ARBOR DAY. APRIL II.

Governor Baldwin yesterday issued his proclamation appointing April Il, 1911, as Arbor and Bird Day. The proclamation follows:
 ''The return of spring to gladden. and adorn the earth reminds us that we can become fellow workers with God in aiding the forces of nature to bring beauty and freshness into hu- man life.
 "I, therefore, pursuant to the stat utes of this State, hereby designate Tuesday, the eleventh day of April next. as Arbor and Bird Day, and I recommend that all, who can. use the opportunity to plant trees suitable for shade and ornament around their homes, or in the public roads; and that in our schools the teachers on that day read aloud this proclamation, and impress upon the minds of those subject to their care the loveliness of groves and shaded avenues; the solici- tude with which our laws seek to guard the perpetuation of the song bird; and the many ways in which children can do an important part in preventing injuries to. birds or trees. and so in giving their State a greater charm, and making it more dear to all it's people"

Two acts of widely different char acter contest for first honors on the Poh bill this week, one of the acts being the Lorch Family, and the other Lydia Barry. The Lorch Fam fly Is undisputably the most sensa- tional exhibition of acrobatics ever of fered by the Poii management. The keynote of their work is what is known in stage parlance as "Risley' work, introduced into this country by the Japanese and consisting of somer- saults. balancing and twisting by ac- robats. the proSelItz-E force being the feet Of other measeers of the troupe There are twelve people in the act including quintet of youngsters and three women, and their work is posi- lively sensational. Their Judgment of distance is evident when one sees them thrown from feet to feet over the back of ponies. The act is splen- didly costumed and the applause all the way through for each and every trick is as wonderful as the work it. self.

Hearing Tomorrow on
 Liberal Sunday Bill

In Hartford tomorrow afternoon be- fore the Judiciary committee, will come the hearing upon the bill pre- scented by Representative Joshua Melt ger of this city, providing for a more liberal Sunday in Connecticut.
 MT Meltzer's measure aims to make it possible to play baseball or indulge in other clean sports and pastimes on Sunday, in proper localities, without the fear of legal interference. It is aimed to give the working people who are cooped up in factories and shops for six days a week, a chance to en- joy the out-of-doors on the seventh. It is hoped that a large delegation of Bridgeporters will go to the Capitol to speak for this bill.

 "A deaf woman went one Sunday to church. The sexton or sergeant-at- arms. or whoever the functionary may be who collects the contributions and keeps in touch with the general man. agement. had his eye on the stranger. After the usual preliminaries the min lister opened his Bible to announce the text At this juncture the deaf wo- man produced an ear trumpet. The sexton was mortified, but, being an Irishman, was equal to the emergency. He tiptoed over to the seat of the un- conscious stranger and hissed in her ear 'Wah toot on that, ma'am, and I'll put yez out of the choorch.''

The AdVenturer.

Still IN the city on his visit, Uncle
Zech strayed downtown one morning
by himself. His eye caught the sign
on q passing car. Can It be pos
sible?" he exclaimed. Looking closer,
he saw that his first impression was
correct. "Zoo," said the sign.
What wonderful things there are
in the cityl" he said to himself.
Think of carrying a menagerle
around In q street car for passengers
to see Ne for that" (He was learn
ing city talk.)
Yelling, waving his arms and rum
ming at top speed, he attracted the at
tention of the conductor, who held
the car at the next corner.
Pulling up, Uncle Zech swung
aboard, paid his fare and went inside.
There was the zoo: Several foreign
ers, some deadheads, two early mar
keters, a street car hog, q trained let
ter carrier, a crouch, two mollycod-
dies and q hIgh-brow.
Uncle took them all in, feeling Sc
cure in the comforting presence Of
large policeman, but when he heard
snarling on the back platform he
made for the front and escaped at the
next corner.

Reservations Near Home
Awaiting Opening.

settlement of two Indian reser
vations, one in Minnesota, thu
other in North Dakota, has
brought a crowd of applicants
| to the land offices to take chance:
on the rattle Of farms which the
Government is about to hold
When settlers will gather from
all parts of the country in front
Of a land Office and stand in
inc for days and weeks in the
hope of winning something in a
gambling game, in which the
prizes are permission to pay
51.25 an acre for 160-acre farms,
it does look as though there
must be a considerable amount
of land hunger and a great scar
city of land.
Yet it is a safe assertion that
every one of these applicants
from a distance had to pass over
large stretches of unused land to
reach the land Office and much,
if not all of this land, is better
and more conveniently located
than the land which is to be
raffled off. But existing laws
make all this land practically in
accessible to cultivators. In all
the States the tax laws are so
drawn that land held out of use
is not taxed as much as land
which is being put to some pro-
ductive use. In this way land
owners are encouraged to hold
land out of use on speculation,
while land improvers are dis
couraged. So, in a country big
enough to furnish farms to all
the farmers in the world with
out exhausting its supply, there
is nevertheless such a scarcity of
available land that the opening
of a reservation causes a rush
from all over the country for a
chance to get a farm.
The remedy is obvious. A re-
versal of present taxation meth
DDS is necessary. The total ex-
emption of labor and labor pro-
ducts from all kinds of taxation
and the placing of the entire
burden on land values, would at
once cause the opening of all
this unused land to labor. Land
owners who are putting their
land to its most productive use,
would, under this change, ex-
perience a considerable tighten
ing of tax burdens. Land own
ers who are holding out of use
on speculation, land that other
people would like to use, would
find their taxes increased, and
would at once realize the desira-
bility of either improving the
land themselves or of letting
others do so.
There are reservations close
by that need opening. -Ameri-

Cow Peas.

The more we see of cow peas
the better we think of them as a
substitute for clover and alfalfa.
Where alfalfa will grow and
thrive there is nothing better, of
course, but in many places alfalfa
will not do we'll, while in dry
years like the last two clover is
uncertain. But dry weather has
no terrors for COW peas, if this
year is any test, for they have
grown the best of any crop on
the farm. They are quick crop
to raise and a good one to clean
up land as they can be sown so
late. If a man has a piece of
foul land he can wait until the
middle of June before blowing
and then have plenty of time to
SOW the peas. In addition to
their sureness they have the same
effect on the soil that clover
does. Taken altogether, we be-
lieve they are going to prove a
great a thing for southeastern
Kansas.
Having assured ourselves that
hardly any season was to dry in
which to raise a good crop of
cowpeas here in eastern Kansas
the next question that came up
was, what value are they going
to have as feed for stock? Never
having fed any we have been,
for the last two weeks, making
diligent inquiry from those who
have raised them in the past as
to their feeding qualities. We
did not talk with a single per-
son who was not pleased with
them. All said that cattle were
as anxi ous for them as alfalfa.
One man did not stack his last
winter but buncned the crop upI
in the field and fed it as it was
needed. He also had good al
falfa hay right from the barn
and he said that he could not
see but that the stock liked the
cowpeas as we'll as they did the
alfalfa.
Another friend who raised II
acres said that all kinds of stock
ate the cowpea hay greedily and
that he had a colt which would
eat nothing else as long as it
lasted. And these men not only
agreed that cowpeas were all
that could be desired as feed but
that they had a splendid effect
on the soil. One man has Sc
cured this summer a stand Of
clover on the land which grew
cowpeas last year while he has
had none at all on the rest of
the "a acres that he sowed. He
says there can be no doubt but
that the cowpeas put the land in
such condition that the clover
lived even through this hot sum-
mer and we think he is right.
On our way to town We pass
field in corn, part of which was
m cowpeas last year. 1t can be
told right to the row where the
cowpeas grew even from the
road and the corn on the cowpea
looks good for S bushels
