GROUND HOG STUFF,
LOCAL AND OTHERS

We have been barking up the wrong
tree" in this ground hog shadow busi-
ness.
Pueblos ground hog camo out all
right yesterday and did see his shad-
ow, and this, according to tho way
the rule has heretofore been related.
means that we arc to havo six weeks
of bad weather yet.
But the ground hog was interviewed,
and he said we had his signs of the
times all balled up; like many good
animals with only two legs, he had
been misunderstood, and that this is
the way 1t Is:
If the ground hog sees his shadow
on the second day of February, we are
to have six weeks of the same sort
of weather We have been having for
the past six weeks. SO this means that
Pueblo and vicinity is to have a month
and n half moro of the semi-spring
weather. and then real spring.
Speaking of ground hogs and trees.
reminds one OF the fact that ground
hogs cannot climb trees. Will Caring
ton says thcro was mover but one that
could climb; he went UP tree like
n squirrel; he just had to climb. for
the dogs were right at his heels.

TO EXPLORE SOUTH POLAR RE
GIONS

A British expedition headed by j. L.
Cope, formerly one of Shackleton's lieu
tenants, started a few weeks ago for
the south polar region where the next
two years will be spent in exploring
lands now unknown. The expedition
is said to be the largest ever sent from
England. At Deception island, in the
Falkland group, the party plans to a.
bandon the steamer Thor, in which it
started, and embark in a smaller YES
sci capable of wrestling with the ice
foes. Graham Land, the southern
most land known. is the primary OBJ
%jective point of the expedition.
From the Graham Land base, ex-
pIoring parties will work their way
pole-ward by sledges and a~irpIanes.
The program calls for a 1,500 mile
round trip sledge journey, 1900 miles
of which will be over land altogether
unknown and unexplored. During the
two years, of their explorations the
members of the party will be practi-
cally cut off from all the outside world
and will probably. see no other hu mans.
