The 50th anniversary of Arbor day,
established by the late ]. Sterling
Morton, once governor OF Nebraska.
has awakened unusual interest
throughout the nation on the sub
ject of tree planting. The ami
versary will occur on the 22nd of
this month and President Harding
has proclaimed it the golden ami
versary.
The establishing of the Nebras-
ka National forest, in Thomas and
Cherry counties, is due indirectly to
the establishment of Arbor day.
Jay Higgins, forest supervisor of the
United States Department of Agri-
culture, Halsey, Neb, advises that
this spring his department will plant
100000 trees in the sand hills ad-
jaccnt to Halsey.
Largest Acreage Yet Planted.
This number of trees will plant
approximately 1000 acres of sand
hills, which is the largest acreage
planted during any previous year
since the establishment of the Ne
braska forest" Mr.. Higgins wrote.

Representative Mclaughlin said
''the proclamation OF the president Is
in direct line with the efforts being
put forth in the interest of conser-

tested keen interest and indicated
quite clearly that he was in full SYM

Faces Crisis
Lloyd George Faces Most Try
ing Situation Of Career Over
Genoa Conference
Policy.
To Ask Confidence Vote

London, April Prime Minister
Lloyd George win face the most try
ing situation in his premiership when
he goes before the house OF COM
mons Monday. He will outline the
main features OF the governments
policy at the coming Genoa confer
ence and will move what is gen.
orally interpreted as a vote OF con-
fidence in the government, or at
least in its Genoa program.
Several times during the war and
since the premier has gone into the
house faced with an unfriendly or
critical faction. Each OF these in
cidcnts seemed to threaten his
career, bu, every time he has ridden
on the crest OF the storm and
emerged with an enhanced reputa-
ton for effective oratory, and politi-
cal strategy. Old parliamentary
hands declare these tactics Of ask
ing for a vote OF confidence are with
out precedent. 1t has been CUSTOM
airy, they say, for the opposition to
propose vote on want OF confi-
dence and when the government is
able to command majority, to sub
stitute an amendment registering
confidence. Tradition has been that
the government assumes it has the
confidence OF the house unless mo-
ton on want OF confidence is
brought forward.
Will Consider Russia.
The crux OF Mondays debate like
ly is to be how far it is proposed to go
toward recognizing the Russian SOW
let government. There is strong
to full recognition among
all parties except the labor party,
and whatever measure of recogni-
ton is approved, there will be strong
insistence that the bolsheviki give
guarantees to observe the amenities
customary among nations and, par
ticularly, recognize the old czarist
debts.
A rather unhappy and embarrass-
ing incident occurred at the end Of
Lloyd Georges last visit to Wales.
A local choir of 100 voices at Cric-
ceth had been organized to give a
concert of Welsh music, in which
the premier takes particular delight.
An announcement was circulated
that the concert would be given Sum-
day night, prior to his departure, in
the Established church which pos
sessed the only organ suitable for
such singing aud the largest seating
Unhappily, the announce
ment was made without permission
of the rector, who thereupon said the
concert would not be given in his
church because it was not in accord
ance with the church's custom.
Hence, the concert was given in the
