WORTHY OF EMULATION.

Next Saturday, April (. is Tree Day In this great and glorious eoun. try. The day Is designated to call attention to the great benefits 10 be derived by nation from the planting of trees
 Over in Memphis big mercantile firm has put on a big stunt The firm is distributing absolutely free 25.000 silver maple trees. The only thing asked for by the firm is pledge to plant the trees in Memphis
 Twenty years from now, and forey- CT hereafter If Memphis becomes des- lgnated as the Silver Maple city, for it's beautiful and abundant silver ma. pie trees. the name of firm Is writ ten into history forever and ever.
 As an advertising stunt the scheme is a great one, but as a philanthroplc movement it is still greater.
 Here in Hot Springs it Is time we were putting on something big to make Hot Springs particularly deslg- hated from the whole line of resorts of the country We wouldn't want any silver maple tree planting. be cause Memphis mas that, but we do want something big undertaken for the identification of Hot Springs that will be distinctly individual
 Suggestions are in order, and con sideration should be given the adapta- bility Of the climate and soil here, so that whatever is undertaken in the planting line will not be difficult An other thing to be given consideration is the popularity of the selecton, for it must be popular to be universally planted, and unless it is a co-opera- tive movement, 1t will not be worth much while.

Cause for Complaint

Honey Creek, Ia,

Mahoney & Lahman
Missouri Valley, Iowa,
Dear Sirs-I wish to inform
you that your Weekly paper
has been from two to seven
days behind time lately. Now
l don't want to find fault, but
just imagine a man sitting
down to read a paper seven
days behind time in this day
and age of the world and be-
sides | get letters from your
town on the same day they are
written. Hoping you will find
the cause of delay, l remain,
Your respectfully,
Joseph Thomas.
There are considerable trou-
bles connected with a news
paper office, but we have pulled
our hair more. over the fact
that our papers are on the road
or in some post office for over q
week, than any other trouble
we have ever experienced.
Our subscribers in Loveland,
Honey Creek and Crescer t
make the same complaint ard
we have written letters repeat
eddy concerning the delay.
The trouble is not with any of
the above mentioned towns,
nor with Mr.. Album, postmas-
ter at this city, but is caused by
the fact that the pouches con-
tanning our papers are carried
through to Council Bluffs or
Omaha, where they lay indefi-
nately. The last letter receiv-
ed fcom headquarters to Mr..
Album Of this city, stated to
hold our papers and mail them
on No. Is, which leaves this
city at 2::25 p. M, and see if
that would not be better. This
week, the papers were held un-
It'll Friday afternoon and we
are very hopeful that the sub
scribers will receive the Times,
not later than Saturday morn
ing. 1t is exasperating to US,
as we'll as our subscribers, to
| think that it takes a week to
get our papers from five to ten
miles distance, when we don't
have the least trouble in any
other direction, out of this city.
We have even taken the
papers to the post office
had them put in a pouch, and
taken the same to the train or
Thursday evening, and then
get the encouraging news that
! the paper didn't reach Love.
