memorg again p1 the d. dutY we owe to that
ancient and useful friend of mantle
tree.
In all the ages of the world it has been
true to our interest and loyal to our SER
vice. 1t has furnished the cradles and
collins of our ancestors; tables for the
king and the cottager alike. 1t has given
comfort and shelter to the peasant and
the prince-to the pauper and the poten-
tate.
Trees are the royal family of the vege-
table kingdom. Neither the quarry nor
the mine has done more for civilization
than the forest. Neither stone nor steel
can outlive or out-rival the usefulness of
the tree. 1t is more useful to civilization
than silver-more valuable to civilization
than gold. 1t gives US food and fire and
and a greater variety of the necessities
and luXuries of life than any other article
of ancient or modern commerce.
Trees have always figures in our divine
and patriotic relations. Among them the
religion of man was born. Groves were
the first cathedralS of our race. Birds
singing in their boughs and branches gave
us the first idea of sacred music and the
sustenance of our first parents From
their leaves were fashioned the first gar
ments that covered their nakedness. When
Gods displeasure threatened the extinc-
ton of our race Noah looked into the
forest and found there the means OF saliva
ton 1t was under the - oak tree that
Jehovah conversed with a great man in
Israel. 1t was in the tree tops that David
among the palms of the Garden of
Gethsemane that Jesus spent the last
evening of his life. The battle for Ameri-
can freedom was consumated under the
apple tree of Appomattox.
For centuries, and until man came to
profit by its use, nature denied the tree
to the greater part of Kansas. We are
now learning how it conserves the mois-
ture in our SOIL that it changes and modt-
flies our climate, that it gives beauty and
charm to our landscape, that it can solve
the problems of slides and drifts and
floods, that it influences our civilization
and adds materially to. the wealth and
happiness of the people
Therefore, l, w. r. Stubs. Governor
of the State of Kansas, in accordance
with the custom of my immediate prede-
cessors and the delightful sentiment of
a better generation, do hereby ordain and
proclaim that FRIDAY, APRIL THE
EIGHTH, will be set apart and dedicated
to the planting of trees throughout the
state and 1 do especially urge the five
hundred thousand school children of Kan
sas to participate in the enterprise.
Given under my hand and
the Great Seal of the State at
the Capitol in the City of To-
ISeaL1 peka this Seventeenth day of
March, in the Year of Our
Lord, Ninteen Hundred and
Ten.
