If Groundhog Wrong
If you are nob satisfied with
offering of the groundhog in re-
gard to the weather and do not
have faith in the signs offered in
last weeks paper, there are a
number of other ways that are
sure fire according to those who
swear by them. But don't forget
that the groundhog has had far
longer experience than the weath-
erman, and while his equipment
is less elaborate, many vouch for
his accuracy.
Groundhog Day originated with
the Germansand reached this
country by way of the settlers. In
Lancaster County, Pennsylvania,
even today, the descendants of
the Germans and reached this
organization called the Slumber-
ing Groundhog Lodge. Each year
they go through a ritual on Feb-
ruary 2 to discover the ground-
hog's weather prediction.

both, watch animals. Some
sources attribute their ability to

culiar sensibility to electrical or
other atmospheric influence.

i interested in venter weather
might investigate the oysters off
the New England coast. If they're
bedded deep, there's a long, hard
winter ahead.
Or, if you'd prefer a dryer
method, look under someone's
barn. If a family of skunks has
deserted the woods to make its
new home there, that's evidence
of a bad winter.
For those of you who now be-
lieve there are worse things than
getting wet, we have another al-
ternative. Foxes will grow heavy
coats and nuts will fall by the
bushel.
The forerunners of good weath-
er are butterflies, which put in an
early appearance, or bats and bee-
tles which flit about late in the
evening. A full blown dandelion
is regarded by some as sure-fire
evidence of nice weather.
Lastly, therp is the schoo'
thought which forecasts the
weather by the colors in the sky
and of the clouds. A great deal of
red forebodes wind or rain; but
if the morning is gray, a bit of
red might indicate a fine day. In
the autumn, a tinge of green
near the horizon betokens wet
weather, while a purple haze sug-
gests a continuation of fine weath-
er.
Writer To Speak
On Conservation
East Texas farmers, business
men and housewives will have a
chance to ask Louis Bromfield
questions about the conservation
program he has applied to his
famous Ohio farm when he speaks
in the Nacogdoches high school
auditorium at 7 -.30 p.m. Friday,
February 11.
The soil conservation commit-
tee of the Nacogdoches County
Chamber of Commerce, sponsor
of the event, has given Mr. Brom-
field a wide lattitude in his sub-
ject matter, asking him merely
to speak on some phase of the
conservation of soil and water
resources., Ordinarily, however
the noted novelist and conserva-
tionist invites questions from the
audience at the end of his talk
and invariably he is asked about
actual experiences with conserva-
tion on his Malabar farm. The
questioning can be counted upon
to bring out some unusually in-
teresting and helpful information
about his conservation farming.
Being a farmer who operates
count."
his farm as a business and not
a rich man's hobby, Mr. Brom-
field talks from a practical point
of view. His previous talks before
Texas audiences show that he is
interested not only in stopping
erosion but in making the soil
more productive, in making the
farm a paying proposition.
Mr. Bromffeld's talk will be
preceded by a soil conservation
forum at 2 p.m. in the same audi-
torium.
The public is invited to both
events. There will be no charge
for admission, the forum and talk
being a public service for the
people of East Texas.
WEST TEXAS TREASURE
A treasure in Spanish gold is
still buried somewhere in West
Texas, according to a legend re-
counted in the current issue of the
Junior Historian by Frieda Lucas
of Wichita Falls.
Writing for the magazine which
has publication headquarters in
the Texas Historical Association
offices at the University of Texas
Miss Lucas relates that many
fortunes have been poured into
a futile search for the $50,000,000
worth of gold and other treasure,}
reportedly buried by the Spani- j
ards between Clyde and Abilene, j
The original story, according to
Miss Lucas, states that leadeis of
a Spanish pack train transporting
the gold to the coast, heard
Indians were planning to attack
them and buried the treasure.
The map indicating the treas-
ure's location was sent to Spain
where it was found many years
later in a cathedral, and returned
to Texas. As late as 1937 men
were digging at the site where
the treasure is believed to 'be
buried, the young author writes.
Other contributors to the cur-
rent issue are from chapters in j
schools in Texas City, Fort Worth, i
San Marcos, Palestine, Baytown, ]
Huntsville, Wichita Falls, Cuero, I
Dallas, Henderson, San Antonio,
and Iraan.
"Bought and paid for but not
received." :
Those were the words used by
E. B. Freeman, manager of the
Tyler office of the Social Security
Administration, to describe what
happens when a worker fails to
show his social security card to
each new employer.
