We heli'vo the ti'inpeiiinc ; people have
reilxon to bo (jrlevcd at the defeat of

were not thu only onex Inteivxtcil In the

passing ninny another act that will be
dead-letters and that are of very little
importance to tho pooplo. The ''dead

pretty thin. Why not have given the
petitioners tho satisfaction of knowing
that there is such a law by passing it
even If It would only have been u dead

Governor Hastings has Issued a pro
clamation fixing Friduy, April I), and
Friday, April 21), as Arbor Days. The
Governor says: "The custom of annual
ly fixing a day to bo celebrated as Arbor
Day, has spread Into every section of
the country. The value of these
celebrations has been abundantly mani
fest, ' In the state which claims the
honor of having originated Arbor Day,
more than 350,000,000 trees were planted
during the first Ave years. The cere
monies Incident to Arbor Day have
created Increased interest In the growth
and care of trues, und have quickened
the appreciation and importance of
forest preservation. The necessity of
covering with a new growth of trees
the otherwise useless areas of our State
Is apparent In every section. To this
end our law makers have appropriate
legislation In progress. Young und old
more than ever appreciate that there Is
not a spot on earth which tnuy not bo
made more beautiful by tho help of
t rees and flowers. School grounds have
been adorned, the. surroundings of tho
home have been beautified, public parks
have been multiplied and the landscapes
und charming scenery of Pennsylvania
may yet bo made still more attractive.
We aro rapidly passing from a destruc
tive to a constructive policy. We have
learned the. lesson that trees and the
forests are essential to our continued
, prosperity, and that he who plants a
troe, whether boy or man, Is a publlo
many puh:i-lierx ill be patient if tlio
xuliMTibi rx hhow that they mit "tugging
a little harder to H-rape the dimes

Should be worn, to the
exclusion of everything
inferior. We leave our
shoes to tell their own story.
They form a series of foot
notes on ease and comfort, as
it were, and make the whole
subject bo clear that even the
careless cannot miss the point
they present. Just look at
our goods. Note the shape

shoes with the prices. There's
only one conclusion possible,
