APRIL II and Is SET ASIDE
AS ARBOR DAYS
GOVERNOR TENER IN PROCLA-
NATION ISSUED FRIDAY
FIXES DATES FOR PLANTING.

Friday, April II, and Friday,
April 25, were designated as the
arbor days for Pennsylvania by Gov.
Tener in a proclamation issued at
the Capitol. The proclamation which
calls attention to the Importance of
conservation is as follows:
"The prosperity and commercial
independence of a nation depends
very largely upon the ratio of its
production of raw products to its
consumption of the same. AS the
rate of consumption relatively in
creases, the cost of living advances
and dependence upon other nations
finally follows. During the last fifty
years our State and nation have eX-
perienced a wonderful industrial de-
velopment which has been attended
by a tremendous increase in the rate
of consumption and a relative de-
crease in the rate of production.
This industrial development has
made heavy demands upon our for
ests, as a result of which the rate of
consumption of forests and forest
products has been and is now far
in excess Of the rate of production.
Wasteful methods of numbering and
lOT6SJ nT6S are Gull uIIlDuIlnS ldCIOl D.
Diseases such as the chestnut tree
blight are exacting their annual toll.
UNLESS the rates of production
and consumption can be made to ap-
proach each other, we shall soon be-
come forest poor. By the practice
of intelligent, conservative methods
this ratio can be controlled.
"It requires, first, a knowledge of
the remedies for existing conditions
and, second, the initiative to put
these remedies into operation. In
order that the citizens of this Com
monwealth may be intelligently in
formed concerning the forest condi-
tions of the State and of the coun-
try at large, and, further, that tree
planting, reforestation and the prac-
tice of correct forestry methods may
be stimulated, the custom has been
established of setting aside one or
more days each Spring for the OBJ
servance of Arbor Day.
'In accordance with the above
custom, 1, John K. Tener, Governor
of the State of Pennsylvania, do
hereby designate Friday, April 18th,
and Friday, April 25th, 1918, Arbor
Days throughout the Commonwealth
"All public and private schools are
urged to participate in the observ-
ance of the day by planting trees and
by conducting such exercises as will
give a clear conception of the i'm
portance of this subject.

AGED MAN REGAiNING LOST
FACULTIES LIKE A CHILD
After Removal of Tumor In Brain, Pa
tient. Sixty three, Is Born Again.


Every morning a number of the lead
ing surgeons of Denver gather at the
county hospital to watch the remarka-
BILE spectacle of a, man siXty-three
years old literally baby. Each day
the patient acquires the use of one or
two more of his faculties until he can
now move, eat, recognize persons and
speak few words.
The man is Luther Dionne, who for
five years has been practically dying
from a tumor in his brain. He was
paralyzed, speechleess, sightless and
outwardly dead on Dec. 80 last, when
| DR.. Leonard Freeman, assisted by DR..
Clarence Hall, operated upon his brain.
They removed a tumor larger than
walnut from the corteX of the brain.
This tumor had destroyed all the nerve
fibers except those running to the
heart and lungs.
For two weeks after the operation
Luther Dionne lay as if dead. He
was fed through the nostrils. Then
he began to undergo a complete sec
ond birth into life. His fingers began
to move. The next day his toes mOv
ed On the third day he could lift his
arm slightly, and so on, day after day,
the rejuvenation continued. At the
end of ten days he regained his sight,
but was like baby and knew no one.
When two weeks had passed he spoke
word or so, repeating after the
nurses flood" or doctor" or nurse"

They fit the needs Of the country ex'
cellently and should turn out fine
types OF boys and girls. They do this
with a remarkable faith in the value
of right education.
Dean Curtiss was much interested
in the many other ways the Canadian
government aids agriculture, aside
from appropriations for educational
purposes. They are aiding in solving
marketing problems; they are encour'
aging better breeding of livestock by
buying sires and reselling them at
cost, and they are doing many other
things of like character.
II found that the government is ad
vancing from so to So per cent OF
the money necessary to build co-opera'
tive creameries and elevators" said
Team Curtiss,. "and 1t is doing it at a
low rate of interest and on long time
payments. Where cattle need breed
ing up, the government buys bulls OF
dairy. Shorthorn, or special dairy
breeds and sends them in at cost price
and on long time payments"
The yield of grain in Western Can
ada in 1918 was excellent but not alb
normal, wheat going from 80 to At
bushels per acre, and other small grain

He shuddered and hurried down
side street of American-basement

curtains that sealed happy homes
from the profane eyes of the public.
And this atmosphere gave Mulcahy
hope. The inspiration born of des-
pair took root
He intended to abandon all thoughts
OF getting work until warm weather.
1t was worse than hopeless to think
he could get work now-why, the
weather, his age, all were against II.
He would go back to the pen" II he
had literally to steal" his way back.
The thing to do now was to conjure
up some reasonable offense, some
trifiing transgression that would open
the iron gates Of the prison, as diff
ticult of entrance as it was OF exit,
and tide him over the winter months.
But what could he do? Not a single

the ragged gentleman" that the next
day he advertised In all the papers
that he wished to reward the person
who had restored his daughter to her
family
But Malcahy never learned of this
golden opportunity which might have
given him new start In life, though
he gave the officer who accompanied
him to the island the name and ad-
dress OF the little owner of the neck
lace. and 1t was sent to her.
The next day saw Mulcahy safely
aboard the Fidelity and headed for the
pen"
At the end OF the week he was sit
ting at the Christmas dinner which
had seemed a fantom on that dread
full day he was set at liberty.
Between mouthfuls Of fat turkey
and cranberry sauce he boosted to

When he reported for work. few
days later, the keeper who presided
over the men engaged In breaking

Afterward, when Mulcahy left her
standing at the door Of her home
waving at him and smiling in her
sweet, frank way, he wondered how
he had found 1t in his heart to steal
the necklace; but there it was in
his hand, still warm from contact with
her throat.
Then he darted away from the
street, and. clasping the locket tightly,

and desperate struggle to keep his
feet on the globe had frayed its
edges.
No, he determined to go back there
honorably, as he had left. He might
get job shoveling snow-but alas! it
was one of those cherries Christ
masses. and nature had not even sup
piled the people out OF work with
snow to shovel.
Mulcahy had worked all his life.
He was fifty now, and, as he unrolled
the long catalogue of calamity which
other people might have called his
career. he found that the only year
OF his life that had been happy one
was his last in Jail.

smell OF hops brought Mulcahy to

The story will move much more
rapidly IL we do not follow Mulcahy
and wait for him to eat his corned
beef and philander with a spirit more
of his ilk than any he has met for
the last year. spirit that seemed al
most fabulous when dreamed of in

A S THE boat pointed its nose to-

at the prov turned his back
on freedom and gazed longing
ly at the graystone penitentiary,
which seemed to be slipping away
from him and growing smaller and
cozier as distance lent the enchant-
ment Of perspective to his loneliness.
For Mulcahy, dazzled by liberty,
was very lonely indeed. Every mo-
ment that the water widened between
him and the prison It lessened the
distance from the city, and in two
minutes more the man knew that the
metropolis. bristling with antogonism,
cold and strange and busy with its
holiday Jeason, would be upon him,
and it filed his heart with name

But, after all. he had only himself
to blame for his liberty Good be-
