Governors Plea for Trees and
Birds

Long years ago loyal Michigan citi-
zen planted hundreds of naples on
either side of the highway fronting his
large farm. These trees are now large
and beautiful. These trees did not af-
feet the productivity of his farm.
When he planted these trees he had in
mind the thousands of men, women and
children who would receive real Joy
from his gift to this ''main travelled
road +" Some day both city and coun-
try will come to appreciate the import
ance of tree-planting along the high
weys. on the hillsides, in yards and In
parks.
Trees without birds would get lone
some. Trees and shrubs arc the nat
ural homes of many of our birds.
These winged creatures are mans best
friends. They not only destroy mil
lions Of destructive insects, but they
appeal to mans sense of beauty, in
their plumage, in their song and in their
graceful movements.
The trees and the birds teach "mu-
tual aid" teach a universal poetry,
teach the benefcence of the Father of
us all,
Therefore, |, Woodbridge N. Ferris,
governor of the state of Michigan. do
hereby designate Friday, May 9Th, 1915,
as Arbor and Bird Day, and do request
that this day be observed by all schools,
public and private, and other eduea-
tional institutions by the planting of
trees for identifying school grounds
and parks, and by conducting suitable
exercises for promoting the spirit of
protection to trees and birds.
Woodbridge N. Ferris,
Governor of Michigan.

which occasion was equally as charm
ing as the others, delicious refresh
ments being served and the guest of
honor was given a kitchen shower.
A few evenings since, while F. A.
Grinnell was peacefully perusing The
Flint Journal in the quietude of his
room, there came rap at the door and
in response to the signal he was sur
prised, and agreeably so, to see nearly
the entire neighborhood lined up before
him. They evidently Endorsed the prin-
ciple of Preparedness" as nearly all
of them were fully armed" with vari-
Gus suspicious looking dishes, baskets,
ETC., indicating beyond doubt that
they had come prepared to capture the
''last trench" if necessary. 1t is need
less to add that Mr.. Grinnell greatly
enjoyed the incident, as doubtless did
the invaders. The evening was
spent in genial conversation and vari-
Gus "reminiscences and with the aid of
the Victrola, ice cream, cake, etc., the
time passed pleasantly and quickly
away, and at late hour many kind
good nights" were said to the host
and all returned to their homes.
We understand that at the last an
nual meeting of Vienna Post, G. A. R.,
held week or so ago, action was
taken looking to the disbanding of the
post and the sale of the building in
which they have met for many years
and which was moved to its present To-
cation on East Vienna Street from Pine
Run, where it once did service as a
store. Following this action, we are
told, another meeting was held and the
previous action was rescinded, The
post once had rather large member
ship. but the unsparing hand of time is
swiftly gathering the old comrades to
"fame's eternal camping ground" so
that only about eighteen members re-
main. The present members of the
Post are as follows: Jos. Buffum, c. H.
D. Barker, Porter Greenfield, VIM.
Wood, Conrad Leach, Edwin Ormsbee,
H. H. Richardson, VIM. Bone, A. S.
Shelley, Sylvester Leach, Tice Perrigo,
