and Arbor Day
late Superintendent, c. G. Schulz
Thinks Day Important One
To Children
TEACHES CIVIC PRIDE
Bird Life as Well as Plant and
Flower Life Should Be Studied
and Preserved

Regarding the observance of Ar
Dor and Bird Day in the schools OF
the State, C. G. Schulz, State Su-
perintendent of Education, makes the
following statement to all educators
of the state through the state press.
The day is one of interest to all who
are anxious to see the increase OF
beautiful trees and well-kept grounds
az we'll as to the instructors of child
rem.
BY proclamation of the Governor,
April II is designated as Abor and
Bid day for Minnesota.
The day should not pass unnoted,
for the value of the subjects connec-
ted with it is incalcuIable. 1t affords
an opportunity of teaching lessons
in civic pride, gives point to the clean
up of the school house and grounds,
and of Identification by planting 'of
hardy vines, or shrubs and trees to
improve the grounds. Bird houses
might be made and placed advan-
ta& us.y to help the birds in their
spring house-hunting.
The practical observance of Arbor
day by planting trees and shrubs
will be emphasized and stimulated
by appropriate exercises, including
talks on the value of the forests, and
the need of conservation of our trees
wild flowers and birds, the writing OF
compositions and reciting of season
able selections.
A more intimate acquaintance with
birds and bird life in Minnesota ano
with our native trees and flowers
should naturally follow from keen
Ter interest in the observance of Ar

Redwood County
To Have Services
of Cholera Expert
Senator Clague Secures Man in State
Employ to Help Stock
Raisers in County #
WILL ARRIVE MAY FIRST
State Pays Expenses of Man Who
Will Work Here As Long as
Necessary To Check Disease

While Senator Frank C1ague was
in st. Paul yesterday he made a.
transaction by which the farmers of
Redwood County will be greatly
benefited. Through Mr.. Clague's in
fiuence the State Department has
consented to send a State expert of
Hog Cholera to Redwood Falls, to
work in Redwood County until the
cholera scourge is conquered. Min
nesota has only six of these experts
and Redwood County is extremely
fortunate to obtain the services of
one of them. The salary of the ex-
pert is paid by the state, and his
work will be free of any remunera-
ton from the farmers who may need
his service.
On Grounds Soon
This gentleman will arrive May [,
and remain as long as his services
are required. He will make Redwood
Falls his headquarters.
Hog Cholera Day
Arrangements are being made al
50, for special day to be devoted
to the study of hog cholera and its
cure. Demonstrations. will be given
and cures and methods of treatment
discussed by DR.. Ward, Secretary of
the Live Stock Commission, DR.. Rey-
nolds, Chief Veterinarian Of Mime
sofa, and DR.. Hosl<ins who is expert
authority on cholera serum.
This day will be either April %
or May 2, probably the latter date.
Definite announcements will be made
next week.
Free Serum Possible
The United States Government is
very anxious to check any further
inroads of cholera, and it is possible
that it may be possible to obtain
serum free of charge for use in Red
wood County Owing to the many
calls made for the serum, it may not
be possible to obtain this, but those
most interested are very hopeful.

bloodshed and disease, but they have

The Alder Tree.
If each soldier and sailor who has
been ordained to take part in this worst
of all conflicts had been inoculated with
the killed and boiled microbes Of typhoid
fever, dysentery, cholera, lockiaw and
the other fevers which rage In war
times, they would have been protected
from those malad.es as surely as they
are by waco nation nowadays from
smallpox.
Among the trees noted for their many
properties. which in some manner aid
the health strength and comfort of the
human tribe. may be mentioned the
alder. 1t is particularly obnoxious to
fieas the insect upon whose backs and
legs the plague bacillus rides.
In former days the alder tree was
used for piles. foundation wharyes.
docks and even water pipes. When
thus driven into the water they become
black as jet and as imperishable. The
foundations of many of the buildings on
the canals of Venice, and the Rfalto Of
Venice are built of these aseptic alder
trees.
The Olive Tree.
Wooden shoes. clogs. cogs of mil

The sycamore tree is another common
tree of great value to mans health and

The Daily
Editorial
For Women
Divorce and Poor Meals.
BY BETH JEFFRIES.

The Diet Kitchen Associations claim
that among the many causes for divorce
and marital unhappiness none Is more
weighty. more common, yet more un-
noticed than the badly concocted meal.
This sounds at first as If It had been
especially coined for the purpose Of serv-
ing as an argument for the diet Kitten
ems: then the more one thinks aoout 1t,
the more sensible it seems, until, re-
enforcing it by personal knowledge and
experience, it assumes all Of the vir-
tues of an undersigned and disinterested
argument.
All that is necessary for its complete
verihcation is an actual instance.
Here follows that very instance,
copied appropriately from the court
record of q New Jersey paper. 1t was
written. BY some reporter. not as an
argument for the diet kitchens, and not
for any utilitarian purpose, but just as
q human interest story.
Three fearful wives, one at a time,
appeared before Judge Hahn today in
the Third precinct court and ac-
cused their husbands of harsh treat
ment. The first, Mrs. Annie kainga,
of 43 Magazine street, bride of four
months. told to the court that her
husbands love had already grown
cold She pointed to bruise on her
forehead. which she averred she re-
ceived last night in exchange for a
short answer to her husbands
query. why is the supper cold?''
Stephen Kainga, the accused young
husband. admitted the truth OF his
wife's statement. He explained that.
though he loved his wife, he wanted
to impress upon her the Importance
of having hot supper ready when
he came home from work, SO he
I'm AZ ha aynYQGlad
il, To drive home his argument.
The court told them to go home and
make up" They left the courtroom
arm in arm and smiling.
This is not an argument in defense Of
the cave man husband. neither IS 1t an
argument for the subjugation OF the
wife, but it is a practical, # rather
sordid. illustration of what happens in
a certain class of society when the
woman does not do her part
Stephen drove home his argument
with a knock: he felt no constra1nt
impossible to stoop to striking their
wives. Theirs is method OF muca
more refined torture, of staying away,
Of drinking, of calmly and quietly sum-
ming the wife uD as bad business
proposition and Of getting rid OF her;
And hereupon have We arrived at d.
vorce. the weapon of the cultured man
for furnishing the ''cold supper wife
,1f course. the whole argument falls to
pieces like a milkweed If the husband
is habitually late.
The woman must know 70 certainty
wher her man is coming home. If he
cannot appear at the dinner time, he
should let the woman know twenty
minutes before he does arrive, or wait
twenty minutes after he comes.
However. that is going into the details
of tbe question. and few men are so
Gntouched by good meals that they
would not play fair on little thing
like time.

Source of Revelation.
The story of this love affair is a dead
giveaway, and will be a source Of great
revelation to the quarry.
First, Jean catches him, then she all
so delicately makes him kiss her against
her will, and they are found out, and
she confesses that they are engaged and
there you are. He is a Nbertine, she
d sweet young girl. but it is respectable
tnat she marry him. OF this, the he

But they were tricked into being mar
ried. and although the reader can sym
pathize with the relief of the famil.I
after the knot is tied. there is a feeling
Of embarrassment about the whole pro-
ceeding. The screaming hypocrisy OF
the victory is a stronger argument than
all Helens wonderful ideas put to-
gether.
