School House Question Again.

Editor Herald:
have read with interest the re-
port of the special school meeting
held Jan. 18th, published in your
paper.
No doubt the sentiment as eX-
pressed at the meeting was against
new building, propably the late
financial disturbance, and this years
taxes have had much to do with
forming such sentiment
Upon reflection, | believe this
adverse sentiment will be changed.
After thinking earnestly over this
question l have changed my mind,
and if I attend the next school meet
ing, Feb. 4th, will vote for new
building-for the following reasons:
There seems to be need for more
room as teachers say so, the COM
mittee says so, the board says so.
Years ago g crowded condition
could not be helped, but We live in
a different age, and we do not think
to do in our own homes now what
we were compelled to do as pioneers.
After financial trouble. such as
we have had building ought to be
cheaper than the estimate given by
the committee figures, that is, if
building were put up this season,
and If construction of same is let
to lowest bidder owing to a slack
ness in work of this kind, which we
surely fall this season.
What we pay out in taxes. most
ly come back to us Indirectly, es-
pecially to the business man and
laboring man. The burning of the
brick to be used, quarrying and
hauling of the stone, the carpenter
work, rplastering, etc., transfers the
cash from the pockets of these who
really can afford to pay it out, to the
pockets of those who depend upon
their daily labor for a living, in
turn. going back to the business
man.

What is Ground Hog Day?

The origin of Ground Hog Day is
accounted for in The HOusekeeper
for February in the following way:
February 2, or Candlemas Day, was
a favOrite holiday, marked by
public gaietY and ceremonies IN
Europe during the Middle Ages. It
is still marked there by the closing
of banks and offices. but not other
wise, outside of the reading of
church services. In the Church
Calendar it is known as the Feast of
Publication of the Virgin, and was
first instituted by Pope Serg1us.
about the year 684 A. D The
popular name OF the day is derived
from the early custom of lighting
up the churches with candles and
carrying these in procession on this
festival.
AS to the weather superstition
that gives TO Candlemas the name
of grounding day." that is a
world wide fable. In Germany it
is the badger that breaks his winter
nap on this day to essay the thank
less task of weather prophecy; IN
France and Switzerland it is the
marmot, in England the hedge hog.
Observation shows that none of
these small animals do thus observe
the date fixed, also that the weather
on this date doesg not accurately
foretell that of the following two
months. as is supposed. But it is a
general truth that in temperate
at;tudes, warm and sunny weather
in the first half of February is apt
to be followed by a change and
cool spring, and on this fact our
grounding and badger stories are
founded.

That there is no possibility of a
war with Japan and that the sail
ing of the fleet TO the Pacific is not
threat to any nation were the
opinions expressed by Secretary
Taft at the banquet of the Ohio
Society at Philadelphia Tuesday
night. But he added that it was
sometimes helpful to have it under
stood that you can back up what
you say. The influence of the navy
N the Orient could not but be of
great benefit.

caster merchants who do the largest
business are those who advertise
literally in the columns of The
Herald. It's circulation is large and
it reaches every section OF the
county, hence it cannot fail to pay
merchants who use its space to tell
the people what they have to sell
and the advantageous conditions
under which it can be bought. For
instance at holiday time the stores
that advertised were crowded with
customers up to the hour of closing
the night before Christmas and they
did an enormous business.
