In Springtime the Fly;
Swat Tin, Or You Die;
New Poem by Mitchener
In Springtime young men s
thoughts usually turn to romance.
IAit Doc. Mitchener, county health
officer, is daffy on the subject of
flies. He has written more po'try
and the pome printed below is about
flies. Doc. really thinks it's good
True, the geography of the piece is
a little bit twisted, but well, "edi
torial comment" is to be withheld.
Here goes:
"In the early days of Spring,
Our friend the fly begins to sing.
If we him do not now prevent
Lo! The disease that will be sent
"To you who own a stable,
Keep it clean as you would your
table!
For there we know flies' eggs are
laid
And do please often use a spade.
"Your houses you should screen
Lest, on the food he will be seen;
And when of this you do partake
From . filth, sick yourself you'll
make.
"You must connect with the sewer
And open closets make fewer;
For there germs which make one
die
Are found when visited by the fly
"Your back yard of trash now
make free
So that no waste you can see,
And when suddenly appears your
friend,
No apologies you should begin.
"Po not think your high fence
Will keep us from using common
sense
And know not it hides many faults,
As gold is kept secure m vaults
"So, folks, since Springtime now is
nere,
Take advice, for life is dear.
And screen the house and clean
the stable
And keep that fly off the table!"

Always or nearly always you will find
us just a little ahead of the season in
showing you the new things. Natural
ly you can expect us to be prepared to
show you the things you want a little
better than other stores. And you
can usually get a better value here just
for these reasons we prepare earlier
by buying far ahead and at lower pric
es than if we buy late in the season.
Now
We are showing a full line of swings,
hammocks, porch furniture, refriger
ators and other furnishings you'll need
during this mild Spring weather arid
later on in the Summer.
