HOW

CITY. OF CAIRO. ILLINOIS,
GOT ITS EGYPTIAN NAME
Why Is Illinois most southern
city named Cairo. while various
other nearby points bark back
to the land of the Nile. and why
Is the whole southern pnrt OF
the state popularity known us
"Egypt?"
The story Of how Cairo, stand
Ing Importantly Mt the junction
Of the Mississippi and the Ohio
rivers, came to acquire Its name
II more than 100 years old. Judge
John NJ. Lansden Of that city,
who has written History OF
Cairo" recalled 1t. At that early
date KaskaskIa was the capital
Of the Illinois territory.
Cairo was planned at Kas-
kaskia In 1917" said Judge
Lansden. "and charter was
granted Its promoters or incor-
porators by the territorial leg
islature January 8, 1918. almost
II year before the state was adj
mittcd into the Union. They re-
gnrded the Junction of the riv-
ers here as grand site for
great city and thought It re-
sembled the site of Cairo on the
Nile. and hence their use Of Its
name for their proposed city.
such was the origin OF the
name and there followed 1t Mt
distant intervals the towns or
villages, all within thirty miles.
Of the Egyptian names Of Alex
andrin, Thebes. Dongoln and
Karnak. Cairo may be rightly
said 10 have given them their
names. Alexandria ceased to
exist long years ago.
THE name Egypt as applied
to southern Illinois is tradition
al only. 1t and all the other
names followed Cairo In order
OF time, and 1t may be Cairo
had something to do with ap-
plying the name to this part of
the state. but the better account
is the long-nccepted story of 60
ing down into Egypt for corn,
AS did Joseph's brethren many
centuries ago"

There is abundant room for Inn

provement consists for the most part
in adherence to the original plan, or
at most In slight changes or modifica-

time to time-not all of which, by the

problem Is one Of applying sound and
well-tried principles to life, removing
obstacles to the efficient working Of

thought and act the noblest ideals
From this point Of view, the attitude
Of Americans should be appreciative
and grateful, rather than critical. To

is very like turning from Christianity
