Ground Hog to
Take Look
Friday

The American marmot, Arctomys
monax, more commonly called wood
chuck, according to Webster, but
more commonly known as ground hog,
an animal that appears once a year
to thrill and shiver, as weather con-
dtions may be, is scheduled to show
himself tomorrow. Friday, this being
the End day of February.
So far as can be ascertained, the
hour of his appearance and the point
of arrival has been safely guarded,
but sufficient to say, he will appear
at some point, where tunnel is cas-
lily accessible, so if the sun be shin
ing he might beat it to darkness for
another six weeks stay
The weather man stated that it
was nothing but lot of humbug
that people loved to believe in--but
Uncle Zeke, who has lived for ten
score years. more or less, vehement
ly asserted that he had seen the hog
back in 49-but be that as it may,
the tradition which has been handed
from father to son, is prone to be
considered by most people as a SOW
ereign right of an American citizen.
If the clouds shield the sun from
view tomorrow the ground hog has ar
rived to stay, but if he scampers
back to his hole. mortgage your home
to buy another ton of coal, and be re-
signed to your fate of six more weeks

GERMAN BOAT IS
SCUT1LEO EARLY
At CHARLESTON

CHARLESTON, S. c., Feb. 1.-The
German freighter, Liebenfels, which
has been tied up in this port since the
beginning of the European war, began
sinking early this morning, and indi-
cations are that the vessel has been
scuttled. Marine experts who viewed
the vessel today expressed as their
opinion that the ships seacocks had
been opened.
The ship stopped sinking when it's
stern rails were close to the water and
the keel almost visible. but it is so
badly damaged that it will require con-
siderable time to make it again sea-
worthy. German officers on board the
ship, refused to aid tugs sent to assist
in salvaging the Liebenfels.
Late this afternoon it was found af-
ter an examination that the Lieben-
fels is resting on the bottom in forty
feet of water.

ATLANTA MOVIE FANS
PERTURBED ABOUT NUDE
FIGURES in MOVIES THERE

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. 1.-What would
become of painting and sculpture, If
painters and sclptors were prohibited
from showing the human form unspoil-
ed by drapery?
That's what Atlanta motion picture
would like to know, anent
the movement inaugurated by certain
large film producers of New York to
bar the nude from all screen produc-
tions henceforth.
Imagine Venus de Milo with clothes
on" explains one indignant exhibitor
who operates chain of theaters along
Atiantas s rialto.
They can see no more harm in the
proper and artistic display of the nude
figure in a classic motion picture than
in such display on the stage or in
painting and sculpture.
OF course there are numerous reas-
ons, aside from the purely aesthetic,
why exhibitors incline strongly to the
nude in motion picture art. Naked
women give the press agents some
thing racy to write about, for one
thing, and it has been observed that
the nude figure seems to possess re-
markable attraction for the public.

DIDN'T HAVE ANY FEET
BUT RAN TWO MILES

ATLANTA, Ca, Feb. If he had
two good feet, Solomon Hunter, negro
of this city, would probably be the
champion Marathon runner of the
world, but he hasn't any feet at all
and thereby hangs tale.
Surprised in the act of stealing cop
Ter wire from box car in a remote
railroad yard, Solomon was ordered
by two county policemen to halt and
throw up his hands. Solomon threw
them up alright-to get hold Of his hat.
Then he started.
For two miles the county policemen
chased him, through railroad yards,
ever embankment and cuts, across
trestle and into the backyard of
dwelling house, where. Solomon got
ore of his wooden legs hung in barb
ed wire fence and had to surrender.
The chagrin of the policemen can
well be imagined when they discovered
that solomon's right foot was gone at
the ankle and his left foot gone at the
knee.

CIGARS SMOKERS TO FACE

Cheese cloth, for instance, which IS
used to cover acres of ground where
shaded leaf is grown, has gone sky
high. Labor is scarce and growing
scarcer. Boxes, labels and numerous
other items in the cost of production
are out of sight
And so it has simply reached the
point where cigar manufacturers, as

advance the price or reduce the size of

SECRETARY LANSING SAYS The
AMERICAN GOVERNMENT BEGUN.
PLANS TO MEET A new ISSUE

the sending of the Sussex note threat
ening to break off diplomatic relations.
The president has the task of deciding
what shall be the course of the United
States.
Three immediate steps appear to be
among the possibilities. The United
States might solemnly warn Germany
against a violation of her pledges; It
might be decided that the German
warning is sufficient to warrant break
ing off diplomatic relations; it might
be decided to determine the course Of
the United States as the actual oper-
ations develop.
Germany has declared submarine
warfare. A starvation blockade of En-
gland, the like of which the world
never has seen, was announced in
notes delivered to American Ambassa-
dor Gerard in Berlin and the state de-
rartment at Washington late yesterday
by Count Won Bernstorff. Thus be-
gins the long feared campaign con-
Ceived by Won Hindenburg, it is said
here, on a magnitude never even con-
templated by Won Tirputz.

will place in the way of transportation
of the staple to European ports.
March contracts broke more THAI

Later cotton futures evidenced some
strength, and rallied to about IA cents

May cotton later rallied to II cents,
al finally on buying by trade inter-
