indulgence in new ones that come with the addition of years.
 There are those who are watching for the first of the various kinds of birds as they return from the south and there are those who are always finding the first of the flowers as they appear.
 There are those who are going to get ready for their garden patches of vege- tables and flowers. Others may be go- ing to devote their spare time to raising poultry calves, pigs or sheep, and there will be those who will be taking hikes and trips into and about the country. All of these things will be interesting and will give pleasure to the Wide Awalzes who participate in them. It is possible to make them interesting 10 others by writing of your experiences in fi7eSe x-ario1fs ways telling what you contemplate, what you actually accom- plish and the many fine times you enjoy. Next to actually enjoying them Is hear ing about what others are doing. There is always an inspiration in such letters. while there is always the possibility of such good times serving as 2 Suggestion tor others who are looking for something to do but cannot actually decide for themselves what 1t win be.
