lnMemOriam.

In loving remembrance OF my sister
Mrs. Sarah E. Baker, who departed
this life, Feb. s, 1918.
Her beautiful soul like ray OF light,
Has gone to realms above,
W here never again comes sorrow or
pain,
In the sweet land OF love.
Alone my sister travelled far,
Through death and sickness to the
star,
That shines upon the golden stairs
Where everlasting life is there.
To meet her Savior on the strand,
Where angels took her by the hand,
Alone, Oh, no, she Is not alone,
For Jesus claims her as his own.
We often sit and think of you,
When we are all alone,
Far memory is the only friend tina
grief
Can call its own"
Her only sister,
MRS. FRANK TAMKIN.
There was an angel band III Heaven,
Which was not quite complete,
So Jesus took my dear old aunt.
To fill that vacant seat.
| We cannot tell who next may fall,
Beneath Thy christening rod.
One must be first,
But let us all prepare to meet oul
God.
Her neice,

The Ground Hoo.

The ground hog certainly had thu
opportunity Of seeing his shadow, no,
only on Sunday morning, bu1
throughout the entire day, a faci
which according to tradition indicates
six or seven weeks of severe winter
weather.
For several centuries this sign has
been observed, and the mild or severe
winter has been supposed to be indi-
Gated by Candlemas day, the End OF
February.
There has been tradition in most
parts OF Europe that a fine Candle
mas day portends severe winter.
In Scotland, the representation is
expressed in the following distich
III the Candlemas is fine and clear,
Ihere'll be two winters In the year."
In America, the representation is
attributed to the wisdom Of the ground
hog, whoris sure to come Out of his
den on the End of February, If it be
q fine day, as he does on many warm
days during the winter.

Livestock Meeting
At Woodstock.

Now that the influenza stu alton has
improved sufficiently for the Board O
Health to permit meetings once more
l am planning to hold big meeting
OF the livestock men Of the county al
Woodstock about the goth of Feb.
l can not state the exact date of this
meeting yet because final arrange
ments have not been completed with
the speakers for this occasion but il
you will watch the columns of your
local papers you will find out all
about it.
The purpose of this meeting will be
TO thoroughly discuss the advantages
OF community breeding of livestock
and to try to get our livestock men
to adopt one breed of beef cattle and
one breed of hogs and push these
breeds instead of working hal{ heart
eddy with half dozen breeds. At the
pre- sent time there is good strong
healthy demand for breeding stock
and the communities that get in on
the ground floor and breed the proper
kind of animals are the communities
that will be benefited most.
Mr.. Livestock Man, Do you realize
how much better price your pure bred
animals would bring if sou seventy
FIVE or hundred livestock men In
your community were all raising the
same breed and had them in sutficien
nun bers to induce buyers to come in
and buy them In Car lots Those who
have noted the big averages made
by some of the middle western stock
men have found the swer to tAis
question.
Think about the advantages Of COM
munity breeding, talk it over with
your neighbor, plan to attend this
meeting and come prepared to put
Shenandoah County on the map OF
the livestock work.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
give you herewith the final re-

to be called 'news", but you have
been known to publish "history",
and this is doubtless worthy OF rec
ord, as so many people in the county
are interested to know the facts.
The gathering OF these figures, with
the official enrolment. was very much
delayed by the sickness of the chair-
man and the prevalence of influenza
In various parts of the county.
Some additional enrollments have
come In, but too late to be included
In this total, which was our final re
port OF the Christmas Roll Call to
