Nebraska City, Neb., April 1.1.
Arbor day originated in Nebraska in
1872. The late J. Sterling Morton, of
Nebraska City, is known through the
nation as the father of Arbor day.
Back in the early seventies he pre
vailed upon the state to set aside a
day for tree planting. In 1893 Mr.
Morton was called by President Cleve
land to his cabinet and made secre
tary of agriculture. During the four
years of his incumbency he accom
plished much in the development of
forestry, not the least part of which

that newspapers help insofar as they
can with local campaigning.

The serate members of the confer

it is not intoxicating, while the house
