Arbor Day is Nebraska's Own Original Holiday Created in 1872 to Honor the Work of J. Sterling Morton in De veloping Forestry. April 22nd stands out as Nebras ka's own holiday, a tribute to the life and service of J. Sterling Mor ton and the pioneers of Nebraska who by their tree planting and horti culture work in the territorial days made possible the splendid foresta- tion that now exists in the state. Mr. Morten at his estate at Ne braska City, Arbor Lodge, set the example to the first settlers of the territory by setting out fruit trees, shade trees and many varieties of trees not native to the state which might be developed into use to the settlers of the new state. The movement was adopted by the early settlers in this section of Ne braska and trees if all varieties suit able to the climate of the state were soon planted, the small groves around the honie3 as shade and windbreaks in the early days. In 1872 the state of Nebraska took formal recognition of the splendid work of Mr. Morton by setting aside April 22nd of each year to be known as Arbor Day, an occasion when the people of the state were urged to set out and plant trees, plants and shrubs for the beautification of the state and to insure a proper amount of forestry in this section of the west. Arbor Day is recognized now in many of the states of the union, al tho they have varying dates accord ing to the locations of the state as to the planting season. The passing of the holiday here to day was marked by many planting trees as the originator of the day had urged, but no formal public observ ance was made of the event. The banks and part of the county offices were closed in honor of the holiday, however. NORFOLK MAN DISAPPEARS Norfolk, Neb. Police have been enlisted in an attempt to pierce the veil of mystery that surrounds the disappearance of William Druck, about 28, prominent young Norfolk ian, who has been missing since Mon day night, Chief of Police Profahl announced. Relatives of Druck fear the young man has met with foul play and hiSr-aunt, Mrs. Ed Zellner, Norfolk, has expressed the opinion that he may have been kidnaped. Druck, who made his home with his brother, Otto Druck, Norfolk, left that place Monday evening telling the family he planned to go to the city council meeting at the city hall. He did not appear there, however, and since leaving his home has not been seen. Chief Pofahl stated. Mystery surrounding his disap pearance has been increased by the fact that he apparently took no money or clothes with him. BLAMES SOLONS FOE BACKET Washington. Asserting the use of the congressional record by sen ators and representatives to "extend their remarks for local consumption" was a "fraud and a racket," Repre senative Cannon said he would in troduce a bill to reduce the number of copies given each member fo con gress.

With eyes all alert and ears ever keen To catch the first note of alarm; Or to "drop at heel," and wait, I ween, For a sign or a sound of harm. With never a growl or a men acing word, Standing by for an S. O. S., Till a move and a jump means he has heard My whispered release of a "Yes." Then we wander afar through the wood and hill Take a rest at the close of the day; Unpack our duffel, eat our fill, And "chase dull care away." A pipe, a "drag," then sweet repose t -; J $9 A sound sleep through the night; Greet at dawn the sun's first glow of rose Truly a glorious, welcome sight, A dip in the stream, a bite to cat, Pack up, and thu3 on we go. To find in Nature's vast re treat Her vernal beauty, all aglow. With head bowed down, a con trite heart, A soul alive with praise, Breathe a silent tribute, ere we part, To her grand and marvelous ways. With kindlier feelings stirred to zeal, And love toward my fellow men, My homeward , footsteps wake the feel That I'll take that tramp again. "K" EETUER3 PRQM IOWA From Saturday's Dally Rev.
