The Springfield Republican notes the
curious fact that the Revolutio nary
war, the Mexican war and the Civil war
began in the month Of April, while the
same may be said of the W of. 1924,
il we may consider as the beginning of
hostilities the 9O-days' embargo placed,
April 4, 1912, upon all vessels in the ports
of the United States. Now that we seem
to be on the brink Of war with Spain,
we glance at the calender and find our
selves in IApril again, with two weeks
to spare before the month will be gone.
Gov Cooke has designated Friday, the
18th day Of April, as Arbor day to be
appropriately observed by the people,
and especially by the schools of the state
in planting fruit and ornamental trees.
and in exercises calculated to awaken an
interest in the object and purposes of the
day. This day might we'll be observed
by every school in town.
