shadow SHADOW!
WHO SAW SHADOW?
If Br'er Ground Hog Did, the
Weather Bureau Doesn't
Know It Yet.

Did the ground hog see his shadow?
Opinions on this au-important subject
vary. One man who hasn't missed a
ground hog day event since '76 claims
that at 1880 o'clock a brilliant flash of
sunlight illuminated the entire city of
Washington, and another man who still
clingB to the goosebone as a better fore
caster than any one at the weather
bureau. and who carries a knitted silk
marketing bag with him wherever he
goes, claims that the ground hog saw
his shadow at 7:45 am.
At the weather bureau officials had
not come to a conclusion as to whether
or not G. Hog had seen his shadow at a
late hour this afternoon, but were
promising no general breakup in the
clouds which overcast the situation.
If spring is coming early, it will not
be present today, at least, for the tenn
perature is scheduled for a drop to %
degrees tonight.
Candlemas Day in England.
Ground hog day is merely the uncouth
name for fine old English custom called
Candlemas. and il any Anglomaniacs re-
side in this city this is the day on which
they are taking down their Christmas
green's. Rosemary, holly. mistletoe and
ivy are all coming down in England to-
day and English farmers are looking at
the skies, the same way that G. Hog is
looking for his shadow.
The English and Scotch farmers be-
lieve that II Candlemas day be dry and
fair ''the half Of winters to come and
MAR" But II the day be cloudy. winter
is all but gone.
Tho ground hog custom was made in
Germany. The German saying was THE
badger peeps out Of his hole on Candle
mas day. and when he finds snow walks
abroad, but II he sees the sun shining he
draws back into his hole"
The Germans brought this badger story
over to America, but the Yankees
changed the badger to woodchuck, or
ground hog.
