GOVERNOR DESlGNATES APRIL
"a, ~ 23 AS ARROR DAY. e.

| @4 Eo 40 AH6Oh OAT.
Governor Clarke issued a procla-
nation last week designating Friday,
April %, as Arbor Day. The proc
lamation follows: ;
1T is 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 re-
through a stretch of woods. The
majesty, the strength. the beauty,
the silence of the woods respond to
something in the very depths of US.
The owners Of fine woods ought to
use them as to preserve them. The
state ought to be interested in some
fine state parks. The day of her
opp ortunity is going by. A tree
ought to be regarded as sacred.
Out OF the future will come the
voice Of Iowa crying, why did the
men of the earlier day allow every
thing primeval to be swept away,
why did they make no provisions
for a greater, larger, finer life, why
were they without vision, why were
they thoughtless of the future?
1T is custom to set apart
day called Arbor day, and in &C.
cordance with this custom I do here
by designate Friday, April %, 1915,
as such day and recommend that it
be observed in the schools Of the
state, by women's clubs and in such
other ways as the people may deem
advisable and convenient, and that
on Sunday, April Is, the ministers Of
the sta speak to the people about
obligation to the future as herein
suggested, to the end that Arbor day
may have a. real significance. That
the same thought have pre-eminence
in the schools, that the children be
taught the value and beauty Of trees,
that trees be planted, especially in
the country and .at points where
it can be seen how much beauty a
great tree fifty years hence will add
to the landscape."

MRS, ELLEN ANDERSON.

Ellen Hanson was born at Stock
holm, Sweden, September IL, 1925,
and died in Lamont, Iowa, April 8,
1915, at the age Of 80 years, 6
months and 2S days. Her girlhood
and young womanhood were spent
in Sweden. There on June 12, 1858,
she was united in marriage to Au-
gust Anderson and they came di-
rectly to the United States. The
voyage was made in sailing vessel
and was very tedious. 1t took
eleven weeks and the passengers and
crew suffered very much because of
an epidemic of cholera broke out
causing the death of a number of
passengers. The first two years
in this new country were spent in
Indiana. Then for eleven years
they lived in Dubuque, Iowa. In
1856 they settled on a farm near
Lamont, Iowa, which continued to be
their home until age comp pelled them
to quit the hard work of the farm
and they moved into Lamont to
spend their remaining years. The
fiftieth anniversary Of their wedding
had but recently passed, when, on
December 8, 1908, Mr.. Anderson
passed away. Three children were
born to them all of whom survive
them. They are, Gus of Marble
Rock, Iowa; Frank of Riverside, Cal
ifornia; and Mrs. Emma Flancher,
who has tenderly cared for her in
her home during her last years.
Mrs. Anderson was brought up in
the Swedish Lutheran church, but
under the pastorate of the Rev. Jas.
J. Kidder she and her husband uni
ted with the Methodist Episcopal
church in Lamont. They joined on
February IA, 1892, and
were received into full connection
4, of that year. Through
out life they remained true to God
and the church Of their choice. When
she was able, Mrs. Anderson was an
earnest worker in the Ladies' Aid
society.
Thus has passed from us an old
settler, a good neighbor, a loyal, kind
riend and loving wife and mother.
The funeral services were held
It the home of her daughter, con-
lucted by her pastor, Rev. S. c.
3retnall and her body was laid be-
tide that of her husband in the
Campton cemetery to await the gen.
.ral resurrection

WEATHER CROP BULLETIN.


For the Week Ending April II, s115.
Des Moines, Iowa.
Fay orable conditions prevailed dur
ing the winter, and while the season
opens a few days later than usual
the prospects at present are prom
Using for good crop year. The mean
temp erature for the five months, No
vember, 1914, to March, 1915, in
elusive, was 26.5 degrees, or IL de-
grees above the normal for the
state, and 81 degrees colder than
the same period in the winter of 1913
and 1914. There was considerable
more than the normal amount of,
precipitation, rain and melted snow,
and 10.7 inches more than the nor
NAL amount of unmelted snow
March was cold and dry, but there
was an excess of snowfall. Freezing
temperatures occurred nearly every
night, which prevented any field
work being done, except in the
southern counties. April opened cold
and dry, but more favorable condi-
tions have prevailed during the last
week. The temperature was much
higher and showers were general on
Thursday and Friday. Farm work
was rushed and the seeding Of small
grain is practically finished In the
southern counties and. is we'll ad-
vanced in northern sections except
in the north-central district, where
the ground is still to wet. The,
acreage of barley and spring wheat
will. probably be increased, with
about the normal area Of oats.sa., Clio
yer, grass and fa1lsown grains SUI
Tered but little or no fda1nage dufIng
the winter, and are now in excellent
condition generally. There will be a
arge acreage seeded to alfalfa this
spring. All kinds of live stock came
through the winter in fairly good
hape, but the supply of feed is get
ing short in many localities. The
pring pig crop Is promising and will
10 larger than last year. Fruits are
till dormant and show no signs of
