At the instance of several of you, some three months ago
I began negotiations with Dr. Robinson of Nebraska to
come to Center. He is now here to make Center his
home, and will be joined by his family soon.
Therefore, to those of you to whom it has been my pleas-
ure to minister, I commend Dr. Robinson most heartily.
He is a man of integrity and comes to you equipped with
the best training that modern chiropractic institu cions
have to offer.
Knowing his work and qualifications as I do, I commend
him as more than a fulfilment of my promise to secure for
you the best to be had or none
It is with regret, of course, that I lose your patronage, but
it is with no small degree of pride that I lose you to one so
capable of solving your health problems as I know Dr.
Robinson to be.

- Mr. and Mrs. A. L. Pinkston of
Tenaha attended the funeral of Mrs,.
T. C. Davis Saturday.
■JJ j According to ground hog forecast-
i ers, spring is just around the corner,
3! f clr Saturday when Mr. Ground Hog I
woke up and came out of his hole to
look about with half clcsed eyes he
was not frightened for there was no
sun and it is the sun that scares the j
ground hog. It is alleged that he has
a. pcjsitive phobia in that direction.
While Lawrence H. Daingerfield,
U. S. "Weather man, denies that the ;
ground hog legend has any weight ■
Ji v/ith him, there are many people who >
differ^ from his opinion, gnd j
j weight or nc!t, most everyone takes
I note that Februaiy 2 is “ground hog
■ day.”
! The origin of this ground hog le-
«£ i gend has been a matter c!f much con-
5s ■ troversy. Mr. Daingerfield believes
: that the story originated with the In-
| dians. The ground hog is a member
" ' of the marmoset family, which in-
cludes the badger and various varities
(|f the woodchuck. These little bur-
rowing animals hibernate about Oc-
tober.
During the winter months they
sleep securely under the ground,
maintaining life frcm the layers of
fat sorted on their bcldies during the
summer months. Then in February—
tradition says that it is exactly the
second day of the month—they rouse
from their sleep and peek drowsily
out
and being dumb animals, they become
afraid of their shadclw if the sun is
shining and scamper back for a six
weeks nap.
Otl*er explainers of the story say
the legend originated in Germany in
492 A. D. and that the original, gen-
uine, weather predicting, shadow
watching ground hcg was a badger.
German peasants believed, its said
and he made his weather predictions
forty days after Christmas. But Ger-
man immigrants found no badgers
east of the Mississippi and rather than
abando'n their belief in their prophet
by default, they named a vice pro'phet
the ground hog, a burrowing animal.
He since has assumed full dignity of
the office, but is really an imposter
of no real weather-predicting ability,
it’s said.
