Gov. McGoyern has designated Friday,
May 2, 1913. as Arbor and BirG Day. In
his proclamation, he says:
In harmony with approved usage, [,
Francis E. McGovern, governor of the
state of Wisconsin, hereby name Fri
day, the second day OF May, 1918, as Ar

appropriate exercises in all the schools
of Wisconsin.
"Arbor day was established to instruct
children in the economic value of flowers
and birds, to instill in their hearts a
love of nature, and TO encourage them
in making home and school surrounding
more attractive. Experience abundant
ly justifies us in continuing the custom
while thus engaged in beautifying
the landscape. protection from FIRE should
not be overlooked. Every nook and cor
ner should be e.cleared of all refuse and
infiamab.e material, SO as to prevent the
spread of fire. With this object in view
designate this day also as Fire Proven
tion Day."

Recalls the Long Past

Miss Millie Roller OF this city recently
sold tract of land near Richwood con-
tanning ten acres to Charles Klein of
WatertOwn, being the last of farm of
101 acres formerly owned by her father
which had been sold off in parcels since
his demise. The family still has in pos
session the original patent for the forty
acres of which the ten acres recently
sold was part. The paper is interest
ing inasnuch as it bears the date of Jan
/ 1850, and is signed by Zachery Taylor
then president of the United States, and
recalls the days when the fertile land of
this vicinity was wilderness and being
sold by the government at very low price
In the patent the, word Milwaukee" is
is spelled "MiIwaukie' which was the
French spelling of the word in use at
that time.

Voting Taxes For 1914 State aid
Work.

The state highway commission is send
ing out TO town chairman and town
clerks form of resolution for voting
state aid road ahd bridge taxes for w0 rk
To be constructed in 1914 These taxes
must be voted at this springs town meet
ing or at special meeting held before
September 1st.
fhe commission points out that the
Legislature has passed almost unanim-
onsly the bill making good the $3.50, 900
deficit in state aid for this years work,
which indicates that it's policy toward
adequate appropriation for 1914 and 1915
will be a generous one.
lt is customary to vote state aid taxes
by resolution at the same hour that 9th
er town business is taken up and not to
vote by ballot, though both courses are
legal.
1t is believed that votes for state aid
in 1914 will show an increase over the
votes for 1913, which were almost double
those for 1912. The movement for better
roads III Wisconsin gained tremendous
impetus under the new state aid law ,and
it is now the leading state in the Middle
West in modern road and bridge con
structiOn.
