DON'T BE GREEDY
The time has come when people like
to go to the woods on fine days.
When you do go to the woods and
see wildflowers blooming profuse-
ly don't be too greedy about pluck-
ing every bloom. We are in danger
it is said, of exterminating many
species of wild flowers by our greedi-
ness.' Pieltea,•,,few specimens .but 'see
that plenty are left to go to seed
and enlure their 'future growth;
Many beautiful wild, flowers which
used to be eotinnon have become al-
most extinct.

ROBBING FLOWER BEDS
•
We have heard several complaints
this spring from citizensabout, hav-
ing their tulip beds stripped of bloom.
This is an offence and anyone caught.,
at it might be severely dealt with.
but it is also such a mean form of
thievery that it is amazing that any-
one should be guilty of it. Citizens.
who ,take the trouble to beautify
their grounds are public benefactors;

"BITS PICKED UP"
A young mal; in Exeter found a
lady's bristle on the street -the 'other
morning as he wended his way,down
town. It is a puzzle how he knew
what it was, as we believe bustles
have not formed part of • a lady's
"make-up" for a good many years.
However, this was 'evidently a very
"knowing" young man and he seemed
toe recopnize, it at once. Ile' didn't
want to carry the thing about, with
hint, of course, and he didn't seed; to
want to leave it reposing on the walk,
so he carried it •into a .house nearby
where a popular young lady happen-
ed to .vesicle. • She disclaimed . all
knowledge of the thing, however, and
informed the young man that ladies
didn't wear ern now. The matter was
finally cleared. up :by ' the remem-
brance that a "Spinsters' •'•Conven-

churches the, prededing night and it
