The ground hog came from Isis un- derground abode in the early hours of Friday morning last, took a Look at the bright morning sun, sniffed the frosty air, looked again, saw his shadow, gave one grunt and hiked back to his place of • hibernation, there to spend another six weeks. According to those versed in ancient core, if this sagacious little animal, which is regarded by many es an in- fallible weather prophet, comes out and sees his shadow on February 2 it means six weeks more of cold, winter weather. When the groundhog stepped forth Friday morning from his hole in the ground, he came in contact with a zero temperature, accompanied with a biting wind, that, must have caused hien to shiver. if the groundhog theory is cor- rect, it means that Citizens Can calcul- ate on binning a few tons of coal yet before the sun shines on both sides of the fence and the balmy zephyr's of spring chase away Lite snow and frost of winter.

"THE BATTLE OF THE SOMME" Those wonderful pictures, "The Battle of the Sonne" put 00 in the Princess Theatre on Monday and 'rues - day, attracted a large number of people to the theatre at the various hours of admission. Some people were very pleased with the show and others were apparently disappointed. To us the great value of the pictures lies in their reality. They are the real thing. There is nothing stake -believe :bout them. Of course one sees no hand to hand fighting. if one did you would know immediately. that they were not real, as no photographer could be present to take such a picture. One must remem- ber that old pictures of battles are not real but just the artist's conception of what they :tight have been. GOES TO WASHINGTON.
