GROUNDH0G'S DAY
The Indications Are Favorable for an
Early Spring and Good Crop Year.

Yesterday was grounding day The
grounding or woodchuck is one and the
same animal except in name. Scientif-
cally the grounding is woodchuck, but
to the ordinary people it is simply a
grounding. Marvellous are the stories
related of the grounding. Its doings
on the second day of February of each
year or thereabout impress many super
stitious people as does the moon about
planting time II its potatoes time the
'tatter seed must go in the ground on
the dark of the moon; if corn on the
light of the moon, and so forth, and 50
forth.
According to tradition, should the
grounding see his shadow on the
ground on the day fixed for his coming
out of his hole after his long winters
nap, sucking his tail, he will become be-
wildered at his shadow if sunshiny
day and Immediately hop into his hole
and pull the home after him, nor will
it venture outward for forty days and
nights thereafter.
Fortunately as the day was cloudy and
showery and it could not see its shadow
on the ground over which it was de-
lighted After trimming its whiskers
and squirting its eyes with self satisfac-
ton it retired at pleasure into its hole,
from which il. will peep at leisure when
inclined to survey its SURROUNDINGS n.
few weeks it will e7rrerge- aaiEQIll iis hols
regardless of sunshine or clouds, AZ n.
which, as the legend goes, is favorable
for an early spring and big crop year.
So mote it be.

On Tuesday morning, at her home in
New Orleans, Miss Cornelia A. Beck
died of heart disease. In referring to
her demise the Times-Democrat says
Few women have borne as enviable a
record as Miss Beck For the past thir-
ty years she has been teaching in the
public schools of New Orleans and for
fifteen years has been a principal Not
only i'll the public schools has she been a
faithful worker in the cause of educa-
tion, but for half a century she has
trained young minds in Christian prin-
ciples as teacher in the Sunday school
of St. Georges Episcopal church. More
than this, in addition to imparting
knowledge direct, her splendid character
and noble life was itself an inspiration
to the young people in her charge
Miss Beck was born in New Orleans
seventy-two years ago. While never
pressing to the front to seek public
praise, she spent her time and energies
in the interest of those under her charge
and was always present in any educa-
tionaf gathering ready to serve when
called upon. She was a member of the
New Orleans Educational Association.

SENATOR McENERY'S CHARGE
Senator McEnery charges the high
price of the necessities of life to the
cold storage plants He says these in
animate creatures get hold of the stuff
and prevent the consumer from getting
it in his possession untilt the shortage in
the market forces prices up. The con-
sumer is not benefited one cent when
he is told the cause of the exorbitant
prices. He is interested in the man who
will suggest the ways and means of low
ering the professionalism Journal.
It is surprising that Senator McEnery
has not charged the responsibility or
the consumers who, as alleged by full
fledged Republican in Congress, have
been eating too much meat

HERE'S A PUZZLE:
 EXPLAIN THIS

Chicago. Jan. 3-With the eXcep- ton of steaks and veal, every staple form of meat has been doubled in cost to the consumer in the last ten years. President Taft laid the blame for the increased cost of living to the fact that a better class of food was being eaten yet bacon which was con- sidered formerly the most plebian dish, has advanced from 12 to 36 cents a pound in 10 years and now selling at , cents higher than the
 choicest sirloin steak. Vegetables and every staple article of food IS higher while the increase in produc ton of vegetables and fruits has greatly exceeded the growth of the population.

WASHINGTON'S GREAT
APPLE CROP.

commercial OrcnarQlSCS III washing
ton estimate the apple crop in the
state this season will be between 3, :
400, 600 and $500, 600 boxes, or about
$500 cars, the bulk of which will go
to New York, Boston, Philadelphia,
Chicago, st. Paul and other points in
eastern, central and southern states.
Export shipments also will be larger
than at any time in the history of the
state.
Though there is every promise that
the yield will be the largest ever har-
vested in Washington, owing to hun
dreds of thousands Of trees coming in
to bearing this season, growers say
there will be no cheap apples the
coming fall and winter. They are in
position, financially and otherwise, to
hold a big percentage of the crop and
will take advantage of the market be-
cause of the curtailed production in
the central states, by holding their
fruit not already contracted for until
top prices are reached.
+. A. Huntley, state horticultural
commissioner, after comparing reports
from deputy commissioners in various
parts of the commonwealth, said there
is every reason to believe the crop this
year will be more than double that OF
1907. when l, 425, 600 boxes were ship
ped out OF the state, while officers of
the Washington horticultural associa-
ton are of the opinion the yield will
be from 125 TO $50 per cent larger than
any yet boxed.
Growers in the Yakima valley ex-
pect to ship from $3.50 to 500 cars,
and shippers in the Wenatchee valley
predict that more than 2, 900 cars will
90 forward from that district. Walla
Walla and Spokane valleys should
ship fully 800 cars. The Cashmere
vale in the foothills of the Cascade
mountains will put out from 200 to
$50 cars, and the Entiat district be-
tween Wenatchee and Lake Chelan
expects to find markets for 100 cars.
The Chelan district, 40 miles above
Wenatchee, yet in it's infancy, will
ship more than 125 cars, exclusive OF
large quantities contracted for by
mining camps and hotels in north
central Washington, and orchardists
in the Brewer district, 80 miles north
CT Chelan. look for from 40 to 80 cars.
There will be sufficient fruit for more
than 100 cars but there are no facili-
ties for getting it to transportation
lines at the present time. This will
be remedied by the extension OF the
Great Northern railroad in that dis
trict early in the coming spring.
The Methow valley and Okanogan
and Stevens counties will send out
several hundred cars, as will the grow
ers at White Salmon, Underwood and
Goldendale, and it is estimated that
other districts in Klickitat, Benton,
Whitman, Columbia, Asotin, Frank
lin and Spokane counties will have
from 100 to $50 cars. The crop on
the west side of the Cascade noun
tains is estimated at from 300 to 35C
cars.
There are many growers in the state
who believe the crop will go above 5,
$50, 600 boxes or more than 7, $50 cars,
and in proof of this they point to the
