Tree Holiday.

Eds INTELL1GENCER - Cannot there be
voluntary organization in this and in every vii
lage, the members of which will agree to de-
vote one day annually-the first or second
Monday in May-to the systematic planting of
trees and shrubs in the streets and public
grounds? Let there be such Tree Planting
Association permanently organized; let the
day be considered a holiday in future; close
the schools and suspend business as far as prac-

to be present and assist in tree hunting and
planting, and let the completion of the work
be followed by festive season, of refreshments,
of speech, of sentiment and song and in this
way will the young be led to appreciate the
beautiful more fully and to form still stronger
attachments to friends, home and the scenes
of early life.
