laborers bruised his leg. Owing to the bad
state of his blood, an ugly scrofulous swelling
or lump appeared on the injured limb. Hor.
rible itching Of the skin, with burning AMI
darting pains through the lump, made life
almost intolerable. The leg became cnor-
nouely enlarged, and running ulcers formed,
dlschargng great quantities OF extremely
offensive matter. No treatment was of any
avail until the man, by Mr.. LELASD's direc-

healed the sores, removed the swelling, and
completely restored the limb to use.

ArbOr Day, 1884.

To the people of the State of Mich
gan:
AT q session of the Legislature fol-
the year 1881 the following resolution
was adopted:
ReSol0ed, That his Excellency, the
Governor, be hereby requested to call
the attention of the people of the
State to the Importance of planting
trees for ornament, protection and
shade, by naming day upon which
this work shall be given special prom
inence, to be known and designated as
"Arbor Day"
Last year called attention to the
lack of trees in our school grounds,
and am glad to know that in compli-
ance with my request, much was done
to beautify the surroundings of our
school-houses.
Many of our rural places are bare,
or almost bare, Of trees-lying in
open fields, where the visitor can find
neither shade in summer, nor shelter
from the winters storm. In such
neglected places he many OF Mlchl-
gan's noble pioneers.
The planting of trees near our
homes appeals so strongly to our self
ishness, by its added comfort and pc
cuniary profit, that its neglect is prop
erly regarded as an indication of
shiftlessness and lack of thrift. The
decoration of Gods. Acre" rests on
higher grounds, appealing to our bet
ter nature and purer instincts. Let
me ask that, on Arbor Day, 1884, a
special effort be made to beautify with
trees and shrubs, our rural cemeteries.
A day spent among the last resting
places Of our departed ones cannot
fail to revive precious memories and
tender recollections.
Now, Therefore,, Pursuant to the
foregoing resolution, | do hereby desi-
nate Thursday, the Oath day Of April,
1884, to be known as "Arbor Day."
and recommend the general obser-
vance Of the same throughout the
State.

Some CuriOsities of Government.

From the New York sun.
Next to the President of the United
States the best paid Federal official
is the Clerk of the Supreme Court.
The States of Colorado, Delaware,
Florida, Nevada, Oregon, Rhode Is
land, and Vermont have less than
one-half the population of Illinois,
but have the same number of represen-
tatives in Congress-twenty.two.
Pennsylvania has a larger number
of post Offices than any other State.
Not a clerk in the pension office in
this city draws less than 81 900 year
salary, the average for the 1,173
clerks being 81 ,294. Even the copy
lists get 5000 a year. These clerks
have light labor and short hours.
The average salary of the railway
post Office clerks throughout the
country is only 1917 a year. These
men work hard, at the most trying
labor, and have long hours.
Eighty years ago North Carolina
had as many representatives in Con-
gress as New York. North Carolina
now has nine, or one less than she had
in 1880, while New York has thirty
four.
There are 419 typcsetters, besides
apprentices, in the government print
ing office.
Estimating Congress to be in ses-
sion 200 days year, the salaries of
Senators and Representatives amount
to about $4,000 a day.
The State of Nevada, which has
two Senators and one Representative
in Congress, has not so large n popu-
lation by Gil souls as the city of New
Haven, Conn.
A number of the United States
Senate employees are put down on
the records as skilled" laborers and
draw pay at 81 900 a year, while those
who are merely "unskilled" laborers
get $40 q year. This distinction be-
tween the two is in the kind of brooms
they manipulate. The skilled" la
borer uses common broom to sweep
stone tagging, while the "unskilled"
Iaborer Yields a coarse broom in
sweeping carriage ways.
During the past ten years the gov
eminent has expended nearly $40, 000,-
900 in caring for the Indians. The
total number of Indians attached to
agencies is only 246,O00, and of these
10000 in Indian Territory, 100 in
Wisconsin, and 5000 in New York
are supposed to be at least partially
selfsupporting.
Last year the post Office depart
ment used 81, 900 worth of ink for
stamping and cancelling letters.
The five States Of Delaware, Colo
RADIO, Florida, Nevada and Oregon
combined have not 80 great O pop
ulation bv about 100000 souls as
the city of New York. Yet New
York city has but eight Represen-
tatives in Congress, while the five
States have sixteen, besides their ten
senators.
In the fiscal year ended June 80,
the governments disbursements for
pensions reached sum which exceeds
by six millions Of dollars the dis

Twelve Months for 1926.

A person who wishes his family to
keep posted on what is going on in
Alpena, in Michigan, and in the
world, can not invest the small sum
Of 1926 to better advantage.
In these progressive times a man
is obliged to keep posted on what is
going on, and we offer him a first
class chance, at very small expense,
Of doing so. No man who has the
welfare Of his family at heart can re-
fuse to invest such q small sum for
their advantage.

weekly newspapers in the United
