In the middle of the seventeenth century La Salles explorations brought him through the wooded wilderness of Indiana. Shortly there followed Jesuit missionaries from Quebec and in their trail came adventurous rangers and fur traders. French forts and trading posts were soon' established. In 1763 the British took possession of this territory after the French and Indian wars, and remained in possession until the Revolution. One of the boldest campaigns of the Revolution was that of Clark's little army, whose indomitable courage and audacity finally defeated the large British garrison at Vincennes and won the Northwest territory for Virginia. Pioneers from the East and from Kentucky made their way Into this new territory, and among these was Abraham Lincolns family. It was in 1816, the year that Indiana became the nineteenth state, that Lincoln attained citizenship in Indiana. With the increase in populaion by 1800 Indiana Territory was formed, extending from the Ohio border west to the Mississippi and north to Canada. Vincennes was selected as the first capital. In 1804, when the Louisiana Purchase was made, the government of Louisiana was placed in the hands of the Indiana Territory officials, so that for one year the capital of Louisiana was bIsq at Vincennes in Indiana. ' William Henry Harrison was governor and it was his victory over the Indians at Tippecanoe which freed this territory from the Indian raids. Later, when running for president, Harrisons slogan was Tippecanoe and Tyler too, Although nicknamed the Hoosier State, from the old southern slang for rough backwoodsmen, Indiana, with its 36,254 square miles, its fifteen Presidential electors, and containing as It does the center of population, is considered of utmost importance politically. MISSISSIPPI THE State of de- name its from the river which forms Its western boundary. The word itself comes from tlio Algonquin m i s s which means great river. It is popularly supposed to mean Father of the Waters but this interpretation Is incorrect. The state is also known as the Bayou State from the many bayous which are formed by the shifting river. In this connection it is interesting to note the uneven course of the Mississippi river. Though the extreme length of the state from the Gulf to Tennessee is 330 miles, the western border, due to the winding of the Mississippi river, extends foi nearly 500 miles. The rivers play an important part In this state. They are so numerous and the country so subject to flood that the river bottoms cover nearly of the area of the entire state. Recompense for this condition, however, lies in the richness of the soil and it is claimed that the Yazoo bottoms form the best cotton lands in the 'world. The early history of Mississippi Is yoked up with that of Louisiana of which it originally formed a part. Discovered by De Soto in 1539, it was not until La Salle sailed down the river and claimed this territory, which he named in honor of his French king, Louis XIV, that a permanent settlement was established. In 1763 the territory east of the Mississippi was ceded by the French to the English. For a while the lower portion of the present state was called West Florida. After being captured by the Spanish and later returned to the United States, the Territory of Mississippi was extended to Us present size of 46,865 square miles and in 1817 It was admitted as the twentieth state of the Union. At the time of the Mexican war, although called upon to supply one regiment of volunresponded with teers, Mississippi enough men for two. One of these regiments was commanded by Jefferson Davis, who later was the president of the Confederate states. Since its readmittance to the Union In 1870 Mississippi in national elections has been a Democratic state except in 1872, when it voted for Grant. It Is at present entitled to ten electoral votes for president rives one-fift- h Where Cheeses Are Made. Cheeses are generally named for the town or district from which they come.

The park at the present time is composed of three noncontiguous areas, two on the island of Hawaii, the largest island of the group composing the territory of Hawaii, and one of the island of Maui. Briefly, the park lands may be described as follows: The Kilauea section, which embraces the crater of Kilauea and much of the surrounding region. Its area is 35,865 acres. The Mauna Loa section, which includes the crater of Mokuaweoweo, the summit creater of the great mountain Mauna Loa, with some adjacent lands. The total area is 17,020 acres. The Haleakala section, which is on the island of Maui, and includes the crater of the extinct volcano Haleakala. Its total area is 21,150 acres. A tract that will contain 360 acres, and will connect the Mauna Loa and Kilauea sections of the park. Mauna Loa is intermittently active and the worlds largest volcano. Near the top of this great mountain, towering to a height of 13,675 feet above the sea, is the crater of Mokuaweoweo, with an area of 2,370 acres, a circumference of 9.47 miles, a length of 3.7 miles, and a width of 1.74 miles. In October, 1919, a great flow of lava from the west side of Mauna Loa took place. It began in a rift well up toward the summit, and sweeping its way through virgin forests below finally reached the sea, where it pushed up It was called il sand cone of' great dimensions. the Alika flow, because it passed over the Alika section of South Kona. It destroyed 1,800 linear feet of the main highway around the island. Leading from the crater itself and in the region just below are several rifts of great scientific interest. From these rifts, which in many cases are highly colored, numerous lava flows have issued, among them the great flow of 1881 which nearly destroyed the city of Hilo. In the line of these rifts are many spatter cones and other peculiar phenomena that attract the attention of the tourist. Halekala, The House of the Sun, is the largest quiescent volcano in the world. The elevation of its summit is 10,032 feet. Its crater is nineteen square miles, or 12,160 acres; the circumference of the rim, twenty miles; extreme length, 7.48 miles; extreme width, 2.37 miles. The almost vertical walls drop half a mile or more. It is impossible to realize the great area of the crater. The whole of New York city, below Central park, could be buried within its depths, and the highest of that citys church spires would be but toys by the side of its cinder cones; cones which rise like young mountains from the bottom of the crate!, d and which are relatively but ant hills when viewed from the summit. This vantage point is above the usual cloud elevation. The level rays of the setting sun illuminate every nook and corner of the stupendous crater and bring to view the outlines and delicate tints of the majestic pictures which have been hung in this mammoth gallery, to thrill and awe all who look upon them. Sunrise on Haleakala. Sunrise, seen from Haleakalas summit, is a moving picture of natures painting. Says a visi- -- tor: Ten thousand feet above the ocean, which we could see far bfelow, we waited, and soon were rewarded by a faint glow; then, as the sun rose higher above the horizon, the glow gradually changed to a beautiful orange red, and the clouds like great white downy rivers flowed and disappeared into the crater on the edge of which we stood. As tfie sun rose higher the colors in the crater became more and more intense, the shadows deeper and bluer, and then the sunlight befields far below gan to brighten the sugar-can- e fully 10 or 15 minutes after we had seen the first glow. We watched for almost an hour. It seemed like two worlds, one above the other, one alive and the other coming into lifp as the sun warmed it. Hawaii is a territory of the United States, annexed in 1898. The inhabited islands comprise a chain of eight, stretching over a distance of more than four hundred miles, with a total area of 6,500 square miles and a population of 256,180. From northeast to southwest the islands are Kauai, Oahu, Molokai, Maui, Lanai, Kahoo-law- e and Hawaii, the latter giving Its name to the group. Honolulu, island of Oahu, is the cap ital and chief commercial city. Nii-ha- Dry Cleaning by Parcel Post.
