MADDEN NEWS Wadden, March 2.-,Don't any one think that because the sun in shining brightly today that the bad weather Is over, according to the "ground hog" there is yet two more weeks of bad weather, so if you haven't up a sup ply of wood, sharpen up your axes and proceed to "get busy". "Aunt Kate" has had it on her mind here lately to go for the editors with gloves off because they have been so derelict in their duty to the pdople, not to have warned us of all this sleet and snow!
