The Story of Our States
 By JONATHAN BRACE
 XXx.-WISCONSIN
 THE many N~ AA Wisco s in k AE<G1NsN with French M "AAy y9H names show W NxJYHW / the French M&S8 I48H influence in
 T its early set clement. The first white man to penetrate this region was Jean Nicollet, who was sent out In 1884 by Champlain to open trade with the Indians. He landed at Green Bay and prob ably traversed the country to Chicago. Fur traders and mis- sionariss followed and the latter built a mission where Ashland now stands. This was the first church erected in the state and around 1t sprang up the first permanent settlement. Joliet and Father Marquette descended the Wisconsin river. and La Salle explored great deal of Wisconsin before he took his famous trip down the Mississip- pi. Among the fur traders to come to Wisconsin shores was Daniel ds Lhut, after whom the city of Duluth, M!nn., was named.
 During the Revolution Wiscon- sin remained loyal to the Brit ish and though Wisconsin be- came part of the United States by the Treaty of Paris in 17S3, 1t was not until 1S18 that federal troops really established authority there. Indian upris- ings continued for some time ending only with the Black Hawk war in 1882. Then fol- lowed extensive immigration from the New England States.
 Wisconsin had formed part of the Northwest territory until 1900. when It became a part of Michigan territory, under which jurisdiction It remained until 1886, with the exception of nine years. when it was considered part of Illinois territory. With the admission of Michigan as d state, the Wisconsin territory was created. which included al- 30 the present states of Iowa and Minnesota and portions of North and South Dakota.
 In 1874 Wisconsin was taken into the Union as the thirtieth state. It's area is 56,066 square miles and It has thirteen cleo toraI votes for president.
 The state Is named after the Wisconsin river. This is an Ojibwa phrase which means gathering waters" IL Is some times called the Badger State 70 by Mcclure Newspaper 5yndicatsO

BETTER BE SAFE THAN SORRY

H. NJ .Cottrell, agriculturallst of the tie Board of Commerce, has been tray cling through the cotton counties of Arkansas much of the time since ttN first of the year and has kept in close touch with plans of the farmers and their preparation for this years crop. Tn the matter of reduction of cotton acreage he finds there is still much Of the old tendency to allow the other fel- low to do the reducing He has found hill farmers who intend to plant more cotton than usual, on the theory that for the first time the planter in the bottom lands will make a radical re ductfon.
 There is still time to save the situa- ton in Arkansas. as much of the cot ton land is implanted. The cotton grow CT knows. or should know, that a bis crop throughout the South this year means financial disaster. He is under taking a dangerous gamble if he plants heavily on the theory that other cotton growers will reduce. Any crop plan ming that fails to care for the necessary feedstuffs is unsafe.
 Farmers will find that the freight rates of today make 1t doubly necessary for them to plant the feedstuff they will need Corn bought in Iowa at B cents per bushel will, on account 0f freight rates, be about Si per bushel when delivered to an Arkansas farm And if the feedstuffs are raised in Ark ansas several millions of dollars that in the past have gone to Iowa and other states each year will be kept in Arkansas.-Arkansa Gazette
 William !. Bryan once said; "out wonder stands the barefooted plowboy waiting and watching for the first faint drippings of the free silver flood"
 MT. Cottrell is giving some good advice on how to get some of the sill yer dollars that will jingle h the pockets this fall providing we don't chance another heavy cotton crop. Another set back this year means cal amity. Because as Carl Baer and oth- CTS have pointed out 70 per cent of the wealth and prosperity of the country, lies out in the great agricultural belts of America When the farmer fails, we all fail: When they prosper, the world prospers To bet it all on a big cotton crop this year would be dangerous gamble.

AUTOMOBILE TIRES ARE GET
TING BETTER.

One of the noteworthy features re-
garding the manufacture of automo-
bile tires in this country is the fact
that during the last five years tires
have improved so greatly in quality
that the average number of tires used
on an automobile during a year has
dropped from five to considerably un-
der four.
This drop has come, too, in the
face of an increase in Winter driving
so large as to be a vital element in
the calculation. Many cars now OPP
crate twelve months in the year but
in spite of this increased period of
service, the average annual consump-
ton of tires per car has steadily fall
len.
With the return to normal times
and with money less plentiful, car
owners are certain to watch their ex-
pense bills more closely. The exer-
else of only moderate degree of
care by the car owners will lift the
average mileage secured from tires
to point many thousands of miles
above any hitherto reached.
So far as known, the best record
ever made on set of four tires was
that of a Boston merchant who got
1915 miles on set of United
States Royal Cords. He attributed
this phenomenal record to the care
given to the tires by his chauffeur.
