II Vj 'pv'v, lf By ELMO SCOTT WATSON sTLTIIOUGH the dute for the observance of Arbor day jf varies In different states of V I the Union, most of the celebrations are held dur-ing the months of April yand May. It Is therefore appropriate to recall at this time the man to whom we are Indebted for this holi-day and his service to the nation In taking this step to conserve one of the great natural resources of this country. The "Father of Arbor Diiy" was J. Sterling Morton who at a meeting of I the state bonrd of agriculture In Ne- - $ brnska on January 4, 1872, Introduced I a resolution setting aside April 10 for Nebraska had always been known as "a treeless state" but 5 In that year, as a result of Morton's I suggestion, more than a million trees f were planted. The custom was con- - tlnued during the following years and ) In 1S75 Kansas and Tennessee fol-- f lowed the example of Nebraska by setting aside one day in the year as Arbor or Tree-Plantin- g day. In 1870 Minnesota, alarmed by the destruc- - tlon of her white pine forests, began to observe Arbor day, North Dakota I began In 1882 and In Missouri the I Idea was taken up In 1886. Ohio first celebrated Arbor day on ' April 27, 1882, at Cincinnati, as a re sult of a visit to that city of Baron I Iticlinrtl Von Steuben, the royal chief I forester of the then German empire. Of that occasion an Ohio historian j writes : I Von Steuben, s descendant of the famou Gencrnl Von Steuben who had j aided General Washington o conspic-uously in the Revolutionary war, had come to America In 1881 with other Von Steubens to unite in the centen-nial celebration of the surrender at . . t v memorial groves ever planted In America; the first publio planting- - of trees in honor of the memory of authors, statesmen, soldiers, pioneers and other distinguished cltiiens." lie might also have added that this was the beginning of the part played by school children In tlte Arbor day celebration which has become such a marked feuture of the celebrations since that time. Another result of this Cincinnati celebration was that It led directly to the formation of the American Forestry association of which George K. Lorlng of Sulem, Mass., was first president and with which, Incidental-ly, Morton was closely associated for many years. In 1883 the American Forestry congress (as the American Forestry association was then known) met In St Taul, Minn. B. O. North-rop of Connecticut Introduced a res-olution recommending the observance of Arbor day In all the schools of the country. A committee was ap-pointed to press the matter with Mr. Northrop as chairman. In 1884 he secured the adoption of the follow-ing resolution at the annual meeting of the National Education associa-tion. Resolved, That In view of the valu-able results of Arbor day In the six states where such a day has been ob-served, alike upon the school and the home, this association recommends the general observance of Arbor day for schools In all our states. Siuce then the observance of Arbor day has spread beyond the United States. In 1887 the first Friday In May was Bet aside in the province of Ontario for tree planting. Spain adopted the plan ofllcially in 1896. Iluwuil took it up In 11)0.-- 1, and it Is now observed in all the dependencies of the United States and in Great Britain, Canada, Australia, the Eng-lish West Indies, South Africa, --New 7enhinil. Norwav. HukhIji. Jnrmn nnrl sister states that henceforth she was to be known as the "Tree-Plant- State" because this commonwealth, which had once been so markedly destitute of this form of verdure, now had more than 700,000 acres plunted In trees. The celebration of Arbor day In 1922 had special significance since it was the fiftieth anniversary of the founding of Arbor day and at that time Charles Lathrop Pack, president f the American Tree association, an-nounced his g plan for cole-- , brating the centennial of Arbor day in 1972. His Idea is summed up in these words. "Plant a centennial tree and register it with the Ameri-can Tree association so that your name will be on the honor roll of and good citizens fifty years from now." Since then the as-sociation has urged this Idea upon Americans so that thousands of trees will be planted and marked by 1972 and the centennial celebration of that year may be made the greatest ever held in this country. The dates on which Arbor day is observed in the various states and In the possessions are: Alabama February it. Arizona In five northern counties, Friday following the first day of April. Elsewhere, Friday following the first day of February. Arkansas First Saturday In March. California March 7. Colorado Third FrlCy In April. The governor Issues a voclamatlon each year. - Connecticut In early May, by proc-lamation of the governor. Delaware In April by proclamation of the governor. Florida First Friday lnFebruary. Georgia First Friday in December. Hawaii First Friday In November. Idaho Various dates In April by county superintendents. Illinois Proclamation of the gov-ernor. Ind.'ana Third Friday In April each year. i Baron Von Steuben's work In for estry In Germany had grained him a Worldwide reputation, and when he visited Cincinnati it was but natural ? that advocates of foreat conservation In the Middle Weat should seek bin) - out for advice. t "'Plant trees," he told them. "For every tree you cut down, plant an- - I other, or two, if potsible." ' ? A committee was appointed to cre ate public Interest In the subject of tree planting, and Its work culminated in a three-day- s' meeting In Muslo hall, beginning April 25, 1888. The spools were dismissed on the last two days to enable the pupils and teach-ers to take part In a celebration of tree planting In the public parks. The governor of Ohio had designated April S7 as Arbor day. Extensive prepara-tions had been made for its observance in Eden ' park. Cincinnati was In holiday attire. The soldiery and organized companies of citisen formed an Immense pro-cession and marched to the park. Thousands of school children were al-ready massed there when the march-ers arrived. "At the flrlnK of a signal gun," Writes Henry Howe, the historian, "'Presidents' Grove," 'Pioneers' Grove,' "Battle Grove," "Cltiiens" Memorial Grove," and 'Authors' Grove' were planted and dedicated with loving hands and appropriate ceremonies. "Addresses were made by ernor Noyes, Doctor Lorlng, Casslus M. Clay of Kentucky, Durbin Ward and others. No sight more beautiful, ,-- , no ceremonies more touching, had ever U" been witnessed In Cincinnati. An Im-portant lesson In forestry had Indeed been brought home to the hearts of the people." In 1883 the Ohio State Forestry as-sociation was organised. The game year the Ohio legislature, by Joint resolution, flxd the fourth Friday In April as Arbor day. Howe declares that the groves planted In Cincinnati were "the first China. In 18S5 the Nebraska legislature, wishing to further honor the man who had originated the Idea of Arbor day, passed an act changing the date of its observance to April 22, Mor-ton's birthday, and making it a legal holiday In that state. Morton was born at Adams, Jeffersop county, N. Y., In 1832. He received his early education at the Methodist. Episcopal academy at Albion, Mich., to which state his parents hud moved. In 1800 he was a student at the University of Michigan. He graduated from Union college In 1854, and the fol-- " lowing year settled In treeless Ne-braska, first at Bellevue, and luter at Nebraska City, where he founded and edited the Nebraska City News, the first newspaper to be established in that state. In 1850 and 1857 he was elected to the territorial legislature, and In 1858 was appointed secretary of the terri-tory by President James Buchanan. Upon the resignation of Gov. W. A. KIchardson, a few months later, he became acting governor and local representative of - the administration In the bitter struggle in the territory. In 18(i0 he was the Democratic candi-date for governor, but was defeated. From that time until 1881, when he was ugain. a candidate for governor, he took no active part In politics. In 1803 he entered the cabinet of President Grover Cleveland as secre-tary of agriculture, remaining in of-fice until 1S07. By 1S!I5 the Nebraska legislature I was able to proclaim to Nebraska's Iowa Proclamation of the governor. Kansas Option of the governor. Kentucky In the fall by proclama-tion of the governor.

CALDWELL LEARNED ' IN 47 j YEARS PRACTICE A physician watched the results of constipation for 47 years, and believed that no matter how careful people are of their health, diet and exercise, constipa-tion will occur from time to time. Of next importance, then, is how to treat it when it comes. Dr. Caldwell always was in favor of getting an close to nature as possible, hence his remedy for const!- - ?ition, known as Dr. Caldwell's Syrup is a mild vegetable compound. It can not harm the system and is not habit forming. Syrup Pepsin i pleasant-tastin-and youngsters love it-- Dr. Caldwell did not approve of drnitio physios and purges. He did not believe they were good for anybody's system. In a practice of 47 years he never saw any reason for their use when Syrup Pepsin ill empty the bowels just as promptly. Do not let a day go by without a bowel movement.' Do not sit and hope, but go to the nearest druggist and get one of the generous bottles of Dr. Cald-well's Syrup Pepsin, or write "Syrup Pepsin," Dent BB, Moaticello. Illinois, for free trial bottle.

"Seems to me there's more revenge In that" Exiles to Siberia Not of the Criminal Type In a village near Omsk, Siberia, we met a train of exiles surrounded by soldiers with naked sabers. For the most part says Mme. Claude Eylan in Itevue Universelle, Paris, these unfor-tunates had faces that were honest, Intelligent even refined; they must have belonged to an intellectual or bourgeois elite, to judge by their ex-pressions, which were quite different from the stupid, sneering look of the ordinary criminal. Their miserable garments were cov-ered witb a thick coating of mud. Both men and women carried on their shoulders or in their hands a bundle of rags and a bowl. It was the pitiful procession described so many times by Dostoievsky. Among them were young, beardless boys; a little bluck-eye- d girl, as pink as a wild rose, who was leading by the hand a wrinkled old woman who looked like one of the Fates and whose package of clothes the little girl car-ried. These poor wretches were bundled Into a car equipped with bars. They went In quietly, without a look at the handful of foreigners as free as they were captive who were so moved by their fate.
