INDIAN ORCHARD.
Although March is usually a
month of wild wind and changing
weather, it has not beon as wlnter
ish so far. It has been, aside from
the snow upon the ground, more
like May. No doubt spring and win

believe the former will win. For us,
it should be a month when all the
sluggishness of winter is blown out
of our bodies, when our minds are
swept by spring thoughts and made
clean and fresh for the furnishings
of the coming months. It is the
starting point of the year, and we
should welcome it as a time when
wo may get rid of many old notions
and prepare for the new.
