LINCOLN, April 10. - (Speclal.)-Gov-ernor Morehead has designated Tuesday, April 22, as Arbor day anil calls upon public schools and all citizens to observe the day by setting out trees and other wise keeping up the spirit or the day. The proclamation reads: The law makers or thl state have set aside April 22 of each year as a holi day, to be known as Arbor day. In keep ing with this wise piovlslon, 1 recommend to all citizens of the state, that Tuesdav. April 22, 1913, be given over to the plant ing of trees nnd shrubs. . The Idea of setting aside a- da' for this purpose had Its birth In Nebraska, but has now be come nation wide.

WETMOKE An announcement of no small moment to the automobile fraternity Is made to day in the advertising columns of The KvenlnK Mall. It Is none other than that thn B, K Goodrich C ompany has made a reduction In the prices of Ooodrich tires. Officials of the Ooodrich Company de clare that it Is reasonable to assume that the example set by this powerful member of the tiro making Industry will be fol lowed by the other makers, No explanation or reasons why are given in this announcement, but with crude rubber selling at a somewhat lower figure than that prevailing for a year or more past, and the constant de-1 vlplng and application of new higher ef ficiency methods of tire manufacture. I the reduced Goodrich tire prices are but I a natural outcome and show the willing tiess of a great corporation to give the .buying public the benofits derived from ' changed and Improved conditions I understand that the reduction betters ' the present price to the user 5 per cent. This, coupled with the reduction first put Into effect by the same company nearly a year ago, enables the purchase of tires by the user now at a material saving over prices prevailing prior to April of last year, New York Evening Mail, , March SU l&l J SURE DIAGNOSIS MOST ESSENTIAL Expert Claims That Enough Attention is Not Paid To the Cause.
