is nothing if he is not obstinate. He
insists that Grounding day is Febru-
ary 18th, and not February 2.
When the pilgrims landed in 1920
they had no Tice, Hicks, Foster or
weather observation bureau and the
grounding was their only anchor Of
safety 80 far as the weather Was con-
cerned. The grounding Was watched
by them and it was then the day was
fixed on candlemas day, As ground

world a mythical yarn ON the size Of
the pumpkins raised in that
beleaguered state.
Grounding day is February ?,
and will remain so.

CITY POLITICS.

1t is now only about a month until
the political parties make their nomi-
nations for aldermen. There are four
aldermen to be elected this spring,
but thus far, very little has been said
or thought, apparently, Of the matter
by the public of any political party.
In the last few days there has been
some little allusiOn to the matter of
selecting candidates by the various
parties in the various wards, by those
who take an interest in such matters,
and it is presumed that interest in this
regard will now increase and soon be-
come active. 1t is generally thought
that Councilman Bell Hutchinson will be
the democratic candidate for re-elec-
ton in the first ward. rs he has made
a most excellent and satisfactory Of
ticer and is a strong man. There are
some in the third ward who want ex-
Richard Olmstead, to be-
come the democratic nominee in that
ward, again, and suggestions have
been made to thBi effect. 1t is not
known if Mr.. Olmsiead wants or
would accept nomination. but bet
ter man could not be selected. He
has served the city before as alder
man with credit and satisfaction and
is thoroughly acquainted with the
needs and condition OF the city. He
Is a strong man and it is predicted by
many that if he will accept the nomi-
nation he can be elected.

"CARD OF THANKS"

The BAZoO desires to raise its voice
against the custom fast growing in
Missouri Of people publishing a ''card
OF thanks" in the papers to friends
for courtesies and kindnesses extended
during the sickness and at the death
Of beloved one.
Ar matter of course, friends and
neighbors extend kindnesses, and to
publicly thank them is nncalled for,
and in positive bad taste.
1t is reasonable to suppose that the
bereaved ones are thankful. but to go
into the public prints is to parade their
grief.
One rarely sees anything Of the
kind in metropolitan papers, for the
reason that such publications there
must he accompanied by a fee for ad-
vertising. The provincial press make
these announcements. generally with
cut money and without price, hence
the "card Of thanks"
The latest is noticed in q Cas-
county newspaper. where those re
naming now on earth thank the
doctor for his attentions. Why not
follow This up with a ''csrd Ofthanks"
to the undertaken and the grave dig
gery
The BAZOO would like to hear from
the press Of the state ON this subject,
and sec II reform cannot be inaugu-
rated.
Hereafter such cards will be charged
for by THE BAzoo, and that will tend
largely to their not being printed.

A Kentucky eslitor announces his
belief that the Worlds Fair will have
tendency to reduce the number of
weddings this year. The reason, ac-
corling to this philosopher. is that
every man who marries between now
and September will he forced to take
his bride to the great exposition.
Nothing else will do, and when man
first marries they sav he cant refuse
with the proper degree of firmness.
IF these speculations and differences
and deductions are correct it IL ap-
parent that lots Of the bachelors will

realization of their hopes. - Hmos"r
Reric,r.
THE BAzoO does not agree with the
Kentucky editor. 1t believes there
will be more weddings this year than
ever before. Ii believe that ''all the
world loves lover" and it also be-
lievcs that there will be more lovers
who will want to take their sweet
hearts to the Worlds Fair than any
other class of people. Under the cir
cumstances is il not natural t" sup
pose that when one room would do for
a man and wife and TINS expenses he
saved. that weddings will prevail. The
Kentucky editor will have his hands
full, if he connts the brides and
grooms that Will be at the fair, and he
will also have to call in help if he Mt
tempts to measure the happiness which
will bubble over and efferyasce when
the newly welded are taking in the
sights. If he II bachelor he viii
want tn get married and If he is al
ready married be will want to get
right back to first principles.
