don't pay any attention to where the
walks run—but insist cn stopping
over your flower beds (and into
them)—and drive up on your nice
green lawn to turn around when you
have a wonderful road that is most
attractive for autos. Now I’ll say—
what you gonna do? You can’t put
signs all over your place saying—”
plaint* don’t turn around over here in
this flower bed for it is f uli of bulbs
just coming up.” People would think
you were crazy if you painted a sign
red and stuck it up somewhere at the
front of your house—and on it the
words in black—“DANGER—lawn
just planted with grass seed—don’t
drive your horse and buggy over it.’’
Likewise they might think you a fit
subject for the home across the creek
if you fenced in your drive way with
barb wire w> that folks could see
they were not expected to drive any

also—when nice people are going to
ride and they decide they want to
turn around and go back the way they
came instead of following the road—
should you have to put up a green
sin at tho edge of your yard saying
—’’ Please—if you just MUST turn
around hero—don’t back up into my
tulip bed—it will be right behind
you—there is plenty of room—watch
your step.” Now—honestly—think
about this folks—(of course I know
that not a one of you who are read
ing this EVER did such a think in
ALL your live*—but there are SOME
who have and do.) Just during the
past two weejea—I have had my tulip
bed—and a bulb bed bed—and some
new planta just put out—backed in
to—>snd run over—and oh my graci
ous I don't know what else done to
them all because folks didst look
and think. One night—some nice
boy or assn that dnve out here to
bring a massage for the good man
of the house—maybe from his fath

back—he wouldn't follow the circu

out with no trouble)—but he back
ed once—he backed twice—ho back
ed the third time—and each time he
rained a plant—and run over sev
eral bulbs that were bravely defying
the weather—and when I did go out
and see it the next day—well friends
it woudn’t have done for my preach
er to have beer, looking at me that
time—for I surely didn’t have on
my prayer-meeting face.
This is just a warning to all con
cerned—it is merely
may be interested—that anybody can
say almost anything to me—but
when they get to fouling around my
crepe myriJt; when they step on a
red tulip; when they cut across my
lawn in wet weather or allow their
