FORECAST FOR MAY

Previous

From the 1st to the 10th spring house-cleaning will take place. Look out for soft soap on the stairs. Meals will be served to gentlemen down town. There is no place like home during spring house-cleaning—this is why home is so generally avoided during that period.


From the 10th to the 20th buds will burst with deafening reports and the grass will do some fancy shooting.


From the latter date to the end of the month people will discard their woolens for pneumonia.


The zodiacal sign for May is Gemini, or twins. If you see a stork skulking about your residence, shoot it. May is an open month on storks.

Gardening Note:
If you sow wild oats you are likely to reap a crop of "tares."
