SIGNS
It accms to be getting around to
that tine of the year when we can
see winter actually descending
upon las. The s .now line is ere ap
ing closer and closer and the
prospectors are returning from the
"Hills”.
We ruriage through our last years
left-overs to sob .if the old* "red
flannels" will wear one jiorc
winter, count'our socks and find
half of them without nates and
the other half full of holes.
* t
We realize suddenly we need the
storm windows on and they all need
repair,.the chimney needs to be
cleaned before we have a 'hot tine'
in the old town*and the cellar
may freeze«. The garage is adver
tising heaters and anti-freeze
fer our cxirs, the mortage needs
a little financial support and the
Fire Insurance must bo renewed.
Ey the time we*‘got through figuring
it all out, our years Inedme is '
.gone and we have just about six
bits left to buy our winters
grub .-stake.
OH WELL, it \von't bo long till
spring, and next year I'll
'DO IT ALL OVEd AGAIN.,
