new horses to replace those which
were burned in the fire on Friday of
last week, but the drivers are ex-

them They evidently are not "city

The Risoralmento.

The Italian word, 'risorgimento"
means literally rising again" In
some of it's verb forms the word is
seen to be cognate with our "resur-
rect" In Italian history the meaning
Of the word, for which you especially
inquire, is the rebirth or remaking of
the Italian nation. It thus covers the
period of revolt from Austrian domi-
nation and establishment Of the pres
ent kingdom-the risorgimento was
the formation OF united Italy. II began
in 1881, when Mazzini founded young
Italy" The influential paper which
Cavour edited in the stirring midcen-
fury was called II Risorgimento.

munion with the Giver of all good.
Then we throw open the door.
Some think this is to invite those who
accuse us of using blood, to enter and
see for themselves the untruth of this
horrible blood-accusation which is so
constantly renewed at this very sea-
son. Others think we open the door
to welcome Messiah, even as the old
Scotch covenanters used to be ready to
welcome their exiled "Prince Charlie
with open door and ready wine-cup.
Rather we open the door to bid the
whole world enter into the family of
our people, to declare to the world
that we have no sole right to all that
religion means, but that all men and
all women have equal right, for all
are our brethren. Are we not all
children of One Father"

should not be applied to trees that
are used TO screen out unsightly OBJ
jects or those maintained as speci-
men trees in lawns.
at is quite essential IN these days
of numerous frauds to inquire very
carefully regarding the qualifications
Of those who apply 20 do any kind of
tree work 1t Is not absolutely es-
sential that they come from institu-
tons of collegiate grade although the
various departments of forestry, hor-
ticulture and botany attempt to in
struct their classes in the fundamen-
tails of such work. A keen observer
and student, even though he may have
been deprived Of a great deal of school
training, may equip himself to prop
erly care for trees. II is, in general,
well to beware Of those who claim to
revive trees by injecting into the
trunks any kind of chemical substance.
''The city Of Alma has in Wright
park an area already beautiful but
which has also wonderful possibilities
for future development because the
trees are still young and thrifty. The
first step in the improvement should
be the removal of some of the weaker
and less desirable species of trees.
Good sod is desirable but can not be
obtained unless some sunlight is al
lowed to hit the soil. There are many
minor details to be worked out in
developing park areas which can best
be accomplished by employing a train
ed landscapist for a few days during
the summer months. Further develop
ment of Wright park and the city
tract bordering on Superior street and
the river will not only afford
recreation grounds for Alma's citi-
gems but will be attractive features to
prospective citizens.
1t is not possible in brief space to
give detailed popular discussion of all
the phases OF caring Tor trees and
parks. Public control of street trees
cannot be too strongly urged. Such a
step would necessitate passing an
ordinance putting all trees between
the sidewalks and Grub line under pub
lie control and the appointment of a
new. or designation of a present city
official to have the care of trees as his
separate branch of the city's public
work. Many Michigan cities have un-
dertaken this with pronounced sue
cess and others are rapidly following.
The cities of Detroit, Lansing and
Nnd Rapids are foremost and close

Mr. Carlton, from pains in my stom
