the laws of the United States, an affidavit of the person giving the notice, stating the
time, place, manner of service and by whom and upon whom the service was made, shall be
attached to a true copy of the notice, and the notice and affidavit shall be recorded
ninety days after giving the notice, or if the notice is given by publication in a
newspaper, there shall be attached to a printed copy of the notice an affidavit of the
