SHERIFF C. w. BRADY IS
COMMENDED IN WASHINGTON

Sheriff George w. Brady is in re-
ceipt of letter from F. P. Haynes,
national prohibition commissioner at
Washington, DC, who directs pro-
hibition law enforcement over the
entire nation from his offices in the
national capital. 1t is admittedly a
great honor for county officer to
have his work heralded to the point
where it receives the attention of
national officials, yet this is exactly
what has occurred in Mr.. Brady's
instance, as is proven by the letter
in question, which follows:
"Mr. George w. Brady, Sheriff of
Humboldt County, Winnemucca, Ne
vada. Ny Dear Mr.. Brady:
at has come to my attention
from reports sent to me by the Fed
eral Prohibition Directors office of
your state, from the Nevada press
and from various other sources, that
you have been rendering some very
valuable services in aiding the Fed
eral officers in the enforcement of
the prohibition law in Humboldt
County, Nevada.
81 have been informed that you
have not only been cooperating to
the fullest extent with the Federal
Prohibition Directors forces, but
have on several occasions, when it
was impracticable for the Director
to furnish you with assistance, cour-
ageously gone ahead practically sin
gle handed in your work and ac-
complished some remarkable results.
81 appreciate the splendid spirit
which you are manifesting and the
help you are giving this department,
and l cannot sufficiently thank you
for your valuable aid and assistance
in enforcing the prohibition law in
Nevada.
at is only by the mutual CO.
operation of all law enforcement
agencies, both Federal and State,
that we can hope to accomplish the
best results in our work. However,
with all law enforcement officers
tremendously cooperating and earn
estly striving to enforce the law, as
you are doing, the final results can
not be questioned.
"Again thanking you for your
valuable services and with cordial
regards and best wishes, am,
Every truly yours,
"P. w. HAYNES,
prohibition Commissioner"

TODAY is GROUNDING
OR CANDLEMAS DAY

Most everybody knows the old
saw about the grounding and his
shadow and what the shadow means,
and, worse luck, on this Candlemas
or Grounding Day the little animal
saw his own shadow as he emerged
from his winter habitat and timidly
returned to nestle in his bunk for
an indefinite stay, all because of
impending weather inclemency.
Weather folklore tells US that if
on Candlemas Day the weather be
brought and clear, the grounding
will stay in or return to his den,
thus indicating that more snow and
cold are to come. (And there he
stays for a period that varies in
length in the different sayings that
relate to this act, from two to six
weeks.) But if it SHOWS, or rains,
he will creep out, as the winter is
ended.
Another legend would have us
believe that the bear emerging on
Candlemas Day to see his own
shadow, retires for six additional
weeks of Information.
If these sayings possess any merit
it rests upon the fact hhat fine and
clear days at this time of the year
are usually cold days and that
cloudy weather is usually warm.
Therefore the woodchuck consults
his own comfort only. If it is cold
he returns to his winter quarters
if it is not cold he remains out un-
til the inevitable return of cold
weather, which at this season will
not be delayed many days.
