*re “a joy” for this month of June, and not much of “a job.” They are set out and nature does the rest.
We may oh! and ah! over some ^single specimen of a magnificent rose which comes from a welltended rose garden. It is truly a joy and we quickly realize thai it has been a job.
The burst of color along the fence rows, where all the roses are a-bloom, presents a Bight unequalled by the lady’s best garden.

Roses are red; violets are blue; sugar’s sweet, but. it spoils good coffee.
The above opinion belongs to me. It does not represent JtRje thinking of any or all of the peopleof the state of Virginia or the county of Rappahannock, nor even a fraction of the citizenry thereof.

From the great Yankee city of New York comes news of the “Bill of the Month Club.”
It’s an idea of two New Yorkers to help their fellows pay the bills. They offer to pay all your bills for you—all you have to do ia supply the money. (I knew there was a catch in it somewhere.)
The club charges $6 a month, for the service. They’ll write pleasant letters to creditors, and if your bills exceed what you have to pay on them, they’ll prorate it, pay everybody something and keep the creditors satisfied with a soothing letter. At least that’s what they promise. (I wonder do they prorate their own fees, too.)
Yep, give us another century or two, and we’ll get all of man’s troubles organized, catalogued, turned over to an agency for a fee, dhd all iwe’lf have to do is work and turn all our money over to them. It sounds like the simple solution—only I’m not real sure who’s simpler; my name may be Simon.
