Thursday, April 15, 1920 Many years ago it was a custom whep a child | was born to commemorate the event by planting a tree. As a result of this beautiful and tender custom, today there are many trees sacredly guarded because they were planted by or for someone whose memory it was’ desired to perpetuate. | , Every reader of The Journal no doubt recalls one or more trees with Which are associated pleasant recollections. It may pe the one in the yard under which you played when a child. It may be the one that sheltei ed you from the storms that ouvertook you on your way to and from school. It may be the one on the river bank under which you sat with fishing pole in hand. t)r it may be the one under which your lover and you exchanged vows. , A law of the state requires the governor to proclaim each year an arbor day. Governor Goodrich has proclaimed tomor-

Or if at any time during the year you have lost loved one, better couldyou keep sacred his or her memory than by the planting of a tree? Even if you are not planting because of some sentiment, you may have some practical purpose in observing Arbor Day. Shrubs are not to be lost sight of . arid in mahy places *are more de-j siWble than trees. If a screen > is desired no better shrub is available than the lilac. . . ——-Ln-- ■—ci , • ji l I * 1 • We have .often remarked that happiness is primarily a state of mind, meaning that, each of us cf|n find happiness in whatever we are doing and in whatever our surroundings may be if we but so order our thoughts. Mr. Nielsen recently touched upon the same idea in an article he contributed to The Journal entitled, “Don’t Get Sour.” We would have carried the idea a bit further and advised shunning discontent. Syracuse is a gobd place to live. In fact, there 1 are many blessings here bestowed by nai ture that thousands of other so- ' called good towns can not enjoy. We do not need recite them again, as we have done before; but we advise every ohe to think of these things whefi he. feels discontented with living here. Syracuse is a happy place to live. In another column of this issue we publish portions of a letter recently received from a former ! Syracuse, and he speaks from experi ence when he tells us it is a happy place to live. W’e are i often receiving from the ■ p olks who have left the old home i town, and invariably they ask all I about this and that person living 1 I here, or ho wis such and such an

Cartoonist Briggs wpuld have us think that “the first hundred years are the hardest.” But Briggs is just kidding us, you know. Let Dr. William S.
