Annual Meeting
Good Samaritans
The Annual Meeting of the Clinton
Caravan of Good Samaritans will be
held next Sunday, February 10th, at
3 p. m. in the Ladies’ Club room at
the Masonic Temple. It is hoped
' and urged that all members will be
>thcre to hear reports of the year’s
work, elect officers for the coming
year and transact any other business
that may be required.
It is also desired that all others
come who are interested in helping
doors for about two weeks; not a
cook stove or other article of fur
niture except a very few dishes and
two or three pans and skillets. Dur
ing one of. the coldest, bleakest
nights of this winter they slept hud
dled together, sick father and the
rest, on the floor rolled up in three
or four old quilts. When first seen
in this shape on a very cold, raw
day, the children were very sparely
clothed, a little
with nothing on except a very foul
little slip. Our funds were scarce
but arrangements were made by
which they could be made fairly com
fortable. The man is making good

the indigent in and around Clinton.
This organization is too small and its wages now, has
income consequently too meager to; and is aspiring to sometnmg better,

may be shown again by a brief reci

Ground Hog Comes Out
But Goes Back in Hole
The opportunity presented to the
ground hog Saturday to test his abil
ity to forecast the weather for the
next six weeks is without a parallel
of atmosphere conditions within a
number of years on February 2. The
weather map showed that fair weath-
18-montha old girt ex. prevailed over almost the entire
country with only a cloudy area pro
ceeding across the extreme region of
the Eastern states. So when the
ground hog came from his lair Satur
day morning at sunrise his shadow
was cast on the ground with such a
convincing representation of his ema
ciated and lean frame that he quick
ly scurried to his burrow, there to
await the more favorable conditions
which spring would usher to his
greater comfort.. If the weather had
been cloudy he would havj cast no
shadow and regaining away from his
lair would have, been an indication of
the end of winter—a condition more
acceptable to human kind after its
experiences of the past month in win
ter weather.

with February 2 as the pivital date
which decides the trend of the season
,at this time of the year also applies
to the day as celebrate^ in the church
as Candlemas day. February 2 was
thus set apart in 492 to commemorate
the purification of the Virgin Mary
and the presentation of the infant
Jesus in the temple. Thus in observ
ance of the feast it received the name
of Candlemas because lighted candles
were borne in the church procession
als on that day, being suggested by
the declaration of the priesta in
temple at Jerusalem that the infant
JesuS would become the light of the
world. ' ■ -

In England the future of the weath
er from February and on toward the
coming of spring was connected en
tirely with the condition of weather
on Candlemas day—the idea being the
same as to fair or cloudy conditions
affecting the same in America.
The habits of the ground hog are
such that even in the spring and sum
mer when he seeks his food—entirely
vegetable in character—he comes out
of his lafr early in the morning, and
late in the afternoon. His lair is
from ten to 15 feet in the earth and
is usually found on a hillside. When
he retires in the early fall to spend
the winter he is fat like all animals
which hibernate in the cold season
of the year. After his long winter
sleep his flesh becomes thin and his
appearance emaciated, so emerging
from his lair February 2, if the day
be fair he becomes frightened at his
weary and wan looking form and
thinks his shadow is that of some
ether animal and thus frightened re
turns to his den for more favorable
