SPRING SURE IS HERE; LOOK AT THIS.

All doubt was dispelled in the minds of everyone Wednesday as to the arrival of Spring. Spring is here! It rode in yesterday, two days early, when a band of gypsies—regular twentieth century gypsies in automobiles came to town. Perhaps therS will be some who will seek to discredit this story, saying that regular gypsies travel in covered wagons and never use gasoline, but they will of the clan of those living hr the past. Gypsies have progressed the same as everyone else. However, their style of dress has not changed, neither have their characteristics, and their methods of separating the public from its spare change remains the same. Their stay here was brief and they soon whizzed away in their motor cars. Other supporting evidence that Winter is over is the fact that big league ball clubs have started to hike for the sunny southland. Several teams have already entrained for their training camps. The Cubs started thgir annual jaunt last evening, leaving for Pasadena, Cal., where they will do their conditioning for the flag race. The Sox will get away the 21st and have chosen Mineral Wells for their preliminary workouts.
