s. MORE WEEKS
OF WINTER DUE

We are going to have six more
weeks of winter IL certain signs do
not fail. 1t all happened this morn
ing when the grounding came out
of his hole and seeing his shadow,
seampered back again to remain I'M
til the middle of March. Although
the day has been partly cloudy there
was just enough sun visible on Mr..
Monax's time, as he is called IN the
big dictionary. to make him snuff
the cold air and go back to his hid
ing place for the next six weeks.
An early spring would have been
the prophecy If the sun had re-
manned Behind the clouds all day, In
stead of coming out at this time.
There are non-belieyers In this le-
gendary prophecy nut it Is general
lly accepted as reliable. On Staten
Island the grounding was reported
to have come out two days ahead
of time, but as yet no confirmation
of the report has been received.

WHAT Is $

Evidently in Kansas it IS any ola
thing for the State Board of Health
Of that state has issued an order that
ali hash served at boarding houses
and public eating places must be MADE
in accordance with 4 standard Tor
mula. The formula has not yet been
given out.
Our old friend Long, from Cabar-
rus, wished to live long enough to see
all whiskey- ana1yzed as fertilizer is
analyzed. lie held that if the state
spent its money to ~analyZe fertilizer
that went into the ground, it was all
the more important to analyze Whis-
key that went into the stomachs OF
its citizens. Wasn't there q great deal
Of sense in the position Of The Cabar-
1us statesman, which was taken gen
orally as q Joke?
When it comes 10 hash, there is
rctIing in the world SO good as hash,
particularly turkey hash two days af-
ter Christmas, but when you buy
hash at some public eating houses
there is no telling what YOU are get
ting, and evidently, some Of the Kan
sas eating houses have been makin2
hash Of snaps and snails and pa
dog tails and %chunking in most any
cid thing. This Indifference to the
health Of patrons has caused The
Board Of Health to- make this new
order Public health is above every.

Department to require it to come III
to the right standard.

CONNICTS ON THE PUBLIC ROADS

No subject is of more Importance in
the year 1912 than the adoption Of a
wise and general system of working
the public roads, utilizing all the con-
Victs in county and state, except such
as are physically unable to do this
work or who must be kept in close
confinement. The more this ques-
ton is discussed, the more light is
thrown upon it the bette r will be the
measures that will be adopted and
the better roads We Will secure.
We published last week a wise and
sensible article from DR.. Charles OH.
Laughlnghousc, of Pitt county who
outlined, a plan that has been widely
commended. We are publishing to-
a an article from Mr.. John P.
Kerr. in which he quotes recommen-
oatlons made by Mr.. j. S. Mann, a
former superintendent of the State
PRISON and adopted by the board of
directors, January 1st, 1909. It is a
plties that the Legislature Of
1919 did not take up the recommen-
datlons Of Mr.. Mann and adonf tho
3 dLu create a nigh
way commission, but because we have
lost several years in this work. that
IS all the more reason why we should
eons1ner n recommendations of Mr..
Mann and the letters Of Mr.. Laugh
~ihsnouSe, n the views of others so
ina by the time the Legislature at
1913 ~convenes that body fresh from
.ne people, will be able to study al
the pla ans and adopt the best ones.
