ARBOR DAY APRIL 3
Governor Clarke in Proclamation
Urges Planting of Trees.

Gov. George w. Clarke yesterday is
sued his first proclamation. 1t sets
aside April % as Arbor day. The gov.
ernor urges that all Iowa plant trees
on the public school grounds. A. M.
Deyoe. state superintendent of public
schools. asked the governor to issue
the proclamation early SO that all
school teachers will have an Oppor-
tunity to arrange for tree planting
programs. The proclamation follows:
John Ruskin said: while | live, |
trust shall have my trees, my peace
full idyllic landscapes, my free coun-
try life-and while | possess so mucn,
II shall own 100000 shares in the Bank
| of Contentment." How we love the
trees that sheltered our childhood,
| Some of tue finest, sweetest memoir
les of life are there. The tree that we
planted with our own hands many
years ago, now strong against winter
storms and beautiful in summer sun
shine, what sense of proprietorship
and ineXpressible comfort we have
in it.
oh, have you seen on a wayside
slope.
! The elms and naples, with branches
high;
That someone planted, in faith and
/ hope, 49,
! Far back in the silent years gone
by"
oh, not in vain there were left in
trust.
/ To . later age theNtrees he set;
When he who planted is turned to
dust,
The good that he wrought survives
him yet
Then plant a tree. Let the chill
dren plant trees. Let a day be desig
mated when all Iowa shall plant trees
on the public school grounds.
( Thirty years ago the legislature en-
acted. I"Ine board shah cause to be
set out and properly protected twelve
ior more shade trees on each school
house site where such trees are not
growing" If this statute has some
times been forgotten it is well to re-
vive the memory of it. How fine 1t
would be il the public generally, espe-
cially In the smaller towns and cities
under competent direction would, with
the schools, devote a day to the ques-
ton of beautifylng pubnc parks and
grounds.
| Therefore, in, accordance with an es.
Itablished custom I do hereby desig.
mate Friday, April 25, 1913. as Arbor
day. and recommend that it be observ-
ed by our schools and cities and
towns in such way as may be deemed
appropriate and fitting to the pur-
poses of the day.
In testimony whereof, | have here.
unto set my hand and caused to be
affixed the Great Seal OF the State of
Iowa, this 4th day of February, A. d..
1913.

futures. Receipts of over 725 cars
were pretty well taken at prices
shade higher than yesterday.
Oats: Were lower with other

AN early bulletin showing $4,000

ness and slow, buying. The eastern
demand was not very strong, but To-
zeal packers snow indications that
they need hogs and later in the day
became heavy buyers and had the
price raised on them another sc.
The average price at this time is .es-
;timated at SC above that OF yesterday.
Very few hogs went over and tomor-
rows run is not estimated at large,

push hogs over the $500 line.

Cattle trade was not overly active
today. The lack of activity, however,
did not effect any lowering OF prices,
buyers appearing willing to pay from

in the stocker and feeder section has
improved some over last week, but
the supply is light and the general
