Ancient tradition aayi that on February second, the - groundhog or woodchuck comes out of his hole, and decides whether or not to remain out by the weather conditions of that . day. The sophisticated American passes by auch a supersti tion with a smile. Perhaps there are some city bred folks who . never heard of it. Yet those of ua here in Roseburg who were " brought Up in country homes, find these ancient sayings very in teresting. In pioneer times people were close observers of ani ' mala and of the weather and changing seasons. They did not . have many books. Nature was their book. It gave them a cer tain serene contentment, and was i subject of perennial inter est Instead of chasing the latest fads, wearing themselves out in trying to keep up with their neighbors, they found entertain ment in the scenes about them. A herd of cattle in the barn yard would seem as interesting and dramatic and humorous to them, as any theater play would be to us. The instincts of ani mals must have interested them greatly. They observed that certain species have a power for foretelling weather conditions and discerning other matters hidden to humans. No doubt the groundhog tradition came into existence as a result of at tempts to interpret the perceptive powers possessed by animals. Those simple old habits of our ancestors would seem terribly dull to us now. But the men and women who watched the woodchucks and other dumb beasts, found infinite pleasure in observing their frolics and struggles and labors, and thereby became better able in many ways to use their eyes and wits than we are. Men should pay more attention to proprieties of footwear, according to representatives of the shoe retailers present at their organization' national convention, and not commit breaks like wearing awkward looking winter shoes in summer. But they might reflect how much more ungainly the men of a previous generation were, with long leg boots of heavy cowhide, some of which could be removed only with a bootjack, their wives often having to assist. While the men of today may never go in for the latest shoe styles as much as the designers might wish, it would promote self respect if they would shine up a little more frequently! 0 Changes In the president's cabinet are constantly occurring, which raises the question why the government can not keep its head officials year after year the way a business corporation would. One reason is that it is costly business holding these high posts. The salary of $12,000 must melt away fast with the entertaining an3 other expensive habits expected of these peo ple. The salary may make no difference to some of these big men. who are wealthy anyway. But as long as the government pays on a scale far below that of private business, it will have to change its public officials often, and frequently lose very good men, to the detriment of its service. The churches are urged to give up the spirit of denomina tional competition, in an address by Rev. Dr. Vermilyea, gen eral secretary of the Home Mission Council. He tells the de nominations they can not meet the staggering task before them unless they act unitedly. Competition is deeply rooted in hu man nature. It is hard to keep that spirit out of church rela tions. Sumetimes weak churches are incited by this partly un worthy motive to wake up and do something useful. Yet as a rule competition between churches wastes in futile rivalry, en ergy that should be given to the causes of human progress. 0 well, the school site committee has disposed of its labors and "passed the buck" to the school board to make selection of a suitable plot of ground for the proposed new school building. If the five members of the board have as much difficulty arriv ing at a conclusion as the general committee it may yet take a vote of the people of this school district to settle the matter. I t r. . nowever. live can get together on a concrete proposition quicker than forty-five persons. Here's hoping there will be no delay. 0 . Two weeks of the state legislature have passed into history without any serious damage. Look out for the grand finale, boys. Keep your eye on the fellow who has an eleventh hour bill to put over. rotts B Y BERT S BATES GOOD EVENING FOLKS The boys arc back From the battle front At the State House And We're r.opin' They get the Taxpayers Ouu the trenches By next Xmas. fill LITTLE DUMBELL DORA Is back with us this week-end from the leguslashuro and what she thinks of It all cannot be prlnt- vu in ima coiyum or moral uplift.
