WISCONSIN'S ARBOR DAY

Following is Governor DavidSon'S
proclamation for 1906 Arbor Day in
Wisconsin, which falls on Friday May,
fourth.
with passing years, interest in
forestry is increasing, due no doubt,
largely to sentiment stimulated by
Arbor Day. 1t is fitting that the
natural beauty of the state should Oe
preserved and enhansed. We are apt
to forget flowers and trees and the
beauties of wild nature in the present
day rush of wealth.
"TO bring cur children to a reali-
cation of the beauty of trees and
flowers; to instruct them in the
economic value of things in nature; to
inStill into their natures healthful
love for tie things of earth; to en-
gender in our citizens greater civic
pride, it is recommended that this day
be observed by our educational IN
situations by the planting of green
things and by such instructions,
ceremonies and exercises as will i'm
press upon all the great Importance of
this noble work.

BANQUET THE PUNCTUALS

The banquet given by the delin-
quent members of the Literery and
Historical Society to the punctuals, at
the home OF Mrs. A. M. Muir Tuesday
was thoroughly enjoyed by all who at
tended. 1t was unanimously conceded
that the delinquent members compen.
stated by their novel method of enter
tanning, for their delinquency during
the year.
In arranging this banquet the no.
velty of the invitations were striking.
The invitation was written by hand
on green wrapping paper and enclosed
in home made envelopes of plain brown
wrapping paper. The wording was
unique in that it followed the meter
of Longfellow's "Hiawatha, and read
as TO lows:
Come, We punctuals, We faithful
Come to the Muir'S, next Tuesday,
Come We downtown, come We upstairs
Come because delinquentS want you.
Be We punctual as We have been

Come and let us talk together
Let us eat and talk together.
All the winter, long and dreary
When the snow piled on the sidewalks
Plowed We thro on Monday evening
To every weekly meeting.
The delipquentS by our tireSides
Sat and listened to the North wind
Listened as it hOwled about US
So we ventured not to go there
For we feared to brave the tempest.
Now toO,late we see the folly
OF our love of ease and comfort.
Next year you may serve the banquet
Next year we will be the punctuals.
At the last regular meeting of this
society the following officers were
elected: President, Mrs. A. M. Muir
Secretary and Treasurer Mrs. E. G
Clark; First Vice-PreSident, Mrs. J. J

Letter to Mr.. j. Friedrich,
NEKOOSA, Wis.

Dear Sir: No matter what your
ideas about paint and painting may
be, whether you believe in nothing
so good as lead and OIL" or have some
mixed paint that you think is 1.-THE
BEST" here's little story that may
teach you something.
Henry Kirch, of Mazomanie, Wis,
was told by his painter that it would
need IA gallons of Devoe lead-and-zinc
Paint to do good job ON his house.
The painter evidently had lead and
oil or some mixed paint in mind.
Mr.. Kirch bought four gallons of
the color he wanted, which was all
that FL. Lappley, the dealer had on
hand; and wired to us for the other
ten gallons. When the job was finished
they counted six gallons left over;
took them back to the dealer. They're
all wondering how it happened.
Yours truly,
E. w. DEyOE & Co.
New York and Chicago.

NEKOOSA.


It is said that over 500 has been
subscribed for the new ferry across the
river at the foot of Market street.
The county board will be asked to
grant charter for this purpose, to a
company to be incorporated at an early
date.
The building located in the rear of
A. f. Zurful's saloon is being fitted
up for August Brantecker, who will
open up tin shop in the near future.
Mr.. Brantecker is practical tinsmith,
and was employed by the Centralia
Hardware Co. for many years.
o. d. Billings has found it necessary
to provide more room for his growing
business, and will erect a new two
story building, with sufficient room
for the installation of necessary ma
chinery and bins. When completed
he will be able to accommodate all far
mers. Mr.. Billings expects to get the
building underway at an early date. as
he is DESTROYS of resuming operations
as soon as possible.
g. @. Hanover, who has been en-
ployed as agent for the @. M. & ST. p.
BY, has been promoted to the reSpOn-
sible position OF travelling auditor for
that company with headquarters in
NJ il Haukee. While Mr.. Hanover will
travel over 100 miles in covering his
territory, it is not his intention to
move his family from NekooSa. Their
many friends here rejoice in this fact.
and also in the good fortune that re-
suits from the faithful manner in
which Mr.. Hanover has performed his
duties. He will assume charge of his
new work as soon as the new agent ar
rives to take his place.
REAL ESTATE MEN ARRESTED
Charged with obtaining money under
false pretenses and operating conf
dence game, Robert and Henry Ulrich
brothers, real estate dealers, with Of
fees in the Ashland Block, were ar
rested yesterday. They were later re-
leased on bonds furnished by bond
ing company. Robert Wachholz, a
milkman, 6444 JoStine street, is the
complainant. He says the Ulichs rep
resented themselves as public admin
iStrators for Illinois and Wisconsin,
and that he deposited So, 400 with them
to be used in buying farm lands and
cattle. He learned later, he" said, an
other man owned the prOperty.-Chi-
| cago Record-Herald.
Henry Ulrich one of the persons
| spoken of in the above item is we'll
known in Nekoosa and Grand Rapids
and therefore are not surprised by the
above item. His dealings in Wood
county are varied and it is not at all
surprising that he should get into
trouble in Chicago.
