WSgl HSW influence in
SaMns~ its early set
tlement. 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-
sionaries followed and the latter
built a mission where Ashland
now stands. This was the first
church erected in the state and
around it sprang up the first
permanent settlement. Joliet
and Father Marquette descended
the Wisconsin river, and La
Sale explored a 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 du Lhut, after whom the
city of Duluth, Mimi, was
named.
During the Revolution Wiscon-
sin remained loyal to the Brit
ish and though Wisconsin be-
came a part Of the United
States by the Treaty of Paris in
1888, 1t was not until 1916 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 a part
of the Northwest territory until
1900, when 1t became part of
Michigan territory, under which
jurisdiction it remained until
1886, with the exception Of nine
years, when 1t was considered
a part Of Illinois territory. With
the admission of Michigan as a
state, the Wisconsin territory
was created, which included al
so the present states of Iowa
and Minnesota and portions Of
North and South Dakota.
In 1S48 Wisconsin was taken
into the Union as the thirtieth
state. It's area is 56,066 square
miles and IL has thirteen elec-
toral votes for president.
The state La named after the
Wisconsin river. This is an
Ojibwa phrase which means
gathering waters" 1t Is some
times called the Badger State.

GOLF GREENS GROWN

At the jumping rock golf. and
Country Club located near Asbury
Park, N. J., greensward for put.
ting greens. has been grown cleo
tIically. A trial was made upon a
tract Of about 5000 square feet Of
land.
The land was prepared and cared
Tor in the usual manner and
nightly the special battery of cleo
trio lights YVES turned on. In
five days the grass had begun to
grow and twenty-one days after the
electric lights had been turned on
the grass was four inches tail.
This lighting equipment consisted
OF twenty.four 1,0O0-watt tungsten
lamps each hung four feet from the
ground on seven foot centers and
supplied with special reflectors so
that there was a continuous, even
light over the whole tract.

New Type Has Many Adval,-

and Does Not Rattle

The charm Of easement windows,
long recognized, has led to many
efforts to overcome features which
were recognized as drawbacks to
windows Of this type as they were
built into homes by the pioneer
builders Of America, and before that
time. BY the builders Of Europe.
Chief among these subjects were
the inability to secure the easement
sash in an open position so that
they were not slammed back and
forth at the within OF the wind, and
the difficulty OF washing the win
dOWs installed where the outside
could not be reached from the
ground. This last difficulty, Of
course, was felt only where out
swinging sash allow a much more
convenient arrangement Of draperies
and curtains.
Easement window hardware which
Is simple In operation and which
holds the window IN any position
/ in which 1t is left and allows the
glass to be washed with ease is
new available. Another feature OF
this hardware which will appeal to
the builder Is It's ease OF Aprlicat ton.

When the window is swung wide
