BASE BALL TOMORROW
Luther College Athletic Association
Opens Base Ball Season.
LUTHER VS.. IOWA COLLEGE
Fast Team From GrinneIl, One of
the Best Colleges in Iowa Athle-
tics, to Contest With Luther
For First HOnOrs of
the Year.

The base pail season at Luther
College will open tomorrow after
noon, when the team from Iowa Col
lege, Grinnell will be here. Iowa
College has always had one of the
strongest teams in the state, and it
is expected that the season will open
tomorrow with close and exciting
game. Luther is in splendid condi-
tion and the fans ought to see
fast game. Come out and root. Ad-
mission % cents. Game called at
three o'clock.
Grinnell is noted for base ball,
and this is the first time for num-
ber of years that Luther and Grim
nell have contested for base ball
honors. Therefore everyone inter-
ested in base ball will certainly take
notice. Some anxiety was expressed
last fall lest this years team would
not be able to uphold Luthers base
ball prestige. But Luther never
stoops tc play schools below her
rank, and has developed team now
that will make everybody sit up, all
along the line Those who enjoy
base ball should not let this oppor-
tunity pass by.

ARBOR DAY FRIDAY.
Governor Carroll Urges People of
Iowa to Plant Trees, Shrubs and
Vines on April 20.
His proclamation is as follows:

His proclamation is as follows:
1t is fitting ard proper at the
time of year when Iowa is enjoying
one of the most remarkable spring
seasons in her history, and when
the state is taking a leading part in
the nationwide movement for the
conservation and development of
the diver sitied resources of our
country, to call the attention of our
people to Arbor day, day set aside
by custom and annual observance
for the planting of trees.
Dating back to the early settle
ment of Iowa, when the hardy pio-
neer drove his team of oxen into
our state and established his home
upon the wide-sweeping and fertile
prairies, the planting of trees has
been a most commendable custom.
Bare plains have been made beauti-
full; handsome groves dot the land
scape where dwell happy and pros
porous people. Many of our vener-
able pioneers can look upon the
spreading branches and handsome
symmetry of large and noble trees
of their own planting with justifi-
able pride and without regret for
the labor and pains necessary to
grow them.
In conformity not only with the
custom grown old by observance
but with the principles of conser-
vation in which tree culture is an
important and necessary factor, and
to encourage the growing of trees
and the reforestation of our state, I
B. F. Carroll, governor of Iowa, dc
hereby proclaim April 20, 1910 as
Arbor day. and respectfully urge lis
observance in fitting and con-
sistent manner by the planting OF
trees, shrubbery and climbing vines
to make the environment of home,
church, school and city more beau
tiful. / especially request that the
public schools stimulate the senti-
ment of the day by appropriate ex-
ercises, instilling into the minds of
our youth the benefit derived from
the cultivation of our natural flora
and retention of our forest groves.
and l further recommend that the
farmers and land owners of our
state take advantage of this day for
the planting of orchards, forests
and groves, and the added interest
be taken in the matter of tree
planting and tree culture.

THE ROAD DRAG LAW.
Iowa Statute Covering Dragging of
Roads Under Supervision of
Township Trustees.

So many complaints have been
made to us because of roads which
have not been properly dragged this
spring, and so many requests for
information as to the requirements
of law, that we publish again the
section of the law which governs
this matter:
Sec. 1. The township trustees
shall have all the main travelled
roads, including mail routes, in their
townships dragged at such time
as in their Judgment is most bene-
cial, and they shall contract at their
April meeting to have a given piece
of road dragged at rate not to
exceed fifty cents per mile for each
mile travelled in dragging. In choice
of persons to do the work or in maxi
ing contracts to do such work, pre-
ference shall be given, other things
being equal, to the occupants of the
land abutting the road or adjacent
thereto at the point where the work
is to be done, but if more than one
occupant. the trustees may decide
to which preference shall be given.
So far as possible such dragging
shall be done following transforms
when the earth on road surface is
in the consistency of mortar or in
condition to accomplish the best re-
suits. Nothing herein contained
shall prohibit township trustees
from causing other than main trav-
eled roads in their townships to be
dragged. No compensation shall be
paid to any person for dragging
roads unless the same be authorized
by the township trustees and in the
manner directed by them and other
work than dragging may be done
when it can accomplish better re-
suits; not less than forty per cent
of the road tax collected under the
road levy made by the township
trustees, on land abutting the road
or adjacent thereto shall be worked
on said road if needed on the same.

THE FARMS GOLDEN OPPOR.
TUNITY.

High prices affect food products
more than anything else. Never has
there been such a chance for the
farmer. Will he see it?
The hustling West sees it, and is
planting grain heavily. But will
the farmers around the cities have
the enterprise to raise the meat and
vegetable supplies demanded by
population?
Life on the farm, often solitary,
has too much tendency to dull ambi-
tion, to promote routine ways of do
ing business. Too many farmers
raise about the same crops year af-
ter year without much study of mar
ket needs. And there comes to be
a great fear of taking risks and
chances.
A live stock dealer tells us that
some farmers who ordinarily bought
two or three pigs to fatten on
household garbage, were so fright
ened by the panic of 1907-0S. that
they would not spend the few dol
lars needful for this little enter
prise, and let the garbage go to
waste in their fear that people would
stop eating pork. If there are such
faint hearts on any of our farms,
let us all reassure them that every
thing eatable that they can raise in
1910 will find a market at high
prices.

GAME WARDEN TELLS PLANS.
Will Spend 100000 Present Year
i'm Work of Propagation.

State Game Warden Lincoln has
reorganized the state fish and game
department for the propagation of
fish and game in this state. This
fund was created by the hunters
license law passed by the last gen
cal assembly.
Warden Lincoln has appointed
DR.. Nj. w. Wilson of Des Moines as
assistant warden with headquarters
in Des Moines and there are now
two men devoting all their time to
the work. The restocking of the
rivers and lakes and the propagation
of game birds will begin at once.
There has been an erroneous
report circulated to the effect that
the ninety odd thousand dollars
which the hunters license produced
will revert back to the state treas
urye. sis coming July" said Game
Wa, ~<e incoln. "The only funds
which Hx ert back to the state
treasury are va, that are provided
for by appropr~ and which are
unexpended. The RS license
fund is not an approl ion and
my attorneys have declared that it
is a perpetual fund.
Il am now making arrangements
for the introduction of Hungarian
partridges and ring-tail pheasants
in the state. I am negotiating for
lot of eggs of these birds which
will be distributed among the game
lovers of the entire state. Certain
conditions will be exacted of those
to whom they are sent and as they
can be Matched by the ordinary do
mestic fowl, there Will be a lot of
this game for the hunter, within a
few years.
"By distributing these in every
locality every hunter will have an
opportunity of hunting these game
birds. which are considered the best
which can be raised under the ar
tificial conditions.
1.-THE increase in the money which
can be used to the support of our
department makes possible the
stocking of not only the lakes but
the rivers and smaller streams with
game fish. The game and fish laws
will be rigidly enforced and within
few years, with the additional re-
stocking which viii be done each
year, our streams win be filled with
game fish. 1t is my intention to
expend every cent of the money re-
ceived through the hunters tax for
the purpose for which 1T was intend
ed"
