The Story of
!! Our States
: By JONATHAN BRACE
; XX.-MISSISSIPPI
| Mw% TEE M Ssass
: HM&MA sippi derives
/: I'M \AA its name from
: lA MNM the river
; ~<~ it's western
: ~~ boundary.
: The word itself comes from the
: Algonquin missi-sepe which
!: means great river" 1t is popu-
: larly supposed to mean Father
of the Waters" but this interpre-
!: tation 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 $50
miles, the western border, due
to the winding of the Mississippi
river, extends for 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 n fifth
!: of the area Of the entire state.
The early history of Missis-
sippi is yoked UP with that Of
Louisiana of which it originally
formed a part. Discovered by
De Soto in 1889, it was not until
La Sale sailed down the river
and claimed this territory, which
he named in honor of his French
king, Louis XIV, that a perma-
nent settlement was established.
In 1853 the territory east of
the Mississippi was coded 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 re-
turned to the United States, the
Territory of Mississippi was ex-
tended to its present size of 49,
865 square miles and in 1917 it
was admitted as the twentieth
state of the Union. At the time
of the Mexican war, although
called upon to supply one regi-
ment of volunteers, Mississippi
responded with enough men for
two. One Of these regiments
was commanded by Jefferson
Davis, who later was the presi-
dent of the Confederate states.
Since its readmittance to the I'm
ion in 1870 Mississippi in Ia
tional elections has been a Demo
cratic state except in 1872, when
1t voted for Grant.

This incident, from the Ietters 90
carlyle and Emerson, is one of the
grounds on which Americans base
their conviction that Europe would like
corn If 1T could ever be persuaded n
give 1t a fair trial. The department
OF agriculture once sent demonstrators
ana lecturers to Europe to enligbten
the different countries as TO the nossi-
bilities of Indian corn. Neither alo-
quenee nor samples of corn Disguised

forward to get the samples.
Because of such experiences who,

corn to the rescue. You NAV remem.
