The WentZ Case.

Bristol. Tenn, Nov. 6.-"No
new developments; deny emphat-
ically all rumors my son is yet
missing and there is no clue to
his whereabouts" vas what Dr..
j. S. Wentz, father of Edward l..
Wentz, who disappeared from the
mountains near Big Stone Gap
four weeks ago last Wednesday.
said when asked for a statement
tonight. DR.. and Mrs. Wentz
arrived in Bristol today over the
Virginia and Southwestern rail =
road fro n Big Store Gap, where
they have been since few days
after the mysterious disappear
ance Of their son. They were en-
route to their home in Phiiadel-
phia and left here tonight on the
vestibule train.
Reports that the family of the
missing man had received a post
al card from the alleged kidnap.
pers Of young Wentz were ex-
ploded by the fact that the father
and mother were leaving for
their homes. The rumors current
that the kidnappers were holding
the young man until a ransom of
500, 900 was paid them are most
emphatically denied, not only by
the father but by others closely
allied with the Virgins Goal and
Iron company with which the
missing man held q large interest.

ARBOR DAY.

lie JnlFu GludD VI Iillo lhOllVh
is Arbor Day. The day is to be
observed by the public schools
and the following programme
has been suggested by Hon. O.
B. Martin, state superintendent
of education
The programme which he
has suggested begins with re-
sponsive reading, the object of
which is to teach children the
value Of trees. Included in the
programme is a poem by Henry
Abbey, a very thoughtful bit Of
verse entitled "Plant Trees !"
Another\poem of interest is
"The Palmetto Tree,' written
for Arbor Day. celebration by
Miss Julia NJ Baker. ~,-.,
Among the suggestions in%he
responsive reading are the fol-
lowing questions and answers
Why should we observe Arbor
Day?
Because we should remember
that trees are public benefactors
and if we cut trees to use, we
should plant trees to take their
places.
What are some Of the ways in
which trees benefit us?
Trees give US lumber, fuel,
woodpulp for paper, cork, wild
fruit, nuts, resin, turpentine,
oils and material for medicine.
Can you think of any other
ways in which trees aid us?
Yes they shade us in sum
mer and cool the air by throw
ing out moisture in winter
they break the force of the
winds and the fallen leaves
make soft carpet in the woods
to prevent the ground from
freezing
Can you give some good rea-
sons for planting trees?
Yes to beautify our streets
and public places; to make
homes for our birds to preserve
our landscapes, and where they
are planted along the sides of
streams to prevent the earth
from slipping away. In the
west they are planted to break
the force of the wind
What happens when trees are
neglected, or destroyed for no
purpose?
There are few birds; the
rains come down the hillsides in
floods; the ground becomes
oarched in SUNNI er and frozen
IN winter.

There has been no evidence Of menin-

OF the case are very cautious In their
statements they believe the man will
become mentally and physically as
strong as ever. This was the belief
expressed by DR.. Raster two weeks
