THE STORY OF OUR STATES By JONATHAN BRACE (© by McClure Newspaper Syndicate.) KENTUCKY r TIIE kinship of I Kentucky and ([&/C Virginia Is that of 11 £( %Vm parent and child. m W wJsll From Virginia cam# mos t of the set \vV 'V/ tiers of the west vs—ern state, and with them these pioneers brought Vir-, ginia institutions and ideals. It was not until 1750 that the first authentic Journey was made by a white man into central parts of the region afterwards called Kentucky. h urtlier explorations showed that this territory held two important at tractions for settlers. The first was the great fertility of what was called the Blue Grass region. The so-called blue grass, from which this state is nicknamed the “Blue Grass State” Is in no wise peculiar to Kentucky. The second inducement for settlers was the fact that there were no In dians living in this region. It was later found that many roving bands of savages crossed the Ohio from the north and sorely harassed the early colonists until Clark’s expeditions into Ohio and Indiana cheeked their inva sions. In fact, the name Kentucky Is probably derived from the Iroquois word Kentka-ke, meaning “hunting land.” Another interpretation is “dark and bloody ground,” but this is doubt less incorrect. The main highways of travel at that time were Daniel Boone's “Wilderness Road” through Cumberland Gap and down the Ohio. Hardy pioneers poured into this new territory in such num bers that in 1792. with the permission qf Virginia, Kentucky was admitted to the Union as the fifteenth state with an area of 40,698 square miles, Ken tucky has thirteen electoral votes for president. The remarkable physical condition of its population is shown in a report of the volunteers in the Civil war. This gave their average height as nearly an inch taller than the New England troops and with a correspond ingly greater girth of chest. TENNESSEE ®THE history of Ten * nessee stretches back to the year J 1541 when DeSoto turers probably reached the pres ent site of Memphis on the Mississip pi. The French under La Salle built a fort here about 1682. The English also laid claim to this territory, including It in the grant to North Carolina. It was not until 1770 that the first per manent settlement was made by James Robertson and this was soon followed by many other settlers from North Carolina. They formed what they called the Washington district, but this was short lived as it was prompt ly annexed to North Carolina. In 1784 the inhabitants, indignant over North Carolina’s attitude toward them, declared their independence and formed the State of Franklin or Frank land. As this secession was not coun tenanced by North Carolina, for a number of years a state of confusion existed with two sets of officers trying to govern. Meanwhile the settlement suffered severely from hostile Indians and from the Spanish, who still held Louisiana, and controlled the Missis sippi river. In 1790 North Carolina finally ceded this territory to the Uni ted States. By 1796 the population had increased to over 60,000, so Ten nessee was admitted as the sixteenth state of the Union. At the outbreak of the Civil war, Tennessee joined the Confederacy. In 1866, when the state was readmitted to the Union, there was much disor der during the reconstruction period. This led to the formation of the Ku Klux Klun, the influence of which quickly spread throughout the South ern states. This secret organization took into its own hands the suppres sion of crime and the administration of justice. Tennessee contains 42,022 square miles, and is sometimes called the Vol unteer state. It is named after its principal river, which is a Cherokee word meaning "Crooked River” oi “bend in the river.” Pure Gold Not Best for Coins. The Tuscan sequin was the purest coin known in all history, being 999 parts of pure gold to one of alloy. The 6-dycat piece of Naples, another his toric coin, was 996 parts of gold and four parts alloy, while the old Byzan tine coins were next, 986 parts gold and 14 alloy. Pure coin is soft and loses rapidly by abrasiou. and alloys are used to harden iL GRECIAN ARMY IS PUT TO FLIGHT MANY PRISONERS, TRANSPORT WAGONS, MATERIAL AND CAN NON TAKEN BY TURKS ENTIRE RIGHT WING CRUSHED Abandoning Plan Of Campaign, Tino’? Troops Work To Save Selves From Utter Rout Constantinople.—After three days oi | fghting the Turks have forced th€ Greks to retire across the Sakaria riv er in Asia Minor. The Greeks lost many prisoners, much material and cannon and transport wagons. The entire plan of campaign formu lated by the Greeks Las been tempo rarily held up. The Greeks are said really to have been defeated by the Salt desert, the lack of water and many men stricken ; with malaria. Paris. —The right wing of the Greek 1 army which was attacking the Turks | along the Sakaria river in Asia Minor has met with disaster and been com pletely severed from the main body of the Greek troops, according to a dis patch from the correspondent of L’ln formation at Constantinople. The dispatch adds that the entire Greek army is thus placed in a most difficult strategical position. The Turks are attacking and seem to have plenty of ammunition. GERMAN COMMUNISTS AND MONARCHISTS IN SANGUINARY CLASH Safety Police Were Called Out, And Were Obliged To Fire Ar|d Three Reds Werd Killed f Potsdam, Germany. —-Three persons were shot and killed here Sunday Au gust 28, in a clash between Commun ists and Monarchists. Thirty thousand Communists jour neyed here from Berlin to hold a meet ing to protest against the assassination of Mathias Erzberger and during their demonstration they clashed with the Monarchists. The safety police were called out, and they were obliged to fire. The bullets killed two “raids.” A sniper shot another “red” dead. After the outbreak the Communists succeeded in parading, afterwards en training in good order for Berlin. The trouble started when soldiers oi the Reichswehr tore up a number of red flags precipitating a fist fight, in which the safety police intervened firing on the reds. Council Of League To Discuss Silesia Geneva.—The council of the League of Nations will meet soon. It will take up as its first work the Silesian question referred to it by the inter allied supreme council. Viscount Ishii. president of the council of the league, recently told the Associated Press that he personally would present the case as the time was too short after the declination of Count Quinones de- Leon, the Spanish representative to serve, to choose another person to present the report. Pinchot Belittles Henry Ford’s Offer Washington.—Henry Ford’s Muscle Shoals nitrate plant offer, so far as it concerns the farmer, is “seven parts waterpower to one part ferti liber,” says Gifford Pinchot, president of the National Conservation associa tion. As for the rest of the people in the country. Ford’s proposal would i give him, Pinchot adds, “a public property of enormous value for a con sideration wholly inadequate and on terms utterly unfair to the public.” Three Are Killed As Airplane Falls Philadelphia.—Conrad W. Foss, pro fessional aviator, and two passengers he had taken up in his airplane were killed recently when the machine fell on the northeastern outskirts of the city. \ - 1 Huge Crowd Attends Funeral Service Hoboken, N. J. —The largest crowd that has yet attended a memorial serv ice for returned soldier dead, gather ed recently on the army piers to i honor the bodies of 5,795 soldiers that | arrived recently on the transport Wheaton. More than 10,000 attended j the ceremonies, it was estimated. Senator Urges Recognition Of Russia New York.—The United States should establish diplomatic relations with Soviet Russia at once. Senator Joseph I. France of Marland declared on his return from a several weeks’ visit in that country. Returning with Mr. France on the liner Rotterdam was Mrs. Margaret E. Harrison, a cor respondent of the Baltimore Sun, who was imprisoned in Russi£ for ten months, and was the first ol the released Americans to reach home after the United States government had effected their freedom. Daddy 5 Even Inp I MARY GRAHAM BONNER —corruGM? n wsnt* n«w*«i uwom ■ YOUNG MASTER ORIOLE. “Mother,” said young Master Ori ole, “why is it I look like you and yet most of the Bird Boys I know look like their dads?” “Y'ou look very much like me, it is true,” said Mother Oriole. “You have only been about now for two years, and you know that is not very long. But you will change your suit soon. “But your throdt and your face are covered with black feathers, beauti fully glossy black feathers like your Dad has. “He is so handsome. I know of no Orchard Oriole so handsome. Y’ou know we are of the Orchard Oriole family?” “Yes, I know,” said young Master Oriole, “Your dad wears reddish and black feathers. He dresses very smartly. I like quieter clothes better. And he likes to see me in my quieter clothes. “Now, you will be like your Dad be fore very long, before very long! “Of course, young Master Oriole, as one would guess from your name you love the Orchard, ’that love is born in you. All of the Orchard Orioles “He Is So Handsome.” love orchards, but they also love all country places and they like country roads. “They love the country. So do you! That is quite, quite natural. ‘\Ye care a great deal about our home. Your old home, you know, was beautiful, wasn’t it?” “Indeed it was,” said Master Oriole. “Yes,” said Mother Oriole, “how much I do care for my home. An Orchard Oriole uhvays does. “We always have homes which are shaped like deep baskets. Almost any one can tell an Oriole nest when see ing one, because It is so deep. “We make it of lovely soft grasses which we fix together very carefully. We don’t rush in at the last minute and make our nest any old way at all as sometimes the robins do. “We are. very particular and build very, very carefully and perfectly.. “Our cousins who live down South all the time, and who are known as t*ie Hooded Orioles, have nests of somewhat the same shape, but their nests are made of moss, and they hang down from the trees. “They are fond of bright colors, too. They look something as we do, only they are gayer and brighter in their dress. “The young master Orioles have much the same ways as you have, though. These cousins of ours, the Hooded Orioles, make lots of friends where they live. “The Mr. Hooded Orioles wear suits which are orange in color, rather than reddish brown, as the Mr. Or chard Orioles eaie for. “But they do as we do —they eat insects and are a great help to the people. “Orioles are famous for helping peo ple. Not only do we dress up and wear pretty things, but we want to do something worth while, too. “Fine feathers make fine birds, we have been told. But we don’t think that the fine feathers alone are enough. We want to do some real work, iJk>, and be worth while. “So we eat caterpillars and grass hoppers and insects and worms and bugs and beetles and little flies and all sorts of Insects who try to hurt the shrubs or trees which give pleas ure to people. “Of course the trees give fruit to people, too, but fruit means pleas ure. I know! “Yes, for years and years and years and years all Orioles have been fa mous for the work they have done, and if anyone ever says to you: “‘Fine feathers make fine birds’ you answer and say: “ ‘But fine feathers ain’t euough.’ “We Orioles know there i*, work to be done, too. and work is very pleas ant when one does the work one likes —and the Orioles have picked out the I work they like best.”
