GROUND HOG LOSING PEP
 AS WEATHER FORECASTER
Growing Old And With Failing Eye- sight. He Guessed Wrong And
 Has No More official Standing

i With his reputation gone, lost through a terrible mistake he made this morning, old Mir, Groundhog peepcd out of his home in the ground bright and early this morning, saw q shadow which he thought was that ot the Fuzzy Wolf. or Reddy tho Fox, or Bowsrr the Hound and beat it" back into his hole. Today being Candle mas or Grounding day, this stunt is supposed to mean that for the next SIX weeks New Brtainitcs will spend their leisure hours shoveling coal into the furnace and shlveTing from the icy blasts of old Man Winter while the ice man giggles with glee.
 Bui, lis not SO As n prognosti- cator Of atmospheric and climatic possibilities and probabilities said Mir Groundhog has lost his reputa- ton.
 Year after year he has been proph. usying 42 more days of cold wintry weather following the second day of February. but he is reaching an ad- vanccd old age. His eyesight is fail- ing, His faculties of testing weather indications six weeks in advance have weakened with age. He is getting nervous and his shadow frightens him more easily than it did years ago when the oldest residents were young and other oldest residents were here He does not know that we have had little or no winter weather, and he has made the mistake of going back To sleep away six more weeks of beau tiful spring-like weather. when he might be having a good time romp- ing about the forests and fields.
 So. according to Sir Grounding, we should look for q cold spell, but since he has grown so old that he has lost his faculty Of guessing correctly. if is safe to predict that the weather will finish as it began and that we will have something closely resembling summer all winter"

FELTON,

Heavy rainfall has been general
for the past two weeks, and the re-
suit has been that fodder saving has
been delayed; but, those who have
tomatoes ripening in the fields have
not permitted the rain to stop them
from gathering and delivering the
latter crop-the prices are too high
for growers to permit the tomatoes
to waste in the fields.
An accident happened TO a man at
the FELTON, station on Sunday, when
a man, unknown here, fell under the
wheels of the milk train as it start
ed to leave FELTON,. He was-attempt-
ing to board the train while 1t was
in motion and in falling an arm was

lance from the Emergency Hospltal
at Milford, was summoned and the
victim sent to that hospital.

So MILES OF CARPET
Wool From 10000 Sheep Used Daily
By One Carpet Mill

The wool used daily in the weav.
ing of carpets and rugs by a New
York manufacturer is equal to the
shearing from thirty thousand sheep
The soft, rich coats of these animals
are turned into the looms at the rate
of 100000 pounds every day.
These and many other interesting
facts were revealed recently through
the publication of statistics concern
ing their mammoth mills at Yonkers,
N. Y, by Alexander Smith G Sons
Carpet Company, said to be the larg-
est manufacturers of carpets and
rugs in the world.
If all the wool used in these mills
were reckOned according to the num-
Der of animals from which it is
sheared, years output at the mills
would represent the clip from 9,000,-
900 sheep-a number which would
constitute herds beyond the imagi-
nation.
For the manufacturing of all this
wool into American-made carpets
and rugs, the energy and industry of
1900 employees is devoted with a
ship resembling the loyalty given to
his individual loom by the smaller
weaver of bygone days.
This army of workers operates l.
500 looms, with a total daily pro-
duction of 10000 yards of. carpets
and rugs. Place one day tremendous
output in a continuous line and it
would make a strip of carpet SO
miles long. In one year Of eight-hour
working days, the 1,5OO looms turn
out % millions. of yards, making an
annual production of almost 10000
miles, enough to reach more than
half way around the world.
Every hour this mill produces H.
250 yards, or 1874 yards per min
ute! The amount of mechanical en-
ergy entering the work may be pic
tured from the fact that the company
uses 225 tons of coal every day. And
all this activity takes place in mills
which occupy 521s acres of floor
space, ample area to accommodate |
the parking of about 100000 motor
cars!
1t is interesting to note that the !
founder of these giant mills was also |
the inventor Of the famous Axmins-
ter loom. The institution which has
carried on since 1860 has specialized,
it is said, in the making of four bas-
ic weaves, known as Administers,
Tapestry, Brussels and Will
ton Velvets.
