ARBOR DAY.
November 9th Set Apart BY Coy. Nc
! CTeary for Tree Planting.

l., James b. McCreary, Governor
of the Commonwealth, do issue this
proclamation, designating Thursday,
November 6, 1913, as Arbor Day
for the Commonwealth Of Kentucky
and request its observance by the
planting of trees and such other ex-
ercises as may be deemed proper.
The attention of all the people,
and especially the teachers and pu-
pills of all the colleges and schools,
is called TO the Importance of plant
ing trees. Every proper effort should
be made for the renewal OF our
forests.
In the last decade there has been
great development along forestry
lines in the United States. The in
Iauguration of forest management in
the national forests, the activity of
various states in public forestry,
and the interest of private owners
In the tree-growing, have resulted
In marked improvement in every
thing connected with forestry. There
are now a number of colleges in
the United States where forestry is
included in the curriculum. In the
last few years there has cen a
constantly increasing activity in
hn frty NJ III ~
and now thirty States have some
Kind of organization for forestry
work.
call upon the people to give
more attention to the observance of
Arbor Day in Kentucky than has
been given heretofore. / not only
desire the students of all the col
leges to take an active interest in
the setting out of trees, but pupils
of every common school in
the State could render immense SER
vice by each of them setting out
one tree on Arbor Day.
School house yards, home yards,
public roads, pastures and fields
should be beautified with trees.
Our natural forests are diminishing
and we must not only save what
is left of the forests, but we must
re-forest the cut-over. the burnt
over, and the interested districts of
the State.
JAS. b. McCREARY, Governor.

WOMEN MAY Vote
For Superintendent Of Schools is the
Decision Of Court Of Appeals.

Frankfort. Ky, Oct. 16.-Women
of Kentucky may vote for County
School Superintendent. The Court
OF Appeals to-day overruled mo-
ton by County Clerk J. II. Crook,
OF Anderson-co., TO dissolve an in
junction granted Mrs. Wallace M.
Bartlett by the Anderson Circuit
Court requiring him to provide sep
arate ballots for women In the No
vember election. The court held that
the suffrage provision OF the Act of
1912,giying women the right to vote
In common school elections" in
cluded County school Superinten-
dents
The court said: THE Co. Board
Of Education virtually occupies the
place formerly filled by School Trus-
tees, and yet 1t seems evident that
as women have the right to vote for
School Trustees, they would also have
the right to vote for other school
officers who take the place of
School Trustees, although called by
another name, invested with larger
powers and elected by the county
and not the district"
The foregoing from the highest
court in the States settles very
question, and it win prob
ably materially affect the vote for
County Superintendents throughout
the entire State. Women who desire
to vote on November 4th may do so
without any annoyance whatever. A
separate ballot will be provided for
them, and to vote all they have to
do is to give their names to the
election clerk, get ballot from
him, go into booth and mark with
a stamp the little square after the
name of their candidate and return
the folded ballot to the election Of
ficers. This is all there is to 1t.
