bruised and shaken, but sustained no
broken bones.
The father and son were pinned I'M
der the car; the other three were
thrown clear. 1t CHANGED that auto

prompt assistance, and thus the car
was lifted from the bodies Of the two
men, before death, through crushing,

RESPONSIBILITY.

I'M An automobile on Main street yes

Epf it's hind legs. The dog ran In front
OF the car and the accident was doubt
Mess no fault Of the driver. But the
sldog's leg was broken just the same and
&will probably have to be killed despite
Tits being valuable animal Of the bird
Hog species.
~ The amazing thing about the acct-
dent was that the: driver OF the auto
1never even slowed up his car after run
Nning down the dog. How he could have
remained In ignorance Of the injury he
had done. Is hard to conceive, but he
4 sped on down the street without .
glance behind. The injured dog hob
ubled around on three legs while spec.
Majors discussed what had best be done
with It.
M The man upon whom the real respon.
NJ sibil.ty rested was far away. Drivers

Il con eption Of the responsibility that

rights on the streets that must be re-
spected and doubtless the dog could
not claim the right Of way over the
auto but the fact remains that common
decency will not justify the drivers
failure to stop and see II In some
small part at least, he could not repair
1, the damage he had unwittingly DONE
"a The least service In the circumstances
\ would have been to pick up the dog

TIME 70 PuANT TREES.

Spring Is at hand. the Weather
shows 1t and the calendar proves 1t.
Trees and shrubs win soon be green
and seeds will soon be bursting open
to start new plant life Of all kinds.
Nature needs q little aid of man in
replenishing the trees that man has
cut down and used. Arbor day is a
feature of spring that is observed in
most states. On this day, people are
to plant young trees and
Y to start shrubs that the earth may not
some day be denuded of all things
green. The governor of Iowa has issu-
ed his annual proclamation setting
, aside April % as Arbor day. The
follows:
~ ut ID a great misfortune to the
state that her woodlands are SO rap
idly disappearing, both because Of
their usefulness and great beauty.
The traveller can but note how refresh
ing 1t is when the train runs through
q stretch of woods. The majesty, the
strength, the beauty, the silences of
the woods respond to something in tho
very depths Of us. The owners Of me
woods ought to so use them % to pre-
Eserve them. The state ought to be in
terested In some fine state parks. The
day Of her opportunity is going by. A
ltree In Iowa ought to be regarded ~
sacred. Out Of the future will come
the voice Of Iowa crying: Why did
The men Of the earlier day allow
Everything primeval to be swept
Faway; why did they make no provis-
Ion for greater, larger, inner life;
why were they without vision; why
swere they thoughtless Of the future?
It IL q custom to set apart q day
'called Arbor day and in accordance
with this custom do hereby desig-
nate Friday, April %, 1915, as such
day and recommend that 1t be observ-
ed In the schools Of the state, by
womerl's clubs and in such other ways
Ms the people may deem advisable and
and that on Sunday, April
& 9Th. the ministers of the state speak
to the people about obligation for the
future as herein suggested, to the end
that Arbor day may have q real Sig
sniflcance; that the same thought have
soreeminence in the schools, that the
gehildren be taught the value and beau
w OF trees, that trees be planted,
In the country ana 1T points
where they can be seen how, much
beauty great tree nifty years hence
will add to the landscape"
