GOVERNOR'S ARBOR DAY
 MESSAGE TO CHILDREN

T4atford, April 8-Governor Baldwin has written a, short message to the school children of the state, which is included in the Arbor Day bulletin, printed by the state board of educa- ton and distributed about the schools of the state. The bulletin contains sl1egestions for the observance of Ar Dor Day, which comes on Friday, April IS, with a number of selections for reading and recitation.
 The Governors message is as fol- lows:-
 birds?
 A good many things. Here are a few of them.
 They can keep from breaking branches off from their neighbors' trees, from cutting the bark off their netghbors' silver birches; from build ing fires in hollow tree trunks; and from leaving any fires burning, which they may have set in the woods.
 They can keep from robbing birds nests and shooting song birds They can encourage birds to nest in their gardens by hanging up on the trees in spring time bits of twine or rav- eIIed threads that caqvbe used to build the nests. They can put out food in the winter, when the snow covers the ground and the bushes for the birds that winter withSus to eat
 Let these serve as samples of what any child in a country town finds right at hand to do. The city child has fewer chances, but every paFk and bit of neighboring woodland brings him some
 If everybody, young and old, does what he can, according to his oppor- tunities, to preserve and multiply our trees and birds, he does his duty by them. To do less is to fail of duty R4 duty to the state
