It is eight days now since a number of people turned up their noses and said it didn’t make a tarnal bit of difference whether the groundhog saw his shadow or not But Mr. Groundhog has been living right up to the traditions that are associated with his claim to prognostication prominence and day after day the mercury bits the zero mark, sometimes so hard that it almost knocks the bottom out of the tbermometor. Last night, for instance, it sank to a point 17 below. Waterpipes froze up again and about half of the population ordered another ton of coal to tell us that the groundhog is not much of a forecaster at that and yet that he weatherman In Chicago rwbo pays that sundogs don’t forecast cold weather in winter time and storms in the Bummer. He has observed that •cold weather invariably follows sundogs and the brighter the “dogs” the •colder the weather that ensues. He thinks that the weatherman that advises the public contrarily ought to take some primary studies in weather observation. While he was telling us about this a young lady who bad called in to pay her father’s subscription expressed her scepticism about the groundhog, saying that it was cloudy in South Dakota on Feb. 2nd and the groundhog failed to see his shadow and that they had had cold weather there just the same. But it isn’t treating the groundhog fair to bring up these matters against him and it don’t do any particular good either, for the little rascal is this myiute sitting back in his subterranean home smiling in fiendish glee and the coal dealer -has a smile almost as broad. We don’t know much about the sundogs but we're strong for the groundhog, especially this year. “The Best Ever” home made bread, cinnamon loaves, cakes, doughnuts, tye mpd graham bread and Bopton baked beans at Mrs. Green's bakery, order the day before.
