Nature Study Notes.


A few far sighted persons saw that
with rapid development of our country,
it was necessary to have one day of
each year set apart as day for tree
planting, throughout the states. The
first Arbor Day known was April 10,
1872, when the people of Nebraska
started a movement which spread to
every state in the union. Kansas was
one of the first to follow Nebraska in
this movement. 1t was not until 1888
that Arbor Day was associated with the
schools. Different states observe the
day at different times, some in the fall
and others in the spring, depending
largely on the most suitable time for
transplanting.
There are several reasons why trees
die in transplanting. They are as fol-
lows: The loss of the principal part of
the root-system when taken up, expos
ure before planting, failure to pack soil
tightly about the roots and by being
planted in wet soil.
Trees furnish great variety of mis-
cellaneous useful products such as
fruits, nuts, sugar, honey, tannin,
pitch, turpentine, dyes and medicines.
Next to our daily food, wood is the
most useful single product in the world
1t is indispensable to our comfort, con-
venience and happiness.
The purpose of bird study is to estab-
lish a loving sympathy with birds. A
sympathy which shall lead children to
observe birds and make friends with
them, because they are worth having
around.
Trees furnish shelter and natural
resting places for birds. Birds are our
best allies in fighting insects, but the
removal of-our forests has greatly less
ened the number of insect eating birds.
Thus our insect enemies are increasing
because, our birds are becoming scarce.
A quail is estimated to be worth
$19.88 a year for the cut worms which
it destroys Just consider that the
meadow lark obtains SO per cent of his
food from insects, mostly grass-hop-
pers. Does he injure or benefit clover
field?
Is there anything you would rather
have in your garden than native song
birds? You can have them if you put
out bird houses. Winter is the best
time to set them out as birds like places
bit weatherworn.
An illustrated book of bird boxes may
be had by writing to Joseph H. Dodson,

TO 20 on without interruption
The Acquinine Club bears an enviable
reputation in the City of Brotherly
Love. They are considered as formid-
able an adversary as some of the Fast
ern League teams. They won the in
dependent championship of Philadelphia
and vicinity last year when they defeat
ed the Nincome Club. The Nincome
Club. il will be remembered, conquered
the Brownson five last year in a fast
and exciting game incidentally. Vim

BroWnSon-Acquinine Meet
tonight in The Cage Game

Having mystifed their opponents
last Friday evening by their dazzling
and scintillating playing, the Brown
son basketball magicians will endeavor
to exercise their hypnotic power TO-
night over the potent aggregation of
stars representing the Acquinine Club
OF Philadelphia. The local wizards of
the cage are fully cognizant of the
task which awaits them, but with Di-
rector Mulvena always optimistic. the
players will appear in the coming per
formance imbued WITH the spirit of
self-confidence.
The management appreciates that
unless new tricks are performed the
game Is likely to resolve itself into a
monotony, and with such thought in
mind and the desire TO give the faith
ful basketball fans of this city moth
ing but first class attractions, Null
vena has been rehearsing his players
during the past week and Is satisfied
that no stronger opponent could be
gotten than the Acquinine Club, ex-
cepting possibly Eastern League
teams
Joe Haney will give an exhibition
OF disappearing with the sphere from
the extreme end of the cage and re-
appearing at the other end with the
ball half way to the basket for a few
of the many points he anticipates
making In this way.
Mark McDonough will appear in a
forward role. and will show to the
loyal followers of Brownson a few ex-
ceptional stunts in the art of dribbling
and caging the bouncing sphere from
difficult angles Charlie McDonough's
part will be the center of attraction.
This versatile player will delight the
bleacherites in mystic jumping and
passing as well as rendering valua-
able assistance to his brother and Joe
Haney.
Larry Rigney and Joe Lacy will be
the other men of mystery. These two
star guards will attempt to hypnotic
the goal shooting faculties of the Acqui-
nine forwards so that when the perform
ance is over il will be a complete sue
cess from the Brownson standpoint. In
case the unexpected should happen,
Doc Dougherty will be on hand to
take the place of any of the Brownson
performers so that the show will be able

STUDY CENTER SUCCESSFUL.
Two Faculty Members Of Iowa State
Teachers College Address Teachers.


Forty rural teachers of Marshall
county were present at the study CEN
ter held under the auspices OF the
County Teachers Association, In the
high school building Saturday. The
program consisted Of two addresses,
one by Prof. H. C. Cummins, on Farm
Arithmetic" and the other on Primary
Reading and Language" by Miss Flor
ence E. Ward. Both Professor Cummins
and Miss Ward are members Of the
faculty of the Iowa State Teachers
College at Cedar Falls. Because of the
impossible condition Of the roads, the
attendance was not as large as ex-
pected.
Professor Cummins dwelt upon the
Importance of teaching farm arithmetic
to the farmers children in the schools,
in order that the parents might profit
by the instruction. Very few farmers
keep accounts. and yet it is one of the
most essential thing in successful farm
ingl Miss Ward spoke on the teaching
of reading and language to, the primary
grades, and emphasized the fact that
reading did not alone mean learning to
recognize printed words, but carried
with 1t the idea of the meaning and in
depreciation of the words.
