The Blue SPRUCE
FOR STATE TREE
Representative MILFORD Days Bill for
Its Adoption Commended by
Local Tree Lover"

: Cedar City seems to have been COM
plimented when our Representative
MILFORD Day introduced the bill to
our state legislature asking for a
state tree, giving as his choice the
Blue Spruce. A number Of our cit
liens have beautified their grounds,
the Tabernacle square included, with
the tree Rep. Day recommended, for
its commercial value, its picturesque
appearance and eternal green, as well
as it's adaptabilty to almost every
part of our state. Arbor Day being
so near, Iron County would do well
to keep apace if not to take the lead
in all of Fair Utah's counties in en-
couraging the planting and caring
for the trees which can be supplied
from our surrounding hills. II would
enhance the economic value and beau
ty Of homesteads, school grounds, side
walks, cemeteries, lanes and would i'm
part to barren badness a woodland
majesty. Thinking of the bastile APP
pearance of the fence around the
cemetery, how wonderfully the scene
could be transformed If band of dig
nified spruces formed a screen around
that wall, standing guard as natures
sacred solemn sentinels.
A fringe OF spruce trees around
the farm, (while not shading the
acreage detrimentally) would shield
from the sun and blast and make the
landscape spot of admiration.
Perhaps someone has thought Of
celebrating Arbor Day at the b. A.
C. by planting tree on honor of every
student who enlisted in our country's
service for the love Of human freedom
How inspiring the ceremonies per-
formed by our returned uniformed
boys and what a story telling grove
for future students. Could a more
lasting or impressive monument be
reared to the memory of those heroes
who will not return, having given
their lives for sacred principles, than
spot in our cemetery dedicated and
planted with the solemn spruces in
honor Of each of those noble soldier
sons.
Our boys and girls may possibly be-
get respect for public property,
love of nature and beauty IL the cul-
tivation is associated with pames and
events living in their memories and
we have proven by our efforts during
the war period that we can give our
time unselfishly to cause. Why
not the communities make Arbar Day
real tree planting day?

The Treasury Department has just
issued the total sales for w. S. S. for

ing fourth in sales per capita, The
average sales for the year was 1864
and Utah has $1l.S5 to her credit
standing seventeenth in the list OF
states.
/ Those who remember the remark,
able campaign Of advertising w. S. s
conducted in the newspapers Of Utaf
during the month of December, will
see wherein advertising pays, espec
