GROUND"HOG DAY.

IOIu llIuc III III IuOi it' Il Nb' -,
known in church calendars as
Candlemas and in common par
lance as ground hog day-has been
looked upon as weather indicator
for the remainder of the winter.
The reason for this belief is not
very clear, but the day has loug
been a mystic one among the wea-
therwise.
The day, being the feast of the
publication of the Virgin, took the
church name of Candlemas from
the number of candles used in the
professions, and the old English
rhyme of prophecy ran thus:
"If Candlemas be bright and clear,
Two winters will fall in the year."
Meaning that if the day was
bright there would be long spell
of bitter weather before the COM
ing of the spring-a second winter
to the one that had gone with jan
uary. Superstitious peoplh regula-
ted their affairs by this sign. laid
in extra fuel, began or delayed
their crop preparations.
In America, where Candlemas
WAS not 50 commonly observed, the
weather wise-acres looked out for
other signs, just how the little wood
chuck, commonly called ground
hog, because of it's roofing abilities,
came to be chosen to bear the man
tie of forecaster no one seems to
know. AS the hunters and woods
men were the closest observers of
weatherconditions and Indications,
it is quite possible that they obser-
we'd that when these little rodents
cane ont on a clear day they were
forced to go again into winter
qurters by a return of cold and
snow. The legend grew, as le-
gends will grow, that if the ground
hog, which was supposed to leave
it's burrow on Feb. 2, came out at
IL O'Clock and saw it's shadow. in
the sunshine, 1t Immediately be-
came frightened and ran back to its
home to hibernate another six
weeks, for there was sure to be that
much more cold and stormy wealth
er. If on the contrary, the day
was cloudy and he saw no shadow,
he knew the worse of the winter
was over with, and 30 dared to re-
main above ground, seeking the
early vegetation on which he sub
sisted. Thus we see parallel be-
tween him him and the old Eng
lish Candlemas rhyme.
Thursday of last week was
ground-hog day, and at Ii O'Clock
there was quite sunshine enough to
cast a shadow; so if the queer little
rodent is not a false prophet, the
man who ventures to hock his
overcoat, to "take 'em off" or to
neglect his coal pile be "some" sor-
ry.-Commercial Appeal.

were about one hundred or more
delegates attending the meeting,
representing the best citizenship of
their communities, thus showing
the interest that is being in the CO.
operative method building the pro-
posed highway.
The officers of the Association
are going to lead you lively chase
in lis enterprise. We have no ak
to grind or interest to subserve
'uore than promoting an interest in
better road system in the State
Lit is our intention to set the exam
pie, hoping that others will follow.
Some of us know how to- build
roads, we know of the details nec-
essary to build good roads and
while we may not succeed in every
detail toward the completion of
Translate highway, we will at
least set the pace for better pub
lie road system in the State.
If knowing how, and what it will

OF thousands of men and boys,
teams and wagons, tools and road
machinery, all cooperating freely
and working under men who are to
carry out the instructions issued by
men who know how, will build a
road, then there is no question of
our ultimate success.
TO this end we call upon all men
of every avocation, to join in the
good work Of building a highway
from Memphis to Bristol. We
willset the pace, give the directions
and will ask others to follow.
A number of counties along the
different proposed route have COM
pleted their county organization
and are taking the proper steps to
secure subscriptions of money and
material, men and boys to work
with their wagons, tools, ETC., for
two days next August. Some of

their organization.

In order to intelligently carry
out my part of the provisions of

the eleven men, because when each

each county fair chance to show
how much they are interested in
this matter, and for that reason, l
will not select the commission OF
eleven until April l, 1911.

us and do something for the bene-

RULES FOR COMMENCEMENT

The girls of the Logansport high
school, class of 1911. are blessed
among graduates, says the Journal, of
that place. Here are the resolutions
adopted by them at a recent meeting:
l. Each girl shall wear a plain
white dress, plainly made and of in
expensive material.
2. The dresses. as nearly as possible
shall be made fthe same pattern.
plain black slippers.
4. No girl shall wear any jewelry.
Now doesn't that sound sensible?
The girls have planned to make
graduation day a day of achievement
rather than one of display with a
dressmaker's parade as its principal
feature. Richmond girls should do
likewise. Graduation has come to be
a bugbear for all concerned, but most
of all for the perents who are COM
PEELED to provide the clothes. There
are costumes for banquet day and
dance; church costumes for the bac-
calaureate sermon; the outfit for
graduation itself, and thousand and
one details for toggery in general.
These elaborate turnouts have be-
come a drain upon the purse no family
cares to meet, and If there can but be
a reaction to simpler graduation
gowns universal rejoicing will surely
take place.

tons. A large electrical emblem
made In the form OF the Greek frater-

FADS AND FASHIONS

New York. April 29.-During the
past few months the large shops have
made a great display Of tailored cos
tunes in medium weight materials
and recently they have added many
charming models OF still lighter tail

silk for spring wear. 1t is always well

al plainly tailored suit for rough wear.

combine the two is seldom successful,
but many women now do away with
the dressy tailored coat and skirt and
blouse, or three-piece costume. substi-

Some extremely pretty models are
now appearing IN the exclusive shops.
They are in changeable taffetas with
etamine or chiffon in combination. and
while there has for some time past
been a prejudice against taffeta the
most autocratic makers are certainly

of the newest taffetas are really love

changeable effects are beautiful.
Skirt and short smart coat costumes
of the changeable taffeta, the skirt
mounting high and joined to dainty
bodice of changeable etamine in the
same color as the taffeta mounted
over white and touched with embroid-
cry in the two colors, are built up on
varying lines by different designers
and in beautiful colorings. Very dark
blue and rather vivid green are
good in this changeable silk. A soft
brown combines well with an old blue.

deep golden yellow Another idea de-
veloped successfully in changeable col
orings is the frock of changeable eta
mine trimmed in soft ruches of firing

1t may be remarked here that
ruches are evidently finding consider
able favor and one sees them trim

most artistic and charming models
shown in one of the shops was an ex-
quisite fine fancy net in the yellowed
