Must the Grounding Really Go?
Louisville Courier-Journdl.


Grounding day has been wiped off the cal
ender in Illinois. At least if it hasn't been
wiped off literally it might as well be. The
State Legislature at its session recently closed
placed bounty on the groundhog's scalp and
the act has just become effective. There is
cause for fear that the animals usefulness as
weather prophet is ended. so far as the State Of
Illinois is concerned. The unfortunate crea-
ture will be afraid to come out of his hole to
look for his shadow and the farmers over in
Egypt" will be forced to the dire necessity Of
taking the weather as it comes.
The action of the Illinois Legislature is sur
prising. More than that, it is revolutionary,
iconoclastic, uncalled for and unkind. 1t is a
blow at one of the most cherished traditions of
rural communities. The grounding is more
than a mere animal. He is an institution.
What manner of men are these Legislators who
would refuse him rest in the alluvial soil of
Illinois? Surely the honest farmer must have
constituted the feeble and helpless minority in
that remarkable body, or else he was asleep at
the switch when this vicious piece of legisla-
tive railroading was put over.

traordinary recovery that has baffled the ply
sicians. For many years she had been help
less much of the time being spent in bed. At
other times members of the family put her in
a rolerchair and pushed her about. Years ago
in some manner she had injured her spine and
it was thought she could receive no permanent
benefit. On Tuesday morning, she states. the
thought came to her that she could walk il she
tried. Acting on the mental suggestion she
got out of her bed unaided and began walking
around the house. She seemed to take on new
strength as she continued the exercise, and by
evening was able to go out among her neighbors
and friends. Mr.. John Rogers, her father, who
is a photographer, and several years ago re-
sided in Hagerstown, stated that he was unable
to account for his daughters sudden and re-
markable recovery. She had not been under
treatment"
