AN ARBOR DAY ANNIVERSARY. Today is the centennial anniversary of the birth of J. Sterling Morton, the founder of Arbor Day. Owing to differing climatic conditions and tree plant- ing times, Arbor Day occurs on different dates in different States, but there are two outstanding dates in connection with the day and with forestry in general. The first is April 10, the anniversary of the first observance of Arbor Day and the other is April 22, the birthday anniversary of the founder. Tree planting is always the outstanding feature of Arbor Day observance. J. Sterling Morton was Secretary of Agriculture in the second Administration of President Cleveland from 1893 to 1897. All his life he was devoted to the cause of free planting. It was in 1872 at his home in Nebraska City, Nebraska, that his long continued efforts resulted in organized observance of Arbor Day. He had been urging the planting of trees for many years. In 1899, before there was a Forest Service in the Department of Agriculture, Gifford Pinchot, the For- ester, commented that the institution of Arbor Day may fairly be said to exercise immense influence in ex- citing affection and respect for trees in the coming generations, and so to prepare a body of sentiment which will assist power- fully hereafter to bring about the general practice of conservative forestry. This prediction now seems conservative. The Forest Service is now more than 25 years old. For the last seven years the Clarke-McNary law has been in effect and has proved a material stimulus te tree planting, providing, as it does, for Federal co- operation with the States in the distribution of forest planting stock to farmers. In the last fiscal year the Federal contribution for this purpose was approximately $90,000, which was matched by nearly $250,000 from private individuals. These two anniversaries, it is anticipated, will increase interest in Arbor Day this year. Nurseries, private and public, have also observed an incfease in interest in tree planting this year as a part of the Washington bicentennial program. Also the Posatl Service will issue a special 2-cent stamp to commemorate the sixtieth anniversary of the estab- lishment of Arbor Day, which will be first placed on sale April 22 at Nebraska City, Nebraska, the former home of the father of Arbor Day. THE PROGRESS OF SCIENCE. The Battle of Lexington, which marked the be- ginning of the war for American independence, was fought 157 years ago on the 19th of April. It has been described as the scene of the shot that was heard round the world. On the anniversary of the occasion last Tuesday Gov. Ely of Massachusetts, at Schnectady, New York, fired an old flinklock rifle such as was used at the Battle of Lexington, and it was literally heard round the world. The noise of the shot and the speech that was made at the time by Gov. Ely went round the world and has progressed even further than the country the |first step toward the formatiori of which was the |first battle of the Revolutionary War at Lexington, Mass., April 19, 1775. SPLITTING HAIRS. A study of Gov. Roosevelt's famous radio speech and his St. Paul address would indicate that former Gov. Smith was splitting hairs when he attacked the Roosevelt philosophy at the Jefferson Day dinner. Gov. Roosevelt could not in fairness be |accused of “setting class against class, rich against poor.” Gov. Roosevelt's speeches were both based on the fundamental principles of his party. His | language was not more extravagant than Gov. Smith had used many times and in support of similar principles as those advocated by Gov. Roosevelt. The principles are those of Jefferson, Jackson, |Cleveland, Wilson and other great Democrats. | The Empire yields to none in its admiration of |the character, ability and sterling Americanism and EDemocmcy of Gov. Smith, but it cannot see merit |or point in his criticism of the words or principles of Gov. Roosevelt's speech. | The last time the Democrats nominated a can- |didate for Delegate to Congress who did not hail from the First Division was in 1914 when Charles E. Bunnell was nominated. It seems about time for the First Division to concede the nomination to another Division. Senator Dimond is a resident of | the Third Division—a leader of the bar there—and has demonstrated his splendid qualifications to rep- resent Alaska in Congress by his services in the Territorial Legislature. While Senator Dimond hails from the Third Division he is one of those men who are big enough to represent the entire Territory. He is not sec- tional or factional in any sense‘of the word. He is one of the biggest and broadest men in Alaska measured by any standard that one might wish to use. Germany’s Republican Succession. (New York Times.) Because of President Hindenburg’s age, the thought was bound to occur that before very long again. In that case, what sfatesmen of sufficient stature was available to uphold the republican cause against another Hitler? Now it is answered. The campaign which ended with the re-election of Hindenburg is in no in- considerable measure a victory for Chancellor Bruen- ing. His intellectual qualifications for leadership were long ago proven. His fighting powers are now a matter of record. The German democratic system has from the first demonstrated its ability to provide leadership in an emergency. In the stormy period after the Armistice the necessary men to stand up against revolution from Left and Right were found among the Socialists. Later leadership came from the Centre Party, the People’s Party, and from the most unexpected quarters in the person of Hindenburg. A list of names which comprises Ebert, Noske, Severing, Marx, Hindenburg, Stresemann and Bruen- ing in a period of about a dozen years does credit to a people which before the war was regarded as peculiarly unfit for self-rule. Canada’s Budget. (Cincinnati Enquirer.) ‘This country is not alone in its struggle to ibalance the budget, for its nearest neighbor, Canada, is entering upon a legislative battle toward the same end. Most European countries went through the | process a year ago, when the United States still was |spending merrily and with no thought for the future. The Canadian Government's project calls for in- crease of the general sales tax, lowering of the {minimum exemption on incomes, and imposition of new or higher nuisance taxes of various kinds. |Increased revenues are to account for two-thirds (of the discrepancy between income and expense, |while economies are to take care of the other third. Unlike the United States, Canada is able to de- ipend on import taxes for the largest item of the national revenue. In part this results from more §modera',e rates of duty and in part from the large |imports needed in a country which lacks many |facilities for manufacture. The new and higher burdens of taxation will not be pleasant for Canadian citizens, but they have one satisfaction we do not enjoy in the United States, namely, that the costs of govern- ment have been reduced in a significant propor- tion, Lhereby mitigating the extra weight of higher I}IVII.

PROGRAM IS POSTPONED TO MAY 6 ‘The May meeting of the Ju- L KITTY SYNOPSIS: “David is in love with you,” Kitty Frew is told by Dorcas Tabor. But Kitty has thought David, her husband’s half-brother, merely a loyal friend. She needs her friends, as her husband, Gar, borrows money from his moth-~ er, instead of earning it, and is attracted by Marge Crosby. CHAPTER 34. SUSPICION b Kitty shrank as though the other had struck her. She made a little quick sound of protest. Her face flamed and paled and flam- ed again. “It—isn’t so!” She answered faintly. Dorcas had quieted. She put her hand on Kittys shoulder. *I was a beast to say that. You didn't know, of course. David wouldw’t let you know by any word or sigm. You must forgive my telling you. I've messed things up, I'm afraid. I lost hold of myself— You made me angry. You seemed so stupid. You see, Kitty, I happen to care a great deal about David's happi- ness—" Kitty stirred only enough to draw herself away from Dorcas’ hand. But Dorcas went on, un- noticing. *“T used toa think David would love me some day, the way a man must love me if I marry him. But after I saw him with you. I knew. T'm mnqgt jealous —those are things one can't help. But I feel very sorry for poor old David.” Kitty felt tears on her cheeks and put up her hands to wipe them away. Her hands shut tight over her eyes. “You are just imagining it, Dor- cas.” she whispered. Tt wasn't f0. Tt couldn’t be so0.” “Oh, no. We've talked it out David and L” Kitty got up quickly, moving a little blindly. “I must go.” She would not look at Dorcas. She put on her coat, jammed her soft hat down on her head. “I wish| you hadn't told me,” she cried hotly, youthfully. I “I wish I hadn't told you. Da-| vid will never forgive me. Or you, ] perhaps?” She followed Kitty to the door, she put out a hand and resolutely detained her. “Kitty, you must know whai David's doing now. They refused that other manuscript he sent to them, but they want him to write another. He's gone down to his "place to start it. He's all en- thusiasm over it. You wouldn' know him, Kitty. He's found him- self.” “Poor old David.” Dorcas had said. Later thinking of this, Kitty thought later. Kitty struggled to smother a sympathy for Dawvid in| her own heart. She did not think any more. “It dsn't so.” Some- how, she knew mnow, that it was 50. The memory of countless mo- ments with David, expressions she had caught on his face, words he had not said, his concern and consideration came back to her with a new understanding. He'd finished his boo kto prove himself, to her. He was working desperately on another one. And she couldn’t share it with him! Dorcas had made that im- possible. “I'll never forgive her.” Kitty thought, indignantly. Bhe had no compassion for Dorcas, who had admitted so frankly that she cared for David. “She’s spoiled everything between David and me,” ‘That Margery Crosby was go- ing abroad in April became an established fact. Every one talk- ed of it. Marge talked of it. “Mother and I are going to travel during the summer, and then I'm going to live in Paris.” Stay, Marge? For the winter?” “The rest of my life, perhaps.” She said that, whenever she had chance, always a little sadly, suggesting that she was seeking ex- ile for some mysterious cause. “Is Marge really going to live in Paris?” Kitty asked Ger im- pulsively. “How do I know what shell ¢0?” Gar had countered with such obvious annoyance as ‘to silence Kitty, leaving her troubled. She noticed that Gar was moody, restless, cross these days. Her old torment of fear and un- “SANERBBOTT, | Her home for dinner or telephone. He came in @bout eight o'clock, of- fering no explanation. No, he was not hungry. What did they have on for the night? Nothing? “Well, let's go to the movies. T don't wan: to bit here, doing nothing.” Kitty had an impulse to tell him she didnt feel like going out to the movies. The waiting, the lonely dinner served by Carley, the little suspicions that had lift- ed their ugly beads, had worn her almost o a breaking point. “You might, at least, tell me where you've been,” she said sharply. 41 stopped in at mother’s. You can'. kick about that, can you?” And she'd rather he had said he'd been with Marge! She did not answer him. A round of informal parties in Mirge's honor began. Every night Gar and Kitty joined the others to ce somewhere. “We'll need to go to Bridgewat- er to rest,” Kitty said to Gar, laughing. Why, T've lost ten pounds I ! believe.” She was thinner. Her bright color was gone. But Gar had not noticed. The bridesmaid’s dress had come from Delicia’s. She put it on for Gar to see it. “Isn't it lovely?” And Gar. sald briefly that iv was all right, he guessed. He had scowled at it, irritated or some- thing. Flear grew sharper in Kitty's heart, a mnameless fear, for she weculd not give it any name. She had a sensation of fighting with empty hands blindly. ‘She was in- expressibly; lonely, she realized sharply thalt alfter all ithese months in‘Winton she had mo real friends! She would not go to Dorcas, now. Carol, wrapped in' her own trou- bles, was no comfort. She could ne% talk to David—and most of all che wanted to talk to David.

He hadn't had any right to in love with her. “Evervthing's so useless,” she cried aloud one evening when she was dressing to' go out with Gar. And the sound of fthe words frightened her. | Tt was so. “Go back 'to Bridgewater. Call it @ mistake.” The words leaped out’at last. What if she did? /And then Gar came in hurry- “I'm sorry I'm so flate, Kiit. Ready? It won't take me a min- ute to bathe.” SHé clung to him. #Why, what’s the maifter, sweet?

I fell her 'you're bushed.” “Oh, T'il go. I'm all right, Gar.” And then that nagging suspecion that maybe Gar'd rether go with- out her. Somerson ‘was always one of party. More often than noti he escorted Marge. [Kitty knew fthat the others laughed at the indifference Marge showed him. And Gar, to Kitty, talked scaithingly of him, After Isobel's party, talking it over, Gar -said. “That big bounder—Somerset, I'd like o punch his face in for his “But' why does Marge bother with him?"” Gar did not answer her..
