TREES PLANTED ARBOR DAY GROUNDS AT PUBLIC LIBRARY DECORATED Ceremonies Attend Planting of Camphor Tree Preceding Literary Exercises—Prof. Topel Delivers Interesting Address—Boys and Girls Use Spade—Songs by the Children Arbor Day was celebrated with appropriate exercises at the public library grounds on Friday afternoon. A number of ornamental trees were planted on the grounds in the morning, and in the afternoon an attendance which made up in enthusiasm what it lacked in numbers gathered to hear the literary exercises of the day. While in former years school children took prominent part in Arbor Day festivities, they were this year conspicuous by their absence, only a few classes, which were on the program to sing, being present. At 2:30 o'clock Prof. Mills, chairman of the chamber of commerce, who had prepared the ground, gone for the trees and planted them in the morning, announced as master of ceremonies, that the literary exercises of the afternoon would be preceded by planting a camphor tree south of the library, and asked the crowd to repair thither. "We are going to plant the tree with a can on," said the professor, who knows a thing or two about trees. The tree reposed on a can, the bottom taken out, just as it was brought from the nursery. "The idea of this can is to make the roots of the tree go down into the out of the wall. But Solomon was something of a vandal and forests, for his 4000 hewers not havoc among those beautiful." "We are told that now there no cedars on Mt. Lebanon, and in the sixth century Justinian not find enough timber there—a single church. When Isala thundering his fearful prophecy against the Assyrians, he said trees of thy forests shall be save a few and a little child count them." "Some of the strongest men in the scriptures are drawn for trees 'The wicked spreadeth like a green bay tree.' 'As the falleth so shall it lie.' 'A good bringeth forth good fruit.'" "Where could we find another pression for 'The tree of liberty is said to is best when nourished by thy of tyrants.'" "One of the greatest debts owe, is a debt to our ancestors the beautiful and useful trees planted. There is only one way we can discharge that debt, that is by planting trees for who come after us. Let us dis that debt to posterity by putting the most beautiful and useful to be obtained. "The history of Arbor Day from the fourth day of January On that date the Hon. J. S. Morton introduced a resolution annual meeting of the Nebraska board of agriculture, that W day, April 10, 1872, should apart and consecrated for tree ing in the state of Nebraska that that day be annually obey as Arbor day in that state. The olution carried a clause approp by planting a camphor tree south of the library, and asked the crowd to repair thither. "We are going to plant the tree with a can on," said the professor, who knows a thing or two about trees. The tree reposed on a can, the bottom taken out, just as it was brought from the nursery. "The idea of this can is to make the roots of the tree go down into the ground instead of branching out in all directions, uplifting the sidewalks and lawns, as you occasionally see. Camphor trees are the most beautiful trees in California. They should have twenty or thirty feet of space to grow in, and will not do well with less. The reason so many camphor trees are not making good about town is that they haven't room enough to grow in, and are also trimmed back for electric wires. "I want you high school boys to plant this tree," he continued, addressing a number of sturdy youngsters, "and I want you to see that it keeps growing in the time to come." The hole prepared for the tree was deepened, the tree adjusted and earth filled in, each student putting in a shovelful. Librarian Armstrong turned on the water, and with a hose Prof. Mills wet down the soft ground about the tree. High school girls asked for the shovel and each in turn took real part in planting the tree. The assemblage was invited into the library, where, on account of a parsimonious public, it had to stand, there being few if any chairs. School children under leadership of Miss Ames sang appropriate songs, and Miss Lillian Clabaugh recited, "Historic Trees." Prof. Topel was introduced and delivered a stirring address, speaking in part as follows: "Ladies and Fellow Citizens of Anaheim:—We have read and heard much of late concerning our civic duties growing out of the great and important movement for the conservation of our natural resources. "The way in which we can make the best practical application of the conservation idea in Anahiem Dale from the fourth day of January On that date the Hon. J. S. Morton introduced a resolution annual meeting of the Nebraska board of agriculture, that W. day, April 10, 1872, should be apart and consecrated for tree ing in the state of Nebraska that day be annually obey as Arbor day in that state. The olution carried a clause appropi one hundred dollars to the ar tural society of that county o r raska which shall properly pla that day the greatest numb trees; and a farmer library of ty-five dollars worth of book that person who on that day plant properly in Nebraska the greatest number of trees. "The resolution was unanim adopted. The newspapers of state were requested to keep matter constantly before the of the people until the appointed and the result was the planting over one million trees in Nebra that first Arbor day. "From this beginning on that tern prairie the movement has s over the whole country from th e lantic to the Pacific.

"The way in which we can make the best practical application of the conservation idea is Arbor Day. If we so desire, we may make use of this day to carry a patriotic spirit to the young people now in our charge; a spirit that will be the strength and safeguard of our state and nation in the years to come. "On the third day of creation God made the trees. Out of the ground he made to grow every tree that is pleasant to the sight and good for food. The tree of life also in the midst of the garden, and the tree of knowledge, of good and evil. "Sacred history abounds in the actable mention of trees, beginning with, as Milton says: "The first of that forbidden tree, whose mortal taste brought death unto the world and all our woe." "The tree of life seems to have been a plant from the heavenly gardens, for in St. John's vision he saw a river of water clear as crystal proceeding from the throne of God, and near by was the tree of life, which bore twelve manner of fruits, and the leaves of that tree were for the healing of nations. "Solomon in his wisdom, spoke of all the trees from the cedars of Lebanon to the hyssop that springeth..." TREES ON COUNTY ROADS Provisions of New Law Enacted at Last Session of Legislature Governor Gillett has signed senate bill No. 1219 relating to the planting, care and protection of shade trees along county roads. This bill is really an extension of the tree warden idea to counties as well as municipalities. The provisions of the law will make possible the planting and care of shade trees along important county roads; and if counties where the sentiment for improvement is strong, will avail themselves of it, a wonderful improvement in our shadeless and dusty county roads will be possible. This law supplements admirably the movement for good roads and helps make possible the beautification and shading of the boulevards after they are built. The law provides that the board of supervisors in each and every county or city and county of the state of California may, in its discretion, appoint a county board of forestry, who shall serve without compensation, and who shall have exclusive charge and control of all shade and ornamental trees, hedges, lawns, shrubs and flowers growing or to be grown upon the public roads, highways, grounds and property within its respective county. Whenever the board of supervisors of any county or city and county in this state shall, by resolution or ordinance, elect to avail itself of the provisions of this act, such board shall, within two months thereafter, appoint five suitable and competent persons, one from each supervisorial district of such county or city and county, as a county board of forest- penses of said board in the out of the provisions of the policy and purposes vided. Boards of supervisors, the provisions of this act of shall appropriate money use of said county board sufficient to pay the compass said county forester and necessary expenses of said county of forestry.

HUMAN EVERGREENS Famous Examples of Women Whose Charms Defied Years "Evergreens" are women who have retained their charm until long past the period of life when most of their sisters have slumped into middle or old age. An Englishwoman, the Hon. Mrs. Fitzroy Stewart, writing in the Strand, says that American women make good evergreens. "They play the game of youth," she says, "with splendid success. AngloAmerican marriages became the mode in the 70s, and several ladies 'who crossed the pond' in those far off days have kept ever young and remained social queens for two generations. "Among these are Consuelo, Duchess of Manchester; the Hon. Lady Carrington, Lady Molesworth, Lady Paget and Mrs. Cornwallis–West. Queen Alexandra is the best instance of a lady long past her prime who has kept much of her beauty, grace and youthful fascination. Age is an open secret with royal personages, and most people know that Britain's queen will reach 64 on the 1st of next December. "Yet her features remain perfect; she is still slender in figure, is bright and alert and keeps as keen as ever on many interests and amusements. She is still a good walker, can drive her own motor, is a regular opera-goer, attends balls and parties and is always dressed to perfection." Among famous evergreens of other days were Cleopatra, who was 41 when Anthony fell in love with her; Mme. Recamier, who was 70 when Horace Walpole declared himself among her warmest admirers, and the French actress Dejazet was gay and graceful at the same age. But the most extraor- AGE IN PEACHES FIGURES 72,-LEADING COUNTIES IN ACREAGE ARE AS FOLLOWS: 15,760 7,700 6,320 5,560 3,750 2,450 2,345 2,200 2,200 PRUNES THE TOTAL ACREAGE THE LEADING COUNTIES ARE AS AGE IN APPICOTS IS GIVEN AS THE LEADING COUNTIES ARE AS AGE IN APPLES IS GIVEN AS 20,-LEADING COUNTIES ARE AS FOLLOWS: 7,000 2,800 1,450 760 560 550 IS STILL A GOOD WALKER, CAN DRIVE HER OWN MOTOR, IS A REGULAR OPERA-GOER, ATTENDS BALLS AND PARTIES AND IS ALWAYS DRESSED TO PERFECTION.

RECAMIER, WHO WAS 70 WHEN HORACE WAIPOLE DECLARED HIMSELF AMONG HER WARMEST ADMINERS, AND THE French ACTRESS DEJAZET WAS GAY AND GRACEOUL AT THE SAME AGE. BUT THE MOST EXTRAORDINARY EXAMPLE OF A WOMAN KEEPING HER CHARMS AGAINST THE ADVANCE OF TIME IS AFFORDED BY NINON DE l'Enclos, WHO KEPT HER RADIANT BEAUTY AFTER REACHING THE AGE OF 90. H. V.
