> Tey WEDNESDAY, SEPTEMBER 26, 1928 NEBRASKA MAN GAVE START T0 ARBOR DAY IDEA Nebraska Commemorates J.! Sterling Morton With Arbor . Lodge Park BY GEORGE D. MANN Nebraska City, Neb., Sept, 22.— Back in 1855, a maa had gn idea in Nebraska, which eventually caught the imagination of an entire nation and thousands celebrate each year Arbor Day, but how many connect with the event the name of J. Sterl- ing Morton You cannot motor through this enterprising city of some 8,000 souls without being told that here Grover Cleveland’s secretary of agriculture, J. Sterling Morton, a lover of trees, origin&ted the Arbor Day id Nebraska has fittingly commem- orated his name by establishing “Arbor Lodge State Park,” compris: ing much of J. Sterling Morton’s estate where he and his wife home- steaded in 1855 under a “squatter’s right” during the days of the cov- ered wagon. The park consists of approximate- ly 65 acres of woodland, surrounding a most imposing colonial mansion, once the home of the Mortons, but now property of the state of Ne-! will be braska through the gift of Joy Mor- ton, a son of the late J. Sterling, who resides in Chicago. Stately elm, symmetrical maple and rugged oak trees cover the en- tire acreage and form a fitting mon- ument to the man who preached con- servation of trees and replenishment of forests as early as’ 1872 when he persuaded the governor of Nebraska to issue the first Arbor Day procla- mation, Upon the grounds is a fine bronze statue of J. Sterling Morton, which was unveiled in 1905 by Grover Cleveland, who came here with Mrs. Cleveland to honor his cabinet mem- ber and close personal friend. One room in the Morton mansion has been set aside as the Cleveland room, for it was here that the great Democratic leader spent the night following the dedicatory ceremonies. . The colonia! mansion which dom- inates the park is a most interesting historical museum. It has fifty-two rooms, many of which are furnished as they were in the pioneer days when “Buffalo Bill’ Cody and Thomas Ryan drove the famous Overland Stage linc. At the Arbor Lodge State Park is one of the coaches used on the stage line be- tween Fort Kearney and Lexington, Nebraska. But, after all, to the visitor the trees are most interesting of all. The pine grove originally had 10,000 trees, Some have been removed but the density of the woods impresses the tourist. More than 138 species of trees and shrubs are to be found in the park. Conspicuous are carved near the monument to the author of Arbor Day: it was said today. these words; “Love of Home is Primary Patri- ‘otism., Other Holidays Repose Upon the Past, Arbor Day Proposes for the Future.” CURTIS DENIES WHISKEY OFFER Says That the Originator af| the Statement Must Be Deliberate Liar Omaha, Neb., Sept. 26.—(#)—In no ‘uncertain terms Senator Curtis, can- didate for the vice president on the Republi¢an ticket, denied the state- ment issued at Baltimore, Md., last night by Senator Wm.

Future events will influence, to a large degree, the decision as to the route the Republican presidential candidate will follow in making his second transcontinental trip since his nomination, just as they will in- fluence the question of enlarging his itinerary in the east before he starts for his California home late next month to vote. While his Democratic opponent, Alfred E. Smith, is winding up his first campaign tour, during which Maddock when they member of their tribe shortly before his address on the afternoon of Oc- tober 5. Maddock will be followed to the platform by Gerald P. Nye, North Dakota’s junior senator. Both will speak on topics of their own choosing and which it is expected will be nonpolitical in nature. Indian dances on all of three eve- nings wil be one of the fair features. The Minnewaukan high school band will furnish muic for the afternoon programs, each of which will be cli- maxed with foot and horse races. Patrons of the fair, who are ex- pected to number about 10,000 this year if weather conditions are fa- vorable for travel, will see the game of Indian football, an adaptation of the English Rugby, played by two picked teams from the reservation. Numbered in the players on both sides will be stars of other years who played at Carlisle and other In- dian schools. October 4, teams representing Maddock and Minnewaukan_ will meet and Oct. 5 a team from Devils Lake high school and one from New Rockford high school will meet. Nearly $4,000 worth of buildings to the equipment at the reservation fair grounds, a 30 by 60 building having been moved on from the agency grounds and a new dance pavilion having been built at a cost of about $1,000. Pre- mium money which will be paid out will total about $500 and will be awarded everything from the finest. ins and hogs to the clean- est, healthiest baby and fastest horse on the show grounds. 1,000 Indians to Take Part More than 1,000 Sioux Indians will take part in the ceremony in which Maddock will be made a mem- ber of the tribe and number among the interested onlookers will be 50 members of the Chippewa nation who are numbered among the resi- dents at the reservation.

It will be made on October 6 at Elizabethton, Tenn., in connection with a historical celebra- tion there. ’ Hoover again today had limited the number of his engagements. He intended to confer with former Rep- resentative Frank Mondell of Wy- oming, one time Republican leader of the houge, and in the late after- noon he had an engagement with William Whiting, his successor as commerce secretary, to inspect the site of the new commerce depart- ment building to be erected as a part of the huge triangle of new public buildings on the south side of Penn- sylvania aver: LEAGUE FAVORS HARMONY MOVE Geneva, Sept. 26.—()—In an ef- fort to lapreeed the pacific settle- ment of disputes between nations, leaders of the League of Nations have decided to submit to the assem- had] bly a document entitled “a general act.” This would be open to the signature of all nations whether members of the league It.

CONSIDERED BY | HOME BUILDER Fireplaces Are Nice to Have,| Expensive, and Not Neces- sary (By the Building Editor) Consideration by the average home builder of the equipment and details of his home almost ay: boils down to a question of what he can afford. " There are so many desirable appli- ances so many attractive fea- tures which can be incorporated in a home that it often is hard to de- cide what to put in and what to leave out. Consultation with the ‘ketbook usually is the decisive factor. y i andi matter of ee ae Many homes now are being buil with one, two, and sometimes three fireplaces. fireplace, of coursé, is an attractive but not wholly neces- | sary feature—and they cost money. How much, depends on the type and construction of the fireplace. On Main F' When a house has one fireplace it usually is located on the main floor. A second may be placed in a basement room, and a third in an upstairs bedroom. As a usual thing all are connected to the same chim- ney and are located in rooms one above the other in the house, since chimneys, too, cost money. Plans for the demonstration home contemplate one fireplace in the liv- ing rou although it is not actually a fireplace. It is an imitation brick fireplace, constructed of plaster and equipped with a radiantfire or gas eater. These heaters have been tried in many Bismarck homes and | have proved a real convenience on chilly evenings, frosty mornings, cs n Resigns as Treas- urer After 14 Years With Organization Grand Forks, N.
