PROCLAMATION BY
GOVERNOR FERRIS.

One of my dearest memory pictures
is father sitting in the cooling shade OF
a beautiful pine that he and l planted
long years ago. The sweet, plaintive
music of this tree comes back TO me in
moments of solitude. Trees are real
friends of man, beast and bird. In re-
cent years we have come to realize
this. 1t is hoped that Americans will
acquire enthusiasm in preserving USE
full and beautiful trees in both city and
country, that they will plant every
year useful and beautiful trees by the
roadside, in school yards, about their
homes, in parks and farm fields.
Let US cherish loyalty and love fol
our feathered songsters; yes. tender
regard for the birds who can't sing,
birds that destroy in the aggregate
millions Of destructive insects. The
economic and aesthetic value of birt
life is beyond calculation. The hearts
of boys and girls and "grown ups" be.
come more human, more helpful, as
they come to read Alright the Creator I
message in the lives Of trees and birds,
Therefore /, Woodbridge N. Ferris,
Governor of the State of Michigan, dc
hereby designate Friday, May 9Th, A.
D. e914, as Arbor and Bird Day, anc
do request that this day be observed
by all schools, public and private, ant
other educational institutions by the
planting of trees for identifying schoo
grounds and parks, and by conducting
suitable exercises for promoting the
spirit of protection to trees and birds.

Governor.

Play Was Pleasing.

A large and appreciative audience
gathered at the Baraga Grange hall
Monday evening and witnessed the
play, The Bowery Night School"
A few minutes before the hour
nine there was a tremendous shuffiing
Of feet and clapping of hands and in
response the curtain arose, showing a
stage made by the boys, complete even
to the footlights.
The play was side-splitter from be-
ginning to end. The delighted audi
ence fairly roared at the antics Of the
several nationalities in seeking admis-
sion to the school, and their perform
ances on the blackboard were very
comical. Especially laughable were
the jaw-breaking phrases of the Pro-
fessor.
1t was all home talent and fine, and
the only objection is that the enter
tainments are too few and far between.
Those taking part were Spencer MUIR
ply, George Deffoe, Fred Clish. Willis
Clish, Harvey Raymond, Bernard Ray
mond, Roy Strstton and l.. C. Rinkey.

ing the play was up to the high stand
