8 THE COLUMBIAN, BLObMSBUPO. P THE COLUMBIAN. BLOO..ISBURG, PA. THUIWDAY, APRIL 2, 1!K)H. SPRING ARBOR DAYS. Governor Stuart Makes April 3rd and 24th Arbor Days. Governor Stuart Issued a procla mation designating April 3 and 24 as Arbor Days. The proclamation says: "The American people are on the verge of a timber famine. The annual consumption of lumber is cow more than three times as great as the annual growth. At the present rate of growth and con sumption, the day is not far dis tant when the scarcity of wood will be felt in our homes as well as in our industries. Equally serious is the waste of soil, which is due to the reckless destruction of our for ests. Every time our creeks and rivers become muddy we can see the action of swollen streams is robbing the laud of its fertility. Forests regulate the distribution of rainfall and lessen the frequency and the destructive effects of floods and freshets. "Pennsylvania has made a com mendable beginning at systematic forestry. The State now owns more than three-quarters of a mil lion acres of forest land. Under proper tilling the farm does not lose by yielding a harvest, and under proper methods of forestry the mer cantile timber can be put upon the market without detriment to the forest. "Trees are valuable not merely for use as lumber, but also for shade and for fruit. "Our State occupies a foremost place in the value of its orchards and fruit trees' The rising gener ation should feel a special interest in the planting of the best varieties of trees, and in their growth and protection against noxious insects and other enemies. The annual observance of Arbor Day by the schools and by the people, in cities as well as in rural sections, has helped to create public sentiment and to disseminate useful knowl edge with reference to the planting and care of trees and the preserva tion of our forests."

Whether you are required to re port for work "On the minute" or a person of leisure, a good alarm clock is often a necessity. The Rotator is dependable and is rec ommended to both light and sound sleepers as positively the safest and surest guarantee of being aroused at the time desired. Ultra sound sleepers, after using the common, continuous alarm clock a short time, have found that the alarm awakens them momentarily only, and they again lapse into lumber, the alarm having failed of ts purpose. The alternate noise and silence of the "Rotator" is so irritating in its effect and so per istent in keeping at it that it nev er fails of its object. The retail price of the clock is 52-50. On account of the univer sal depression, the manufacturer was compelled to have ready money. and Tht Philadelphia Press made an arrangement direct with him that nables them to offer 2 he Press i)aily, one whole year, and one of '.be "Rotators," delivered at your ioor, both for four dollars and twenty-five cents. The saving is yours, but hurry, as the demand is greater than the supply. "A Good Nar,i at Home" "la a tower of strength abrond" and the excellent reputation of C. I.

Creasy's Record As Viewed by the Newspapers and Prom inent Men of the County and State. THE JOHNSTOWN DEMOCRAT SPEAKS OUT AND SATS: "It is reported that an effort is being made in Columbia county to defeat Representative Wm. T. Creasy for renotniua tion. This would be a state wide misfortune were it to suc ceed. Mr. Creasy is one of the really strongmen of the Penn sylvania legislature. His record is exceptionally meritorious and he has rendered the people of the whole state most valua ble service in fighting and in many cases defeating legislation of the most shameless character proposed in the interest of po litical bandits and their corporation principals. Mr. Creasy has been in the house for several years and lie has come to know the ropes as no new man could hope to learn them without at least an equal length of service and an equal grasp of the fundamentals of good government. The Colum bia county farmer is a man of sterling integrity, of courage and of deep and abiding conviction. There is no better Dem ocrat in the state than this big man who commands the respect as he has compelled the wholesome fear of the corrupt gang which has so long ruled at Harrisburg and which is now try ing to keep a number of its pets and retainers out of the peni tentiary. To lose his strength and his sagacity, and his keen and ardent devotion to the common good from the house in order to make room for some one who is looking for honors, would be little short of calamity. Of course Mr. Chrisman, the gentleman who is trying to unhorse Mr. Creasy, is clearly within his right. He is a Dem ocrat and he may with propriety aspire to serve his party. But has he a right in pursuing his ambitions to pull down or even attempt to pull down one who has stood so bravely under such a great stress and for so long for all that is best in De mocracy and for everything that has been for the advance ment of good government ? Ordinarily it makes little differ ence who comes and who goes in the legislature. The practice of rotation in office perhaps is an unimportant detail as it af fects the average case. But when it strikes at such a figure as that which Farmer Creasy has made in the Pennsylvania legislature it becomes pernicious; it is more honored in the breech than in the observance. It is to be hoped therefore that in the interest of the Demo cratic party of the state as well as in the interest of Pennsyl vania, whose faithful servant Mr. Creasy has been, Mr. Chris man will defer his ambition to serve the people of Columbia at Harrisburg. We do not imagine that Mr. Chrisman would claim for himself that he is better equipped than Mr. Creasy for the work which so needs to be done. He can hardly ask the Democrats of the state to look upon him as a better Dem ocrat or as one more loyal to the best traditions of the great party of the plain people. Mr. Creasy is known far beyond the borders of this commonwealth as a man of progressive ideas. He is known as a Democrat of the highest type and as a legislator who brings to his task not only the advantages of a large experience, but also the qualities of mind and heart which differentiate the statesman from the mere politician. He is needed at Harrisburg. The loss of no other man would be so keenly felt. And Columbia county will make a sad mis take if she shall allow the state to lose his services." HON. JERRY S. BLACK, LATE CAN0I0ATE FOR LIEUTENANT-GOVERNOR ON THE DEMOCRATIC TICKET, AND GRANDSON OF THE GREAT JURIST JEREMIAH S. BLACK, SAYS: York, Pa., March 25th, 1908. Hon. William T. Creasy, Catawissa, Pa. My Dear Creasy: In my judgment you owe it to the party and to the State to continue in the service of the people as a member of the Legislature. For many years you have stood out as a member of the Leg islature the uncompromising opponent of bad legislation. Your leadership of the minority party of the House meets the approval of every Democrat in the State. Your long ex perience combined" with your good judgment and aggressive ness make you a Democratic leader worthy of the name. With my best wishes, I am, Yours sincerely, J. S. BLACK. The Philadelphia North American says: most useful member in the Legislature." "Mr. Creasy is the The Philadelphia Record says, editorially: "Talk of oppo sition to the renomination of "Farmer" Creasy as the Demo cratic candidate for the House of Representatives from his district is likely largely hot air. The good people of Columbia county are too keenly alive to the interests of their prosperous section to willingly dispense with the services of sucn. an hon est and able spokesman at Harrisburg. The people of the State at large share this good opinion of Mr. Creasy, and con fidently look for him to occupy hi 3 old position at the next session of the Legislature." HON. LEONARD RHONE. FOR MANY YEARS MASTER OF THE PENNSYLVANIA STATE GRANGE AND AN ARDENT WORKER FOR THE INTERESTS OF THE FARMER SAYS: To the Citizens of Columbia County: The people throughout the State, especially the farmers, are greatly in terested that your county should return Hon. William T. Creasy (better known as Farmer Creasy) to the Legislature, because of his valuable services to the cause of good govern ment. Especially are the farmers throughout the State anx ious for his return on account of his leadership in the interests of agriculture on the floor of the House of Representatives. Respectfully submitted, LEONARD RHONE. In another part of this paper William T. Creasy announces himself as a candidate for the Democratic nomination for the Legislature to succeed himself. Mr. Creasy is well-known to all people in the county. His reputation as a legislator is one of the best. He has always been on the side of the people, and during his long service in the Legislature has advocated many re forms. His friends are hoping that he will be renominated and elected. Sentinel and Daily, In another column of this paper Wm. T. Creasy makes his formal announcement as Democratic candidate for the Legis lature. Mr. Creasy's services in the Legislature are too well known to need comment. One of the State leaders of Democ racy he has long taken an active interest in Columbia county politics. He has a national reputation as a Granger and is one of the county's most progressive farmers. Morning Press, In this issue we announce the name of Hon. Wm. T, Creasy for the Legislature. Every voter knows the farmer. He is an experienced Legislator and long years of service in the lower body of the lawmakers of this State has rounded out of him the best parliamentarian of the State.
