GRAND 60VERN0R SETS DITE FOR OHIO ARBOR DIY FRIDAY, APRIL 13, DAY WHEN CHILDREN SHOULD BE TAUQHT WONDERS OF BIRD8 AND TREES CELEBRATED GOLDEN WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Friday, April 13. is aet aa Arbor and Bird day for, Ohio ln 1923 In a proclamation Juat issued by Governor Donahey. The day chosen by the governor is the flrst day of Tree Planting Week, which haa been set by the national "Plan to Plant Another Tree" organization for April 13-20. In thia proclamation Arbor Day Is sst before the people of Ohio aa "a duty when children--should be taught some knowledge of those wondrous forms of life that, rooted ln one spot, live, grow, exercise Ood's plan of parentage, and die. It ts a day to study the bird life common to our state—to leant how birds help mankind and how friendly tbey are when undisturbed. It Is a day to marvel at the Instinct of these flying things—their knowledge of how and where and just what size to build a mothering nest— their sense of direction in the flights of fall and spring." Schools snd civic organizations throughout the atate are called upon to give suitable observance to tbls occasion. "Let us all, mature and young," says Oovernor Dpnuhey, "on this day, enlarge ourselves by seeking better understanding of those other forms of life. Perhaps, aome day we may communicate wltb them ln ways not yet apparent to our finite minds." 116,080 FORDS FOR FEBRUARY. Wltb 116.080 Ford cars sold at retail ln February, a new record tor the shortest month in the year has been established. February sales exceeded those of January by more than 15,000 and marked the eleventh month ln which Ford sales have topped the 100,- 000 line. This Bales record bears out predictions made at the opening of the year that a acute shortage ln Ford cars is certain and tbls shortage la expected to be felt wthln the next two months with the increaaed volume of car buying which la always attendant upon the spring months. Even the high production schedule set at the Ford Motor Company's factory, which will reach 6,000 cars and trucks a day about April 1, will be unable to meet the apparent demand tor Ford products. Anticipating a great Increase ln the demand for Ford cars during the present year tbe factory laid plana for increasing production to tbe 6,000 car a day schedule snd since January 1st hsd been constantly speeding up manufacture to reach this figure. Demand ao far,haa been ot such great proportions as to absorb nearly all production, and stocks ln hands of dealers are at present tbe lowest tbey have been In months. Mr. snd Mrs. Wm. Emery, Sr., visited Elyrla friends Saturday. REA80NS EDUCATION COSTS HAVE JUMPED. It costs only twenty-four centa more per month for each child to secure the greatly broadoned modern school training than It did to secure the limited education of 1890. acocrdlng to a statistical anaylsls Just made public by the State Department of Education. The cost of instruction, whleh meana salaries of teachers and supervisors and cost ot text books where furnished free, was nine million dollars In 1890 and flfay millions in 1920-21. An Increase In attendance which amounts to sixty-two per cent Snd a lengthening of the school year by at least seven per cent accounts for more than six millions of the Increase of present costs over those of thirty yeara ago. Price Index numbers for 1490 snd 1920 show that for every $100 spent for education three decades ago $290 would be needed In iff to buy the same amount. To give tbe L890 type of education to the number of pupils enrolled in 1920-21 tor the longer school year would cost fifteen million dollara; however, It would take forty- five million of the 1920 dollars to buy this fifteen million dollars worth because of the depreciation of the dollar. Thia accounts for thirty millions of the Increase. If high scHbols had grown no faster than the schools as a whole, there would have been 108,000 fewer youth In high .school ln 1920-21 than there actually were. Educating this excess number costs at least $25 more per pupil annaully than elementary education and accounta for $2,700,000 ot the Increase over 1890.

Questions of aex, of domestic rein* tlons of married men and women and courtship have been handled with ran* skill and delicacy that forbade I'lTendliiK thoughts. The speaker stated that new problems are confronting the world In every department of activity; drastic aoclal elianges aro Inevotable and Imminent, and that significant Influences are now nt work tending to undermine the ssn- ctity of the home and tho aacredneaa of the ni.iiritige relation. Deep concern for the *,ii-,.'.ni of the Immediate future Iml color to every lecture and gripped the thought of each father an.l mother in his audiences Morbid sensationalism waa not allowed to intrude Itself. Wholesome constructive consideration for a wife by the husband and vice versa were Im I I up as the keystone of the arch. To that end the training of boya waa presented to the thought of mothers, in ause they will be the more aggressive of the snxes In establishing marriage relations. Compatibilities and Incompatibilities of married persons were pictured to an nudlence among wblch were many whitened heads. Tears, alternating with laughter, waa the roa- ponso of newly married, middle aged and elderly men and their wlvea aa the lecturer eloquently named the Im- i"* llnu'iiis to compatibility and dissert I'd the essentials to proper adaptation of man to woman and woman to man !u the marriage relation, while pleading with husbands not to forget the distinctive be*, of candy or bunch of nos,■rays thut lent surprise and charm tu the courtship of IS to 24, "Stooped ahou'iters, wrinkled features, hard hand- uud whitened hairs are no lndl- i at ion that the herlone by your side cares for thus.* things no longer," he said. lie urged mothers to make the boy in the home share responsibility for dish-washing and other household duties with his sister and mother. "Teach hltn to love the beautiful while a boy. Then, some day, he will bo better able to make some woman happy," tho lecturer stated. "Don't OOddlS him If you would make a strong man of him. Put him out in the rain and the cold. Harden him. Make hla muscles .and his vitality rigorous. Above all. develop In him strong home Instincts, becuuse they are the heart aud core of his appreciation of the numberless little things his good wife will do In order to make bis home cozy and attractive. If he loves his home it Is almost a certainty that be will rightly love his children."

"Let us all, mature and young," says Oovernor Dpnuhey, "on this day, enlarge ourselves by seeking better understanding of those other forms of life. Perhaps, aome day we may communicate wltb them ln ways not yet apparent to our finite minds." 116,080 FORDS FOR FEBRUARY. Wltb 116.080 Ford cars sold at retail ln February, a new record tor the shortest month in the year has been established. February sales exceeded those of January by more than 15,000 and marked the eleventh month ln which Ford sales have topped the 100,- 000 line. This Bales record bears out predictions made at the opening of the year that a acute shortage ln Ford cars is certain and tbls shortage la expected to be felt wthln the next two months with the increaaed volume of car buying which la always attendant upon the spring months. Even the high production schedule set at the Ford Motor Company's factory, which will reach 6,000 cars and trucks a day about April 1, will be unable to meet the apparent demand tor Ford products. Anticipating a great Increase ln the demand for Ford cars during the present year tbe factory laid plana for increasing production to tbe 6,000 car a day schedule snd since January 1st hsd been constantly speeding up manufacture to reach this figure. Demand ao far,haa been ot such great proportions as to absorb nearly all production, and stocks ln hands of dealers are at present tbe lowest tbey have been In months. Mr. snd Mrs. Wm. Emery, Sr., visited Elyrla friends Saturday. REA80NS EDUCATION COSTS HAVE JUMPED. It costs only twenty-four centa more per month for each child to secure the greatly broadoned modern school training than It did to secure the limited education of 1890. acocrdlng to a statistical anaylsls Just made public by the State Department of Education. The cost of instruction, whleh meana salaries of teachers and supervisors and cost ot text books where furnished free, was nine million dollars In 1890 and flfay millions in 1920-21. An Increase In attendance which amounts to sixty-two per cent Snd a lengthening of the school year by at least seven per cent accounts for more than six millions of the Increase of present costs over those of thirty yeara ago. Price Index numbers for 1490 snd 1920 show that for every $100 spent for education three decades ago $290 would be needed In iff to buy the same amount. To give tbe L890 type of education to the number of pupils enrolled in 1920-21 tor the longer school year would cost fifteen million dollara; however, It would take forty- five million of the 1920 dollars to buy this fifteen million dollars worth because of the depreciation of the dollar. Thia accounts for thirty millions of the Increase. If high scHbols had grown no faster than the schools as a whole, there would have been 108,000 fewer youth In high .school ln 1920-21 than there actually were. Educating this excess number costs at least $25 more per pupil annaully than elementary education and accounta for $2,700,000 ot the Increase over 1890.

Questions of aex, of domestic rein* tlons of married men and women and courtship have been handled with ran* skill and delicacy that forbade I'lTendliiK thoughts. The speaker stated that new problems are confronting the world In every department of activity; drastic aoclal elianges aro Inevotable and Imminent, and that significant Influences are now nt work tending to undermine the ssn- ctity of the home and tho aacredneaa of the ni.iiritige relation. Deep concern for the *,ii-,.'.ni of the Immediate future Iml color to every lecture and gripped the thought of each father an.l mother in his audiences Morbid sensationalism waa not allowed to intrude Itself. Wholesome constructive consideration for a wife by the husband and vice versa were Im I I up as the keystone of the arch. To that end the training of boya waa presented to the thought of mothers, in ause they will be the more aggressive of the snxes In establishing marriage relations. Compatibilities and Incompatibilities of married persons were pictured to an nudlence among wblch were many whitened heads. Tears, alternating with laughter, waa the roa- ponso of newly married, middle aged and elderly men and their wlvea aa the lecturer eloquently named the Im- i"* llnu'iiis to compatibility and dissert I'd the essentials to proper adaptation of man to woman and woman to man !u the marriage relation, while pleading with husbands not to forget the distinctive be*, of candy or bunch of nos,■rays thut lent surprise and charm tu the courtship of IS to 24, "Stooped ahou'iters, wrinkled features, hard hand- uud whitened hairs are no lndl- i at ion that the herlone by your side cares for thus.* things no longer," he said. lie urged mothers to make the boy in the home share responsibility for dish-washing and other household duties with his sister and mother. "Teach hltn to love the beautiful while a boy. Then, some day, he will bo better able to make some woman happy," tho lecturer stated. "Don't OOddlS him If you would make a strong man of him. Put him out in the rain and the cold. Harden him. Make hla muscles .and his vitality rigorous. Above all. develop In him strong home Instincts, becuuse they are the heart aud core of his appreciation of the numberless little things his good wife will do In order to make bis home cozy and attractive. If he loves his home it Is almost a certainty that be will rightly love his children."
