SPRING BEGAN
THIS MORNING
If the Ground Hog Is Any Weather
Prophet Wintar's Cold Blasts
Ended Yesterday.

If the daring little Ground Hog
whose shadow has so much to do with
early spring weather spoke truthfully
when he scampered back into his hole
in the ground on the Second of Febru-
ary our spring should start today. The
proverb says that if he sees his shad-
ow on the Second Of February
he will go back into his hole and
stay there for six weeks, indicating
six weeks of continued winter.
Now some say he means forty days
and others think six weeks of addi-
tional winter sufficient. If the six
weeks version is correct spring begins
today, if the forty day way is right
winter won't end until next Wednes-
day.
Today is much. like spring and so
was yesterday though the tempera-
lures recorded last night do not in
dicate such. The highest for the
twenty four hours, ending at seven
o'clock this morning was CT degrees,
the lowest "a degrees and at seven
o'clock 35. The River rose two tenths
Of a foot during the twenty-four
hours, now standing at 25.9 feet.

Associated Press)-Prominent South
Americans who have been visiting

trade during the past few days. They
declare that a merchant marine would
cement trade relations between the
United States and South America AND
that this country would have the ma
jor part Of the commerce, If the bus

one CHANCE YET
FOR TIL THE LEAGUE. E.
Helena Arkansas May Take lndiano-
las Place-laekson Turned Deaf
-, Ear to Invitation.

The baseball situation, so far as the
Cotton States League is concerned,
is in quite muddle. When Indian
ola, for good and sufficient reasons,
saw fit to drop out Of the circuit the
entire proposition was thrown into
the lap of Fate and if that kind lady
don't give Helena, Ark, the necessary
encouragement to enter the league the
whole show will be ancient history be-
fore long and the Delta will have to
be content with semi-professional
baseball.
Jackson, erstwhile headquarters for
league baseball in the state, turned
the proposition and invitation to take
Indianola's place in the circuit down
without so much as an II regret to
do this" sort of an air on her face.
A committee of Clarkedale busi-
ness men and fans spent yesterday in
Helena working on the situation and
it is to be hoped that their efforts met
with success. It is understood that
one Of the three towns left in the
circuit objects to the entrance of Hell
ena into the league and threatens to
sever diplomatic relations with the
entire bunch should that team be Civ

other teams drop out Greenwood will
be the league and the league will be
Greenwood and of course Greenwood

It is to be regretted that the league

better that such an accident happen
now before the season opens than aft
srwards, If it is to happen at all.
