ARBOR DAY PROCLAMATION

Trees, flowers, shrubs and vines make more
beautiful the home, the school, the city and the
country. Regardless of how expensive the struc-
ture, the home atmosphere is absent where there
are no trees. A treeless landscape is uninviting
and presents the appearance of solitude. Its chief
charm is lacking.
Nature has been generous with Wyoming. With
a lavish hand it has filed our great state with mar
Vicious beauty. We can enhance this beauty by
planting trees.
Trees are not only beautiful, but are of great
economic value. They are disappearing about four
times as rapidly as young forests are growing, and
of course, increase IN value as our population IN
creases and our forests are diminished. Our noun
tain forests are among the great natural resources
of Wyoming. They are being destroyed to an alarm
ing extent by forest fires caused by negligence.
Every effort should be made to stop this waste.
Therefore,, 1, William B. Ross, Governor of the
State Of Wyoming, in pursuance of the law and by
virtue of the authority in me vested, do hereby
designate and proclaim

their customary work on this day for the planting
Of trees, flowers and shrubbery, and that they hold

of Wyoming to be affixed.

The overwhelming majority given to the Adjusted Com

last week is a source of satisfaction to every ex-service man
in the country.
This measure as passed by the House and Senate provides
an insurance feature for all ex-service men but does not pro-

Among those senators who supported the present bill but
who have always consistently opposed a cash bonus was Sen

Engineer Nelson Says Absecon
Boulevard Bids Will be for
Concrete Base, Asphalt Surface
AID FROM STATE EXPECTED

County Engineer A. H. Nelson this
week issued a statement in which he
SAYS it is the intention of the chair
man of the Road Committee to recon-
mend to the Board of Freeholders that
the Absecon boulevard be paved with
concrete base and asphalt top. Mr..
Nelson's statement in full follows:
Chairman of the Road Committee
John B. Tomlin, who has, during the
last week. had extended conferences
with men who are closely associated
with the State Highway Commission
and from whom he has gotten practi-
cal assurance that the Commission is
sufficiently interested in repaving Of
the Absecon boulevard, because of the
national character of the traffic over
it.. to substantially aid the County in
the reconstruction provided neither a
patented pavement nor asphalt block
is used in the work. has announced
that he will recommend to the Road
Committee that the plans and specif-
cations for this reconstruction be
drawn TO call for paving with concrete
base and asphalt top, and that, as soon
as they are completed and adopted by
the County, they be submitted to the
State Highway Commission for APPROX
al and cooperation by allotting sub
stantial aid from current motor vehicle
funds.
Tomlin's Conclusion.
Chairman Temlin has arrived at
the same conclusion from conferences
with the larger property owners OF
Atlantic City, and there now seems tc
be no doubt that If the State Highway
Commission will cooperate the recon
%struction of the Absecon boulevard
will be speedily accomplished with the
above materials. This concession or
the part of the Board of Freeholders
will be appreciated because of their
confirmed belief that a roadway of the
importance of the Absecon boulevard
should have the very best kind oil
asphalt construction, which is conced
ed by experts with whom they have
conferred TO be asphalt block, and the
determining feature in the situation is
the substantial aid which is expected
and which, the chairman believes,
should not be rejected, eel though it
involves, in the opinion of the Board
OF Chosen FTeehOideTs. the use OF a
material which does not meet their
fullest approval. 1t is understood that
the director OF the Board. F. F. Dough
ty, coneurs in this conclusion OF Chair

Sunday School Lesson

makes Adam Bede say: There is. n
sort of damage, sir. that can't be
made up for.'' There is no better
example in all literature of true re-
pentance than that OF David. During
the balance Of his life the king walk
ed humbly before God chastened and
corrected. He showed his manhood
by confessing that he had sinned
against God. He reaped what he
sowed in his own family. His ia
vorite son sought to take the king
dom from him. Envy. jealousy. lust:
murder compose the vile nest Of
crimes" that followed his double sin
with reference to Bathsheba- f.
There Is source Of encourage
ment TO all in his life. 1t teaches
us that the only way for a troubled
,oul to obtain peace Is through the
cleansing blood Of Christ Jesus. David
found peace in the same way that
every sinner can find 1t, by turning
to God in sorrow for the sins OF life.
confessing to Him the fact and
seeking forgiveness in the merits
and grace of the Lord Jesus. His
career reveals the advancement OF
the human race. While sin remains
the same, we would condemn much In
his life that ne did not see from our
not yet come with His revelations
that assure every penftent sinner
Of salvation and peace, JUST as David
found 1t, although there Is evidently
from the present day conception; Of
life much in his career that he did
not look upon as sins. Let us follow
him In trying to do Gods will in all
things David would not have failed
had he always tried to do His will.

BOOKS ON RELIGIOUS 3
SUBJECTS IN DEMAND
Wider Popular Interest in Church
Issues Noted in Libraries
and Stores.

NEW YORK March 15.--"More re-
ligious books are being read by
Americans now than for a generation
past" according to an article in The
Continent. More standard publishing
houses are issuing religious books,
and these are appearing in larger
editions. More people in public libra
ries are calling for religious books
than ever before in our time. In fact,
we are as never before a nation of
readers of religious books. a
"An increased desire on the part of
ministers to do their work as well
as II can be done is given credit for
some OF the present quantity sales of
religious books. This has produced
some demand for commentaries and
other direct homi1eticaI helps, but es-
pecially has it called for practical
works on the pastoral phases of the
minister's activities. Similarly, the
improved organization of the program
churches has increased the writing
and the sale of books telling how
work has been carried on in church
and community schools, and also of
books tending directly to inform the
minds OF religious educators on peda-
gogical bases and methods.
Not only are we reading more re-
ligious books now, but we are reading
different sort of religious book.
While the old-time favorites continue
to have their appeal, the books now
most In demand include such general
topics as the following. Books of re-
Hgious controversy, works of assur-
ance and Inspiration and books in
general emphasizing the firm bases of
faith"

ing and Thursday-Entails
Giving to Needy.

The feast Of Purim, falling due
next Wednesday evening, will be cell
ebrated in Jewish homes or social
centers connected with large syna-
gogues that evening. and possibly in
some cases in the synagogue itself
Thursday morning. While II is a
minor holiday. Purim has a tenacious
hold on the affections of the Jewish
people, who have observed it annually
in various ways in different countries
for many centuries and still continue
events described in the book of Esther.
The ritual ceremony connected with
Purim Is extremely meager. Apart
from reading the book of Esther in
part, or completely, there is no dis
'lnct ritualistfc commandment that
must be fulfilled on this day. But
the reading is enjoined on women,
read in any language understood by
the congregation. Yet part Of the
book is % be read.
The brief ceremony connected with
Purim does not complete the features
associated with it's celebration. It
has been used as an occasion for fes-
ttvity and for giving charity. On the
strength of the sentence in the text
en5oinfng sending of gifts and por-
tions to the needy" it has become the
practice in all countries of the Dias-
pora to send dainties to those in want
and to make collections for the needy.
These donations were distributed
without discrimination. Even the
non-Jew might receive a gift II he
were willing to accept II. The prac-
tice of giving is still retained, it be-
ing no uncommon thing for specially
prepared cakes and food to be cx-
changed among friends and kinsmen.
