Arbor and Biz pan ProoIamation.-

Arhor and Bird Day Proclamation.
One OF the great and highly i'm
portant lessons the American people
are learning from the war is that Of
conservation. Our resources from the
most humble and insignificant to the
most highly priced and desirable are
coming into their own and are APP
preciated in the ratio Of their value
to mankind. Trees and birds are
surely worthy of a fair share Of our
consideration. We have been prone
to stand complacently by while fires
and milling interests have destroyed
vast sections of our natural forests,
and calmly noted the consequent
disappearance of wild bird and ami
NAL life. Is it because these wonder
ful resources have cost us nothing
that we value them so Ightly2 Pre-
ventive measures have been wholly
inadequate, and there has not been
sufficient concerted action to replace
these losses On our own North Da-
I1ota prairies there is everywhere
evidence of the efforts Of man to sat
isfy his natural longing for the COM
and sheltering protection
of trees, and wherever trees have been
planted and grown up about a farm
stead there is an atmosphere or COM
fort and quietude alike attractive to
the weary individual and merry PIC
nickers seeking pleasure and recrea-
ton. Let us plant more trees and
have more groves and more birds.
II has long been the custom
the entire country to set
aside a day in which to plant trees
and more recently there has been
combined with this the observance Of |
bird day for study and instruction OF /
the WAYS and. habits Of birds. The |
second Fridaxein April is the day |
most commonly observed, and this
year by reason of favorable climatic /
conditions generally 1t is practicable
for North Dakota to assist in maxi
ing the observance OF this date ma
tion-wide. 1t is therefore hereby
that Friday, April IL, be
observed as Arbor and Bird day, and
/ wish to impress upon all the inn
portance of planting trees and study
ing birds, seeking to teach every

NORTH DAKOTA
LEADS union
State Has Most Subscrip-
tions to Red Cross Maya
zine on Population

A map showing the circulation of
the Red Cross magazine by states,
just received at the Cass county
headquarters, indicates that on a
population basis North Dakota has
more subscriptions than any other
commonwealth in the union. Every
month 27,2S8 prepaid Red Cross
magazines come to North Dakota,
as compared with 20,761 in Min
nesota, 1864 to South Dakota, g.
902 for Montana, s,2S5 TO Washing
ton, 1856 TO oregon. 3,047 to Idaho
and 2,475 to Wyoming. Not one Of
the southern states shows as many
subscriptions as North Dakota.
Texas, our nearest competitor, re-
ceives 23,7SS Red Cross magazines.
LOOT. 1t must be remembered, too,
that in practically every southern
state are located great environments
and training camps which would
naturally tend to increase the num-
Der of subscriptions to the Red
Cross magazine North Dakota is
ahead of such stalwart states as
Indiana, Kentucky and Tennessee end
is only very few thousand behind
the great states OF Missouri, Kansas
and Nebraska. and issahead of every
other state west Of the Mississippi
with the exception OF Iowa and
California.
The Red Cross magazine is owned
by the American Red Cross and
any profit goes to the Red Cross. The
present circulation is around 2,000,-
900, and the management hopes to
return a net profit of 800, 600 a year
on its business.

ACREAGE AROUND MOTT
SANE AS LAST SPRING

Mott. n. D., April 9.-Reports being
received here indicate that conditions
never have been better at this time Of
the year for seeding. The recent
SHOWS melted slowly. letting the
moisture soak in and leaving the
ground in excellent condition. The
acreage to be sown this spring win
be about the same as last year.
Practically the entire amount of
$4,000 derived from the Hestinger
county bond issue will be used by the
farmers in purchasing seed and feed,
which is evidence here that the farm
ers are planning to sow to the limit.
