Next Thursday, Feb, 2, is Candlemas
Day when thrifty farmers should have
on hand half their wood and half their
hay" 1t is also an important date on
which to forecast weather conditions
for the next mouth or two. III, at ex-
actly IL m, that day, when the ground
hog awakes from his long sleep and g.
merges from his underground nest, the
sun shines brightly and he DISCOVERIES
his shadow on the ground, he forthwith
returns to his nest for another snooze
of six weeks because winter weather
will continue that much longer. But
if the sky be overcast with clouds, and
he fails to see his shadow at exactly
noon he does not return to his hybernat'
ing room for the backbone of winter is
broken. Learned philosophers wrote
voluminously on this engrossing theme
in ancient times, and we hope readers
