French Founded New York

Several days ago your correspon-
dent reported the invitation extended
King Albert by Rev. Charles S. Mac
Farland. general secretary of the
Churches of Christ in America. ask
ing the sovereign to honor with his
presence the celebration of the three
hundredth anniversary Of the found
ing of New York.
AS a chief reason for his invitation
Mr.. AlacFarland observed that the
American metropolis owed its birth
in large measure to original Walloon
colonists. OF course, the Belgian
news papers have taken the liveliest
interest in this bit of history and
several Of them, notably the Nation
Beige, have printed exhaustive ar
ticles on the subject.
1t would seem to be a fact. how
ever. that the real founders OF New
York were in reality people from
northern France or. more exactly,
from the ancient province Of Hainaut.
1t was. indeed, n man from Avesnes
in that province. named Jesse dc
Forest, who. in 1924. went ashore on
the island of Manhattan with some
three hundred Wal!oon farmers and
artisans who had brought their
household goods and cattle from Ant
werp. where they shipped.
These colonists named the con1mu-
nitv which they formed there New
Avesnes. in honor of their home city.
Later. when the Dutch crowded them
out. the city became New Amster-
dam, and was finally christened New
York by the English.
It has been suggested that a statue
of Jesse de Forest be erected in New
York in 1s2f.-Kansas City Star.

FUNERAL SPECIAL
(cortinued from Page one)

many other floral pieces we're put
aboard the train here.
AS the train bearing the Presi-
dents body moved along those
watching from the train saw the
sorrowful faces of the thousands
with all eyes directed toward the last
coach where lay the body Of the ma
tons chief and where rode his
widow. Tears trickled down the
cheeks of men and women as the
funeral cortcge passed. Little chill
dren followed the train as 1t moved
down the tracks, some of them sob
bling. 1t was Estimated that those
who saw the funeral cortege here
numbered from 100000 to 100000
persons. Some OF them had stood
along the dusty, hot and uncomfort-
able right Of way for more than four
hours
Airplanes dropping flowers circled
overhead as the train entered the
city.
Vending its way throug thhe rail-
road yards the funeral cortege might
we'll be said to have passed through
a cross section of America.
Through the great steel and in
| scCtlohs thS beANN''Ao
and the lumber yards, the nations
burden OF sorrow was carried and
the machinery along the way was
stilled as the workers stood bare
headed outside the factories.
Then on into the business section
crept the funeral special and again
the places of business we're silent
and the hum of commerce was still
cd.
As the train crawled onward
through the silent mass Of humanity
it entered the residential section and
here again it was met in silence.
while from windows flags dropped
and from porchcs crepe eddied, all
eloquent OF a city's grief.
In making the trip through Chi
cago the train also passed through
the sections commonly designated
by the nationalitics inhabiting them.
1t was significance fact that
through these quarters of the city,
so often termed foreign" the train
was met by the same sorrowlng
thousands that greeted it elsewhere.
Italians. Poles, Greeks. Jews. Ger
mans. Negroes, Slavs-they all were
Americans. mourning the passing or
Warren G.. Harding as the funeral
cortege swept by.
Mrs. Harding at window near the
casket of her husband, for part of
the time watched the sympathetic
sorrowing faces of the crowds. the
tear stained cheeks of men, women
and little children. She must have
felt that no living president in the
Courtry's history ever drew his
countrymen to his side as did War
rem G. Harding in death.
Two pullman coaches laden with
floral offerings to point which made
passage through them impossible,
gave mute testimony of the outpour-
ing of love which has been Americas
response to the death of its leader
all the way from the Golden Gate
to the city on the shores of Lake
Michigan.
Tonight several hours behind its
schedule. the train wound it's way
around the tip of Lake Michigan,
and across the level stretches OF In
diana. Before morning it was ex-
pccted to cross the borders Of the
Presidents own Ohio.

Dollar DAYS in Gardiner

Read what the Gardiner Retail
Merchants association say in their
large ad. 1t is important for peo-
pie to know where genuine bargains
can be obtained in these times of
high prices for coal and many neces-
stiles of life. Well to remember that
the. trite saying, "a dollar saved is
good as the dollar earned" Is never
theless true. Merchants Of Gardiner
are keyed up to the necessity of
making such low prices that shop
pers will be convinced that 1t pays
to do their shopping in city where
the overhead expenses Of the stores
do not require big prefit. Quick
sales and small profits mean a
healthy condition of business for
both merchants and buyers. Come
Thursday and Saturday and see.
Look for merchants ads in Wednes-
days Journal, giving prices and full
particulars.-Adv.

Yueatan the Egypt Of America"

Yucatan is 'the Egypt of America"
As early as the beginning OF the
Christian Era the people there built
stone structures of excellent mason
~, true angles, and smooth, vertical
FACES. They had astronomical OBJ
servatories. an accurate calendar ana
n better system OF numerals than the
Romans. When the people OF north
ern Europe were living in reed huts
the Mayas OF Yucatan seem to have
been on the verge of true civilization.
The cause of their declire is un-
known. When the conquistadores
came. soon after the year 1900. their
temples. palaces and cities were al
ready in ruins.
