hoped, K would have been much cheeper. The laws that peer had the best crop of chick weed had plan tin ever known in the history of Virginia. I wanted to enter it in the state fair, bat the chick weed died with the hot weather '.and left' large patches of thickbladed grass, so hatefal to keep cut that I longed for the hogwoller of the previous year.

Annually, I work energetically —for the first spring weeks—on the lawn. "This year,” I convince myself, "all those yean of work will begin to pay off. I shall sit, in the cool of the evening, and gase upon the lawn in all its beauty: close-cropped, a perfect, lush, green cyarpet.” ... Ah, iwell, "hope springs eternal. . but the main trouble is, those dratted weeds and hateful crab-grass "spring eternal", also.

"We have nothing to fear but fear Itself.” Perhaps that should he used like the phrase of some years back (you know, the time people were improving by saying "every day in every way I'm getting better and better” until finally they convinced themselves they were better).

One of my greatest fears la children on the highways. I fear a group of little tykes walking along the roadside, for it is never T known but that they will start some game of “tag” and dash in front of. the car just as you get to them, I fear little boys.on bicycles, for they lose their balance and turn into the path of the car.

I fear slick roads where fresh, wet mud has been tracked from gome side road and makes the pavement as if - it has been greased.

In fact, I'm so afraid of highways in general that it’s a wonder my constitution survives the day. This mountainous inferiority complex I’m developing may put me in the condition of cutting out finger nails and chewing paper dolls.

Far in excess of these fears, however, I fear a snivelly headcold.
