ARB0R AND
 BIRD DAY
Proclamation by Gov. Hol- comb Fixing Date as
 April 20.

In the stormy tide of human affairs, we are prone to forget how much. we owe to our old Mother. Nature. Her breast 1t is to which we look for nourishmert, and in her beauty we find surcease from troubling. How gratefully, in these days of turmoil we raise our eyes to the immutable hills, how soothingly the soft greens and browns of earth's cloak fold us about, how restfully come the myriad voices that speak in the, soughing of the winds in the pines, the whisper ing of the leaves and the rustling and twittering of the little wild folk of the woods! What a drearyg world it would be shorn of all this beauty! The hand of man has done much to dim this our rightful heritage 1t should be our task increasingly to strive to restore the injury that has been done and to stay that which, else, will sure ly come. That realization of this may be very forcefully brought home to us, the legislature has re- quired the designation of day for it's consid eration, and do, therefore, now name Friday. the twentieth day of April as Arbor and Bird Day. in the hope that then the people of the state, and particularly the pupils in it's schools, will lay aside their wonted tasks for a little, think of the gifts which nature offers to us so freely. and consider whether it be not our
 duty to do all we can to preserve them for future generations.

EMPIRE

A powerful story of the woman re- deemed is unfolded in the Metro mas ter production, "The Waiting Soul' the feature attraction that heads the feature programs today and tomor- row at the Empire theatre. In this powerful master play charming Olga
 PeHova, and an all star cast will be seen. The play is one, that ideally suits Mme- Petrovas ability and the
 entire production has been staged and
 mounted in true Metro style. This feature will surely please and appeal to one and all as throughout the pie
 ture heart interest and thrilling sit Fuations predominate. Francis Bush man and Beverly Bayne. the two most popular stars in the silent drama will
 be seen in the fifteenth chapter of Metro's super serial play. "The Great
 Secret which rounds out the pro- gram for the two days This master
 serial has been voted the peer of them, all and the story unraveled in this semi-mystery play is one that grips and holds attention. Watch for some special feature fotoplays which will soon be shown at this theatre.

 To summarize the general effect of s1The Barrier all the romantic ap- peal of the novel is present and the players are uniformly good.

Bridge Guard at Danbury Is Found
 Lying Unconscious

X Danbury, April 18-Clyde Newton of this city, civilian guard, on duty last night at the railroad bridge near Berkshire railroad junction, was found unconscious 200 feet away from the building when the day guard went to relieve him this morn ing.
 Newton remains unconscious and unable to tell what occurred.
 The ground under the bridge shows evidence of a struggle and a wound on the back of the mans head shows : that he was evidently hit with some object. None of his personal belong ings was taken.
 Until he recovers consciousness, it cannot be told whether he was as- saulted by some unknown persons or fell through the bridge to the ground, 30 feet below.
 People at the nearest farm house, a quarter of a mile away, report find ing evidences of team having been hitched in the vicinity sometime dur ing the night.
