- THE INDEPENDENT Published every Thursday by THE INDEPENDENT NEWS CO. (incorporated) Entered at the postoilice at Walk<rtou as second class matter. April 15. 1020. PLANT A THEE. Many years ago it was a custom when a child was born to commetnorate the event by planting a tree. As a result of this beautiful and tender ।custom, today there are many trees jsacredly guarded because they were । planted by or for someone whose .memory it was desired to perpetuate. 'Every reader of this article no doubt j recalls one or more trees with which are associated pleasant recollections. [lt may be the one in the yard under which you were accustomed to play when a child, p may be the one ■ that sheltered you when overtake., by a storm on tour way to and from school. It)may be the one on the river bank funder which your lover and you Exchanged vows or made dear to you by any one of the many incidents fit life. Now that a of the state and proclamation ovZlovernor Goodrich have designated^ Friday, April 16, as Arbor Day in Imitana, why not by planting a tree< or a shrub on that date, give your* child when it passes , into maturity, an opportunity to pos > sess a living tree which it can call its own? Or if you have made a great sacrifice through a loved one offering his life in freedom's ca^tse. what can be more appropriate and lasting than a beautiful tree or shrub planted to I the memory of this world war hero, says Richard Lieber, Director of j Conservation of Indiana, who ap peals to citizens generally and school children in particular on this Arbor | Day, 1920. to contribute something to posterity. There are several species of trees and shrubs appropriate for \rbor Day planting, according tn Charles C Deam. State Forester Where spacwill permit the growth of a large tree, the sugar maple is best to use The elm which is one of our most beautiful trees. i« not recommend* <1 on account of the deadly insects it is rapidly becoming sub.uTt to In moist soil the pin oak would be one of the best trees to plant If a small iound-topped tree is desired, the Norway maple is the best. Do not plant under any circumstances soft maple, box alder or catalpa. is the advice of the Department of Conservation officials The charge made by the coal miners that the operators were profiteer i ing is sustained by government m । vestigation. The increased wages to the miners should not add to the price of coal more than from 50 to 75 cents per ton. while the operators, under the ulwt of increased wages to — the miners, have been camouflaging | the public by slapping several dollars
