State Honors Arbor Day
Instituted By Nebraskan
Nearly All States in the Union Follow "Nebraskas Own
Holiday First Called by J. Sterling Morton in 1872
Banks and Public Buildings Closed.

Yesterday was Arbor day, set
aside as legal holiday by act of the
Nebraska legislature. 1t was me
braska's own holiday" because it
was instituted by ]. Sterling Nor
ton. Nebraska pioneer and at one
time United States secretary of
agriculture.
Mr.. Morton's home in Nebraska
City was called Arbor Lodge. In
1872 the custom of planting trees
and shrubs on a certain designated
day of the year was instituted, prin-
cipally through the efforts of Mr..
Morton.
Other states followed until now
nearly all the states have Arbor
days. The date varies in different
states but most of them observe
some definite day in the latter part
of April or early part of May. In
some states it is legal holiday and
in others it Is not.
All banks, the court house, city
hall, federal building and public Ii
brary we're closed. In the after

exercises. Teachers read and relat-

PLEbISC|TE ON
PEACE TERMS IS
Plan OF ENEMY
Refusal to Accept Treaty Is
Expected If Negotiations
On Terms Is Denied By
Allied Mission,

Berlin. April 22.-(By The Asso-
ciated Press.)-Appurtenances for
an election are all in readiness for
IN immediate plebiscite on the peace
terms, according to information OBJ
tanned from sources close to the gov
eminent.
Preparations have been going on
secretly for several days, it is de-
clared, and If the terms are pub
lished one morning the referendum
can be taken the next day and the
answer can 60 to the entente 48
hours later. It is asserted that the
only probable chance of an affirma-
tive answer would be in case there
is an agreement to negotiate details
OF the terms. Thus, if an indemnity
is fixed, Germany cannot hope to
dispute the total but must be al
lowed to send experts to discuss
ways and means of payment, it is
said.
1t Is declared that the cabinet
wishes to avoid the responsibility of
either refusing or accepting the
terms.
Therefore, a plebiscite is almost
certain. It is believed that the re-
suit will be 4 refusal to accept the
peace terms because the people will
overlook the consequences of such
an act--the maintenance Of the
blockade, the stoppage of food i'm
portations and the accompanying
evils which may be expected-in
view Of their reluctance to sanction
harsh terms. 1t is asserted that an
agreement to negotiate the details of
the treaty is absolutely the only
basis upon which Germany in her
present mood will vote in the at

ground, moistened by plenty OF rain,
is in excellent condition for arbori-
culture and the promise of a wet
spring and summer makes this a
favorable year to get the young trees
started.
The day was oveYshadowed, how
ever, by the Victory Liberty loan
activities. The fact that it was a
holiday brought out the workers for
the loan in bigger numbers than
ever.
THE day was instituted" District
Judge Day pointed out, when Ne
braska was just emerging from the
great American desert" idea. The
plains of our state were absolutely
treeless. All that has been changed,
largely as result of Arbor day. To-
day you can't look far across those
pains without seeing luxuriant
groves Of trees. They line the banks
of all the streams. They are very
largely responsible for our wonder
full climate and bountiful crops.
"We have plenty of trees now. In
fact, had to cut down two big ones
on my own property this spring."

POOR ROADS HERE ARE CAUSE OF WONDER ID FORMER PHOENIX MAN

Vincent Woodbury, brother of Clar- ence Woodbury. arrived in the city yesterday for a stay of two or three days. He is a resident of Timmins Province of Ontario. This is not his first visit to Phoenix, though his form CT one was so long ago. r years, that he saw little in the town of today that was here then.
 Mir. Woodbury is enthusiastic over the climate of the Salt River valley but he was able to control, restrain and hold in check his enthusiasm regarding the roads out of the city. In his own country where there are only four sum- mer months the people think they have a fine time automobiling, and they do, after a fashion. for they have good roads there. In climate such as this, year round automobile climate, it is past his understanding that the people should be content with such roads.
 It is not good business. he said, to neglect the roads, as forward-looking communities have found out. They build up themselves by first building their roads. It is road building that has made California what it is. the playground of the United States. If Phoenix radiated with good roads through a country that seems to have been made for automobiling. it would attract many thousands of people who will never come here.
 MT. Woodbury has written exten- sively for magazines and newspapers in this country and Canada, and his sub- jects have ranged from descriptions of the north and of Mexico to observa- tions on current topics. During the war he wrote a stirring appeal to Americanism which was widely copied
 Timmins, where he lives, is in the vicinity of the Porcupine mine, one of the great gold producers of the world.
