URGES PLANTING OF TREES ON APRIL 18

Charles Warren Fairbanks Commends Action of Legislature. WAS HERE LAST YEAR Indiana Forestry Association Assisting in the Movement. The following article written by Charles Warren Fairbanks, former vice president of the United States, and president of the Indiana Forestry association is apropos to the coming celebration of Arbor Day in this city. Mr. Fairbanks, with Dr. Coulter, of Purdue University, was in Richmond on last Arbor Day and delivered talks at the various school buildings on the purpose and importance of the day, which this year will be observed on April 18. BY CHARLES W. FAIRBANKS. The last legislature enacted into law a bill prepared (with the exception of an amendment of a personal character which was added on the floor of the assembly) on behalf of The Indiana Forestry Association designating the third Friday of April In each year as a day for general observance and to be known as Arbor Day. It is the duty of the Governor to make proclamation of the day at least thirty days prior thereto, and the county and 'city superintendents are required to arrange a program of appropriate exercises in the schools under their respective jurisdictions. This advanced action upon the part of our legislature is a subject for general congratulation. It means a most decisive and intelligent step forward in forestry, and the effects thereof will be most apparent in the years to come. It is perfectly obvious that we must educate the young people and enlist their cooperation in forestry if the largest and most enduring success is to be attained. Arbor Day affords a splendid opportunity to emphasize the importance of forestry and give object lessons in planting and growing which will be of general and permanent value. Under the law, the day is a fixed and conspicuous fact and it will be celebrated in the future in a definite, widespread, systematic manner. We can impress upon our minds no more important lesson than that one which teaches the necessity of conserving our natural resources, and the necessity also of planning and planting for the future. Arbor Day will tend to emphasize the value of the intelligent husbandry of shade and forest trees, shrubs and vines. We will learn to plant them about our homes, around school-houses and churches, along streets and highways, in parks and the waste places. We will come to realize that our energies will be rewarded as what we plant grows into strength and beauty, enristiing the attractiveness of the community and adding to the wealth of the State. While the law requires specific recognition of Arbor Day by the schools, all public-spirited citizens in every community must feel an interest in the matter and share in making the day a success. They can contribute of their means and their .services to make the day of very large general good. It is desired by The Indiana Forestry Association that the members of the Association should take steps to observe Arbor Day in their respective communities, or co-operate : in some degree with the schools. The example of active co-operation upon the part of all who appreciate the importance of forestry will have a distinctly beneficial influence throughout the community. Those who annually plant trees, shrubs and vines will be repaid not only by the tangible contribution which they make to the beauty and pleasure of the community, but also by the satisfaction which they will derive from the consciousness of something well done for the benefit of their home and their neighborhood. If each member of the Association should do no more upon Arbor Day thiin plant one tree, it will amount to much in the aggregate, and be worth the slight effort required to do so. The Agsociatiion is firmly of the op

inion that the Arbor Day law will prove to be one of the best in its ultimate results of any measure enacted by the legislature. Its purpose is now generally recognized and if faithfully observed in the future, there can be no possible doubt as to the" far-reaching beneficial effects flowing from it. The Indiana Forestry Association takes this opportunity to call attention to another law drafted in its behalf and enacted by the legislature, which is also of very large future consequence. In brief, it authorizes not less than five persons in any locality to become incorporators, with power to hold property by purchase or gift for forestry purposes and for the public benefit. The presidents of such incorporations shall be ex-officio members of The Indiana Forestry Association. It is hoped that the local committees of the Forestry Association and others in many communities throughout the State may avail themselves of the provisions of this law and become Incorporated so as to acquire suitable tracts of land for municipal forests by purchase or by gift from publicspirited citizens in their midst. The law will afford means for making practical the effort of the friends of forestry to acquire at a very small cost as a beginning and this may be augmented as the importance of the matter is recognized and the liberality and public spirit of the people increases. Properly availed of it means the enrichment of many localities. No well-ordered community can afford to disregard laying early the foundations of its future. Nothing will do more to make for the comfort of home and residence than a reasonable area of land

devoted to a permanent forest. Such a forest will increase the physical, intellectual and moral welfare of the entire community wise enough and liberal enough to secure it. The appropriate observance of Arbor Day will increase our appreciation of the wisdom of providing municipal forests which are contemplated by the law mentioned. The quickening interest among good men and women in the forestry movement is a hopeful sign of the widespread and increasing recognition of our duty to the present and future of our respective communities and the entire State. The work is one which should not be left to the few, for it is in the best sense the concern of the many and we should all cordially and generously put our hands to the task. Arbor Day this year will not have the sanction of law, as the new act will not become operative until probably near the first of May; nevertheless it is to be hoped that the day fixed in the new law may be observed by the friends of the forestry movement, and that such celebration shall only be preliminary to a more general and systematic celebration of the day in the future when the law will be in operation.

MARTIN & GERSTNER. 8-6t MOTORCYCLE NOTES TO HAVE DIVISION. So many girl motorcyclists have planned to join the annual tour of the Kansas Short Grass Motorcycle Club this summer that it has been arranged for one division of the tourists to be made up of girl riders entirely. The idea of a girls' division was first conceived by Miss Inez Patterson, daughter of B. F. Patterson, president of the F. A. M., and she will be the captain of the division. Invitations have been sent out to the girl riders all over the country to join the tour. MOTORCYCLE ROSE FESTIVAL. This year the first days of the annual Rose Festival of Portland, Ore., will be set aside as motorcycle days. At that time the first convention of the newly organized Oregon State Federation of Motorcyclists will be held. There will also be a motorcycle parade in which it is expected that 1,000 riders will take part. Prizes will be given for the most attractively decorated outfits.

In Philadelphia, the Quakers were aroused to a state of great excitement by the sight of the Brooklyn-Philadelphia uniforms, and in Chicago the roars emitted by Johnny Evers of the Cubs and Huggins of the Cardinals stilled the rush of traffic and detonated several plate glass windows into the streets, thereby causing a rumor to prevail that the Cubs and the Cardinals had injected thirteen inch guns into the arena by way of settling old scores. In New York, the Boston Braves mingled with the Giants, indulging in such spectacular stunts during their practice that the entire citizen delegation from the town of dictionaries and doctrines was said to have missed its midday meal in its hurry to be present at the fray. In Cincinnati there was gloom for the contest between Fred Clarke's Pirates and Joe Tinker and his Reds was declared off on account of rain. In Brooklyn and Detroit, crepe was hung on the ball parks and the fans retired en masse to he scoreboards to watch the progress of games in other cities a wise management having seen fit to eliminate those cities from the opening games this year.

stand up, says Dr. Hoag. "nearly all the children arise. When I ask bow many have a toothbrush, nearly all say they have, but when I ask 'Did you use it this morning? there is little response." Many of the children assumed that headache, earache, and other ailments were perfecUy natural things, and seemed surprised that anybody should be curious about them. "Why, I always have headache," they would say. Dr. Hoag found that by simple questions about the children's eyesight, the teacher, without any optical tests at all. would discover thatt 20 per cent of her children sufTer from eye strain. From 12 to 14 per cent of the country school children suffer from earache, and 4 per cent have discharging ears. "Adenoids, earache, discharging ears, deafness; that's the order we find over and over again." says Dr. Hoag. "Four or five per cent of the children simply do not hear what is going on and are therefore put down as stupid when they are not." The commonest principles of hygiene are frequently neglected.

Save the Babies. INFANT MORTALITY is something frightful. We can hardly realize that of all the children born in civilized countries, twenty-two per cent., or nearly one-quarter, die before they reach one year ; thirty-seven per cent., or more than one-third, before they are five, and one-half before they are fifteen I . . , , We do not hesitate to say that a Uaielr use of Castorta would save majority of these precious lives. Neither do we hesitate to say that many of these infantile deaths are occasioned by the use of narcotic preparations. Drops, tinctures and soothing syrups sold for children's complaints contain more or less opium or morphine. They are, in considerable quantities, deadly poisons. In any quantity, they stupefy, retard circulation and lead to congestions, sickness, death. Castoria operate exactly the reverse, but you must see that it bears the signature of Chaa. IL iletcher.

are generally plentifully fed. Dr. Hoag finds, but thy do not eat the right kind of food. People In the country do not breathe pure air, because with abundance of it all about them, they carefully exclude it from their houses by keeping the windows tightly closed. These are some of the things that have caused the country to loe its reputation for good health as compared with the city. In order to remedy conditions, thorouugh medical inspection is desirable where it can be had, but much can be done by the teacher herself without any elaborate medical methods, according to Dr. Hoag. Teachers In the Minnesota schools are provided with a "health survey" containing simple but fundamental questions about health, by means of which they keep informed as to the condition of the children intrusted to their charge and are able to point the way to healthful living.
