ILET US ALL HELP
TO MAKE THE
WORLD BRIGHTER
Beautiful spring weather still con
tinues and eighteen hours of sunshine
out of the twenty-Mur 'is some rec
ompense for the long hard winter we
have experienced. Ysterday the awn
ing section made its appenrnace- on
the north side of Front street and
Dan Crowley got his car out of the
garage and -came along hitting a 10
mile ehp on <the hard trail .
Nearly all of the sidewalks in the
business section of the city have been
cleared off making the walking so
much better. It woul bde a good idea
for nil to clear the snow off in front
of the'ir houses and throw in a few
garden seeds. Vegetable seeds would
lie to more advantage this year, ac
cording to the foodstuff market, and
many tons of garden produce could he
raised right in the city.
There hiyi never been much en
deavor made in Nome to garden the
home sections. Just a few hours work
a week is all that is required to beau
tify the surroundings of a house. The
home is n certain attorney in the city
looks so good to one during summer
that it would a blessing to the com
munity If nil would got in and dig,
for now is the time to start a garden
and fifty cents worth of garden seed
planted around a house makes a’l the
differences in the world. /
Fairbanks in the summer title is so
different front Nome, Almost every
house has its little garden, both flower
and vegetable. It does not take any
time to raise enough vegetables to
keep a family all summer, and the
beautiful flowers—well Just put in the
seed and Old Sol will do the rest.
The school children of the rtty
could do wonders in this matter if
once directed. May day will Roon he
with us. and it migh! he a very fit
ting occasion to get in and make a
start to do somethng toward* making
our city beautiful.
