Arbor and Bird Day.

BY authority of law, and in har-
mony with established custom, Gov.
]. o. Davidson, by proclamation
has designated Friday, May eighth,
as Arbor and Bird Day. The day
is now observed in every state in
our union and mainly in the
schools. At various times during
the year, but chiefly in this month
Of April, a day or part of day is
given to special exercises, that the
youth of the land may have know
ledge of the value of the trees,
flowers and birds and become famil-
lar with their purposes, use and
great value to mankind. The day
(Which means simply Tree Day'D
is commonly observed, in conjunc-
ton with these exercises, by the
planting of trees, flowers and
shrubs at our homes, our school
grounds, and our parks, that they
may serve to increase their beauty
and foster in the minds Of the youth
love of nature.
Some years since the idea origin
ated of ascertaining, by vote of the
school children, the most popular
candidate for the position of State
tree. The vote was taken and the
majestic maple won first honors.
This year, on Arbor Day or the
proceeding school day, an informal
ballot will be taken on the state
flower of Wisconsin. The final vote
upon the four flowers ranking high
est will be taken in 1909. The re-
suits of the balloting will be sent
on blanks provided for that purpose
to State Superintendent, G. P.
Cary, Madison, Wis.
The position of state bird may be
ascertained in like manner at later
time.
The Arbor and Bird Day Annual
for 1908, compiled by O. S. Rice,
State Library Club, and issued by
c. P. Cary, State Superintendent, is
now out and does credit to these
gentlemen.

The new council held its first
regular session on Thursday even
ing Of last week, all of the members
present in good season, Having
had a preliminary meeting on Mon
day evening previous to digest the
work, everything proceeded very
smoothly, no serious difference in
opinion appearing. There were it
is true some contests on the differ
ent candidates, but the results were
accepted cheerfully by all. The re-
suits of the election and general de-
tail business will be found in an
other column. Everything indi-
Gates that the new council will give
earnest attention to the public bust
ness and that harmony may be ex-
pected in all their proceedings.
The dwelling of Richard Flint on
his farm two miles northeast of this
city was destroyed by fire last Mon
day afternoon. The fire originated
in the upper story from a defective
chimney, and but little could be
done to stop its progress. Mr.. Flint
was absent from home. Mrs. Flint
telephoned the neighbors who hast
ened to her asst stance and removed
nearly all the contents of the front
rooms, but that in the rear and on
the upper floors was consumed.
Mr.. Flint lost all his clothes except
those he wore. The loss is about
$500, with no insurance, which is
a severe hardship upon Mr.. and
Mrs. Flint at this time. They have
secured from the Pierce County
Telephone Co. a cook shanty on
wheels and will be obliged to get
along with meager quarters for q
time. The house was built in or
about the year 1856 by Tylston
Pratt, who was its owner and occu-
pant Cor many years. The original
building had in late years been
added to and otherwise improved.

Hammond News:-A crowd of
young people from here went to New
Richmond last Friday evening to at
tend the county oratorical contest.
That they were given hot time by
the New Richmond crowd was GER
tain as they came home during the
night, some without hats, others
with discolored optics, while one of
| the party was left there in the care
of a doctor and returned in the
morning with badly broken nose.
From the appearance of the Ham
mond crowd Saturday morning one
would have thought that they had
been the star performers in pugil-
istic encounter instead Of having
only attended High School orator
| ica1 contest.
1t is a pleasure to notice the in
creased effort made by our business
men and citizens to improve the
surroundings of their homes and
places Of business. This last week
has seen the removal of many an
ash pile and rubbish heap, lawns
have been raked and all things un-
slightly have been removed. This
is as it should be and every citizen
interested in the sanitary conditions
of our town and the identifying of
our streets and homes should give
| the originatorS of the movement his
heartfelt appreciation. The ladies
Of the Improvement League have
surely worked wonders since their
organization and words Of approval
are heard on all sides. This past
year they have accomplished much,
their best work being the building
of the cement walk which leads to
Greenwood Cemetery, and they now
propose to further beautffy the APP
proach by widening the parking and
setting out a row of shade trees.
/ This is what River Falls needs
more shade trees. 1t also needs to
have the ones already mere put into
better shape. There are very few
trees in our town which are trimmed
up high enough, it is we'll enough
for bushes and shrubs to be
"pruned" but a tree should have no
overhanging branches which will
obstruct the view the whole length
Of the street. In the southern part
of our state there is a town which
travelling pronounce the prett1-
est in the west because of its wide,
well-kept streets and its large, we'll
trimmed trees. There no branches
are allowed to project within ten
feet of the sidewalk and in most
places the lowest limbs are twenty
feet above. Here is work which
every householder can attend to and
the results will be more than worth
the small effort put forth. Hunt
up the ladder and sharpen the saw
and get busy. Nature has honored
us BY bestowing her beauties with
lavish hand, let us add to our
picturesque scenery by doing much
for ourselves along the improvement
