Urges Nebraskans to Plant , Trees as Soldier Memorials Governor McKelvie Issues Proclamation in Which He Tells Why Arbor Day Should Be Observed. By a Staff Correspondent. Lincoln, April 10. A proclama tion issued by Governor McKelvie calling for the observance of Arbor day, April 22. 1919, recommends the planting of trees to commemorate fallen Nebraska heroes in the world war. This is the proclamation : No day in the year means more to the people of Nebraska ' in a material sense than Arbor day. This grows out of the . fact that the day primarily sug- 1 gests the necessity and ad vantage of planting trees, there by adding beauty to the land scape and value to the land, fur nishing shade for man and beast in summer and protection from the cold blasts of winter winds. Over and above this, the trees furnish a home and nesting place for birds fof all varieties. These greet us in the morning and evening, making the air vocal with song. The chatter of the wren, the song of blue bird and robin, the whistle of the bob white are a means of inspiration; to all and their pres ence of untold value to the farmer, the gardener and fruit raiser. Insects of a thousand kinds prey on the plants and blossoms until at times our crops are destroyed or in a large measure made less 6n account of their depredations. Birds de stroy these by the millions and ' Caboose Struck by Snow Plow and Three Men Injured Fairhiirv Wh Anrif in Telesram Tampe Smith rh,ri.

Trees supply most birds with this opportunity and, there fore, we should plant and pro tect trees, not only on Arbor day, but at all proper seasons of the year. Plant a tree it will be there long after you have gone, a monument to your sin cere desire to be a blessing to the world. I would urge ' that schools, public and private, and our state institutions, as far as possible, take an interest in the day and organize for its proper observ ance; that each family plant at least one tree. It may be for fruit, shade or ornament, but plant and cultivate it, for it will be a source of pleasure and prof it in after years. Arbor day this year is the first to occur after the great war, and may be fittingly observed by planting a tree that will develop in strength and beauty, in com memoration . of some one or more who gave all they had that the world might be made free from autocratic rule and mili tary despotism, and we trust the beginning of an era' of universal peace. Thus, the day may' be made more sacred tljan any that have preceded it. To the end that all may the better observe the day, I hereby proclaim the twenty-second day of April, A. D., 1919, a legal ' holiday. In testimony whereof, I hereunto set my hand and caused to be affixed the great seal of the state of Nebraska,, this, the ninth day of April, 1919. the signers agreed to resume the old time.
