Ladies' Serge Dresses

The Wool Dress seems to be one
of the most interesting lines of Gar
ments we are showing this season.
One reason they are SO popular is
the fact that they are line OF pop

made up in the seasons best style.
They are made by New England
manufacturers and on lines that fit

You would hardly believe that you
could buy for 1878 an All Wool

the amount of style they have, and
at the same time get a Dress that
is made to fit the form like it was
made for you.
This line of Dresses are made in
different styles and qualities, rang
ing in prices from 1918 to $14.OO.
This is line Of Dresses that are

ters second term in the White House. 1t was IN
1872 that Mr. Morton conceived the idea OF this
unique holiday and he forthwith introduced be
fore the Nebraska State Board of Agriculture, OF
which he member, a resolution setting
apart April 10 of that year tree planting day.
The legislature finally adopted the resolution
proposed by Mr.. Morton, although some OF
his colleagues thought that Sylvan Day" would
be a better title for the newlycreated festival.
and there is portion of the public that inclnes
to this belief today. The new scheme proved an
emphatic success and more than one million
trees were planted throughout Nebraska on that
first Arbor Day. Not only were the children OF
the public schools interested from the outset but
individuals and local societies of various kinds
participated This was due in part, no doubt, to
the fact that the Nebraska State Board of Agri-
culture which created the holiday, offered prize
of one hundred dollars to the agricultural society
of that county which planted properly the largest
number of trees, and provided farm library
and purse of twenty-five dollars for the person
who planted the largest number of trees.
The next year Arbor Day was observed through
out Nebraska with increasing enthusiasm and in
1874 the governor, by official proclamation des1g-
mated the second Wednesday of April as Arbor
Day for Nebraska In 1885, when the legislature
of the state formally designated Arbor Day as
holiday the date was changed to April 20. If Ne
braska can be taken example the influence
of Arbor Day is certainly most beneficial and the
only pity is that other states could not have
placed the holiday their official calendars as
early as did Nebraska. Statistics show that in
a period of sixteen years following the date on
which Farmer Morton secured the adoption OF
the Arbor Day project total of three hundred
and fifty million trees and vines were planted in
Nebraska as the direct outcome of this move
ment-
The first states to follow the example Of Ne
braska in adopting Arbor Day were Michigan and

Minnesota which took action In 1876. Thereafter
there followed steady procession of other states,
tie legislatures Of which became converts to the
popular idea. In 1887 the movement took root
in Canada, the Educational Department of On
tario setting apart day on which the trustees of
every rural school and incorporated village were
desired to plant shade trees and make flower
beds. Oddly enough, the State of New York did
not fall into line in this movement until the year
1888 but when the state legislature did take up
the matter it enacted very explicit legislation,
prescribing for exercises in the public schools
tending to encourage the planting, protection and
preservation of trees and shrubs.
Thus far only one foreign country has adopted
the American holiday known as Arbor Day. The
nation that has paid us this compliment of imi-
tation is Spain, but in the land of the Dons the
festival is known fiesta del Arbol, meaning
the Fete of the Tree. The Spanish holiday was
inaugurated in 1896 and is celebrated earlier than
in this country-namely, March 28 On the
first Tree Day in Spain the young King Alfonso
with the queen regent and the ladies of the court
proceeded to grounds situated near the village of
Hortazela, some two miles distant from Madrid
Here the king planted pine sapling and two
thousand children selected from the schools OF
Madrid Immediately followed his example. Then
gold medals commemorative of the event and
duly inscribed with the date were distributed
among the youthful tree planters Although only
Spain has actually copied the Yankee customs Of
Arbor Day. several other countries notably
France Great Britain, Japan and New Zealand,
have holidays that very similar to our tree
planting festival.
1t is probable that very few of the children who
plant trees or assist in planting trees on Arbor
Day realize that the United States government
maintains big institution the primary purpose
of which is not merely to encourage but actually
to carry on tree planting. This establishment
for the employees of which every day in the year
is Arbor Day, is known as the Division of Silv
culture and is a branch of the U. S. Forest Serv-
ice. In the average year Uncle Sans official
tree planters set out upwards of half million
trees, most of them located in the national for
ests Moreover not only does Uncle Sam main
tain his own nurseries source of supply for
his perpetual tree planting campaign, but he also
aids private owners who desire to set out trees
on their property. Finally, Uncle Sam is con-
Quoting valuable experiments in nursery opera
tions and planting work in cooperation with nine
different universities and state agricultural ex-
pertinent stations The object Of these expert
ments is to ascertain what species are best adapt
ed to different regions and to improve methods
of planting and cultivation

the Importance of trees to us as nation The
American people have suddenly awakened to the
fact that not only is the lumber supply of the
country being exhausted at dangerously rapid
rate, with prospect of replenishing but worse
yet, the wanton waste of our forests has sequel
in climatic changes that may mean hardship for
many citizens of the republic. Indeed, some ex-
perts go far to attribute to this cause the
terrific heat of last summer and the approx
mately exceptional cold of the past winter
Tree Day. would be quite as appropriate
name as Arbor Day for the spring holiday and
notable feature of its observance in the average
community consists in the planting of trees and
shrubs along roadsdes and in other suitable
places. In some instances the work devolves, by
decree of time -honored custom, upon magistrates,
local officials pubic-spirited citizens, but for
the most part it is in the hands of the teachers
and pupils of public and private schools. 1t is
not too much to say that Arbor Day, like sew
eral other of the spring festivals, is primarily
young peoples holiday.
For all that most communities observe ArDor
Day in April, the fact remains that it is NOV
able festival and there are some sections OF the
country where, owing to the climate it is desir-
able to have the tree planting exercises at some
other time of year. In majority of our states
the date for Arbor Day is either selected by the
state legislature or by the governor of the state
acting under legislative authority. Usually, SUI
perintendents of schools supplement the guberna-
torial proclamations the subject of Arbor Day
by the issuance of open letters bearing upon the
aim and object Of the holiday and with due ref
erence to the lessons it teaches.
The state of Nebraska gets credit for original
ing Arbor Day, for it was the pioneer in what
has become a national movement The indivd-
uaI who was the original author of the scheme
was none other than Mr. j. Sterling Morton, who
afterward became Secretary of Agriculture in the
Cabinet of President Cleveland during the lat

T is but natural that the people of
the United States should take an
especial interest in Arbor Day, be-
cause Arbor Day has been from the
outset a distinctly American holt
day. Year by year it has come to
have a more and more general OBJ
servance. All over this country
and in parts of Canada this inter-
esting annual occasion receives,
each successive year, an increasing
amount of attention from the pub
lie. 1t has also become the custom
in later years for the president of

MIGUEL TO FIGHT FOR MANUEL

The proposed movement to restore
King Manuel of Portugal to the
throne from which he was deposed by
his people will be one of the most
formidable ever prepared against an
existing government, according to the
man who expects to lead it, Dom
Miguel Of Braganza.
The former pretender, who has en-
tered into an offensive and defensive
agreement with Manuel, discussed his
plans freely the other day, only in
sisting that such portions as might
be Of benefit to the Portuguese gov
eminent be withheld.
Dom Miguel prefaced his remarks
by praising Americans he has met,
paying especial compliment to Mrs.
J. H. Smith, mother of his daughter
fn-law and widow of the American
Spectator, silent" Smith.
He emphasized his belief that it is
only a question Of time when the Por-
tuguese monarchy will be restored,
citing recent outbreaks in various
parts of that country to support his
