It was a very agioeable change for the thou sands of school children in this clly ireiu whom a holiday of the vciy best kind bad been arranged, and for the thou sands of adults throughout the county and state who have been wakened lip te nn enthusiastic Interests In the occasion. A special tree market was held In the square and In all parts of the city persons hurrying hither nnd thither with young trees and Mlu ubs, and vislble preparations for their planting indicated hew goneral would be the observance of the day.

Tlie city of Lancas ter should buy twenty neics or 111010 of land in or near the clly nnd plant 11 as a park. College ncnue, the turnpikes and country roadsides should bu planted with trees. The old w eild in this respect is us Jar ahead of us ns we are ahead of them In many ether re--speets. Jehn I.

The noblest tiee in Lancaster is prob ably the American elm within n stone's threw el wheie we are new celebrating our Ilrst Arber Day.

The moral of the story is that the planting of trees In a city for shade nnd ret-ornament is n very geed thing hew geed we have only begun te llnd out, and Arber Day will aid greatly in Impressing the lessen. As te the planting el' Irult trees: Some traveller tells ol'aceiintiy where, it' ene Ixi eating peach, plum, pearerappleas he passes along, he steps te plant the seed, ami fruit lipciis in iihimdance by tlie wayside.
