Autumn ArbOr Day.

However little may be
At least l, too, can plant tree,
And some day it will grow so high
That it can whisper to the sky,
And spread its leafy branches wide
To make a shade on every side.
Then on a sultry summer day,
The people resting there will say
"Oh, good, and wise, and great was he
Whothoughtto plant this blessd tree. ="
anonymous.
The time for the fall planting
of trees is again nigh at hand.
The custom of planting trees
/ the fall and in the spring can
lot be urged too often or toe
strongly. Each year we cut sew
eral times as much timber as
grows. Fruit trees and shade
trees grow old and die. New
trees should be planted to take
the place of those which grow old
and useless.
The Legislature has added the
study of birds to the duties of
Arbor Day. In these days one
hears much about national prepa-
ration for defense. Few have
any adequate conception of the
relentless war which insects are
waging against the farmer and
the fruit-grower. Birds are our
best allies in fighting these de-
structive enemies.
In accordance with long es-
tablished custom, Friday, Octo-
Der p, 1915, is shereby designated
as Autumn Arbor Day and all
persons connected with the school
are urged to observe the day by
the planting of trees, by the stu.
dy of birds and by other suitable
exercises.

WE'LL BALANCED FLEET
is A PRIME NECESSITY

Washington, Dec. 15.-Secretary
Daniels, in an elaborate statement
regarding submarines submitted to
the House, expressed the conclusion
that an adequate number of sub
marines must be included in any we'll
balanced project of new construc-
ton, but that they have not demon
strated that they possess a preponder-
ant value over other requisite types.
In this, he added "as in other cases,
the public interests do not permit a
full exposition of the information on
which these conclusions are based. q"
Despite the spectacular operations
of submarines in the European war,
the secretary said, the big batleships
still are the backbone of any navy,
and he pointed out that Great Brit
ain by her fleet of heavy ships COM
mands the seas against all her enc
mics.
Secretary Daniels said it was not
believed the war had demonstrated
that a feet of any single type of YES
sells could be successful against a
properly balanced fleet made up OF
several different types.

events across the Atlantic forced
them to change their position.
One of the last things done by the
committee today was the selection OF
committee of arrangements, which
will select a temporary chairman OF
the convention and name some of its
important temporary committees.
Chairman Hilles is head of the Ar
rangements Committee, and the 9TH
er members are:
Ralph E. Williams, of Oregon
Franklin Murphy, of New Jersey; E.
c. Duncan, of North Carolina; Fred
w. Eastbrook, of New Hampshire;
Fred Stanley of Kansas; Charles b.
Warren, of Michigan; Alvah Martin,
of Virginia; James p. Goodrich, of
Indiana; and John T. Adams, of To-
wa. This committee will meet eth
er in New York or Chicago in few
days to lay out it's preliminary plans
and is expected to have many meet
ings before June.
Chairman Hilles said tonight he
had heard no serious suggestions for
temporary chairman of the conven-
ton, but that there seemed to be SEN
timent among many members to see
whether the winter does not develop
some Republican orator in Congress
who can properly sound the key
note.
Suffragists are Heard.
The committee adopted a resolu-
ton designed to prevent use of prox-
les at future meetings of the commit
tee except when the giver of the
proxy is i'll, out of the city where the
meeting is to be held, or member
from some territory outside the con-
tinental limits of the United States.
This resolution was introduced by
Mr.. Warren, and was said to have
been drawn for it's effect on the COM
mittee next June, when contests will
be taken up.
The committee gave an hour dur
ing the afternoon to proponents and
opponents of woman suffrage. APP
plause and laughter greeted all the
speakers.
DR.. Anna Howard Shaw asked that
the Republican platform of 1916 car
ry plank promising Federal suf.
frage amendment, and Miss Frances
Joliffe, of California, and Mrs. Sara
Bardfield, of Oregon, of the Con
gressional Union for Woman Suffrage
served notice that there were 4,000,'
900 women voters in the West whose
votes were worth getting and could
be had if the Republican party would
put such plank in it's platform. Mrs
A. j. George was spokesman for the
anti-suffragists.

ARTFORD OHIO COUNTY, KY. FRIDAY DECEMBER IT, 1915

Government of the United States can
not be expected to do otherwise than
to demand that the Imperial and Roy
al Government denounce the sinking
of the Anoona as Illegal and indefen-
sible act; that the officer who per-
petrated the deed be punished and
that the reparation by the payment
of an indemnity be made for the cit
liens of the United States who were
killed or injured by the attack on the
vessel.
THE government of the United
States expects that the Austro-Hun-
garian Government approaching the
gravity of the case, will accede to its
demand promptly, and 1t rests this
expectation on the belief that the
Austro- Hungarian Government will
L OF sanction or defend an act which
is condemned by the world as inhu-
name and barbarous, which Is alb
horrent to all civilized nations, and
which has caused the death of inno-
cent American citizens (signed.)
