ARBOR DAY.
Its Observance 10 Maryland Schools on
Friday Next April 3.

Arbor Day was first observed in
this country by the school children of
Western state more than forty
years ago. From q small beginning
in treeless state the idea spread,
until now it is day regularly set
apart each spring not alone in nearly
ell of the states, but in many foreign
countries as well.
The Governor mas designated Fri
day, April 8, as Arbor Day in Mary
land, and much good can be accom-
plished in the right direction, aud
valuable lesson conveyed to the chill
dren in the public schools, where il
is properly observed. The State
Board of Forestry recommends the
planting of useful trees on that day.
The shade and protection afforded by
few well-plsced trees or belt of
trees, adds much to the attractiveness
of the school yard, and comfort in all
seasons to the school itself.
Trees planted on that day should
not be forgotten when the exercises
are over, and allowed TO die through
neglect, for given careful attention
they serve as object lessons in use
fulness, and the children will watch
their growth from year to year with
interest and satisfaction. But Arbor
Day in Maryland is not alone a day
for tree planting, important as that
is in itself. 1t is day when children
should be made better acquainted
with our native trees and their use to
us. not alone the trees which shade
and ornament the city streets and
country highways, but the forest
trees and the forest itself.
The great Importance Of Mary
lands woodland should be shown-its
Importance as a regulator and con-
server of stream flow, modifier Of
climate, and the source of industries
which are worth millions of dollars
to the State each year, not alone in
valuabls products, but in the employ
ment they give to thousands of her
men and ;women. Children will en-
Joy hearing these things. and in later
years will look with pride on sch nol
yards improved and beautified by the
in their observance Of ArboT Day.

Lace Curtain Ignites in Washington
Street House-Damase Slight

The house at 81 Washington street
owned by Edward Bellavance and oc-
cupied by Thomas Thibodeau, was the
scere at about s o'clock Wednesday
evening of an incipient fire which
might have proved serious had it not
been for the prompt action of the peo-
pie in the house at the time of its dis
covery. The blaze was in a sleeping
room on the second floor and was due
to the igniting of a lace curtain from
a lamp which had been set too near
IT. The fire was seen by some one
passing the house and upon the in
mates being notified it was quickly
extinguished by them without the de-
partment being called. The damage
was small and was covered by insur-
ance in the c. E Downing agency.

a large proportion of the DAYS business
was transacted. This stock was thrown
over in lots of 1000 to 300 shares Traders
regarded Steel as a particularly good
