z HE most potent sign
Of spring was on
Wednesday when at
noon the thermometer
J stood. In some places,
at seventy-six. That would vary
all over town. but everyone was
conscious OF the warm rays Of
the sun. and OF their nearness.
We always feel that spring is not
so far behind the robins and the
daffOdils, but there has been
much cool weather since the
fOrenamed made their return
appearance. Other signs this
week have been hOp-scOtch and
baseball. The Fairgrounds. out
at school have been full of boys
throwing balls. and catching
them. running bases and all the
rest, in preparation for the
school ball season. In many
places one sees small squares
marked off for the game that
girls enjoy as soon as the wealth
er is good. There must be rings
for marbles too. somewhere
around. So "the years at the
spring"
