ARBOR DAY.
Not Given the Attention Due it in
Wisconsin.

The annual observance of ArDor
day occurred IN this state last week
Friday, and a few words of remind
er are therefore in order. A recent
writer deplored the fact that so
little attention is given to Arbor
day by others than the school chill
drenyft being left for the latter to
undertake about all the real cele-
bration and formal observance OF
the date. This in a way is doubt
less true, and the same thing holds
good in other states than Wiscon-
sin. In former years there was
more of a tendency toward a gener-
al celebration of the day and many
organizations and public bodies
often joined in the exercises.
At the same time it is also true
that a great many persons who
take no part in the formal exer-
cises of the day do observe it In a
quiet way, and in just the manneE
that was originally intended. That
is to say, while these individuals
may not attend or take part in any
public exercises, they perform their
share of the celebration of the day
by setting out trees and shrubbery.
thereby carrying out the spirit Of
the day. More or less of this would
of course be done anyhow, but the
very reminder furnished by the ex-
ercises of the school children and
the publicity in connection with
the event, serve to increase the In
terest in this work and to make it
more general than would otherwise
be the case.
AS a matter of fact ArbOr day
should have significance with
every adult person, no less than
with the children who attend the
public schools. Our American forests
are disappearing at an alarming
rate. Not only is timber being cut
faster than ever before, but there
is greater incidental waste and
destruction. In Europe this is one
of the things they do better because
there the lesson of forest valuation
has been learned through bitter ex-
perience. Forest protection in Eng
land and Germany is rigid and in
some places it is considered a minor
crime to cut down a tree. In this
country we hack, mutilate and burn
noble forests with ruthless hanu
and the day is not far in the future
when we, too, shall learn the les
son. But then it will be too late.
We must plant and replenlsh after
we have robbed ourselves of natures
most generous gift to man, and that
is a work of decades and ofcenturles.
Arbor day always brings a review
of these facts, and the people who
appreciate them will do their past
toward planning new trees to take
the place of those that are constant
ly being destroyed.

To Bother the Catalog Houses.

A rather curious plan has de-
velOped in Iowa, where the retail
merchants are preparing to wage
ar organized fight against The So
called catalOg houses. By this plan
it Is proposed to get large number
OF retail merchants to get in touch
with the big catalog firms that now
operate throughout the northwest,
first writing TO the latter for copies
of their catalogs and then address
ing at least two letters a week to
each firm making inquiries about
goods, prices and so forth. Estimat-
ing the actual cost of these catalogs
at approximately 81 each and the
cost of postage on the same, to-
gether with the postage on the
letters in reply to the letters of in
quiry received from Iowa CORES
pondents, it is figured than in the
long run it will cost the calalog
houses so much to carry on their
end of this campaign it will entire
ly rob them of their profits on
whatever business they may do
with actual customers in that state,
and thereby force them to change
their methods.
It is believed enough retail mer-
chants in Iowa can be interested in
this plan to furnish 10000 letters a
week addressed to the catalog
houses. OF course it will cost
these merchants something to carry
on this campaign of correspondence,
but divided among so many the
cost to each merchant will be i'm
material, and will be offset by the
advantage gained if the catalog
houses can be driven out of the
market. or their scheme of opera
tions even checked to any consider
able extent. OF course it is possible
the catalog houses may choose to
disregard the requests made in
many OF these letters, giving them
a place in the waste basket instead
of answering them. If they do
this, however, it is argued by the
promoters of the plan that many
regular requests and inquiries will
be treated IN the same manner, and
the people thus treated will be IN
clined to give up the plan of dealing
with catalOg houses. Moreover, 1t
is proposed to extend the same plan
of operations to others states, and
it is argued that the retail country
merchants can we'll afford to join in
the campaign which, if it is sue
cessfuI, will make it almost impos-
sible for the catalog houses to keep
up their competition for mail order
business.
The plan proposed is an ingenious
one, to say the least. OF course 1T
is true that the loss of trade to
country merchants is considerable
on account Of the competition Of
the big calalog houses. and any
plan that will promise TO get rid of
this cut rate competition is likely
to receive the support of many re-
tail merchants. The latter do not
consider the catalog house competi-
ton as quite fair and legitimate, and
they therefore will probably have
no scruples in playing a game Of
sharp practice on their own part to
undermine the trade of the catalOg
firms. If a general campaign is
opened along the lines suggested
it will be matter of interest to
watch it's outcome And one thing
is certain-the postal department
will benefit by a trial of the plan,
no matter whether it succeeds or
not.
