Tbe seating capacity of the Methodist church should be taxed to tbe
limit next Tuesday evening This is
promised to be one of the best entertainment numbers put on in any ly-
oeum course in tbe state this year.
Tbe Sotaubert Ladies'- Quartette bas
given - splendid satisfaction everywhere they.bave appeared.
" It will be remembered tbat tbe ladles were to bave furnished the second number of the course early In
Jannary. One of the members was
quarantined and tbe company played
one or two engagements with a substitute. Their performance- even
thns handicapped seemed to satisfy
tbeir audiences bnt did not satisfy
the true artistic standards of tbe ladies themselves- 1 Tbey cancelled
their engagement here at tbeir own
request, without even consnlting tile
Chicago management, because tbey
did not want to. furnish Olare with
anything leas tban their best artistic
production. -7 -
Apparently tbe management wonld
have been glad to cancel this number, as it ha**-been very difficult to
get them to set a definite date for
reappearance. In fact a special delivery letter received only yesterday
morning finally verifies the data as
next Tuesday evening. Tbia f* tt*
most expensive number of tbe oonrse
bnt will be offered at the usual
price*. Oome early and get a nood

ARBOR   DAY   PROCLAMATION
Fifty years ago tbe state of Nebraska instituted tbe observance of a day set apart for tree planting. This day was known
as Arbor Day, and its observance bas become general throughout
the nation. It is a day of sentiment, reverence and faith—sentiment in the acknowledgment of the tender susceptibility of man
toward all living things ot the out-of-doors; reverence inspired
within ns by tbe sturdiness ot tbe oak, the. majesty ot tbe pine,
tbe beauty of tbe elm. and' the splendor of the leaf bearing
branches of the maple with its seasons of changing oolor and
form; a well grounded faith in tbe productive energy of nature's
generous creative forces.
To ns of Miohlgan, Arbor Day Is of particular significance.
Time was when onr forests outshone in splendor and magnificence
tbose of any other 8tate. Today, through tbe utilization of tbis
natural prodnct and tbe devastation wrought by forest fires, tbese
forests have to a large extent disappeared, though we still have
' many thousands of aores of beantiful forest land.
Therefore, by virtue of tbe authority vested in me as Governor of the State of Michigan,' I do hereby designate Friday,- May
fifth, 1922, as Arbor Day, and I request that exercise* appropriate
to the day be held in all our school*.
