ing a schedule for the militia and the
drill will not be so severe a test as he
Wonld prepare for them but it will give
the Sons an opportunity to show their
proficiency. There is only one condi-
tim attached to this contest and that
isthat at least three companies must
enter. Capt. Bean, Lieut.. Mccoy, U.

another regular army officer from Fort

Last Friday the schools Of Princeton
abandoned the routine work for. the
observance of Arbor Day. In the
morning the older pupils, accompanied
by their instructors, went on foot and
in conveyances to the woods where
trees suitable for transplanting were
selected and dug up. This occupied
nearly all the forenoon, the time re-
naming being improved by preparing
holes on the school grounds to receive
the trees.
| At the High school building there
was no afternoon session, the classes
gathering on the grounds at the APP
pointed time and the work of planting
was Immediately proceeded with. Most
OF the work was done, by the classes,
but. several individual trees were set
out by teachers and pupils. On these
grounds So trees we're added to those
already there.
The lower grades located at the old.
school house paid more attention TO.
/ literary exercises than to the work of
trans planting, although 10 trees were
set out out on those grounds by the lit
were very interesting and a large num-
Der of visitors were present to enjoy
them
While Arbor Day is not legal holt
day, it is one that should be generally
observed. Living as we do in a section
of the country where trees are plenty
and must be removed from land at a
great cost before it can be cultivated,
we do not realize the wealth there is
/ in wood. Statistics show that the
/ United States alone in one year has
used Sl00,000,OO0 worth of lumber in
|shipbuilding. Add to this the amount
used for buildings, cars, bridges, fuel,
ETC., and the aggregate runs to an
enormous sum. The destruction of
forests has become so general that al
most every State has established

Is
ers have entered tree culture just as
our western farmers grow wheat and
other crops. Strange as it may seem
to US, this crop has proved to be much
more profitable to them than cereals.
The observance of the day in Prince
ton was not so much to teach the
pupils the Importance of timber culture
as to interest them in the care Of trees
as ornaments and to arouse their pride
/ in the appearance OF public grounds.
| It was for this that Prof Themes and
his corps Of assistants worked and the
interest manifested by the pupils
showed that the seed of local pride and
patriotism had found fertile ground.

Memorial Day proclamation fixing
