Saturday was the day for the ground
hog to regulate the weather for the
next six weeks. The sun shone little
although not very brightly, the ground
hog could see his shadow-at least in
spots, and so he goes back to his hole
to stay for six weeks longer during
which time winter is to hold supreme
sway upon the earth. How would we
know all this were it not for the vener-
able ground hog

Foxes are very sly creatures, but
we never heard until the other day that
even dead fox could stop mill. But
that is just what happened at Camp
BELLS mill last week. One OF ;he
wheels stopped entirely and the water
had to be drawn off to examine what
was wrong, when it was found that a.
dead fox was tightly wedged into the
Turbine wheel and stopped it. 1t is
thought that the fox had been chased
by dogs until utterly exhausted, and
falling into the dam or hea race thus
found his way into the wheel.
