These liquid spring days mg.ke a
feller feel like a fly that has pok
ed it’s foot into the sticky fly pa
^er, They do say that If a man’s foe
will slip, spring will kick it out
from under him. "
That warm sun sort of poisons th<
blood with an immovable'indifference
as'to the results of his acts3 and a
man. so. afflicted is hardly to'••be - ' • '
blamed for the results of it.. CLLY,
the fellow whose foot slips- now, wil.
only have to blame his own judgement
if he don’t do right by his oblig
ations.
An ocean trip is a nice vacation,
but It does not last long enough.
So, stick to ycur knitting, boys.
The lazy Sp r tngtime ie o1i i_-gs•wi11 be
over very shortly, and when the plrw

row, you’ll have the same sensation
the slot-machine player has when he
thinks hq might hit the jack-pot.

That magazine of dynamite is oner
for anything from a'pop-gun salute
to a ten-hour barrage; it will min
ister to any ailment from a mild
headache to an awful pain in the
neck,...only thing is: the contri
butor must si^n his or her name to
the letter. Profane of obscene
matter will net be printed. So if
you have a growl coming-- or if
you only think you have, shoot it
DOGS
3 Bollard Dean of Tract 159 says
he wishes some folks would use a
little consideration. He is try
ing to raise mink, and has been
having quite a lot of trouble due
i to strange dogs harrassing his an
imals .
Thera 'are too many loose dogs
running around the Colony as it is.
Persons owning them should take
rains to keep track of them; to see
that their rets do not do damage
which might exasperate someone to a
point where he might feel .it neces
-sary to take’harsh measures in pro
tection of his rreperty.
Many a regrettable argument has
begun over lax control of dogs. Lei
us hope nothing like that will hap
pen in the Colony.
* * * * BORGS
T iG expect ant' T^oks on the mans
cf the dozens of rurps who haunt
the rear 'cf' the me.ss-hall at meal
time would wring the..heart of a
brass detective*• * Some, day someone
will"walk out of the mess-hall witl
a sandwich in his hand, fall down,
and. get so mixed up with the pooch
es heTll come’out of’the melee wag
ging his tail* .
. DISGUISES
Tup. soring snows cf last, week
-certainly brought out the black
glasses* There were mere myster
ious .people ambling around Palmer
with dark spectacles on**. But that
Is lots better than snorting a pail
of sore eyes* Old Sol n-uts out a
brilliant glare, hitting the newly
fallen snow.
FIRST REDBREAST
Lawrence Rorriscn, Tract 112,
claims he saw the first robin of
the season out at his place a coup]
of days ago* Won’t be long now be
fore the kids will be going bare
foot in the mud*
