WASHING MACHINE
FOUND POWER ENOUGH

Superintendent Frederick, Of the
Champion Lumber Company has
moved his family to Cresimon1. He
took with him washing machine and
he was wondering ii enough power
could be found at CIestmont to opel-
ate it successfully. On Thursday he
turned il over TO I'd Mason and told
him to- try it out. Mason took il 10
the mill and fastened ii onto one OF
the steam pipes and in an instant the
little machine was busy. There was
no question about there being steam
enough, for what was turned on took
the machine apart and il has not yet
been found. A piece of it took off
some hide from one of Mason's legs,
and a fellow workman, named Moore,
had bald spot on his head which
stopped another piece. Their irjnries
were slight, but the damage 10 the
washing machine was complete.

GROUNDING
saw SHADOW
Plenty of Sun Was In Evidence
at Noon Sum-
day.

Sunday was grounding day and ii
he failed TO see his shadow at noon, II
must have been because lie was blind.
According TO tradition Mr.. Ground
Hog, ii he saw his shadow Sunday,
crawled back into his hole, no longer
to roam, until 40 days have passed and
when these forty have fitted by, then
we will have Spring. sunday was cold
and dark at times, but there was a
bright sun at mid day, although no
sun was visible i'm the afternoon.
The theory that the grounding Is
the original and immutable weather
prophet, forerunner of the United
States weather bureau, is all ancient
and honorable German supers,ilition.
Long before Caesar divided Gaul into
three parts, Even before the Phoenoe-
clans mOOred around ,he Mediterra-
mean and tackled the tin mines oil
Angieland, Germania was populated
BY blond giants with deeply religious
nature. They saw the hand Of Cod
and sometimes of thousand gods
in everything. Every time the moon
changed they had a religious feast. II
1 thunder game, Thor was angry; If it
rained, snowed or hailed, some other
i diety was offended, and the pious Ger
man proceeded to offer up his nearest
neighbor or his mother-in-law as a
| sacrifice. If The intermingled odor of
| savage incense and semiciviliZed gore
! was pleasing to the nostrils of the par
lticular deity whose wrath was raised !,
then his anger was subsidized. The
German was forgiven and permitted
TO raise other mothers-in-law for the
future.
One by one the days of human sac
rifice dropped out, but the religious
! side of all movable feasts remained.
| Every astronomical change, every diff
ferent phase of the moon, was convert
cd into an annual religious feast or
holy day .sOne of these old German
superstitions, THAT relating to the
woodchuck or grounding, could not
possibly be allied with religion. II is
the only old superstition that hasn't
been canonized. 1t has simply remain
ed as a superstition, and the supersli-
ton is the same today that il always
was. q
The superstition of the woodchuck
or grounding is this: lie hibernates,
or spends -ahe winter in hole. On
the second day Of February he wakes
lup and stirs about, and takes look at
the weather. IT the day Is dark and
cloudy and he sees nc shadows, lie de-
cides that the backbone Of winter has
been broken, and he then decides to
stay out of bed and plant his crops.
But If the sun shines at high noon and
he sees his own shadow. he crawls
back into his hole, showing that for
