Arbor Day Proclamation.
Governor Aldrich has issued a proc
lamation calling attention to the fact
that Arbor day is a legal holiday in
Nebraska and that the day should be
fittingly observed. April 22 is the day
designated by statute as Arbor day
and Nebraska was the first state in
the union to pass an act declaring it
a legal holiday. The governor's proc
lamation is as follows :
"The return of spring reminds us
that a holiday of special interest to
Nebraska is approaching and citizens
of the state should see to it that the
day should be fittingly observed.
"April 22 has been Designated by
law as Arbor day and the fact that its
founder was a distinguished citizen
of this state gives the occasion added
significance.
"Therefore , I , Chester H. Aldrich
governor of the state of Nebraska , in
accordance with the usual custom and
pursuant to the statute in such case
. made and provided , do hereby pro
claim that April 22 be observed
throughout the state as Arbor day
and I suggest that it should be made
an occasion of special observance in
all schools and that the people of the
state generally engage in the planting
of trees , shrubs and vines and such
other undertakings as shall be fitting
with the general character of the oc
casion. "
Practical Fire Dempnstration.
State Fire Warden Charles Randall
gave a demonstration in his office in
the state house of how to carry an
exploded oil lamp out of a room with
out harm to the person or without
setting fire to articles in the room. He
lighted a rolled up newspaper and
when the blaze was at its height took
hold of the paper and backed out of
the door. The flame receded from
him instead of striking him in the
breast and setting fire to his clothing ,
which it would have done if he had
rushed out of the room with the blaze
in front of him. "The only time you
want to back up is when the lamp
explodes. " he said , "and the lamp
won't get hot and burn your hands.
The lamp gets so warm when the
other method is used that the holder
is obliged to drop it before reaching
the door and then the oil spreads
and the fire department must be
'called. "
Guardsmen on the Carpet.
Forty-two members of the Nebraska
national guard called at the office of
Adjutant General Phelps and explained
to Major Julius A. Penn , Twelfth
United States infantry , why they did
not appear at the annual inspection
which Major Penn conducted for the
war department during the winter
months. Most of them gave as an
excuse long residence in the country
and severe snow storms on the night
of inspection. They were given some
advice about absenteeism when they
had no good excuse. They were
called in because the attendance at
the government inspection did not
total eight hundred in the _ state , and
that number must be reached to en
title the state to a portion of its
$32,000 annual appropriation from the
government for the support of the na
tional guard. The necessary number
was reported.
To Bring Hesse Back.
Sheriff Roberts of Tecumseh has
obtained a requisition on the governor
of Florida for the return of E. E.
Hesse , charged with murdering his
wife and step-daughter , Wauneta , at
Tecumseh in 1910. Hesse is reported
to be at St. Petersburg , Fla. , across
the ba\ from Tampa. He is supposed
to be in custody.
State Fire Warden Charles A. Ran
dall proposes to enforce his ruling
that gasoline is not kept in a safe
manner unless it is stored at least
three feet underground. In a letter
to dealers he insists that all must live
up to this ruling , which he has made
under the law , or discontinue the sale
of gasoline.
A number of knives were collected
by prison officials Saturday morning.
These came from the men who went
'to the hospital for treatment and were
found in their clothing. All were
crude affairs , however.
Secretary Mellor of the state fair
board has received a signed contract
from Worth am & Allen's united
shows of Springfield , 111. , a company
that put on midway shows for the
Indiana and Illinois state fairs last
year. The company will do the same
for the Nebraska state fair this year.
As usual , the Nebraska fair board re
serves the right to censor any of the
shows on midway and prohibits gam
bling or games of chance on the
grounds.
Major Antles Deputy Warden.
Major Howard H. Antles , formei'ly
of Pilger , an officer in the Nebraska
national guard , has been appointed
deputy warden of the stte peniten
tiary by Governor Aldrich. Major
Antles has been acting deputy ever
since the outbreak of three escaping
prisoners and the manner in which he
has performed his duties has received

and Warden S. M. Melick. The new
deputy was not an applicant for the
place.

tin ever issued by the state board or
healUi made its appearance in Lin
coln. The book contains much statis
tical information and the plan of issuing - [
suing one of these pamphlets will be i

prominent place in the publication
and much stress is laid on the powers |
of the board in licensing maternity
homes , etc.
Flood Damage In Douglas.
Douglas County. "Flood damage to
Douglas county bridges and highways i !
alone will easily aggregate $50,000 , " j
said County Surveyor McBride. Mr. i
'
'McBride is 'highway ' commissioner by
virtue of holding the office of surveyor
and has made an exhaustive inspec
tion of the havoc wrought by the high
waters.
Business Men for City Officers.
Polk County. One feature of the
city election at Stromsburg this year
was- that the wet and dry question
was not taken into consideration as
all the principal business men agreed
to drop that issue indefinitely and the
question of saloons are not mentioned
there any more.
Farmer Falls Under Disc.

scribed for him. He died in a few
hours.
May Ask Government Help.
Dodge Count } * . Dodge county has
probably sustained more damage
from destruction of roads and bridges
and farm lands washed by the recent
floods than any other county on the
Platte river. An effort may be made'
to get the federal government to take
a hand in trying to control the river.
For Commissioners' Work.
The state food commissioner and
his assistants during the month of
March made 638 inspections , thirty-
eight chemical analyses , issued
ninety-one orders to business houses
to clean up , conducted one prosecu
tion , filed sixteen complaints and col
lected $323.82 in fees which were re
mitted to the state treasurer.
Fall Wheat in Good Condition.
Cass County. Fall wheat in Casts
county at present is in splendid condi
tion and a bumper crop is now almost
assured. A smaller acreage than
usual of spring wheat and oats will be
sown on account of the wet condi
tions of the fields.
A Favored Locality.
Boone County. This part of the
world has been very fortunate during
the floods , suffering no loss worth
peaking of. The roads are the worst
n the memory of man.
125,000 AMERICANS GO
TO CANADA IN 1911.-
THE YEAR 1912 WILL SHOW A
GREAT INCREASE.
In a report of the House Committee
( Washington ) appears the following :
"Canada offers a three-year home
stead upon good land , easily reclaimed
and cultivated , -with'six months' leave
of ahsence each year and most lenient
regulations. "
All of which Is true and It Is now
the part of the careful reader to con
sider the opportunities that exist in
Western Canada which , in addition to
the ahove , are attractive features
The evidence of these Is found In the
letters contributed by some of the
settlers. For instance : A former Min
nesotan , writing from Warner , South
era Alberta , speaks of that district ,
but what he says , applies generally to
all of Southern Alberta. He says :
"I have seen six crops , four of them
were first class , one of them a very
good crop , and the other a poor crop ,
Government statistics for the last fif
teen years show that this country has
averaged about fifteen or sixteen
inches of moisture. In 1910 there was
only seven inches , and in 1911 twenty
two inches. The 1909 crop was about
as good as I have seen in this coun
try and we had about twelve inches of
moisture , so that I am thoroughly con
vinced that with normal conditions
that is , from twelve to fifteen inches
of moisture , and with the natural in
crease of population and immigration
that Southern Alberta will be one of
the very best mixed farming districts
In the world. We have good soil , good
water , and a good climate , and alto
gether just as desirable a country to
live in as Dakota , Minnesota , Iowa , or
Wisconsin. "
Hundreds of letters are on file from
former American settlers , which give
good reasons why the Western Can
ada lands are being settled so rapidly.
Full particulars can be had of any Ca
nadian Government Agent , who will
furnish literature and give low rate
certificates. Excursions are being run
daily.
Probably Made a Hit.
A young woman who presides over
one of the kindergarten schools of
Cambridge appeared at her desk re
cently attired in a new close-fitting
skirt. With no thought other than
the conducting of her regular routine
work , the teacher went about her du
ties. She noticed , however , that one
of her charges was paying little at
tention to his work , but following her
with his eyes wherever she chanced to
go. Approaching the little fellow
with the intention of ascertaining the
trouble , she said : "Well , Tommy '
Before she could go any further the
youngster shook his boyish head and
said : "Say , teacher , " that's a classy
skirt you've got on ! " Boston Post.
Invading the Enemy's Country.
"In pursuance of a plan I have had
in mind for some time , " announced
Pastor Goodsole at the close of his
sermon , "I have rented a small room
in an apartment house in a fashion
able neighborhood and expect to open
a mission Sunday school there on the
first Sunday in May. I don't know ,
brethren , where the children who at
tend it are to come from if , indeed ,
any children attend it at all , but it will
be there all summer , and may be re
garded either as an opportunity or as
a reproach. We will now sing our
closing hymn. "
Fooling the Lord.
"Mother , " teased a little boy of five ,
"does God know everything that I'm
going to do before I do it ? "
"Yes , dear , everything , " she said.
"Well , does he know that I'm go
ing upstairs in a minute and put on
tny pajamas and say my prayers and
Set into bed ? "
"Yes , dear , he knows everything. "
"Well , tonight he's going to get
fooled , for I'm not going to say my
prayers. " St. Louis Republic.

"It reminds me of an incident In

"The driver mistook him for a mem

" 'Don't worry , my friend , ' said the
